Worst slogan on a billboard so far.
Got Wood? We stump and grind!
That was like 40 miles ago and I'm still protectively covering mine.

My favorite short-lived slogan is still, "Something good is coming up when you get the Bisquik down."
I mean, it's a two-for-one!
The obvious reference to vomiting, and the inference that it is a difficulty to "get the Bisquik" down.
That slogan lasted only a month or two, but had me and my friends rolling on the floor howling every time the commercial and jingle came on...
(It didn't help that the commercial had horrible, horrible child actors, so their "smiles" really did look like something was "coming up"...)

It's fun walking the dog around town so all the townies can stare.
A mom even hurried her kids across the street so as not walk past me.

My favorite billboard was in Atlanta. It was for the vasectomy clinic, it read "The Atlanta Vasectomy Clinic, Not your Average Clip Joint"

Oh, there's an AWESOME one in Oakland off highway 880.

Got back from another wedding - my brother's (congratulations, matey)
More than one person said to me, "Aha! You're next!"
OH NO NO NO NO.
However, after that, I did synchronised thumbs-in-waistcoat-pocket kick-dancing to Country & Western with my dad & uncle, so everything's fine.

Just spent 20 minutes trying to help some people who had lost their key cards, but they weren't in the computer. Eventually figured out they were at the wrong hotel. The one they were supposed to be at is 45 miles away.
They blamed Uber for taking them to the wrong hotel.
"Excuse me good sir, I'd like to go to The Gothic Castle!"
Cab driver (in a British accent) "The Gothic A~$$#&%?"
"Yes, that's what I said"

Not only was there another on the return trip, it was 200 miles from the other one.
Every billboard was either advertising genital mutilation, strip clubs, or politics.
I miss Wall Drug billboards ("only 500 hundred miles from Wall Drug, and going the opposite direction, but stop by anyway!")

Most of the billboards are likely to be about filling the billboards with ads, farm or animal stuff, or Chrjsjttan ads, in that order.

Cafe Risque in Florida had topless waitresses. I never got to eat there but I remember it from my late teens, seeing the billboards. They had another one called Cafe Lingerie, yep they wore lingerie. Loved the billboards as a growing teen.

My deepest sympathies, I have lost many fur babies over the years. Two in one week a day apart. The good news is the sting at the end is worth all the good times we have with them through out their life. All the good moments are worth it. Remember the happy and fun moments and time will lessen the sting.

Sorry about your cat, Aranna. On the plus side, kittens are awesome, and awaiting your rescue at the local humane society. They aren't your baby, but they are friends who help that loneliness of an empty house.

Spelling aside, I was a little bit off... though, depending on your accounting, I could be technically correct - sort of: see, these were the preponderance of billboards while traveling across the state.
I totally forgot all the billboards in the two towns at either side of the state.
On this side (my home), there are billboards for:
- retirement (mostly communities, but other things related to retirement as well)
- health/medical (care, education, substance, or suggestions)
- banking (a variety of things - and some overlap with retirement)
- restaurants (about six, give or take, all local places)
- lawyers (about four different firms, I think?)
- a smattering of other businesses (storage, cars, fill the billboard with your add, a half dozen other things)
- a few political suggestions (all very generic)
On the other side (my destination), there are billboards for:
- the beach
- everything you'd find or typically are expected to want to have on a beach
- a smattering of local businesses and requests to fill the billboard with your ad
- a few political things (all very generic)
Those are the rough order of how common they are (at least, as I recall it), now that I'm back home.
(I never said it was a long road trip.)
How is it that Florida, America's wang, has more wholesome billboards then Wisconsin, America's teet.
Probably because we get tons of tourists, and we try to make sure that tourists can bring their kids relatively comfortably.
But that's just a guess.
(It's certainly not because this state is more wholesome, let me tell you... and I like Florida!)

Roswell nonsense!
Fair warning before we start: enjoying Roswell means my slow journey to "stereotypical housewife" is complete!
So:
SEASON 1
Episode 1: Actually really awesome, and well done!
Episode 4: Very much so disagree with the "moral" involved - but it's relatively understandable
Episode 5: Needless drama~!
Episode 7: So awesome!
Episode 8: Needless drama~!
Episode 9: ... sigh. This reaction to a heat wave represents exactly zero people I know.
Episode 10: Needless drama~!
Episode 11: ... convenient that this particular kind of incident only occurred after the series stars. (Also, it makes it look like the protags have gotten extremely sloppy as teens.)
Episode 13: Johnathan Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakes~!
Episode 14: >.<
Episode 15: ... actually pretty daggum awesome.
Episode 16: Be warned, all: this is never how it happens ever.
Episode 17-19: >.<
Episode 20: Needless drama~!
Episode 21-22: Actually really awesome.
SEASON 2
Episode 1-2: "We couldn't get the actors back!" plus needless drama~! (But also strong and interesting set-up for "accurate misdirection," later.)
Episode 3: Compelling.
Episode 4: HILARIOUSLY AWESOME~!
Episode 5: ... wat. THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS.
Episode 6: Actually pretty awesome. ERROR: PRETTY BREATHY FOR A DEAD LADY, ISN'T SHE?!
Episode 7: Hokey Explanation. Very interesting episode. <spoiler> becomes more interesting for the first time, due to actions at the end.
Episode 8: ... wat. THAT'S JUST SILLY. (Still dramatic, though.)
Episode 9: ... >_<
Episode 10: Actually really sweet. I like it!
That's what I've got so far! Figured I'd share, in case people were desperate to know...
(I- I've fallen into a stereotype with this show. I guess stay-at-home dads are more similar to stay-at-home moms than many suspect...! In my defense, it's not technically a soap opera, and it technically falls under science fiction... even if nothing works that way... *cough*)

I live in Roswell I just cant watch that show. On a side note I grew up in Las Vegas so CSI Las Vegas is a nogo for me as well. I tried to watch it but the streets they used often run parallel or dont exist at all. About the only filming they even do in Vegas is second unit stuff that shows sky lines, iconic buildings/places and they move things around in the background. For exapmple I know when looking at Sunrose Mountain from a certain point in the valley i will not see the strip but its in the background anyway. I hate that stuff.
