How to own traffic stops. A very basic lesson.

Before we begin this lesson check out this lovely music video courtesty of Ace of Base:

This song is 90's classic and eventhough it isn't really about traffic signs it still works here.

Some people think they are too cool to stop at stop signs....

.... this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine so I thought that I would quickly teach you all how to own stop signs that way you will look forward to stoping.

Tapanga Malanga presents, How to Own Stop Signs.

Option One: If you notice that there are no other cars around at a stop put your car in park. Then announce to your passenger that there is a Chinese Fire Drill taking place. Exit the drivers side so that the passanger can take over at the wheel. Once you both are safely buckled remove the park brake and countinue on.

Option Two: Show off your knowledge of music. Before departing from your start point inform passangers of a fun music fact stop sign game. At each stop sign passangers are to name a song that features the word stop or sign. (Examples, Stop In The Name of Love, Stop Me, Stop and Stare, Signed, Sealed, Delievered, etc.) The trick is that once a stop or sign song is named you must name another song by the artist and another and another until the next stop sign. No winners or losers just good clean fun.

Option Three: Strike a pose. Treat each stop like a fashion shoot. Pretend that onlookers and neighboring cars are photographers and act out Madonna's Vogue video.

Know of any other stop sign games, or want to make one up! Feel free to share!!

And remember, keep owning people!
