Formless protoplasm able to mock and reflect all forms and organs and processes - viscous agglutinations of bubbling cells - rubbery fifteen-foot spheroids infinitely plastic and ductile - slaves of suggestion, builders of cities - more and more sullen, more and more intelligent, more and more amphibious, more and more imitative! Great God! What madness made even those blasphemous Old Ones willing to use and carve such things?

Ralph Nader’s favorite.

I don’t think National Airport is the (only) reason why drones are prohibited here – it’s D.C. itself. There’s another airport within a few hundred yards from this sign, but it doesn’t say anything about that.

And the usual suspects.
