With all this talk about air-traffic control and furloughs and national parks and F-35s, there’s a bunch of stuff around here that we’d like to sequester instead:

-That pedestrian crossing sign at the Pearl Street/Ross Avenue intersection that flashes “72, 71, 70…” then an immediate orange hand when you’re a quarter of the way across the street. SEQUESTERED.

– The 35 mile-per-hour speed trap limit on the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. SEQUESTERED.

– Mixologists. Do you have liquor? A glass? Insert A into B. I will pay you for it. SEQUESTERED.

Calling science “The Boogeyman.” SEQUESTERED.

– SMU frats, because man! those have been a real fun time lately haven’t they? SEQUESTERED.

– Secession.  SEQUESTERED. (Which sounds like some kind of Rush cover band, or maybe a Georgetown a-cappella group.)

– The words foodie, artisan, and hipster. None of those mean anything. SEQUESTERED.

– Saying things are always bigger in Texas. SEQUESTERED.

Ice skating rinks in parks that are doing awesome on their own. SEQUESTERED.

The eye of Sauron. SEQUESTERED.

Feel free to add your own.
