Sandwichman,
Is that you in the pic? I thought you had a beard.
And what are you doing showing off some guy who wants a "full-time job" when we know you advocate everybody cutting back their hours?
Not me. Well, the guy is unemployed and he's carrying a sandwich board. The whole "sandwichman" theme posits the s-man as an avatar of unemployment (see Susan Buck-Morss, "The Flaneur, the Sandwichman and the Whore" and James Rollerston "The Truth of Unemployment: Walter Benjamin Reads His Own Times."
