Stop Sign Codons for Protein Genesis

Street signs are a special kind of vexilloid.  Although they are not made of fabric they convey information in a manner like a flag.  Street signs are even held of the ground like flags.  Instead of poles, they have a standard type big boy erector set kind of 'pole.'

Perhaps the most famous kind of street sign is the stop sign.  Its unique eight sided octagonal shape is distinguished.  In the image above the stop sign motif is combined with bioalchemy.  Bioalchemy is the cool term for biochemistry.

The three standard stop codons are made into street signs: UGA, UAA, and UAG.  Also a mnemonic is added.  UGA's mnemonic is U Get Ata'here.  UAA's mnemonic is U Are Ata'here.  And finally, UAG's is U Are Gone.

Also note the start codon for proteins is AUG, which is like saying "Aye You Guys!"  There is a dated saying like this with PBS's Television Workshop from the late 1970s.  More famously from the Goonies, this was Sloth's catch phrase...sort of.  I think he said Hey but were changing it to Aey, it's a mulligan.
