Here's a sign at a new establishment in town that could just as easily be posted on the grammar gripes thread. I've been tempted to stop by and meet Taco in person. Nice place he has there!  |

Wandering through Edinburgh on Saturday, I saw this sign at a farmers' market.  |

Yikes.  In the U.S. that sign would cause traffic accidents! |

I didn't notice that, just searched for an image. It does make it look suspicious.
BUT, yes...it is real.
Go to 1625 E Broadway St, Farmington, NM
I know this is a few months old, but I had to check when I read this... Copy/paste the address mcblanchfield provided into http://maps.bing.com and then go to Bird's eye view. Turn off labels and zoom in as close as it will let you. You can see both signs on opposite sides of the parking lot entrance.   |

A friend sent me this sign from a Mexican grocery store. I wonder how much powdered oats they managed to sell?  |

OK, I'll ask. I'm secure in my masculinity. What the blazes is a fairy penguin?
Brass Man, you da man! You made me laugh, because I had the same thought. Meb |

I wish we'd been able to photograph it, but Austin has several streets that are "1/2"s. 48th 1/2 street, etc. The first time we saw one we nearly drove into the sign, we were laughing so hard. Keep Austin weird, indeed.

Now that I think about it, the deal with that sign above is not obvious. Someone left the "o" off "cacao," that's all. Big difference; huge!  |

 Sign on the Alaska Pipeline. For more Alaska stuff, see the thread "Ice Road Claw" in Not Quite Kindle. |

 More Alaska stuff. They had a similar sign on the lady's restroom, but I figured I was living dangerously enough by snapping pictures near the men's restroom.... |

lol nice. I remember when I was a kid there was this little house on some obscure backroad in south-east Tennessee with a large wooden sign hung by the road from a tree. I can't remember the words exactly but it was a rhyme/poem about someone running over the guys dog and how they felt about it. I wonder if that sign is still there..

 This weekend some old World War II planes visited Oklahoma City, and you could tour them on the ground, and (if you were willing to shell out the dinero) fly in them. Saw this sign while I was there. WWII bomber photos will go in their own thread later. |
