Still on Photoblog Catch-up Week.
Spotted along the freeway in Los Angeles several months ago. I wonder if their lawyers are Wolfram and Hart?

Advertising? That’s in aisle 10a.
Photoblog Catch-up Week enters its second week! This Sav-on had an odd collection of items in one aisle:
I’m still trying to work out how an aisle can contain “Got milk?” 😕
Choo-Choo Sandwich? Auughhh!
There are some things that no self-respecting Something Positive reader wants to see, and this recipe is among them:
Poor Choo-Choo Bear! Disguising yourself as a pitcher is one thing, but being turned into a sandwich? Alas, such a sad, sad fate for everyone’s favorite amorphous kitty.
(At least the sandwich probably won’t be as pink as Slashdot’s OMG Ponies! theme.)

Klingon Honor Roll
You’ve all seen those bumper stickers that say things like, “My child was an honor student at XYZ school.” You’ve probably seen parodies like “My child can beat up your honor student.” But have you seen the Klingon version?
Sorry about the phone resolution: it reads, “My child has more honor than your child.” And yes, it’s in English.
(Yes, Photoblog catch-up week is still going.)
Don’t call ’em squares
Continuing Photoblog Catch-Up Week, here’s another great example of what happens when specialized jargon conflicts with general usage:
It doesn’t take much geometry knowledge to realize you can’t have a 7×9″ square—but in the context of crochet it makes perfect sense. If you take it literally, it’s right up there with non-organic food.
(Found in a Michael’s craft store.)
Street Guacamole
Photoblog Catch-up Week continues!
Last weekend we stopped at a nearby nursery to pick up some potting soil. We walked out with two tomatoes, one fuchsia, three herbs, a couple of pots, some bamboo… and the potting soil.
We parked in front of this sign. Yes, it was next to an avocado tree.
Yoda’s World
I’m officially declaring this week Photoblog Catch-Up Week, since I’ve got such a backlog of photos I’ve been meaning to post. First up:
Unfortunately this isn’t particularly near the Hobbit Center in Laguna Beach. It is, however, in Lake Forest, the city known for its Middle-Earth street names.
The pairing with the Plaza Suites sign does make me wonder, though: the last time I checked, accommodations on Dagobah weren’t particularly extravagant!
