Stranger than Borat?

Posted on December 26, 2006
by Kelson

Sign: Stranger Than - Borat - The Queen

Though of all the things I’ve heard Borat called, “queen” isn’t one of them.

Not quite botanical

Posted on November 12, 2006
by Kelson

Attended a friend’s wedding last weekend, held at the Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas (north of San Diego).

One constant feature of botanical gardens the world over is the collection of placards identifying each type of tree, shrub, or other plant. In the walled garden where the ceremony was held, they took it a step further:

Placard: Artificial Grass.  There is a lot of traffic in this shady area and grass doesn't grow well.  Artificial turf is a good solution that saves water, fertilizer, and labor.

Quantum Home

Sign: Quantum Home Tour

The only problem is, you can’t be absolutely certain of where the home is and what direction it’s going at the same time.

Flip-Floppers, all of ’em!

Spotted on a school marquee:

Sign: Congratulations!  You have earned Flip Flop Fridays!

Gee, I hope none of them ever runs for office. Some opposing PAC group will dig this up as evidence of constant flip-flopping!

The Call of the Wild Noodle

Posted on October 22, 2006

Sign: Wild Noodles

The name of this restaurant reminds me of two things:

  1. A “Get Fuzzy” comic strip in which Bucky Katt proclaims that tofu tastes better in the wild. (Rob had to tell him it was an animal to get him to eat it, and of course Bucky had to boast about his hunting prowess.)
  2. The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest April Fool’s broadcast.

In Your Office

Posted on October 7, 2006
by Kelson

A long row of furniture stores sits in the city of Lake Forest, on a frontage road alongside the 5 freeway. Among them is this:

Storefront with a sign saying In Your Office: Home and Office Furniture

I can just see the exchange at the workplace:

“Nice chair! Where’d you get it?”
“In your office.”
“Hey! What’s the big idea!”

Pirates ’n’ Prada

Posted on September 25, 2006
by Kelson

Marquee: Barnyard Pirates Accepted

Wow, they’ll take anyone in that crew!

Marquee: Beerfest Wears Prada

Somehow, I’m not convinced!

The following movies were not harmed in the making of this blog post: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Beerfest, The Devil Wears Prada, and Barnyard.
