A Goo Place to Shop

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Kelson

In case you need more goo for your home…

(I wonder if they have another store for Office Goo.)

It’s beginning to look a lot like…medieval weaponry?

I’ve seen dangerous-looking Christmas decorations at the mall before, but at least those looked like…well, Christmas decorations. This spiked ball looks like something you’d find at the end of a mace, or maybe on the end of a chain for some knight to swing around.

Maybe the order called for a “morning star” and someone got confused?

Out of Orders

ORDERS

Someone went through and scraped off all the Bs from the windows at the local ex-Borders.

Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart (Photo)

Insert obligatory Army of Darkness reference here. I wonder if their “always fresh” guarantee applies to boom sticks… (Found in Torrance, California.)

On a vaguely related note, Incredible Cafe is no more. It’s now Four Brothers Burger Grill. I wonder where they came up with that naming scheme.

It’s Super!

SUPER 8-D

Found this photo I took back when Super 8 was in theaters. It’s funny how, when you get used to emoticons, they just kind of insist on being read.

This one’s right up there with Windows XP.

It had better be!

Just a few miles away from Incredible Cafe.

I wonder if they have a rivalry of sorts?

And I can’t help but imagine a third competing restaurant called Incredibly Fantastic Cafe…and another called Fantastically Incredible Cafe…

For the record: I ate there and had a grilled ham & cheese sandwich with seasoned fries, and it was good enough but nothing special. The place gave me the impression that someone had bought a Carl’s Jr. and turned it into something more like a Denny’s. Fantastic Cafe (not Incredible Cafe) appears to be a local chain in the South Bay area.

Noisy are the Ori

I wonder if we should call  Stargate SG1 about this?

(Trying to dry out the carpet after the plumbing leak soaked it.)

Looking “Up”

Posted on August 4, 2011 by Kelson

I spotted this sign after cresting a hill and laughed so hard I knew I had to turn around and come back to take a picture.
