Sarong and Winding Road

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Sorry.  I saw this in Newport, OR this past Christmas Eve, down the street from the Christmas sea lions.

For those who don’t know (I sure didn’t), a sarong is a cloth that you tie around your waist and wear as a skirt.  They even have mini sarongs for those who like to flash their ginnies at people.  Hence we have this beast:

Nice hanging quotes, kiddo

Once again, I have trumped Flinging Dust.

Spanish for “To Donate”

I’ve actually been to this church. It was boring.

Cheesiness aside, what’s going on here? Do you use donar to locate enemy vessels by sending out dound waves?

Squid Graffiti

I saw this AWESOME EM EFFING graffiti on Capitol Hill in Seattle.

This was probably done to lure PZ Myers up here.

Give Ants and Rats a Chance

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

On the way to dinner on Friday night, I passed a pair of signs that were so amazing that I had to turn around to get pictures of them.

I can take this two ways. At first I thought that if you were actually trying to get rid of rats and ants, you shouldn’t go to this place. You’ll end up with more rats and ants than you can handle!

But it has occurred to me that maybe they really do want to rid the world of pests, and these signs are taunting them. “Come on in, rats and ants! Come relax and have a beer! Not!!!”

Pets Required?

The other day I stopped at a gas station to purchase a nutritious energy drink. I was presented with this sign as I walked in:

Thankfully, they let me buy my drink even though I had no animals with me.

Alternate punchline: Thankfully, they let me buy my drink even though I was wearing a shirt (only one though…does that even count?) and shoes.

Actually, Fish Do Walk

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

I saw this license plate thing the other day in the Wal-Mart parking lot:

What a dumb thing to put on a Creationist license plate thing. I think license plate things and bumper stickers, etc., are almost all dumb no matter what they say, but this one wins the Willful Ignorance Award. It’s hilarious that it has the little upside down Darwin fish at the bottom. I guess that was the final death blow to the theory of evolution AM I RIGHT PEOPLE!!

Except fish do walk.

Now I know Creationists aren’t famous for doing their homework, but come on. It’s a walking catfish. It walks. It’s a fish. Science wins.

And that’s just one example of a fish that walks. So if you’re going to make a Creationist bumper sticker or license plate thing, make one that gives a valid criticism of evolution. Oh wait, right.

Embarassing Me and Insulting Them

Friday, February 15th, 2008

So I was doing some grocery shopping in lovely White Center when I noticed the letterboard outside of Walgreens:

Yeah. Raisin Brain. Ok, right. It’s a popular dessert in India, usually eaten after a feast of snake surprise. It’s more food than those people eat in a week!

A week later, when I thought I was safe, I happened upon this gem at the same Walgreens:

What day again? Wensday? Wendesday? What?

I really hope this keeps up!

Contents Not Included

So I noticed this keychain digital camera in the grocery store the other day.

I found it very tiny and cute, so I picked it up and inspected the box, which revealed a shocking revelation:

The package contains 1 AAA battery, but it’s not included! How does something like this happen exactly? Steven Wright would be livid.
