Missing Your Kid? Bring Your Shovel.

Today's entry comes from our newest field correspondent Lando.  She saw this on vacation and sent it my way.

Apparently children make excellent fertilizer.  Mayhap Rick Moranis has been there and miniaturized them.  Or perhaps they are so lost that they don't even appear on camera.  In any case, one might reconsider bringing children anywhere near that tiny garden.

Editor's note:  I've been asked about the third option enough that I have to explain it.  It's a reference to The Lost Boys, the 80s movie staring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, the Coreys and various other heartthrobs.  It's about children who are vampires, which do not appear in mirrors or pictures. 

This Sign Is Not Doing Its Job

The primary purpose of installing a sign is to inform.  It may also attempt persuade, but that happens after getting the information across.  This sign is doing nothing causing confusion and taking up space.  Even knowing the fact the "BLOOMERS" is the name of the business doesn't help.  What is up with half of the sign being blank?  What's up with black lettering (the last 'G' is literally hanging off the sign)?  Why must this sign exist?

I'm still here.  It's been a hell of a year but I'm still here.  And I'm going to do my damnedest to get back into posting on a regular basis.  That being said, one of our most prolific field correspondents, Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq., captured this and sent it my way.  Hey, look a that, you click on the picture to enbiggen.

There are so many things wrong with this sign.  First, who goes to the trouble of titling a sign 'untitled' - This isn't like the Metallica Black Album - you could just leave it blank.  And they appear to think that I don't know how to use the word 'hello' - thanks for suggesting that.  Maybe they should put a blender out there for customer service like that Ally Bank commercial.
