Next Week: Navel Lint Sculptors

I wasn't intending to do a series on the Expo Center reader board but Outlaw send me a second one.

He writes:  Has the expo center really run out of events that they have to host?  The Aladdin lamp collectors and now this?

Now, I understand that caring for the elderly is a serious and important responsibility and when they are frail it is even more difficult prospect.  The people who devote their lives to that deserve everyone's respect and admiration.

But, come on,  yelling "WELCOME FRAIL ELDERLY CONFERENCE" is absolutely going to get some attention here.

Jafar Would Be Simply Giddy

Regular contributor, Outlaw, snapped this picture and sent it my way.


He writes: So this is happening.  I bet it's a bunch of nerdy men wearing those little shoes with the curled up toes, baggy PJ bottoms and doing their best Genie impressions in the voice of Robin Williams.

I think it looks a bit roomy to me.  If I recall correctly, your average genie only needs an itty bitty living space.

Just Like With Sex, Apologize First

I've driven past this hotel chain's sign more times than I can count but I finally read it the other day.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


It's not a great comfort when a hotel has a permanent sign that basically says, "We're going to screw up but, don't worry,  we'll try to fix it."  What mottoes did they pass on?  Mayhap I shall hypothesize:
 - "Friendliest Bedbugs In Town!"
 - "All Rooms Now Include Doors (for a reasonable up-charge)"
 - "Don't Worry, We Fired That Guy"

And for the inevitable questions, no I do not know what an "AIK" is and why you can get unlimited WiFi with one.

The Best Part Of Waking Up Is Africa In Your Cup

This is bag of coffee that my boss bought off the interwebs.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


That line right below the name, Big Bang (heh!), reads "Brilliant Blend with Natural Ethiopia".  Let me reiterate: WITH Ethiopia.  I'm not sure how any product can contain a country, natural or otherwise, other than literally putting soil in it.  Don't get me wrong, it's very good coffee.  I'm just pleased that they put the two main ingredients on the front of the package.
