Friending Crackers on Facebook

This whole Facebook thing is starting to get out of hand. Really, crackers want to be your friend (click to enbiggen)? Now I understand that Facebook has all sorts of "fan" pages, but for crackers? Apparently Keebler has an entire nation on Facebook. And reading the the posts, you can determine for yourself the kind of people who would friend a snack.

PLEASE Spit

W of A&W sent this to me.

This little sign is in the bathroom here at work. Apparently they have had some problems with... hell, I don't know... people spitting in the trash can, perhaps... or on the floors? Why wouldn't someone spit in the sink or toilet anyway?

Anyway, I got a kick out of it. To me it almost seemed like they were begging people to spit in the toilet... like it's going to bring good luck to the company or something. "Please!! For the love of GOD, spit in our toilet!!!!"

Luv Box

Really? A sandwich container called a "Luv Box"? There is no way that double entendre wasn't intended. There are sooo many ways of misusing this.

"I'm can't wait to take my luv box out at lunch!"
"Sometimes I like to be surprised by what's in my luv box."
"I love eating out of my luv box."
"Sweet, there's a sausage in my luv box today!"
"Sometimes I use my luv box to get tacos."

I could continue like this for some time, but I think you get the idea.

*Attention Drivers*

Here is another post graciously contributed by Griff.

This is truck driver code for "Ha, Ha. Just kidding. You don't have to sign crap! Just drive the stupid truck".

As I pointed out in "Or Just Steal It", I do love me some misused quotation marks. I wonder if this sign is implying that the drivers are supposed to have a romantic relationship with the bill of lading and then use ASL to spell the word "freight".

Good Eating Too…

What we have here is a very interesting product. It is T.V. (Texas Variety) brand "bait shrimp." I’m not much of a fisherman so I can’t comment on the product itself. What I can do, however, is direct your attention to the upper left corner of the package. "Good Eating Too..."??? Now I understand that one crustacean is pretty much the same as another and that additional product benefits are all the rage these days, but it just seems odd. The icing on the cake is where I found it…

Brown, But Hard Working

Yet another contribution from Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. I may have to start paying him to be a freelance journalist for What The Foto...

So I'm "occupied" after lunch today, and there aren't any magazines to read, and I can't poo without reading something, so I grab the toilet paper role and start reading the wrapper. That isn't weird at all, right? I like that fact that it is environmentally safe for the home and office, but my attention is drawn to the inset picture on the right side, which appears to graphically depict the purpose of this product. In fairness, I think it is supposed to depict someone wiping up a spill on a counter, but it sure doesn't look that way. I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to use this product without a pictorial demonstration. And also, it is "green, but hard working." I understand the benefit to bragging about being environmentally sound, but I would avoid the use of the word "green" for this product. And how is it hard working. I'm the one doing the work.

Louis Armstrong: Scatology Instructor

Momosan stumbled across this sight in a downtown shop window. While appears to be an odd subject for a book, it becomes even stranger when you realize that this is NOT a vintage book. It was published less than a year ago. So now we have a book with a bizarre subject that was published about 4 decades too late to be timely. Wait, it gets better! Here is the description from the publisher's website: "In a CRACKITY-SNAPPITY-POPPITY-POP bubblegum dream, a young girl learns to scat from the master himself, Louis Armstrong!" Okaaaaayyy...

I can’t think of a better gift for a 5-to-9-year-old child. Christmas is in the bag this year!

(Sorry for those of you who were hoping for a poop joke. This blog is way too highbrow to sink to that level.)

Precious Cheese

Just a picture of an Asian man wearing a t-shirt that says "Precious Cheese." I don't think that any additional comments are necessary. Click to enbiggen.

Different Tax Brackets

I went out to lunch the other day with a friend, and lo the menu had a bounty of choices, we ended up ordering the same thing. When the bills came, we were presented with this (click to enbiggen): my tax was one penny more than his. Now I don't know if they called the IRS to determine my annual wages (I not have an accountant or they would have called them first) or just assumed my affluence from my garish attire (those who know me personally just chuckled), but they definitely assumed that I needed to pay slightly more in taxes than my companion. Just another example of the Man sticking it to me (and not in that way, Dr. Mac).

My Kingdom for a Decimal Point

Yet another submission from Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq.

Not the greatest submission ever, but it made me do a lot of math. So I'm watching the news at lunch and see a commercial for a local hotel, and it pans to their lovely pool. Something stuck out that made me back up the DVR and look again. The pool is 3ft.09M deep. Huh First, lets pick a unit and go with it. Second, does the period go to abbreviate feet, or to indicate .09. If so, then the pool is either 3 ft. or 09 M deep. 9 Meters equals 29.5275521 feet. Can't be that. Maybe it is .09 meters - nope, that would only be 3.54330708 inches. I think it is supposed to be 0.9 meters, which would be a pretty close conversion to 3 feet. Seems like an important place to do your math correctly though.
