That's Just Super

Sorry for the hiatus, I was out of the country.  Today's post comes from our newest field correspondent, LorMe.  Click the picture if you would like to enbiggen.

This sign is in front of a tiny bar that is at the intersection of two rural highways.  Aside from the letter spacing which is trying its hardest to change the meaning (I'm certain they wanted people to "bring" a dish, not "bang" one), the whole concept is just bizarre.  How many potlucks at a bar have you been to?  It's just like going over to a friend's place to watch the big game, except you have to pay for the beer.  And be sure to come out for karaoke, just bring your own CDs, microphone, speakers...

Won't Someone Think Of The Children

He writes "we teach your kids about the continent of reverse Africa or perhaps south America with a back scrotum."

Seriously, how difficult would it be to make the world look more like the world.  The apple looks like an apple. The globe stand looks like a globe stand.  The sole reason this item exists is for the education of children.  Put a bit more effort into making it actually educational.

Dear Lord, Woman, What Happened To You In Prison?

Field correspondent, ExplodyBones, snapped this pic and sent it to me.

Any chef will take a look at this and say "oh, that's used get juice out of citrus fruit" but I don't think that's the whole story here.  Take a gander at the pained look and clinched-tooth smile on Martha's face.  And there's the phrase "Why you'll love Martha's WOOD REAMER".  Why, indeed?

Price Check On Aisle 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11 And 14

This is at a small shopping plaza in Myrtle Beach, S.C. I honestly don't know if the "price" signs are for the same store or for three competing stores. If it's just one store, it's suffering from a major identity crisis. If they are three different stores, perhaps the most expensive one could brand itself as the Nieman-Marcus of discount stores.

Not An Ad For The Next Magic Mike Movie

I saw this, uh, "marketing attempt" a couple weeks ago.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

Nothing will bring in the shopping masses like shouting "HARD WOOD SOFT PRICES" at them.  I get it: that is supposed to be a play on words.  And I guess it is but it's one that a pre-teenage boy would come up with.  I just wish they would have continued with the metaphor and hired a sign spinner in a G-string with that phrase on it.  That would have moved some wood.

What? Just... What???

Today's submission was given to me by field correspondent Dr. Nurse without any context.  Do click the picture to enbiggen.

The two things I am fairly sure about with this is it is from Taiwan and I think it is a food product.  Other than those, I have no idea what is going on here.  It calls itself "Snow Lovers Chocolate Corn Roll".  We receive assurance from a sticker placed on the upper right of the package that it is fully baked.  What really throws me is the phrase in the baby-poop-brown circle that reads "Grain Vegetarian Meat Floss".  So, if you want a foodstuff that promises to fulfill nearly every course of a meal, I guess this is your best option.

Seems Like Something One Would Remember

I got my oil change the other day and took advantage of their shuttle service.  I hoped in the front seat and, while waiting for the driver, glanced at the radio.  This is what I saw.  Click to enbiggen.

For my younger readers, The Delfonics was an R&B group in the 1960s and 70s.  One of their big hits was "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)".  Feel free to watch it here.  Now, I know there are a limited number of characters that can be displayed on radios such as this but this is just a bit too perfect.   It's almost an R&B groupie's inner dialog:  "Hmmm, I think I remember something about that.  Did I?..."

Pandora's Switch

We are graced with another submission from field correspondent Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq.

You're crazy enough to gamble with all of our lives, aren't you?  Don't mess with forces you don't understand.  C'mon, man, let's be rational here.  It's just not worth it.  Stop reaching toward it.  Just slowly lower your hand.

I mean it, just stop!

DON'T DO IT!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Medication Needed

I was in a national pharmacy chain the other day when I caught sight of this.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

That, my friends, is a pill case that conveniently attaches to the audio jack of your cell phone.  The packaging claims that is will make travel easier.  Let's check into to claim.  With this fine piece on engineering stuck on your phone, would you be able to put it in your:
 - pocket? (no)
 - phone case? (no)
 - purse? (maybe, but I highly doubt it would stay attached)
 - suitcase? (absolutely, but what would be the point)

I think the the best use of this product would be to fool people into thinking you can take credit cards.

I had to slice an onion in half and return it to produce because I had exactly 12 items.
