Seriously… I got nothing other than “Blech.”
Trough break!

Katie Z. submits this photo from a local restaurant, noting:
We’ve been here several times but had never noticed the sign. The restaurant is high-end enough that I’m pretty sure they don’t intend to associate themselves with a barnyard.
Thanks, Katie!
My head asplode.

Either Wal-Mart is way, way more hip than I ever thought, or something went wrong here.
Actually, you know, even if they were going for “Stylin’ Gel” (which: why would they do that??) this is wrong. WAL-MART FAIL.
To the pain!

In his second consecutive submission, Davery brings the angst:
Here’s another photo I took AT MY SCHOOL! Now we know when “Defer payment’s” are due. It hurts, Alden. It hurts!
That is truly beautiful. It’s my favorite Southernism — the dropping of the “ed” — along with the explicit abuse of an apostrophe. Gold star!
How now, cooked shrimp?

Fellow cynic and nit-picker Davery notes,
Here’s something that bugs me to no end. The “yea/yeah/yay” misspelling. Unless they meant “Yea, shrimp!” and “Nay, halibut!”
Forsooth, Davery!
Nice hours if you can get ’em

Also, just FYI, I am out of things to post. You want more posts? Send more things!
Actually, we took out a policy on you…

Thank you very much for this delightful Friday homophone, Childhood Friend Katie!

Kacia found this punctuation travesty in a small restaurant in Wisconsin, on an ad for a business that does fireworks displays.
There has to be a logic here. Let’s see. Oh, you use apostrophes to pluralize! No, can’t be that, because “weddings” and “graduations” are plural. Is it a rule that you have to use an apostrophe after a y to pluralize? Nope, can’t be that, because “birthdays” has no apostrophe.
I give up! Thanks, Kacia!
