Okay, I’m obsessed with MARTA. And this wasn’t even a subway error! This is the third time the cafeteria at my workplace has served this mysterious dish. Sorry for the quality; I photographed sneakily!
Sigh.

So I was back in the grocery store, and I saw this. Flashback to the post that started it all… and, I mean, I guess it’s an improvement over “boucher string,” right? At least they’re open to criticism.
…and today’s creepy antidote.

I know I’m tired on the way home, but I don’t think my fatigue was completely responsible for my finding this ad deeply creepy yesterday. Brought to you by the same people who declare that “its a wrap,” this ad implies a promise of Growth. In fact, it claims that the lovely producers have experienced (or produced?) 60 years of Growth. Are they threatening to increase exponentially in size like the Blob and take over the world, creating a punctuation-free, randomly-capitalizing world regime? Can they be stopped?
Surprisingly amusing

Perhaps I’m supposing that the commas-as-ellipsis is the attempt of a frustrated fellow punctuation-ophile who wants to right the wrongs of missing commas all over the world, but for some reason, this one brings me joy.
P.S. Extra points: is there a word for “punctuation-ophile”? A quick google doesn’t turn one up.
Aww, Ortho cares!

Rayanne found this one online. Obviously, I get the missing apostrophe — but I’m also totally happy about the random assertion that Ortho cares!

I have decided that, although I’ve already shared this picture with pretty much everybody I know, I have to post it here. It deserves a wider internet audience (which I am going to pretend this blog has).
[Edit: Photo credit to Rayanne, who valiantly took my camera out of my purse, pointed it where I told her to point it, and took this excellent photo. 😛 ]
More MARTA deliciousness…

I can only hope that the damage to this poster was wrought by a similarly-enraged fan of the apostrophe.

This particular object was found hanging in a roller-skating rink that didn’t seem to be frequented by all that many teens. It doesn’t contain errors so much as it just generated a lot of “Whuh?” among my friends. Therefore: a new RPB category!
We had some debate about which was our favorite; your comments welcome.
It’s MARTA!

I have been bugged by this for weeks, since I started commuting every day on Atlanta’s charming underground system. Then some friends and I happened upon a train that had clearly also transported a fellow sufferer.
To our collective relief, we discovered on a second train that somebody had already convinced the Powers That Be to address the issue.
Now if they could just keep the trains from breaking down…
I’m so confused

Rayanne says she’d been saving this glass for me for months.
If only the producers had taken anything like that much time to copyedit…
