I knew a girl in high school who's name was "Kate E. LastName", but she was called "Katie". That worked for her though. If he wanted to be "Robert-ee", he could have just been "Bobby". Or maybe he's like a Robert. Maybe instead of "Robert-ee" he should be "Robert-ish".
I was going to contribute the "Robert E. Lee" possibility, but I think the most likely absolving circumstance would be that you're supposed to ask for "Robert E." when you call the number.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Wow, that one freakes me out!
Maybe he just wants people to call him Robert E.
Maybe they're quoting someone who called him "Robert E." making the quotes necessary.
this is great, as is the idea for the blog! you need to get a picture of someone doing quotation marks with their fingers while saying "i do."
I wonder if his given name is something like Bud or Skip, and his nickname is "Robert E." Which the contrarian in me can't help but appreciate.
(Pardon the repetition. Somehow I first put this comment on the wrong post.)
It boggles my mind how they even thought that was correct to produce the sign in the first place...
Perhaps they want to invoke Robert E. Lee?

Hilarious. I love this one. The ol' so-called Robert E.
This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Ever.
