That one-sided, open-ended QM...sigh. What about the hyphenated deli-sandwich? A deli sandwich -- okay. A deli-sandwich looks like a delicatessen and sandwich have merged into one creation. Well, I'm not there. Maybe they have.
I think that they incorrectly used double quotes, when they wanted to use a single quote to use the more colloquial 'style instead of es-style, as in "You have such ess-tyle, that it invades my ess-pace."
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.

This buffalo is too sexy for its close quote.
And we all can agree that sexy IS a style. Or as the buffalo would have you say it, "style.

DON'T try to tag your urls without a close quote!! It can be deadly.
It's actually not a quotation mark. It's perspiration coming off the S to indicate the super-spiciness of the sandwiches.
Love it, Ruth!
