This trail will not magically take you home, homecoming is just its nickname. Don't get confused, the quotation marks are here to help you! Spotted by Mark in Oakville, Ontario.
Heh, if that's just its nickname, that means that otherwise the sign would just be labeled "Trail", which is not very helpful at all. Superfluous quotation marks are so amusing!
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.

Maybe they're referring to the great play "The Homecoming" by recent Nobel prizewinner Harold Pinter...
Um, "it's nickname"? On a blog that makes fun of punctuation errors?
It's happens!
oops. I'm human too. I fixed it.
Let's just be glad the sign doesn't say The Home "Coming" Trail. That road leads right to the Bunny Ranch.
Sam should also have caught the two comma splices in the commentary. Some of us still hold the semi-colon dear!
