Jessica and friends took this photo at a tourist destination outside Moab, Utah. That is some really excellent wrong punctuation, in that it would have been dumb if it had been a correctly placed apostrophe, but now it's just incomprehensible.
awesome! we should begin a quest for the largest unnecessary quotation marks in the world. or maybe it could be carved into the moon, chairface chippendale-style.
The mark is awesome, but so too is the arrow pointing to the hole. So is a hole in a rock like a cave or something? I don't quite get the attraction. Awesome entry.
I've driven by that "hole" n" the so-called "rock" a few times. It's not nearly as cool as you might think based on the effort required to maintain a large painted "sign" like that.
Basically, it's a house built into the side of the mountain, which is definitely a lot of effort but probably shouldn't be a huge tourist attraction. http://theholeintherock.com/
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.

So is this the largest unnecessary quotation mark to appear on this blog so far?
But is it even a quotation mark? It looks more like an umlaut to me…
Heavy metal tourist trap?

Maybe the other set of quotation marks fell into the "hole."
@kalim -- Thanks for the link. I love how "deep french fryer" is listed among the "attractions." Good grief. And a bathtub?
