My friend Kricket sent me this one, though her sister Rene took the photo out the window of a moving car. I guess a Westward "ho" is better than an Eastward one?
Ha, "westward, ho!" actually is a quote. The quotation marks should be around both words. It's the rallying cry for westward expansion from a hundred years ago. The "Ho" is not the shortened version of whore in modern slang, but the "ho" of "Land, Ho!"
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.

Greatest hits! Greatest hits!
Is this in Indiana? I think I've seen this before!
I don't want a ho with fleas!
Is this in Gnawbone, Indiana? I drove by it on Thursday, and almost took a photo for you!
Gnawbone, Indiana? I want to see that on a sign.

@Andrew--ummmm, we know what the "Ho" part was supposed to mean. You are totally missing the "point" of this "blog".
@deckardcanine--LOL!
Yeah -- Gnaw Bone (apparently a corruption of Narbonne, France) is on Rt 46 between Bloomington and Columbus, IN.
The hos travelling from east to west need a place to rest and do business in the middle.
Westward Ho! is a village in Devon, UK. I believe it got its name from the title of a book.
