Katherine poetically wrote to me, "This sign takes my notions of reality and of the proper use of quotation marks and sends them twisting and swirling like so much soft-serve ice cream."
Well a lot of "soft serve" can't technically be called "ice cream", at least not under Canadian law because of the lower fat content. Also I believe Canada has stricter rules on adding filers to "ice cream" which is why a lot of brands call things "frozen dessert" or similar
McDonald's for example serves "ice milk" which is why a hot fudge sundae has less calories and sugar than a bran muffin.
I can't find the Canadian law, but in the US to be "ice cream" it has to have 10% milk fat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream#United_States
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.
