Never having consumed a cornish pastry myself, I can only assume they are singing food, and "the genuine article" and "entirely handmade" are the hits. Thanks, Declan.
The Beer Nut's pronunciation is definitely closer than deckardcanine's. Pastie or pasty has a short A, and rhymes (more or less, depending on your dialect) with nasty, not with hasty. But deckardcanine is correct that a long A is used in the name of the stripper's accessories. See http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1255502
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.

Pasty (PAH-stee),not pastry.
No, it's PAY-stee, like the thing a stripper puts over her nipple.
WV: billya -- And she'll bill ya for it.
Even more foreign to my experience! Thanks for the headsup guys. I think I'll leave the mistake, adds a layer of ridiculous.
I wonder how much for a "lap dance?"
Oh, the left off the quotes on the big hit:"throughout the day" by the second billed group, Baked Fresh.
WV> hadauff. The Beer Nut wanted to bite bethany's 'hadauff' for a simple spelling gaffe.
