I have a "game" to play...


reader John posted this one in a comment. I'm not sure if the quotations signify a title here, and if that is grammatically kosher. However, I think we can all agree that the name of the coming store should be emphasized by a larger size, not by punctuation. Maybe the ineffectiveness of this sign is the reason the place closed down.

Maybe the place actually is entirely round - no corners at all! hence the quotation marks.... OR maybe the "games" are actually work. Like, hey kids, try this fun "game" called data entry!

(thanks John)

I don't really get this one


haha, just kidding, it takes other change too. Or something. Found in an arcade in Santa Monica (where Jim beat me in air hockey).

more food you "might" want to eat


thanks to frequent contributor Hailey who found this in a Great Wraps in San Antonio. I'm disappointed she didn't order it using air quotes.

reader maureen documents an additional case here. I suspect these quotation marks are meaningful, but it is still strange.
