Fake safety tips

Maybe these are the song titles for special songs about safety tips. Thanks to Gary who runs an apostrophe blog.

"Free"

I guess nothing is really free. Not even free samples. Thanks Kody.

exclamation points!

I am so distracted by the various amusing qualities of this sign that I can't even tell if the quotation marks are unnecessary or not. I mean, it's a vending machine that is not, in fact, vending, so..... Thanks Timothy.

Also, Bill Cokas, contributor to the "Book" and friend of the blog, wants you to know his novel Battle Axe is free for your Kindle today. Give it a read!

"Only today"

I guess this tshirt deal is available all the time. Thanks Sohan.

"3 Loonies"

This canadian carwash has some serious codewords going. And some of those codes are about the greatest nickname of any currency. Thanks Amy.

"All you can" eat

Well, if one thing is undoubtable, it's that you are being asked to eat. Thanks Gretchen.

"Parisian" "restaurant"

Georg spotted this in Paris. As he points out, every word, even the prices, is in quotation marks. Well done, Paris.

My NYC finds

After years of a bunch of you people sending me quotation marks from NYC, I visited the place myself last week, and came back with these two examples from the same place, which apparently has a terribly un-special "breakfast" and whose soups are made by machines.

In other news, New York is fun, I hope to return some time the weather is more pleasant.

"reserved" parking

You can tell how "serious" these folks are about the parking situation. Thanks Nathan.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I was on vacation and didn't feel like posting.

Under "new" Management

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Thanks Milly and Caleb.
