In Arlington Cemetary.

wow, I was so sure there was going to be a penis in that picture...

I wouldn't just post it on the image board all willy-nilly.

(Heh.)

misspellings on signs

I don't have a picture, but there used to be a place called MATTRESS QEEN, labelled that way on both huge, signs, they fixed it though

[das kranke Tier]

Oh, Orlando, how I sort of miss you.

I can proudly say that I've sat in that place leafing through porn for 2 1/2 hours while a friend of mine got inked!

Again no pix, but there's a skanky market near my old house in Tucson called ROY'S ARIZONA HARMACY. Truth in advertising, as it was run by old grifters who sold my friend stuff with weevils in it and attempted to short change another friend.

There's a laundromat in Oberlin that calls itself LAUNDRAMAT.

And there's a sign -- I think maybe on Western Ave. in Chicago, but I can't remember right now -- that should say LICENSE, but when it is dark out all it says is LICE. Ha ha!

Until about a year ago, there was an Indian restaurant on South Great George's Street in Dublin called Nagina Tandoori, but its sign was positioned in such a way that, if approached from the south, the first down stroke of the capital N was blocked by the neighbouring shopfront, turning it into a capital V.

It's not called Nagina Tandoori any more.

Auckland is the king place of misspelled signs. I started to wonder if it was just one signmaker, stuffing it up for everyone. By my apartment there was "The Blue Caspian- pizzeria and medtranean food"

when i was 9 or so, there was a laundromat near my house with a sign that said "WALNUT HILL LAUNDERAMA". and as a kid, i was all "where's the t on the end? they've got to know it's missing!" and then one day i said that to my dad, and he said "that's not how you spell 'laundromat' anyway. i think it's supposed to be 'launder-RAMA'!" and at that instant, i realized that he was right, that WAS what it was supposed to be. but for at least a year, i thought this place had catastrophically misspelled their sign. and then maybe a year later, they became "WALNUT HILL LAUNDER CENTER", so i'm guessing someone in a management position finally figured out that their attempt at a catchy name just looked like a misspelling and decided to change it.

I don't know if it's a chain or something, but in southern Maine I drove by this tanning place called TAN-FASTIC! As my friend David commented "well, they just fucked that ALL up."

[jebreject]

there's a place called tan-fastic in the town i grew up in

There's a place in Muncie, Indiana, that has a sign saying "family dinning." Of course, this may not be a misspelling, but I did not notice any particularly loud sounds emanating from there.

Lowell, Mass.



The Bronx.



This sign tickled my fancy too. Warrnambool is a town of about 32 000 people, 4 hours from Melbourne, Oztraya. Their phone shop has illusions of diplomatic grandeur.

I know that I post way too many photos of myself and my family in this thread and I really need to cut it out.  I have one more though that I need to share with you because, well, you see my kids got me this t-shirt for my birthday and it is a t-shirt of such overwhelming awesomeness that you all need to see it.  I think it could serve as a sort of unofficial LPTJ shirt in a way.  Anyway, here it is



OK and one more of Max too, 'cause Mindy had her friend cut his hair into a faux-hawk for some reason but it works on him and I just took this picture and it is my favorite picture of him ever.

No you don't! 

[heather marie]

Jim, you and your family are awesome, so don't ever stop posting pics of them.

[Augo]

Jim I  your family.

[elpollodiablo]

Jim did you notice that I finally posted a picture of your doppelganger?

[YojimboMonkey]

Yeah I saw that and there are some superficial similarities but he seems to have far more douchebag in him than I do   Also I never wear hats

Just kidding he seems like a pretty happy guy and there are definitely some similar features.  Seriously though I never wear hats.  My melon is just too humongous.

edit: sorry about the douchebag thing, I thought I remembered you saying you didn't care too much for the guy.
