Signs and things

I'm just deciding that all these pictures fall into the same category somehow.

This was a very odd window display in a corner store in Park Slope:

This sign adorns an Indian restaurant around the corner from my office:

Lorinne and I went to dinner at Copper Chimney a week or so ago. I had the "Celadon Spritzer" (a foofy nonalcoholic drink) and she had litchi juice. But that's not what the restaurant thought we had:

I like to imagine that "Celadon Spitzer" is governor-elect Eliot Spitzer's drag queen name.

After dinner, we went to the arcade in Chinatown to play some real-world Dance Dance Revolution. This was on the entrance:

I hope I used the right one!

Finally, here's a delightful sign spotted by Lorinne, which sadly will make no sense to anyone who doesn't read the Comics Curmudgeon, but: "Aldo Liquidation"? Does Mary Worth live here or something?

I especially like "Server: waiter." Like it's a translation.

Our heads are in the same place today.

And today's sign is even better.
