Trilogy Easter Brunch

Posted on: Wednesday, March 19th, 2008 in: Other

I saw this sign on the side of the road.  It’s near where I work, and I drive past this location almost day.  However, I have no idea what “Trilogy” is.  I guess it’s a church, but I have no clue where it might be.
Even if I was interested in attending a random Easter brunch, [...]

Indian Hills Art Show

Posted on: Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 in: Other

This one goes hand-in-hand with our recent Wal-Mart example.  It’s not a bad sign, but it’s not very clear.  I saw this sign on a Monday morning on my way to work.  Was it left up from the previous weekend?  Or does it really mean “this Friday” coming up?
This neighborhood often has outdated signs posted, [...]

Verizon’s math skills are deteriorating

Posted on: Thursday, November 15th, 2007 in: Other

I have Verizon Wireless for my cell phone and I’m reasonably happy with them. However, they seem to be having a very hard time figuring out what their rates are.
First was the very amusing story of George Vaccaro, who couldn’t convince Verizon that $0.02 and $0.0002 were actually different numbers.
Now we have a guy [...]

If it doesn’t say Wood & Fullerton above the door, you’re at the wrong Goodyear

Posted on: Friday, November 2nd, 2007 in: Other

“If it doesn’t say Wood & Fullerton above the door, you’re at the wrong Goodyear.”
That was the tagline of a commercial I heard on the radio yesterday. While I understand where they’re coming from, it seems to put a downer on the Goodyear brand as a whole.
I heard it as “all of the other [...]

Regions Bank Road Trip Planner

Posted on: Sunday, October 14th, 2007 in: Other

They’ve been pimpin this thing on the radio (and TV) around here non-stop. They make it sound like the best website ever created.
Really, it’s not a bad idea. It gives great info about each stadium/city, and a map with useful info. However, since it’s sponsored by Regions Bank, they only show Regions [...]

Be Prepaerd

This was kinda funny.  We went to an apple orchard on Friday (great place for the kids to go).  Anyhow, this was the sign they had when you left the parking lot.

Are you sure you want to buy a washing machine from us?

Posted on: Saturday, October 13th, 2007 in: Other

Jeremy Zawodny has a rough tale of trying to buy a new washer from Sears.  I’ve always had pretty good luck with them, but I’m a bit wary after reading his story.

At least let me read the copyright notice if I want to

Posted on: Monday, September 17th, 2007 in: Other

I was putting on a Wiggles DVD for my girls yesterday when a line in the insanely long copyright notice caught my eye.  Something about “Kipper” (another show we watch).  I wanted to see why it would mention him, so I tried to rewind.  Too late, the DVD was already at the main menu.
I rebooted [...]

What day?

Posted on: Wednesday, September 12th, 2007 in: Other

We saw this sticker on a package of pita bread in the kitchen.  I thought it was odd that it didn’t mention the year, but it wasn’t a big deal — if you were in August, 2008, you’d know it was expired.
Then my wife pointed out the date.  How many September 31sts have [...]

Wrong color for a computer ad

Posted on: Monday, September 3rd, 2007 in: Other

I saw this ad in a local paper here today.  It’s got a few issues (nearly invisible link to their site, and the site is just “coming soon”), but the biggest is the screen.  The scan doesn’t do it justice, but the blue is the exact same as the “blue screen of death” that we’ve [...]
