Just because someone is talented with a paintbrush, doesn’t mean that they should be given the reigns to freestyle a simple sign.
Such is the case of this sign that adorns the restroom of Picket Fence in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.
Brooklyn: It’s All Phonetics
One of the greatest things about Brooklyn is the fact that plenty of people write the way they speak…as evidenced by this lost cat poster when the wrote “must of just ran out.”
Check out the prices of both the “galon” and half “galon” of milk.
But before you do that, you might want to bring all of your laundry down to the “laundermat.”
Now if only people from Long Island wrote how they speak; anything ending in an ‘a’ would be converted into an ‘er.’
The NYC Area Wedding Venue Quagmire
We are learning lots in a quick hurry about the whole getting married in a brouhaha type of setting.
Mainly, wedding websites are horrendous.
Particularly the photos of venues are usually a random close up or two of a cake and a happy bride and groom or only show a closed set of doors – thus not actually showing the wedding venue in any useful manner via the internet.
We get it, you can have a wedding cake, a door to the place and a bride and groom there — you do weddings, all four should be able to fit in there someplace — what does the actual location look like?
Thus, Fiancee has been getting various scenic photos emailed to her of locations since the scenic location details are secretive on their own websites for some odd reason — also, a heavy front load of Flash is useless, especially when it jump loads and says, “Enter.”
Thankfully the place that emailed us a photo entitled “North Fasad” was unwittingly able to show off what to expect and tell us to not even bother visiting them based off of their spelling.
Other than that, if we have another shady and/or greasy man wink at us and tell us that they offer ‘complimentary ___xyz___’ when the price is $150 per head, plus 20% administrative fee, plus gratuity, plus nearly 9% in taxes…our head just might blow up.
