I like Target, but now I’m starting to wonder what’s going on there….

First of all, normal people call this a “toilet”. Or find a different way to abbreviate “sheet protector”:

Sht Prtector


Second: This product name is bizarre in the first place. Then the other words on the bottle do everything they can to make the product name look as bad as possible:

I Love Pet Head


On the plus side, it appears Target has struck up an exclusive marketing deal with Triton:

Nutitriton Bars

It’s always nice when a website is so backwards-compatible, time travelers from the 1980′s can be comfortable with it.

I like how Frito-Lay treats potatoes being grown on a farm as a bonus. (Apparently other companies manufacture their potatoes in test tubes.)

In Tuscaloosa, there’s this regional Mexican fast food joint called “Taco Casa”. It provides a relatively decent meal if you don’t mind spending a bit more than at Taco Bell.

We can overlook the poor Spanish grammar of the restaurant’s name, because they have a cool little pamphlet who sumptuous descriptions of their menu offerings. The food names generally had pronunciation guides. Just in case there was any uncertainty about how to pronounce “Taco”:

Of course, they didn’t need to tell us how to pronounce “Chimalupa”. Everyone knows what those are:

There is no longer any excuse to utter “Nachos” as a two-syllable word, as most all of us mistakenly do. It is actually three:

While Taco Casa does not offer sopapillas, they do offer something called the “sopapia”. They sound kind of similar:

The greatest lasting memory of Katrushka’s and I’s trip to the 2011 Houston Rodeo consists of the pictures below.

Harlon’s BBQ apparently is not overly concerned with the English language. I count five spelling or grammatical errors in the first picture alone.

While not strictly a “Monday Fighter”, it’s good enough. And it was found in a Chinese restaurant.

(Monday Fighter! is no longer a weekly feature which attempts to cheer up or inspire the masses who must start yet another work week. As always, fortunes are photographed on a wooden table.)

When people think of getting grant money for school, they probably aren’t thinking about defensive driving classes…

dawm dishwasing

I thought “Wal-tussin” was a bad generic ripoff name, but Dawm dishwasing liquid takes the cake.

give up

“give up” found in Memorial Park a month or so ago. They’ve already painted over it, so you can go longer gawk at its amazing simplicity.
