The store is having a sale on muffins (apparently), and throught it
would be cute to incorporate the $1 sale price into the word 'muffin.'

They THOUGHT they wrote 'Muff$1n.'

Everyone going by of course sees 'Muff Sin.'

'Muff said.

Here in these parts, up on Muffield Road, prolly around the corner of
RichBitch, there is an ex-Ameritech Wireless store in a strip shopping
center. Of course, they got taken over by Cingular and offer something
called Cingular One Wireless, or did before they closed.

There is a Neon Sign lit up announcing the former product in the empty
store, with some of the bulbs burned out.

So there is this empty store with a bright sign that reads:

....ONE ....LESS

Kind of summarizes life in the high tech lane these days, Eh Wot?

I was recently sent a jpg of a video store which had the unfortunate lack of
vision to use an unusual "font" for their sign. The place was called "Starstruck
Video," but you really have to squint to NOT see it as...STARSFUCK.

As a SubG, I personally would be very happy to patronize this fine
establishment if they eschewed trashy not-quite-R Playbooty fare and lived up to
their name. "Um, do you have 'PokeButt?' I'm told the 'Squirtle' scene is quite
refreshing!" EIEIEIEIEII!!! Don't BE Pink, SHOW PINK!
