Local Signs: Part 5


Liquid. Whole. Eggs.

Gross.

What good is food storage if you'll NEVER eat it?

I'll starve first.

This item will never find its way into my year supply.

Local Signs: Part 4

Have any of you ever been to Las Tarascas? A few observations:

1-It is DELICIOUS. Honest, I loved it, enjoyed Mexican dishes that I thought I wouldn't. Turns out I'd just been having the cheap American knock-off for years. The Real stuff, what you might call...

2-AUTHENTIC, is great. And this is very authentic, as their sign indicates. Thats RIGHT, folks, they are more authentic then %100, MORE real than Mexico City, they have defied the laws of nature and find themselves MORE GENUINE THAN PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!
If I could harness that potential, that IMPOSSIBLE ability, think of it! %110 Productivity, %110 on Finals, %10 MORE than I EVER could otherwise. Way to Go, Las Tarascas, YOU DID IT!

Local Signs: Part 3

Not a conventional sign, but an unmistakable one, none-the-less. It reads, "SPRING IS COMING!"

Local Signs: Part 2


I was at Smith's last night. I like movies, and was excited to see some for only five bucks, and big name movies, too. But After looking for a while, there just weren't any that I wanted to get. Then I saw the sign, and read a little closer. Thats right, only the movies that were rated R were five bucks. They must really be hurtin' to pawn those off on somebody here in Provo. All the other ones were a dollar more. Except new releases, like "The Land Before Time 12"! Ya, you read that right, Capitol T-w-e-l-v-e. That just blows my mind, these movies are still being made. Have you heard about the first Land Before Time being a parallel to the Mormon trek West? Don't believe me? The director, Don Bluth, grew up in Payson UT, and is very much a member of the LDS Church. The story is about a band of orphans who travel West after a voice from the heavens tells them there is a promised land there. Think about it.

Local Signs: Part 1



Have you ever notices the Taylor Maid Beauty Supply on Center Street? You know, they have some pretty sweet costumes at Halloween. And outside they have those portraits. They have one of Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. And theres one of James Dean. And another portrait of...what appears to be...Geraldo Rivera? I know its not really Geraldo, and even if it is, I'm a broadcast journalism major, thats fine, I'm sure hes a great guy. But doesn't the Clarke Gable illustration look just a little like Geraldo? I think yes.
