Pushing Daisies: “The Complete 2 Second Season.” I know it was short, but I’d swear it was longer than that!

Elf Storage
ELF STORAGE, originally uploaded by conradh.
A decade ago, Katie saw a self storage place with the first S missing from the sign. She didn’t get a picture, and has been looking for another sign with the same failing ever since.
Last summer we spotted a sign with the S broken. It turns out that the S eventually did fall off the rest of the way.
Gandledorf
Go ahead. Tell me Dumbledore doesn’t look like Gandalf in this poster.
Quantum Shipping
Delivering light at the speed of packages! Er, packages at the speed of light!
The only problem is, their tracking system is pretty limited. It can tell you where your package is, or what direction it’s moving, but not both.
Once I even logged in and it had two status notices, one telling me my package had been delivered and one telling me it hadn’t!
I would have called about that, but they would have just directed me to Heisenberg in customer service, and he’s never certain about anything.
(Okay, it’s really the loading dock at an old Quantum warehouse, but what’s the fun in that?)
Do Not Climb on Mickey

Strange Signs of San Diego (Gaslamp Edition)
Seriously, doesn’t this chair look like it was made of the material they were trying to find a use for in the first episode of Better Off Ted…and turned into a chair so irritating that it increased worker productivity because people couldn’t get comfortable? (You can see it in the middle of this 10-minute preview.)
It was the chair in our hotel room (the converted bank office with the impressive lobby). Fortunately it wasn’t nearly as scratchy as Viridian Dynamics’ “Focus Master.” (Incidentally: more Better off Ted episodes are starting up in a couple of weeks for the summer!)
Some graffiti on plywood in the Gaslamp District area:
And then there was this “You Are Under Surveillance” sign. Something about the combination of the sign, the stairway, and all the posters on the walls just looked interesting.
BOB This Way!
Sign taped to light pole: “BOB →”
Huh???
