I don’t think that’s quite what they were trying to say…

That’s one determined music star.
Or else one weird music/horror crossover film. (But then, is there any other kind?)
Affluent Flowers
When I first spotted this sign, I just couldn’t believe the name of the florist at the bottom.
Okay, I’m sure people with more money send more flowers, but it seems a little tactless to point it out in the shop’s name.
Of course, it is Irvine…
How does that work?
Wait a minute… how does one lease a tax refund? 😀
California Craziness
Here are some interesting/amusing signs we spotted on our trip to Northern California last month.
This seemed appropriate for a trip to a comic convention. And like the Sylar Industries sign I posted earlier, all it needed was a little adjustment. Can you get a room with the power cosmic? Found in San Simeon, across the highway from our motel. (Keep in mind as you read on that the one on the right is the only doctored photo in the post.)
My personal favorite was this one in Sunnyvale. It’s always nice when city planners (or anyone making a sign, really) have a sense of humor.
Perhaps Mr. Speeder was frustrated by driving this street, somewhere near San Luis Obispo:
Sylar Industries
Up in Napa, we found this sign at the entrance to Syar Industries.
Being Heroes fans, we couldn’t resist. Not only was the name just one letter off of the show’s popular villain, but the elongated S in the logo was just begging for a trio of crosspieces to turn it into the helix symbol that appears everywhere in the show. A bit of photo-manipulation later:
Raising the Dead
Well, when you come down to it, that’s what Easter is about. But when you put it that way, it just sounds like the stuff that most churches rail against.
