Surprised to find no jokes online using the pun “Anvil of Cron,” just typos.
Oh well, there’s always S*P’s Google Crom.

I figured I’d wait until after the election to post this one.
Insert your own joke about renting politicians.
(Sorry about the image quality; it was across an intersection, so it was pretty small on the original image. I didn’t even resize it. It’s just cropped. Yeah, my camera isn’t that fantastic once you get down to a 1:1 pixel view)
Generic Store
Spotted this store in Costa Mesa.
I didn’t have time to take a closer look, but from what I can see online, they appear to be focused on making and selling environmentally-friendly clothing made from recycled materials, overstocked fabrics, etc.
Their website doesn’t say, but I imagine the name is a response to the overly brand-conscious nature of today’s fashions. (Ironically, it’s turning “generic” into a brand itself.)
NBC 3D
I caught a re-release of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D.
- Movie: Still good.
- 3D: Still good.
- Digital Projection: Not so good. Pixels were visible in high-contrast or fast-moving scenes.
Clarify and Classify
- If only the super high-tech jet fighters had identified, clarified & classified, they’d have seen the attack for what it really was.
- Good grief. “Traditional marriage” didn’t go away when gays were let into the club. It doesn’t need a discriminatory law to “restore” it.
- South Coast Plaza has Christmas decorations up ALREADY. Halloween doesn’t exist, I guess. Or Thanksgiving.
How do you get them to talk?
OC D&D
Something like 10 years ago, Katie saw a self-storage place in which the opening S was unlit, making it read, “Elf Storage.” She’s been looking for another one ever since, and we finally caught one in Newport Beach a few months ago. This one was even better, because the S had actually fallen off.
Of course, there are other things in the area that could easily come out of a Dungeons & Dragons manual. Such as this Kobold Construction truck.
And then there’s the fact that all fire engines in Orange County are labeled ORC.
Let’s not forget the previously-blogged Hobbit Center in Laguna Beach.
And that’s not even getting into all the Tolkien-inspired street names in Lake Forest…
