This is real – and right down the street from my apartment here in the Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago. They give out free samples!

No, this isn’t a fail. I designed this sign for the owner of this restaurant, and he was fully aware of what the alternate reading of this sign is.

definitely not photoshopped. i know exactly where this place is and i know the guy who owns it. he would definitely write something like this and have no idea that it says what it does.

This looks shooped. I can tell by the pixels and having seen quite a few shoops in my time.

It’s real. This is a dessert place in Chicago. All of their publicity is deliberately semi-naughty. It’s not a fail.

Yup it is, thank you Admiral. I have no doubt that she has made many great quotes on the value of words, that one, then one you provided was presented to me. Since I was being an asshat. Thanks for finding it.

Dragon has made many memorable statements on the value of words. Was this the memorable quote you couldn’t remember?

“I see words as the currency of our lives. If we spend them wisely we get a good return on our investment. If we are wasteful and spend them on empty ideas and ash, we get nothing. Words are not the cover…they are very much a part of who we are.”

Well dragon, I don’t know if this will make you half as proud, but when you and I first argued, back when I made my disgraceful entrance, well you changed something. I considered this a place just to relax and let go. Sentence structure, spelling and grammar, I did not care for the lot of them. When you made the quote, which I now wish I possessed the right neurons firing at that point in time to save it, made me change. Made me realize that I am accountable for what I put out there, and that words are not meant to just throw around but to be put together is as best a way possible for us. I am only sorry that I still suck in grammar. Corrections are always appreciated.

I have a narrow choice of commute routes, but don’t assume I take for granted what I pass by everyday. I love observing and documenting the changes I see each day, and if interesting, relate them to friends. Not a day goes by that I don’t take some pleasure in my surroundings. I rarely, if ever, drive to work on “mental autopilot”.

Coyote: Whereas many college students think they have all the answers, and are often so closed-minded that they refuse to acknowledge any opinion other than their own.

I always love it when I get someone in my class who can actually say, “Wow! That changed the way I think about something!!”, whether it was something that I taught them or something they learned from a classmate or whatnot. Love it, love it, love it.

Nest fail.
Restating…
Ya my bad habit of generalizing has resurfaced. *slams hand with a ^^ hammer*
Arrows of significance above. Just a little *hee*
You are correct, I should have said I or most people in general. For me it actually is dependent on the car I get left.
If I have the Cutlass Supreme well, it overheats on the highways and so I must take the back routes to work. The other cars can handle the highway.

I too get accused of taking the scenic routes, but I am still a relatively new driver (4 years only) so even though I would like to say I take new routes. I am actually trying to map out routes so I have alternates when the traffic gets ridiculous.

Admiral: That was one of the things that I particularly loved about teaching preschoolers. When we did experiments they had no idea what would happen. They just wanted to see something happen. They would then then want to see it happen again and again. But that is beside the point.

Sorry Dragon I wanted to keep it away from the religious debate. I thought that was where you were headed. Sorry for the misunderstanding Admiral. You know how people stubbornly believe in the higher power but when a “miracle” is explained they refute that evidence. There is some sort of optimism that can explain it. Biased or something. Analogy used is when you throw 100 darts and one hits a bulls-eye, you refute the misses and focus on the hit.

@ Emp: What Dragon said both times. It’s exhilarating to learn and grow.

When I conduct my own experiments in life (I love to observe and test things first-hand dontcha know) I try hard not to have a preference for one outcome over another.

I think you meant to say, “I” rather than “you” in that sentence. Or if you didn’t, that’s rather presumptuous of you.

Many years ago, I adopted a “New Road” policy. Whenever I can, I take a different path to a familiar destination.

Don’t assume things about others that actually pertain to yourself. Your assumptions can get you in a lot of trouble.

There is a quote; from whom, I have no idea; that hangs over my desk. It reads, “If you desire the truth then you must also have the courage to accept it.”

By: Dragonwriter

Dragonwriter — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:25:48 +0000

But that’s not at all what the Admiral was talking about. He was talking about people who stubbornly cling to their own ideas or opinions DESPITE there being known alternatives out there. Everyone has been lied to…we can all relate to that (though my parents never asked us to believe that Santa was real).

It’s very different to refuse to budge on a belief, idea, or opinion, or to even consider adopting a different point of view. The “not always right, but never in doubt” attitude.

Jennyisbusy — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:23:15 +0000

Emp,
Sure science can be retested but for the majority of people they are just going by what they have been taught. For example: Can you prove that gravity is a force that is centered in a planet that pulls items with mass towards it’s center?
Are you sure that gravity is not a force produced by the atmosphere that is actually pushing items of mass away from it?

Oh, much of the same reaction on my part as well. But lets say the age old getting told or finding out Santa was not real. (sorry bff if you read this) To me the excitement of learning the truth is suppressed by the crushing blow delivered to me knowing I was lied to. Lied to for my enjoyment and benefit maybe but if you preach lying of all types is wrong then do not do that. (Side note: I am hereby announcing that I will be a hypocrite and tell my children not to lie and tell them Santa exists.)

There are huge chasms between what I have been taught, what I have lived, and what I (would) like to believe in. One is christian based, one is like a TV drama, the other is mostly fluffy bunny dreams.
Really when it comes down to it the only thing I can stand up and yell passionately is “I don’t know much!”

By: Dragonwriter

Dragonwriter — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:15:06 +0000

Addendum to Emp:

Many, many, many things that I have believed to be true in my life have been debunked. My reaction is usually excitement that I get to learn something new, not to cling to something that no longer has any verisimilitude.

This is the difference between being willing to learn and…not.

By: Dragonwriter

Dragonwriter — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:13:13 +0000

Ah-hah! So I was right…that is where hedonistic comes from. So when you said “dollars” you meant “dolors”? That would have made a lot more sense.

Thanks for the clarification.

Admiral, if you held something to be true for most of your life. Be it some sort of belief, and it gets debunked. Well would you not have a hard time letting go of the subject you held dear?

Also, I don’t understand why people cling so desperately to their own opinions, even on trivial matters. I love to be enlightened by another’s point of view, be it trusted friend, author, or other sage communication.

Sorry to bring some of my PK discussions here.

I am just glad I was able to engage such bright minds in discussion.
