Talk of the Town

Observed on a long walk today:

Cluck U Chicken

The name of a fast-food place. Something tells me it isn't a chain. What kind of mind goes into business and names their restaurant this? My kind of mind, alas. Or at least I'd be tempted.

"Never Forget!"

Emblazoned on a poster depicting--you guessed it--the Twin Towers. Why are people in the New York area constantly exhorted to remember the one event (in recent history) that no one can ever forget? "September 11th? I dunno, is that somebody's birthday?"

Venus on the Half Shell

A concrete sculpture, bare breast and all, on someone's front lawn. Unusual subject around here, where you most often see Mary in the Bath Tub. A pagan household? Someone's ironic statement?
