• Taunts, Fumes, Noodles and Doodles

  The last week has been busy, so I will share these highlights to make up for lost time. First, the owner of the store that is located down the street is a sadist, because this is definitely adding insult to injury:

  

  That giant ice cream is taunting everyone who walks passes, ”We are closed, so you cannot have me. But if we were open, you could have me. But we are not open. Quit starring at me. You are making me uncomfortable, creep.” If someone broke in to this store, could you blame them? To me, this is equivalent to a bank leaving large sums of cash in plain sight, except I can eat ice cream without consequences.

   

  Second, at work one of the rooms was recently painted. Because the paint had the most toxic smell you have ever encountered, they put signs up that said “Do Not Enter. Toxic Fumes.” I decided the sign needed some enhancements, so I was like “fixed that for you!”

  

  I don’t care who you are. Whenever you hear the word “toxic”, that song is the first or second thing you think of.

   

  Third, it disturbs me that the napkin of the ramen noodle place in the mall has a question mark above the soup bowl. “We have no idea what the hell is in this,” is not the message I want from my soup. In fact, if you are not a fortune cookie, I don’t want message from my food at all. Since the napkin is a bit odd, I figure they might as well up the level of oddity. So I hereby submit my official suggestion for changing up the design:

  

  1. Mickey Mouse style ears
  2. Whiskers
  3. Tentacles coming out of the questionable content
  4. Tank treads for better traction and for quelling pesky uprisings among the ramen noodle-demanding populace
  5. And fairly affective shading for ballpoint pen on a napkin

  Now they have a mascot that is able to go toe-to-toe with the mascot of Big Boy.
