On my Internet welcome screen a few days ago, there was a headline that I thought said, "Math use rising for kids." I thought, "Well, that's a good thing, right?" Then I looked again, and saw that the headline was actually, "METH use rising for kids," which, well, isn't so good.

I can also recall seeing a sign advertising chocolate silk pie, but I originally saw the word "silk" as "sex."

Anyone else ever misread stuff like that?

Haha, but whilst we're on the subject, I can get you a copy for $5 if you like? It's hot stuff!

There's a thread on the Frank Black Making Noise forum about a Honeycomb promo. I just read it as "Honeycomb porno," even though it wasn't the first time I'd seen the topic.

I'll bet you were disappointed to find out it was just a bakery!

Or did they have erotic cakes?

When I first came to Catalunya I thought the signs for bakeries, Forn, said Porn.

Yes, just like Afternoon Delight is delightful for afternoons.

The song isn't delightful for ANYBODY, though.

Did you think that Turkish Delight was delightful for Turks?

There used to be a Chinese restaurant in my area called "Hunan Delight," and I thought it was "HUMAN Delight" when I was a kid. No, I didn't think they served human flesh there, just that it was delightful FOR humans, or something like that.

I was reading the 'First concert' thread just now and I thought I read floop's as 'Joan Jett & The Blackhearts'. Sadly it was just 'oan Jett & The Black hearts'.

I was just gonna tell him how cool he was too.

I had one yesterday. I was on Amazon.co.uk, looking for a film for Kitty, when I saw a list someone had made, entitled 'A bunch of crappy films (which are good)'. I decided to have a look, and half away down I saw the film 'Crap fishing with Liam Dale'. Oh how I laughed. How I laughed until I realised it was actually called 'Carp fishing with Liam Dale'. So then I laughed some more.

Crazy days.

Love, love, my season

Sometimes I see "and" or "the" and have to do a double-take
because I can't figure out what I'm reading.


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Frank

Robert Pollard famously misread a sign saying "Beethoven" as "Bee Thousand", and look where that got him!
