"The leopards, swift and terrible and white, / Within the loins that shudder as they crawl"

Seen outside a local restaurant:


(Sign: "LOVE PEOPLE / COOK THEM / TASTY FOOD")

I originally took this as an object lesson in the importance of punctuation, but it could also be taken as one in the importance of case markers -- the ambiguity being whether "them" is a direct or indirect object.

(And yes, it does have tasty food -- it's a quesadilla joint, good enough that TBD requested we go back.)

Oh yes!

Penzey's also uses that phrase....

[larryhammer]

With the same punctuation issue?

[batwrangler]

They are better about the punctuation, but I've seen their stickers creatively repunctuated.

[larryhammer]

Heh.

But what sort of meat is in those quesadillas, hmm?

[larryhammer]

TBD only eats cheese-only, so we're good there. I usually get pollo asado or carne asada, and -- hmm -- while the latter customarily means grilled beef, it literally is grilled/roasted "meat." Hmmmm.

TERRIFYING!

But, but, they love people!
