Whatever the case, here are 20 store signs that you just can’t make up.

  • Sh0rtstak, on 11/20/2008, -3/+88I used to work at crapbooks. After every sale they made us say, "thanks for shopping at crap books. Have a shi*ty day." I've since moved on though. I now work for half-ass hardware
  • bazacko, on 11/20/2008, -1/+74Some of these, you CAN make up. With photoshop.
  • bixby1, on 11/20/2008, -4/+40Quite ironically, I went to the Fart store to buy soap.
  • Stevanoski, on 11/21/2008, -1/+31I remember a store named Janus Jewelery in the little burg I graduated high school. Many a Sunday morning the J would be missing from their sign.
  • patpl22391, on 11/21/2008, -0/+19I thought maybe the "S" was out and it was really scrapbooks.
  • drex8, on 11/21/2008, -0/+17Bunghole Liquors http://www.bungholeliquors.com/ "We're Not #1 Butt We're Right Up There"
  • VenDrake, on 11/21/2008, -1/+16I worked at "Bell's Amusement Park" in Tulsa OK for several years. One night, some of the neon in our sign burnt out leaving the sign to read "Bill's Amusement Park". I'm sure it was funny to the customers, but to the employees it was hilarious -- "Bill" was the name of our ELECTRICIAN.
  • patpl22391, on 11/21/2008, -0/+15Woops, silly me, the "S" really is out. Sh0rtstak confused me :(
  • jetboyterp, on 11/21/2008, -0/+13I always miss those 0% off sales...
  • LoneWolf01, on 11/21/2008, -0/+10The last one, (the Hil-LSD-ale one) is actually from Back to the Future II.
  • centran, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9I laughed more at the fact of the dude leaning over the ledge and looking down at the rest of the sign. It probably got away from him. Now he is like, "*****, I don't want to carry that damn thing back up here"
  • Brododium, on 11/21/2008, -0/+8The 'Prayerhouse' church sign is a parody of a New Zealand budget supermarket chain called 'The Warehouse', which has the tagline "Where Everyone Gets a Bargain"... just an FYI.
  • nikpappagiorgio, on 11/20/2008, -1/+9Right after Fart did you pass a Turd Baby?
  • Cybergig, on 11/21/2008, -1/+9I would love to go to the LSD store. An experience of a lifetime.
  • GamingForever, on 11/21/2008, -3/+10I went to the PMS store.. yeah, the woman always b**** at you...

  • Nosferotu, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6Good try. I won't dig you down, because I see your attempt was sincere.
  • BiIlyMays, on 11/21/2008, -2/+8Down at 104 diggs?
  • nikpappagiorgio, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5What qualifies as a White Trash Charm? Crumpled up Milwaukee Beast cans?
  • Christbait, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5i met your girlfriend there too.
  • CJankeLOLv2, on 11/21/2008, -3/+8anus
  • sparsely, on 11/21/2008, -1/+6how does an e become an i ?
    well I guess if it was capital letters the three little horizontals may have burnt out. E I.
    Okay nevermind, answered my own question.
  • Autodidaddict, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4The 'S' in the sign of the Shoe Carnival store used to always be "broken" near my house....damn kids.....
  • CJankeLOLv2, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4thats illogical


    /s
  • plaboon, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4Ha, I took a funny pic of a storefront the other day in Costa Rica. It's crazy what you can buy here ;)

  • captmorgan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4Bunghole is appropriate. Its the hole in the side of a whiskey barrel.

  • inactive, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4well come on, no server translate error?

    btw before mcdognads wimpy was englands burger chain. they were actually worse than mcdognads if you can imagine.

    Possibly names after Popeye's friend J. Wellington Wimpy who liked burgers.
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -5/+9Can't get passed the movie promo................buried
  • inactive, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I am Cornholio!!!
  • inactive, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3Did anyone else see the ad on the bottom and think it was one last sign?
  • ChromaVita, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3That's like the sign to the neighborhood near me named Eastwood that just happens to always say "EAT WOOD"

    I laugh every time.
  • mistergoomba, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I'm wiling to bet that someone somewhere made each one of these up
  • kiMMey1, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3Half ass-hardware
  • CrimsonBlur, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3That doesn't mean it's made up... some people just make crappy signs.
  • WakeRider, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3It isn't a supermarket. It is a general purpose store that sells cheap crap imported from China, sort of along the lines of WalMart and K-Mart. They did try to sell groceries in a few of their stores but couldn't compete with the other supermarket chains we have here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id ...

    I remember at Primary (Elementary) School how we would alter some of those slogans. I can still hear it in my head: "The Warehouse, The Warehouse, Where Everyone Gets a Rip Off!" Good Times :D
  • inactive, on 11/20/2008, -3/+6"My Elves are getting to be a handful." Classic
  • Zomgondo, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I remember driving by the Retarded Citizen's Thrift Store in Oxnard when I was a kid and thinking it was hilarious. Alas, it looks like they finally decided to become politically correct and change their name: http://danalane.blogspot.com/2008/05/retarded-chil ...
  • Slyer, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3Yep I was surprised to see it here!
    99% of people won't get the joke.
  • LanceUppercut, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I have a waffle house near me that has the entire road sign on a stick (the 80' billboard visible from the highway) powered by a single light switch.

    I used to go on trash runs back in high school working at the wendys next door and turn it off. It would be off for days.

    As far as I know, it is still that way. I about got stabbed when I turned it off last time, got threatened by a dude that really should be towing cars or something.

    Grammar nazis, go ***** yourself.
  • WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -0/+3The name "Janus" is quite bad enough on its own - he was the two-faced god. Ouch.
  • CrushThemTorg, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Is there a sign on my house that says elf storage?
  • orion846, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3i don't mean to get all 'katie couric' on you, but SOMEONE had to make those up for us to be looking at them
