And now, signs that I'm probably reading into...

Let's start the New Year off with something stupid. Or stupider.

Couldn't they pick another fruit to name a tour company?



Hmm -- hot beer...



This weed sucked...and I don't have a receipt...



A trend to watch? People abandoning their noses...



Get what?



What happens when Baskin-Robbins uses the same ad agency as Toys in Babeland.



Pretty brazen to advertise this...



A kind-of stoned white model? Shouldn't be a problem...



Coned employees?



Screw parking!



There's a Mel Brooks joke here...



These buns are annoyed?



Watching tourists cross the street is an agonizingly slow process...



The men working above are dangerous?



No style...
