One of my favorite things in the world is weird restaurant signs that depict the food eating itself. Like, there's a Fish joint on Pico in L.A. that has Charlie the Tuna firing up the grill with a big salmon on it with Xs for eyes. That, my friend, is awesome.

The construction worker uniform includes pants whose bagginess puts mid-90s skater pants to shame and some tabi boots- the kind with the separate toe like ninjas wear. Nike thought it'd be cool to make tabi sneakers a few years ago, but they just looked kind of goofy.
