Imponderable #79: Urbana Ohio

Time travel gives me a headache.

Let’s let The Doctor explain it.

What amazes me here is the Ohio police. They pick a guy up for DUI and let him back on the street, drunk and behind the wheel, a mere hour later? Justice is swift in Urbana, so swift that there was no time for the guy to sleep it off in the drunk tank, it seems. What’s up with the cops just bringing him in and letting him go? Catch and release works for bass fishing tournaments, not policing the citizenry.

And when he was picked up the second time, all they gave him was another citation?

How drunk are the cops in Urbana Ohio?
The question is Imponderable.

Picture Postcard: Pig Girl

8 Jan

January 8, 2013

No, this is not what you think. Pig Girl is the name of a 99 cent store in my area.

Pig Girl

The area is becoming heavily Asian and the store is run by Chinese people, so I am assuming that Pig Girl means that the woman who runs in the store was born in the Year of The Pig.

At least that is my hope.

I did not take that picture but I have to thank whoever did and put it online. Although I passed that store hundreds of times I never got around to taking a picture, and now it is closed. (Note the “going out of business” sign in the window.)

I wonder if it anything to do with the name?

Whenever I read the Pig Girl sign, I invariably think of the pig slaves created by the Daleks in the very disappointing Doctor Who episode The Daleks Take Manhattan.

69

So the moral of the story is that a funny name for your store might get it noticed, but fear of the Daleks may put it out of business, or something like that.
