I wonder if there would ever be anything nowadays that would get advertised/represented by a picture of a decomposing lion covered in flies.

I was still a young 'un when this sign was out, so that's my excuse for not realizing her dress is a "bell".

I guess the lion mane is supposed to be "U ARK" but it kind of looks like it could be "U APE" or "URPA"

Scott, bass player for Tenth Avenue North (Hurting 2), Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:10 (eleven years ago) link

o or is it U APB (U arkansas pine bluff)?

Scott, bass player for Tenth Avenue North (Hurting 2), Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:11 (eleven years ago) link

UAPB.

everything from A to Z - said with a Bruce Willis smirk.

pplains, Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:11 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, i was slow to catch the implication of the amazon smile

and, like pplains, grew up thinking the (taco) bell was a dress

That whole Samson thing gets more and more fucked up as it goes along.

Later on, at the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said, "I'm going to my wife's room." But her father would not let him go in.

pplains, Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link

idgi did he fuck the goat

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link

andrew m., Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link

Top tip - when visiting your wife, if you're chatting with her father, remember to remember her name.

The first time someone pointed out the KKK thing on a pack of Marlboro's, I remarked that he smoked a LOT of weed.

Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link

whoa I never noticed the bees on the Lyle's logo. and I was puzzled because we used to eat the Lyle's treacle cake as a weekend treat for a while when I was a kid, and how could I not have noticed? but apparently they're not on the cake packaging:

did Mr McVitie say "we're not making your cake unless we can airbrush these sodding insects out of the logo"?
