I missed the theme earlier. Now, I feel like the butt of the joke.

Sign in a honkytonk down in Louisiana about a mile from Texarkana...

Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks you're an arsehole.

Signs in park:
"Slow children at play" -- umm, my condolences?
"No dogs in park" -- my dog, which is tearing around chasing an invisible squirrel, is obviously in "drive"

My helpful neighbor, "What can I do you for?"

Schadenfreude is also that one German construction we English speakers ever envy. But we actually do have an equivalent: epicaricacy. Use it five times in context and make it your own!

Wabi sabi-That was an interesting concept. Loved it! The last two are good words, but what an awful meaning.

I do like some of the shabby chic decor, not just the phrase.

Especially the chandeliers.

And this is pretty.
