What Does That Even Mean?

As you drive up 501 in Lancaster heading toward Lititz you will pass JJ's Java house. Outside of JJ's is this sign. Now I'm wondering what it means. And if it means what I think it does, then do they have theme drinks. Like French roast, french fries and french toast. Or is it more random like decaff, a jelly doughnut and a carrot. Whatever it is I think I'll pass. I like my food and drink separate. Although a cup of joe with a shot of shoo-fly pie could be interesting.

Did We Really Need To Spend Money On This

I was walking downtown and noticed this plaque in the ground. Of all the things Lancaster City could be spending my ever increasing tax dollars on this is last on my list. There is no need for this. It is like those government forms you get with a blank page. And across the page is written "This page intentionally left blank. Well thanks for the info, why not save some trees and leave those "blank" pages out altogether? Somehow I think if I see a random piece of sidewalk or macadam without any signs I will know it isn't dedicated.

Kids Today Have Lost Their Daredevil Spirit

Recently I was over by Toys R Us and saw a speed limit sign that had me puzzled. I know spray painting extra numbers or changing numbers is great fun for teenagers. However I think I would have added a "1" in front or maybe changed the "2" to an "8". But seriously 26! I go faster than that without even trying. Maybe it was some Amish kids, and they were reaching new speed records on their scooters or roller skates.

Woody's Movie Review 39

Here we are again, so let's get started.

First we have "Edge of Darkness" starring one of my favorite actors Mel Gibson. Gibson plays a father who welcomes home his daughter only to see her shot right in front of him. Since Gibson is a cop he goes on a journey of investigation/revenge/retribution/justice. This was a great movie, the only comment I have is I didn't know Mel was that short. 5 penguins.

Next is "Final Destination 4". I think the final destination for this one should be on the shelf. It was OK but not fantastic, plus I have seen the formula 3 times already. The first one (as is the case with most sequel driven movies) is still the best. There was one good line though. After the one character dies the one girl asks her boyfriend "Remember the redneck from the racetrack?". Seriously you will have to be way more specific. That's like asking "Remember that moron wearing the Steelers jersey?". 2 penguins.

Next is "Gamer". I just watched this one this morning. It stars Gerard Butler and Michael C. Hall. Butler is a death row inmate forced to play a game where he is controlled by some 17 year old kid. Hall is the genius behind the game. As with most movies like this Butler is innocent and Hall had him put behind bars. Butler tries to escape the game and exact revenge. It is language and skin heavy without a great story. 2 penguins.

Lastly we have "The Invention of Lying" starring Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Garner. This movies alternate title is "The Invention of Being Sacrilegious". In a world where everyone only tells the truth Ricky figures out how to lie. It is funny in the first half. But when he tells his dying mother a lie to comfort her and the hospital staff overhear it things go from funny to insulting. He makes up a lot of things to explain his lies, going so far as to write them on 2 pizza boxes. I recommend for the sake of your mind and conscience leave this one alone. I give the first half 3 penguins and the second half 1 penguin so it gets an overall 2 penguin average.
