“Eat Here & Get Gas”
Is that a promise or a threat?
Can’t say, since they’re closed. But I like to believe it’s just a simple truth
Not seen in person, but what a fabulous image to find on the internet. Talk about utter perfection:

A friend of mine used to have a t-shirt from Stuckey’s that said “Stuckeys - Eat Here and Get Gas!”. Stuckey’s used to have stores all along the Kansas Turnpike; I think they’re down to one these days. They still sell the t-shirt from their website, though.
Three-legged incontinent dog?
I took the 13-yr-old shopping.
We found this skirt and she said, “it reminds me of some 50s diner.”
I said, “oh it’s even better than that”

Bunnyman is a local urban legend with a tiny basis in fact. Story here:

“Warning Stay Clear of Blowhole
You can be sucked in and killed
It’s not a water park”
The statue on the fountain is of a knight slaying a dragon, but its shadow on the wall shows an old man wearily mopping the floor
Saint George is forced into retirement and takes up a janitorial side job.
“You know kids, I slew a dragon once!”
"Sure you did George. By the way, you missed a spot "
Don Quixote?
All those ‘St George killing a dragon’ statues & pictures - why is the dragon always so small? (Usually somewhat dog sized.)
Seriously, this has been one of my bugbears for ages.
Thinking of the actions of King Casiodorus at the end of the movie Dragonslayer, and imagining what the artist asked to commemorate his accomplishment might do…it could’ve been worse:
Maybe despite the stories of dragons being man-eaters with huge appetites, somehow the description of a creature with scales got mixed up with crocodiles and lizards.
There is that, but it just looks neither fair nor particularly brave or heroic to me.
Man in armour armed to the teeth spears creature half his size or so. Depending on the version this looks either very silly or just plain cruel, sometimes a weird mix of both.
Going against a beast large enough to devour someone in a single bite with, say a small pointed stick while dressed in a loincloth - now that’s the kind of inspired insanity I’d expect from a saint.
