Rut Girl's Friday Honor Roll

Friday Funny

Well it isn't everyday that we would nominate the Rutland Police Log as funny but one particular item on the list (published in Wednesday's Rutland Herald) caught our eye. Take a look at the 3.13pm entry on Sunday, February 21. Yes, that's right 'breathing'. Take that as a warning all you Pine Street residents, take one breath and Rutland's finest (what's left of them anyway) will be at your door.

Friday Fail

Following on from last week's Friday fail featuring Cafe Terra's spelling error, we thought we'd found another one when we saw this sign at Ponderosa Steakhouse on Route 7.

That's not how you spell ace is it? Convinced that no one could possibly have erred that badly (who would describe their seafood buffet as ace anyway?!) we googled the term.

Surprise, surprise AYCE is an acronym for 'all you can eat', not one we're that familiar with, but there you go, not only do you learn something new everyday but it's yet another example of the death of the English language (and yes we mean you Diamond Run Mall). It is not like there isn't plenty of white space (obscured by the vehicle) to fit all those words. Lazy!

(apologies for the quality of the photo, but it's not easy when you're a passenger on a bus on the opposite side of Route 7).
