“Chomping down on an anthropomorphic pickle with the face of Paul Newman would leave me feeling decidedly conflicted.”

Fancy Footwork

by ylmmb on July 12, 2009

Lizzie submits this logo and writes, “I have to drive by this place on a regular basis. I cringe as that hideous foot stares at me from its rotating sign. There’s a traffic light outside this place, so if you’re lucky you can see BOTH SIDES of this horror while waiting for the light to change (feels like the longest light in LA).”

Also, can someone please tell me why the foot has feet?
