Seen on the Way to Work Today

by Joey deVilla on September 3, 2008

The Bang Bang Bar on Bloor Street West (between Dundas and Keele) promotes its events using Facebook:

Bang Bang Bar

In a place like Accordion City, where 1 in 3 people has a Facebook account, it makes perfect sense. (To be notified of Bang Bar Bar events, you join the Bang Bang Bar Boozers group and add one “Glenn Bang” as your friend.)


Also seen on the work today: a guy in a brown Mazda who loves the hand gesture known as “The Shocker” so much that he bought a “shocker” decal for his car:

Here’s a close-up:

Stay classy, dude.

(In case you’re not familiar with “The Shocker”, it’s a hand gesture that makes “The Finger” seem like a Sunday school picnic for Barry Manilow fans. If you really must know, there’s a very complete explanation here with not-safe-for-work text.)

I have a neighbor who wears his shocker t-shirt to all community events. You can’t get more classy than that, right?

The rosary beads hanging from the rear-view mirror is what makes it for me.

@lisey: Two thoughts come to mind:

  1. Shockers for Jesus!
  2. Maybe they’re not rosary beads…
