Not so strict
This from
Jeff
in London. I like that an intensifier like "strictly" is used at all, and especially that it's qualified by the quotes. I would think "No Admittance" would have done it.

you won't get any rest
what kind of dirt IS ok?
starting early
lean-esque
to remove or not to remove
Not so strict
you know, "places"
not ALL others...
it's emergency room's nickname
"please say"
Our choice
un-ladylike, in spanish
really sarcastic about negative statements
we "love" the earth
not actually upstairs
the people settled
well, not ALL destinations
how much can YOU bare?
"sushi chef"
relational hierarchy
typical video store service
also "great and powerful oz"
"crabs"
note "to dogs"
loiterers, this means you
mixed messages
bwahaha
dirty
quotes as parentheses?
"press" my button
I love the "west"
arms? nose?
cheesesteak with hanging quotations
classic-ish
someone may have won
papers "will be" stopped
visit the ol' "drop & collect"
no checking at all
something like things
or "office"
ha. ha.
made from old jalapenos
Tom Cruise does it?
"no questions asked"
I'd like some "ordinary" corn, please.
A "Book" - you've heard of those?
"airport rage"
it's only a nickname
influence
And I took this cup home
or childlike adults
"____________"
fake polite about tipping
this guy again?
"how old they are?"
"Pick's"
good slogan
please don't clean the restroom
a "routine" post
the trees are saying it
not very expressive
necessary?
fake polite around the world
unnecessary hyphens
what kind of "experience"?
"hold" on a minute
they're "thrilled"
when you want things "good enough"
"gum"
lost in translation
"caution"
I guess technically "dad" is a nickname
"a" restaurant
"do your share" is their catch-phrase
we call it "that drink on the sign"
not YOU....
part-natural
careless
predestined, really
we reserve the right to quit eventually
whenever we feel like it
"don't forget"
how personal?
"waste toner bottle" or whatever
it's a nickname
it's like a guard is saying it
vegetarian?
or a slogan
Dropping out
Actually Hi-Fi
not made out of eggs
actually a front for the mob
turn it "off"
clearly a euphemism
unless you want to be SWEET
is it damaged or not?
almost all
pease
harry up!
ambiguous preposition
