That's right kids, that is a funny looking ampersand with quotation marks around it. Awesome. And there are elipses missing a period. And I have no idea what it means. I love this sign. Thanks for sending it to me, Sarah.

The Symbol Formerly Known as Ampersand looks like it's practicing Tai Chi or Kama Sutra
I think that's actually just a drawing of a single piece of rotini pasta. So this must be a place where you can finance Italian food...
We shall create a new punctuation!
It shall be two dots, raised slightly above baseline!
And it shall be known as…
the semipause!
I guess it isn’t an AND. So maybe it’s an XOR?
“Buy here!••Or pay here!••But don’t do both!”
this might be the best sign for this site EVER! well captured, Sarah!
This one goes to the top of my list! Not only is the sign full of unnecessary and meaningless punctuation, but whole sign itself is unnecessary and meaningless. It's a "perfect storm" of pointless!
I thought the elipses missing a period were additional quotation marks that made even less sense than those around the questionable ampersand.
Crystal is right; I think those might be the very rare compass point unnecessary quotation marks. The tapeworm-style ampersand was of such importance that it needed quotation marks not only left and right, but above and below.
I was right there with you Crystal! And anon.- "compass point quotation marks"! You slay me.
That is hilarious.
I love your blog. That unnecessary quotation shit annoys me to no end. I fear where the English "language" is headed.
And there are elipses missing a period.
And "elipses" is missing an "l."
Tut...tut.
