    Wow. WANT

  2. IamstillinKansas says:

    Is it a store?
    I would love to know what that is all about because it obviously not squirrel, fish, or alligators and I truly hope that it is not really about squirrel-shaped fish that look like alligators.

    • Seth says:

      Squirrel shaped fish is a famous mandarin dish. The store is a well known store, named after the dish, that sells knock off Izod shirts.

      Five seconds on google, people. Teh Internets: learn to use them.

      • jinx says:

        What I want to know, is how the hell they came up with the idea for calling a food item “squirrel-shaped fish”. Doesn’t sound very appetizing.

        • Seth says:

          Do you remember back in the days before the Internet, how when you wanted to know something you had to ask a smart person, or look it up in a encyclopedia or something? Yeah, that was a long time ago. I mean seriously people, “squirrel shaped fish.” Type it into Google. Read the resulting pages.

          Sigh

          Okay, look. They leave the had and tail attached by a flap of skin, sticking up in a way that looks like a squirrel with its tail in the air. I know this because I’ve spent my entire adult life studying squirrel shaped fish. No, wait, it’s because I typed ’squirrel shaped fish’ into Google and spent two minutes reading.

    Squirrel-shaped fish… eating alligator maybe.

  4. Sarcastik says:

    yeah, well, if you sorta squint your eyes, and tilt your head that way… maybe…

  5. Kit says:

    If they try to feed bread crumbs and worms, or even nuts to these ‘fish’, they’re going to loose a limb. What on earth caused this epic mistranslation, I’ll never know. Someone’s brain got eaten by a squirrel-shaped fish, perhaps.

  6. oneandahalfcents says:

    It’s actually not likely to be an English fail. Squirrel shaped fish refers to a dish fixed for an Emperor long ago in China.

  7. purdlemeow says:

    Gee — here in Florida, we just call ‘em “gators”. Much easier to say.

  8. jill says:

    I’m thinking Izod gone horribly horribly wrong…

  9. 9squirrels says:

    looks like the LaCoste logo to me…

  10. Kortanna says:

    one is a gator (izod) the other is a croc (lacoste)

    but yeah… that sign makes me hungry regardless

  11. D.R. says:

    I don’t know, squirrel-shaped fish sound kind of tasty…

  12. Tony Millionaire says:

    i sawed a pregnant squirrel on time. she was pretty.
