Fuk Yo and The Happy Hookers

I must admit that after moving from a place where the "Bad Ass Coffee" shop had to close down because of people picketing and protesting its name, I'm happy to report that where I live now one can find both the "Fuk Yo" japanese restaurant and "The Happy Hookers" needlepoint/knitting shop.

At first I felt sympathy for the Japanese restaurant, thinking they probably didn't know the language well enough (there's always room for the benefit of doubt in my head), but as we walked in, the first thing we saw was a life-size plastic ET toy with his lit-up finger pointing straight up, palm facing in.  And given that he does not have all five fingers, well...  that's exactly what it was, welcoming all through the door:  ET proudly sitting on a couch and wearing a t-shirt that displayed "FUK YO".

Yes yes yes.  And the sushi is excellent.

Knowing better than before, I didn't even bother to try figure out if the owners of The Happy Hookers spoke English or not.  I'm sure I know the answer.

Giddly going to look for more,
