My favorite local bagelry went under and got bought out by Blue Sky a few months back.  Sad times for the local place, which was really good, but Blue Sky is pretty good too.

This sign they have up, however – at least how I choose to read it – may be a trifle psychotic.

Blue Sky Bagel.
Now………Bagel.

It’s the dramatic pause that the space indicates, only to be followed up by redundancy and questionable grammar.  Good stuff.

Yeah.

Bagel.

Bene scribete.
