Mr Peeps.

On the way to a store called "Fabric Depot" aka 1.7 acres of fabric goodness, we noted that there was a very interesting place across the street.  Here is a pic of it.

Questions abound...

1.  What exactly is XX and how does it compare to XXX?  Is there X as well?
2.  The term "PEEP HOLE super store" really confuses me.  Do they have a selection of

Chris takes the BEST piccys!

Pity about the Piggy - man did the sun set fast!

I have a question to add to your list:

4. Is Mr. Peep the owners real name? Is it more of a nom de porn?

But that is HILARIOUS

AH. Don't you love my city? We have all kinds of porn like that. Just down the road from my place is the Acropolis where you can get killer steaks (the owners has Angus cattle) and strippers in the same place. Then there's the Dolphin. I have no idea why it's called that, but there is a lovely plastic leaping Dolphin in the parking lot. Strip clubs galore, baby. As for the XX rating, I think that's like a star rating so XXX is the good looking strippers, XX is the kinda hot but slightly skanky and X is pregnant, toothless, fat, stinky strippers.

I can't believe someone didn't take you to the Mill Ends store - fucking fantastic linen and wool selections..

I've always had a secret fantasy about supergluing a plastic sex toy to the bottom of that leaping dolphin up front in the middle of the night. It always seemed so out of place. Ooops, did I write that out loud?

Ha! :-)

Reminds me of when I first moved to Calgary.

There was a store called "Meat Liquidators"

I always forgot my camera when I went to that area. Probably for the better.

There are a couple of other signs here in Cowtown that I would like to photograph. Perhaps I will start traveling with my camera.

You totally need to do that! It would complement your jokes well!

Maybe the missing "X" means it's a discount store. For adults. Like, slightly used merchandise?

(since we're trading squeamish stories about cats)

[rectangularcat]

slightly used???? EW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, we need to bring you along next time, i like how you think!

[aelfgyfu]

I have actually been to a pig'n pancake once. It was ok - not up to the marvelousness of the sign though. ;-) Mmmm Portland. More fabric and sleaze than you can shake a, um, something or other at...

Yay! Going to Fabric Despot for my b-day during insane 40% off rabid shopper time this weekend!

More fabric and sleaze than you can shake a, um, something or other at... a town made for me!!!!!!!

40% off rabid shopper time... I was unimpressed by the wool, but the silks, velvets and linens...*yumm* The thread and notions at the Despot were impressive though *drools*

Also do you know you can order Woolrich bolts of wool for wholesale prices...

Nice, now if I just had more $$$. :-P I am actually planning on getting cloth for modern (gasp!) dresses this weekend, since I have looked at the various cheap and more convenient places already. I hate not being able to find just the right fabric. Sigh. At least with medieval stuff I know what the right fabric *is*. Oh well, I should be able to find *something* that will work from Fabric Despot.

[rectangularcat]

wow, someone making modern clothes!!!! yes definitely you will find something there! the patterned silks are so pretty!
