they’re invading our malls

Build-A-Bear Workshop is a chain of stores that let you build your own teddy bear — you pick how stuffed it is, what it wears, its name, that sort of thing. One just opened in the Bayshore Shopping Centre in the west end, so they had a little feature story on the local A Channel morning show, with one of the hosts broadcasting from the store, etc.

Anyhow, out in front of the store they have a big sign, shaped like a stop sign, that reads:

STOP HERE FOR FURRY FUN!

Uh, guys? I don’t think that… oh, nevermind.

    Now that I think about it, there were mascots in fursuits running around in the store. I wish I had time to take a picture of them posed by the sign or something.

    Note: calitalization of “Bear”
    Also note: commanding phrase that begs for an implied dammit
