Main/Specialty: Thai. Very nicely laid out – Eat in or outside – no they are not balloons on the walls. Condom photos everywhere, with lots of condom paraphernalia adorning the walls etc. (Started by the Minister for Family Planning (Khun Mechai) several years ago to heighten the awareness of safe sex) Heaps on offer with an English Menu. This is an enticing restaurant – it welcomes you from the Soi; the ambience is quiet and the decorations ‘interesting’. The check/bill came with a condom.

Oh yeah- there's another touristy kind of restaurant, Bangkok, Thailand, on Convent Rd., off Silom, near Patpong Night Market: Prik Kee Nuu
Means Rat Sh*t Chili (the truly hot variety)

Also off Soi Convent is a restaurant called the Eat Me Art Restaurant, located upstairs of an art gallery of the same name. Apparently very popular with the gay clientele...

Not as hilarious but elegant in its simplicity is the lighted sign on a 50-foot pole posted at an exit on Westbound I-84 somewhere around Boise as I recall. It contains six letters only so is visible for upwards of a quarter mile:
E A T
G A S
Despite many trips on this Interstate, so far I've managed to resist the temptation to stop in. Any recommendations?

Yesterday while driving on Hwy. 206 near Chester NJ, there was a roach-coach type vehicle parked near a VFW post called "The Wee Wee Wagon" (with a couple of dancing hotdogs painted on the side).

Norman, Oklahoma has a bar named "The Library", right across the street from the OU campus.
There's a sandwich joint in OKC called "Someplace Else".
Neither is particularly suggestive of either cuisine or entertainment, but they do sorta spell out a student's choice, "Ya wanna go to the Library or Someplace Else?"
