A cursory online search brought up a winery and a vitamin company with similar names and nearby locales, but that's all. Got to love the two typefaces, though. They create a vibe that's half Fifties SciFi, half Granny making notes on her recipe cards.

Long-distance relationships are tough on both parties, but the magic of pork-infused mayo will keep us close, always! [snif!] Thank you, Martha Logan! Thank you, Swift!

I'm so relieved that they managed to avoid giving Mrs. China yellow skin. Yeah, I know Chop Suey isn't really Chinese food. But I'm counting my blessings.

"Pharaoh," huh? I was hoping for a Sphinx. If it fails to stay synced with the Cosmic Synchro Master Whatsit you get to throw it off a cliff for a full refund.

If that "HARD HITTING Training Manual" ever shows up at any garage sales, like this did, I promise I'll let you know right away. ;)
