We Specialize in the Unique and Unusual

Now Times square has been cleaned up and Disneyfied (booooo!,) you'll find saucyness in strange places. This purveyor of porn is opposite Phoenix, a jewelry supply store on 37th street between 5th and 6th. My intentions were pure, I was shopping for stones to make bridesmaids jewelry for a friend. But while I was waiting, I was sipping my coffee and staring at the great signs opposite. I wonder what constitutes 'Regular videos'? And isn't Kinematics the study of bodies in motion?

aah, catherine as soon as you see raunchy clothes in the store windows you have to know that there is more raunchiness inside. but your like my wife, you are not accustomed to shopping in those stores so you are intrigued by the hidden sex that lingers within and you know not to go in. and those people who are attracted know its there and they enjoy the flesh and kinematics, which i believe kine is film so the matics must be the mechaniations of film and so porn wants to become legit and use film industry lingo. which means that good old porn is now the study of the human body and human form in an artsy style.

i think that it would be a good idea to go in and ask exactly what unique and unusual things they specialise in. and write them down in a list, and go 'mmm', 'ok', 'i see', and 'what else?' until they have explained themselves to your satisfaction.
i think it would be good to know what their working definition of 'unique' and 'unusual' might be, and whether they really know the meaning of the word 'unique'. and it might be worth suggesting that they could be sued under the 'pedantry act of nineteen canteen' and see how they like them apples.

Ok. I will dirty-up my raincoat and shuffle in there and ask what constitutes 'unique and unusual.' I doubt that they would truly be able to surprise me. I'll get back to you all.

yay!
it would be quite interesting if they could surprise you, but you may have to arrest them under the misuse of words act.

Biff: That would be very unico...
