Eye Catcher ~ Theme Thursday Image for 06.24.04

EyeCatcherFU.jpg
The Best FU

I see many makes, models and types of vehicles on my ninety-mile round trip commute. Mostly I see your typical plain Jane automible in an average condition; unwashed, flat colors, dents and dings. Or I see a redneck mobile. How can you tell a redneck mobile, either truck or car? Because they are always two colors and one of those colors is always primer gray! Or I see a plethora of small cars that are all "riced out" with the addition of huge spoilers, oversized mufflers, chrome wheels, and racing stripes. Those are usually Honda Civics... go figure.

About a month a go I spotted the above bright green and purple (with a little red here and there) SUV parked in a shopping center. The colors were the first thing to cath my eye. Well actually they yanked my eyes almost right out of my head and that was the point. Then I saw the slogans. The Best "FU" In Town and Come To Momma!. OH BEHAVE BABY! I had to pull into the shopping center and see what this was all about. Their advertising worked as planned and I found a cool new restaurant called Momma Fu's Noddle House and I love noddles. I have yet to eat at the restaurant because when I spotted the truck the restaurant was still under the finishing stages of construction. They are open now. Maybe Jenne and I will go eat their this weekend and I'll write a review. Anyway the above photos are my submission for this week's Theme Thursday challenge of Eye-Catcher.

Mama Fu's is a chain - more info here:

They're apparently moving into the area wit' a quickness. Their "Locations" page shows a store in Rockville, and 6 new locations planned for the Baltimore area.

Thnx for your note, Will: It didn't surprise me at all! :)

On Curaçao (Neth. Antilles) I know a Chinese restaurant by the name of Ku Yu Fuk! (Sorry ppl, no offence)

You can imagine how many times their billboard has been snapped for the last couple of years! :D
