Huh? (Signs Edition)

[gnomi]

Signs I saw while in Virginia Beach for EPICon:


No Zapf Dingbats?






Ahhh, so that explains it!






This, though, I never figured out.

wow...that sure is a special sign! I though it just meant no swearing. but no wearing revealing clothing? it's a beach, right? that's what beaches are for. *is boggled*

Balconices are in the calypso! The gostak is that which distims the doshes! The mome raths outgrabe!

Clearly I'm in a silly mood and should go back to sleep furiously.

no swearing! heeee. that's really cute.

is a balconice the opposite of a balcomean?

When I googled for "balconice," it got a few hits but suggested "balcanice." Most of the hits for the latter were in Romanian. Maybe it's what they keep their drinks cold with in the Balkans.

Gee, I would have read is as No Wingdings -- makes sense to me!

Man, I violated a lots of Virginia Beach rules, didn't I?

O.o

Sweetie, I think you done did broke all of 'em.

[oldblackbird.livejournal.com]

well, you know me and that whole rule thing...

Well, "balconices" is clearly the plural of "balconix." Since it's in the calypso, it has to be a musical term of some sort. Possibly something loud and startling done by a percussionist.

Perhaps it's a kind of dance step...

Not only is the second sign perplexingly word salad-ish, but my research suggests that it may actually be misinformation. Was your conference here by any chance? If so, *every* room should have a balconice, which need not be confined to the Calypso! (cackles)

It was, in fact, at that hotel. And, yes, every room had a balcony. Not sure about a balconice, however -- I saw no ice on our balcony. :-)
