As if it weren’t bad enough… Language researcher that I am, I don’t know why I didn’t see this before: The sign is in (as it were) “See Quim“, Washington.
I stand corrected. The city’s website doesn’t help, at least not at first glance, but Wikipedia tells you right at the top that the “e” is silent. /skwIm/, like “squid” till you get to the end.
I had to research that when I was visiting Sequim last year. Apparently the Kitchen family and the Dick family got in a slapfight about who got to have the road named after them.
OK…You go down Woodcock…make a left at Kitchen-Dick…then turn right at Vagina-Penis Way, then my house is at the end of the cul-de-sack…it’s the flesh coloured and brown curly haired house on the left. 6969 Vagina-Penis Way. Can’t wait to see you come!!
I agree with Poco – I’ve seen this pic before in the mid-80’s in National Lampoon’s “True Facts” section, which was a collection of funny sign photos just like “Oddly Specific”.
I had to find them. They are in Sequim, WA.
I didn’t believe it either, but there it is. See Collins Photography”
Yeah, right near Dungeness Spit.
hey! i know where that is! it’s right next to my friend krissy’s parents’ house… 8)
A rainbow svastica? Realy?!?!?!
yeah, with an “AUM” in the middle… it’s an example of what the swastika might be today if it weren’t for the nazis
it’s also the swastika that is outside of the hindu temple in neasden, london.
ive said it before and ill say it again… secret nazis are really hidden hindus.
secret nazis are ignorant, mislead hindus, if they’re anything…
so your saying it would look like a gay pride symbol?
hmmm……..
no, i’m saying that it looks like a rainbow swastika, what’s so difficult about that?
There used to be a sign there advertising weiner pigs! lulz
I know this pic! It was published by the Harvard Lampoon ohhh….. thirty years ago. It’s literally older than the internet.
The internet is older then 30 years.
I long for the good old days of telnet and http://ftp... before the dark times, before the MS Empire…
This auto-corrected. Just f t p
technically you’re right, but it has only been public since the early 1990’s, which I’m sure is what Poco is referring to
Funny, since I took the photo last July. Curse those Lampooners and their time-traveling photo-thievery!
I don’t see how this is oddly specific…at all…
More like overtly beavis and buttheaded.
Yeah I know it is a dated reference too, but then so is this photo. 😀
Agreed, doesn’t fit the format.
I think oddlyspecific.com has turned more into signsthatareamusing.com.
“I live at the corner of Kitchen-Dick and Woodcock.”
“BAHAHAHAHAHAA”
Thanks, that was insightful!
thats wat i was thinking too!
Must be where Gordon Ramsey lives….1313 Kitchen-Dick Rd
I’ve been there…I was going to post it on FailBlog but never did 🙂
And what’s so bad about a detective with a cooking hobby and wooden poultry?
Nice one, Láthspell! — Is there a Gríma around, too?
No, I sent him to buy me some tampons.
I kid you not, my grandmother lives less than a mile from that sign, just off of Woodcock Rd. I ‘ve been there, and it is indeed in Sequim, WA.

only tourists pronounce it “see-quim”… 8/
“I’m a language researcher!! I am special!!”
It is in Sequim, WA (Pronounced ‘Skwim’)
Bin there, dun that. Read on, at least as far as the next comment (September 20, 2010 at 2:57 pm).

Yep the golf course is right off woodcock, always fun to drive past that sign with a bus of teenage boys when we played Sequim in high school.
i live on that corner. its real
I once had a boss whose last name was BADcock. (No, NOT Babcock) And he was a total wienie.
The kids around here like to paint over the K in Kitchen, sometimes the just put green tape over it.
I got married on Kitchen-Dick. So did my wife.
For reals.

Oh, it’s you. That person who not only doesn’t know when to stop, but who shouldn’t have started in the first place.
gross….. just gross
