Are you sure they are selling peaches? Sounds like their selling people to me.

who is this 'we' that is charged with guaranteeing taste? is there a difference between the homosexuals, queers, and lesbians? are they referring to taste in style as in fashion, or taste as in actual food flavor? it's amazing...

I don't care how good the peaches were, Tech Master Brian G. should be slapped for giving money to such an establishment.

There's nothing like a giant sign, bad grammar and an incomprehensible message to get your point across.

At least now I know whom to blame for those tasteless peaches I got last week.

Peaches taste different to Queers? Who'da thunk it?

I like how homosexuals, queers and lesbians all got seperate nods

Don't like their peaches, not gonna shake their tree.

It wasn't his money, UB. He was merely the recipient of a peach. Ease up.

Soylent green is people!!

I'd only get this joke if it turns out that these people live in a giant upside down nest that they protect with barrel staves. The weakest amongt them is prodded and pushed out to bring you your order.

Sure, the peaches were delicious, but what about the bait?

A pound of earthworms, an African, 3 peaches, and a Chinese please!

Ruston gets a pass forever because it gave us Jeff Mangum and Neutral Milk Hotel.

NapoleonXIV wins for saying: "Don't like their peaches, not gonna shake their tree."

I think it's implying that the groups mentioned have a more sophisticated palette. Apparently he doesn't know that I like Folgers crystals and eating at Denny's.

This puts me in a quandry; am I a Homosexual or a Queer? Per this sign, I must apparently make a choice...

Oh! I got it. Its a excerpt from the foreword of "To Serve Man".

God damn it! Now the Homosexualists are demanding SPECIAL BAIT 'N' PEACHES too? Where does it all end?

Yummy worms, though, you got to admit.

I've always found Queers quite tasty, but often tasteless (and I wouldn't have us any other way).

I have a finger they can taste.

(And who IS this "Peaches" girl and why they'all keep a'batin' her?)

That sign is totally Photoshopped.

Obviously written by a ferner Republican.

That "The Americans" is thrown in there just makes it even more inexplicable (and entertaining).

See...if I have an African I'll be too full for dinner, but if I have a Chinese I'll be hungry in a half-hour.

Guess I'll have the Russian/queer with cream sauce.

Brent actually it's not photoshopped. As the gf of Brian I can tell you that is 100% the real deal. You have to visit North Louisiana and the Ark La Tex area to fully appreciate the folks who call it home. The peaches were amazing, but his Indian Tomatoes were some of the best damn tomatoes I've ever had.

they get mad when they have to hate too many people.

They should have picked a different fruit for their name. Aren't apples better known for supplying free bait?

We all know people in Louisiana can't spell, where did they import the sign from, a Gay owned shop in NYC?

I suspect it's deliberately ironic, and the joke is on self-righteously bigoted northern hipsters who can't fathom the possibility that anyone in Louisiana is anything but dumb as dirt.

I also suspect some local alt-weekly knkows the story behind the story, and may enjoy a "Waiting for Sluggo" laugh at Stranger's expense.
