so how did the insane kitteh posseh fare?

Guess the company never heard of spell-check.

Well that's certainly a...creative spelling.

mmmmm certifiable!!!!

he's ed-ju-kate-ed!

Interesting to see what W. Bush does as a side job.

They say a lot of geniuses have a hard time spelling words correctly. I've got the feeling that in this instance that theory is not applicable.

Was your house and the kids okay after the earthquake?

I love it! I'm all for new words!

We spel fonetically in deese pards

Well, praps he haz cheesburger...cerdafied onez.

Isn't cerda pig in Spanish?

Oh dear! That reminds me of Eduardo's Lawn Care "Centeer" card. He does "waldways" and many other things misspelled. It makes me so sad when people make spelling mistakes on their professional stuff.

Glad you are safe - First thing I though was "I hope Crazy Aunt Purl is OK"

I left a set of steel shelves out for a charity & they didn't take them, but a left a note which said "dish to old." O-kay.

"cerdo" is pig in Spanish ... so at first I thought it read "Cerdo Fried" -- as in Fried Pig in Splangish.

That would be "Spanglish"

Nice! At least everyone can figure out what they are trying to say. The real question I have is what is it cerda-fied for?

Guess he done grad-ji-ated sixth grade and can be one of them brain sur-juns!

Might be that the owner's last name is Cerda (it literally means female pig, but it is a Spanish last name.)

Maybe they are making a play on words using the company name. http://www.cerdaindustries.com/

Cute!

He may have been "Cerda-fried" when he had the sign made.

Glad you are okay!!!

There is a plastering company in Reseda, CA by that name. Maybe one & the same? I am just HOPING nobody is that bad of a speller!

The kitties need one that says "Serta-Fied". For the professional sleepers.

Is that how they spell over there?? Too funny!!

I was just going to post about the plastering company, but Lesli beat me to it.

I got some foodie PR spam in my mailbox the other day telling me to "Go green for the planet and your pallet." I do have a few pallets in the garage to keep stuff off the concrete, but I don't think that's what they mean.

*sigh*

I am impressed at your ability to drive and take photos simultaneously. And non blurry ones at that!

haha How do you take these pictures while driving? or do you? it always amazes me :) thanks for the laugh

I'm going with it's Piggy-fied

Well, you did see them driving in L.A., right?

My first though was "what does fied mean" because cerda is as mentioned previously the spanish word for pig, but apparently it doesn't mean anything. Doing a google search for Cerda Fied brings up a company that trains gun dogs. Wonder if he is a hunter. Then again it is possible he just can't spell.

Oooooo - kayyyyyyyyy . . . :-)

Per the quake - enormously glad you, building, home and kitties OK. I really like the urban commute pix...and absolutely no idea on the sign/bumper sticker.

I never see interesting things like this on my commute!

In a world where almost no one can get the difference between "your" and "you're", this is not at all surprising.

In my area, there's a brick building with very large painted letters that read "Action Plumbing Supply's". I wouldn't give that place my business for any reason.

If you sold mattresses you would be 'Serta-fied'

As the owner of a sign shop, we come across a lot of silly things people want to put on their vehicles. Spelling & correct grammar is very important and we do our best to give customers correct signage.

As for what people want anyway, that is their choice. Please, commenters, don't blame the lowly sign shop - we only make what is asked of us!

Cerda in Spanish means girl pig.

I've been a graphic artist for a long while, but I worked in a copy shop for a while and got to deal with walk-in customers.

The biggest mistake I made (according to customers) was correcting their spelling. I was constantly told that I had typed correctly spelled words wrong.

I can't tell you how many times I've shown customers a dictionary entry and had them say, "Well, look at that! The dictionary has it spelled wrong, too!"

Maybe the auto repair place in Hemet? It's a hike from LA, but perhaps...

I know this is hard to pull off while driving, because you might be drinking coffee, and talking on you cell phone (people still are!) but if you could snap a pic off the side of the truck of their phone no. we'll call them up and see what the hell they're talking about.

¡Es un retruécano, amigos ingleses!
Ees not spelling misteak!

sorta like bonafide, but not as good.

laughing out loyud at last anonymous

It's a play on words to capture both Latino and English customers. It's no mistake. When you say the word certified in Spanish, that's how it sounds cerda fied (I know it's Spanglish, but that's what we do). Non-English speaking Latinos know that cerda fied is certified.

Hook-ed on pa-hon-ics work-ed for meh.
