I'm trying to figure out if it's a business that went under and if the misspelling of "peace" is deliberate with significance or not.

I know...I know...the person meant to say, "Farewell to Mom's...may you rest in pizza."

Since we aren't getting an explanation about the original intent of this thread, I'll pass the time by mentioning my favorite scene from the cult classic horror movie Evil Dead 2. The protagonist, finding that his hand has become possessed by a demonic force that is trying to kill him, realizes he must cut off his hand to save himself, then traps it under a bucket and weighs it down with a book. The camera zooms in and, you guessed it, his severed hand is trapped under A Farewell to Arms.

Now THAT'S funny. Clever stuff from a pre-Spiderman Sam Raimi.

Adam, you don't know the half of it. Winston is one of the great pop culture vultures you'll ever meet. (I suspect he has a copy of Prof. Frink's doctoral dissertation somewhere.) But he doesn't know what both kinds of music are or who played in Murphy and the Murphtones. And forget about ordering an orange whip.

Kinda tragic really.
