Alright, let's be honest here. How long did it take you to realize the third "s" in Bub's Conces5ion stand was really a 5?

Far longer than it should have.

Wow. I suddenly seem to have been transported into a parallel universe where the final s in Bubs Concession Stand is really a 5. I'm not known for my powers of observation

I didn't notice for a while, but that's because TBC were still using the old stand design when I first went to the site, and then I stopped for a few years, and when I returned, I didn't really know leet, but didn't notice for things like the fact that an S and a 5 in impact look kinda the same. Once I picked up on leet, then I noticed and thought 'heh, oh you guys'.

Noticed it pretty much as soon as I saw it. Or maybe it took a few toons. I don't remember. Though I don't remember having any sort of "Oh! That's a 5!" moment.

Who knows? It's not something that registers. "Oh, hey, that S is a 5." It's just read as is.

I don't think it's leet so much as Bubs not having enough letters.

I think it is more like a reference to leet but also to those signs you see when driving by restaurants that are made in the same style as the sign for Bubs' stand that often will have something spelled wrong in it.

Well, that issue aside, I didn't pick up on the idea that a 5 could be read as an S until like, 01 or 02 *shrug*

As for that deal, I think it could be either. Yeah, I'm so helpful!

I think I first noticed when I first saw "personal favorites", which was one of the first few emails I saw.
