The Boring Store

Dave Eggers and the *826 organization, who run a pirate supply shop in San Francisco and a superhero supply shop in NYC (I've only been to the former), are now opening a Chicago location: The Boring Store. The Boring Store is a purveyor of "openings, aperatures, punctures, perforations, pits, cavities, ditches, craters, crevices and just plan hollows." It is not a secret agent supply store. (via kottke)

The OTHER definition of the word boring, I see. That's confusing to those of us who don't understand that words sometimes have two definitions.

Yeah. I didn't understand the joke. I also thought they were opening a secret agent store for some reason.

Heck, I wrote the darn story and I didn't figure that out until just now. Ouch. Would you post that in the comments in the story?
