I was willing to dismiss "gym shoes" because some people call the same items tennis shoes or sneakers. However, the "Game Rules" makes them seem less important to obey. Not to mention their concern for your "safety"... thanks to James.
I'm in the sign business and we are constantly fighting the customer over unnecessary punctuation. I guess everyone thinks it's cute. Your site is hilarious though, keep up the good work.
Classic. I'm sure I could go back through my own writing over the years and find some terribly misused quotation marks, though, so I'm not going to laugh too hard for fear of a kick in the ass from karma.
I am "constantly" using "unnecessary" quotation marks. Maybe it makes "words" more "important". Or maybe "people" will think I have a "hidden meaning".....
"Play safe" that is funny, makes you think its up to your interpretation of the word 'safe' on how you conduct yourself in 'gym' class. Ha ha. This is great, I loved reading it.
"Play hard, Play Fair, Play Safe" with emphasis on " Play Safe". These 3 statements are the guidelines for a program called 'Project Adventure' in Physical Education classes these days.
My favorite over punctuation is exclamation points !!! Love your blog!
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I LOVE unnecessary quotation marks! This "Blog of Note" was a lot of fun to read. I think I will include a link on my own blog page!
Just found you. What a "Great" idea for a blog! We love unnecessary quotation marks.
I just found your blog via the "Blogs of note" section. Being a writer myself, I'm finding it quite hilarious! Keep up the "awesome" work. :-D

Fabulous! Thanks for the giggles on this almost Friday evening!
I thought that was funny. I've always loved to see stuff like that. Thanks.
