Yeah, yeah, the slogan thing. But isn't it better to imagine that they don't, in fact, light anything? Or that, action movie one-liner style, they light things on FIRE?? Thanks to contributing editor, Jim.
Ditto! "Lighting up the holidays" sounds like Santa and the boys down in the workshop are going to put on a little Bob Marley and celebrate with a joint or two.
Really, anonymous? Who said it? You can't just randomly quote testimonials and not credit the person who said it. That would be irresponsible and... improper.
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.

As someone who has worked for newspapers for a few years now, all I can say about this blog in general is: Thank you. And God bless us, every one.
I think the sign proclaims someone is planning on getting good and stoned this christmas

Sorry smarties. This is actually a proper use of quotation marks. The marks are surrounding a statement or testimonial by a person.
This is a fun site and all, but using quotation marks to mark a quotation isn't ironic, it is correct.
people just don't read faq's like they used to.

Still... I'd like to see a period at the end of that slogan, preferably before the close quote.
