Ok, if these quotes indicate sarcastic (rather than authentic) laughter, they are right on. But it's still amusing, as is the awkward syntax. Thanks, Claire.
I think the "haha" quotes almost work because it's you laughing, not the author. But what about the quotes around the "AAA" battery? Not to mention the lack of an article.
This troubles me deeply. Does this mean that it contains a so-called AAA battery, which is actually a cheap Chinese impostor that does not meet the specifications of a real AAA battery? Or, should we use one of the A's as the missing article, which means it contains a AA battery.
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 feel like getting an electric shock.

Maybe instead of there being a battery(as in one) it means that there are A A A batteries(as in three). Thus producing said electrical shock.
Sounds like fun either way. Like sticking your tongue on a 9 volt battery.
I have this sudden urge to get shocked. "haha"
where is this thing from?
Feels like an electric shock. Now that's a "selling point".
I found it in a magic trick shop in Singapore. I think it was a fake mp3 player that gives people a slight shock.
There actually should be quotes around "MP3 player," since I don't think it really is one.
very rarely do i actually laugh "haha." but i ALWAYS feel like getting an electric shock, on account of the coolness and the excitement.
