I love that this "blog" exists! For as long as I've known my mother-in-law (20 years this year, if I'm doing the "math" correctly), she sends greeting cards in which she "encloses in quotations" the words she particularly wants to emphasize. F'rinstance:
Doggerel doggerel doggerel You're a "great" daughter-in-law! More thumping bad poetry The "best" we ever saw!
Love it! If she only did it to my cards, I'd assume she actually meant the quotations accurately as irony, in-law relationships being so often strained... but she does it to her son and her grandchildren, and after this long she and I are very close. So she's just mistaken.
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.

not-too-obvious atheist placards ftw.
Maybe the author had intended to say "How could 'u' not be in 'awe'?"...
PERHAPS if it was spelled "ahhh"?
"A Wonderful Experience"
why? why would anyone put awe in quotations?
And that's not to mention the omitted question mark.

I love it! What a great idea for a blog.
I know. As an atheist I am totally in "awe" of this message.
And what does "settled" mean in this context?
Pictures are good....
thanks for sharing...
