telling you about the status quo


Examples of "changes": gym now features treadmills, ten pound weights weigh ten pounds, locker rooms smell funny. Thanks, J.

I gotta tell you, this made me laugh like a stupid person at 6 in the morning when I first saw it.

"We will never give your information to anyone else." Did they cross their heart and hope to die when they wrote that? I have my doubts.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what they were trying to say with those quotes. It doesn't even make sense if it was for emphasis. So weird. And what's with the random capitalization?

Hmm.

I love your blog. It's my favorite new find. (I was so tempted to put the word find in quotations. Original, huh?)

I just found you, O Wise One.
My thing is misused possessives, and I have a sneaky fondness for apostrophes, as in Greetings Club Members. Sounds like a nice club.

Not sure what bugs me more. It's either the incorrect use of quotation marks or the comma sitting outside of them.

I mean period. :)

Sarah said...

Hey now. The period logically belongs outside the quotation marks. The only reason us Americans put it inside is because centuries-old printing technology couldn't handle it otherwise.

What's a greetings club?

Maybe Greetings Club is the group of people who organize Welcome Wagons.

The sign actually says nothing about a gym. Just a "club".

I am worried that I will never accomplish all the things I have so long dreamed of achieving, now that I am glued to your site and laughing maniacally.
