Editorial Gems for a Steamy Friday


Anyone for a few more Great Moments in Editing?  I thought so.  Here you are ...

First, a couple of can't-miss happy hour specials ...


and,


If you overdo it with that free beer, it might mean you have a problem. Fortunately, help is available ... and they might even protect your confidentiality (more than WikiLeaks* would, anyhow) ...


I'm not a particular fan of lawyers hawking their services to help you get money for diseases you never heard of before, but they do provide a useful service ... and sometimes at reduced prices! ...


Whoever posted this ad may need to hold on to that ad from Mr Simmons ...


When you just don't know what to fix for dinner, there are always interesting new dishes to try ...


Or, you could just go with whatever is on sale, no matter how fresh it is ...


Truth in advertising? ...


And we finish with two of the most bizarre headlines I've seen outside of reporting on the activities** of Congress ...


And, finally, you have to wonder what kind of party this fellow was going to ...


And that's your dose of editorial gems for the first Friday in August. If I can just get through today, it ought to be a good weekend ... there's a BrickFair Lego Fan Festival at the Dulles Expo Center (complete with play area!). And, of course, tomorrow is Cartoon Saturday, and you don't want to miss that.

Have a good day and a great weekend. Come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday.

More thoughts then.

Condoms and octopus? For safe Japanese tentacle porn, I presume?

I'll pass on the happy hour.

I wondered about the octopus also.

I wonder about that free beer in the second ad.

And the better strategy for the two-time divorcee is simply to live with #2 without marriage.

That one about the missing woman was funny but then I read the bit underneath it too. Whats that about? This is a strange section of the newspaper...

"Dressed as a Snickers bar"

Strange dude.

My bar special didn't go over to big. Maybe if I try 1 for 3 next time.
