Eleator?

 

I’m so pleased to report that I’ve discovered something other than a misplaced apostrophe! Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if this weren’t intentional, but still. I watch Showtime’s Shameless, usually recorded on DVR. This week, when Sheila was afraid that Frank had either left her or died, she searched for clues of his disappearance online. I paused the show on my way to the kitchen to get some delicious Pirate Booty, and when I came back, I discovered this:

No joke! That’s seriously where I paused it. It’s like I was meant to discover the missing “V”. I’ll be darned. I wonder whose head they found in the eleator.

We need to educate the world about the stinking apostrophe.

Here we go again with the damned apostrophe. I mean, I really believe that there’s a general lack of understanding about the apostrophe which leads people to feel the need to shove it in anywhere that there’s any form of the letter ‘S’ involved. And I realize that this isn’t a super-professional sign. Obviously some super-bored teenaged employee printed this sign up on the office computer at Tom’s Farms. This sign was at the ticket booth where they sell tickets to the carousel, the trains and the tractor’s. Note that showtime’s for the magic show are 12 and 2pm. How come there are pony rides instead of pony ride’s? I just don’t get it. It’s all about consistency, people! If there’s something that you just don’t understand, you just have to be consistent in your usage. That way, if anyone ever calls you out on it, you can smugly explain that that’s the way you like to do it. Example: I always spell the word ‘gray’ with an E. I prefer ‘grey’. I don’t care what anyone else thinks about it. And I always say ‘anyways’ instead of ‘anyway’ and I really don’t give a damn what anyone has to say about it. But really, the stinking apostrophe just makes a person look stupid. Turning a plural into a possessive reeks of ignorance. But, anyways, who really care’s?

It’s been a while

I realize that it has been a ridiculously long time, but I have been distracted and discouraged because of many different factors. However, now that I realize that I can use my iPod to potentially update this blog, there may be a chance that I can keep up here. Let’s just see if this posts correctly.

Here’s a place where you can go to get your nail’s done if you’re in O.B. (It’s probably too far away to read but that’s the problem with shooting with an iPod from a moving car.)
