From the "Seemed like a good idea at the time" file

I saw this logo/tag on the side of a SW van this morning. Considering BP’s recent peccadOILlo, I’m surprised this wasn't sandblasted off the company fleet posthaste.

Out of the goodness of my heart, I am offering some alternative taglines they might consider should they choose to rebrand.

  • Kill the otters
  • Pump latex into the ocean
  • Shove a ballgag in Mother Nature’s mouth
  • Paint some fish gills closed
  • Categorically eradicate all known flora and fauna
  • Scumble the environment

Your cleft sentence is showing

In 1989, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Las Vegas underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as strippers of fortune. If you have a wad of cash, if no one else can help get you off, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team. To show you their boobies.

But whatever you do, don’t hire them to copyedit your term paper.

“…for find out we’re up to”

Are you serious? I expect my strippers to at least have a minor grasp of grammar. Otherwise, how will they know when they have their period? How will they know what to do with a dangling participle? Will they even be able to master top-down language learning?

I bet if you actually text ATEAM to 89074, your follow-up text would be:

“I want for find out your up to.  Let know. You dollar on skirt and panty.”

Break out the tinfoil fedora

Other upcoming questions at CNN.com: 

- Do you receive radio frequencies through your fillings?
- Was the Holocaust fabricated to make Germans look bad?
- Is Obama going to turn America into a Muslim country this week or next?


Absolutely inane

Found this recent headscratcher over at CNN.com.

Maybe tomorrow they should try this poll:

Is the word 'huh' overused?
o Huh?
o Huh?
