I have to leave a shout out to my buddy S.D. Rhodes who runs bushleaguefactor.com. I honestly cannot help myself from laughing out loud when reading that site.
The primary point of the site is the review and rating of the logos of various minor league sports teams, from hockey and baseball leagues. But the true gems are in the “Other” section where all bets are off, and all topics are discussed.
I just finished picking myself up off the floor from reading “11-11-11”, a comment on the absurdity of people trying to attach significance to November 11th, 2011. A number of valid points in the post like:
Numerology, for those who don't know, was invented so that even people who believe in astrology would have someone to point and laugh at for being so gullible.
Another of my personal favourites from the site is “My Life of Crime” …
My wife and I have embarked on a life of crime. I was informed of this in no uncertain terms recently by the town government for the town I live in. I received this letter with official letterheard which stated "NOTIFICATION OF VIOLATION". Actually, the words were in mixed case, but I'm trying to convey how bloody huge these letters were. It was in something like 36 point type, using the Courier font, which meant the line looked like it had been written using the Jolly Green Giant's typewriter. I can only imagine trying to type on a typewriter big enough to create letters that size. Have you ever seen cartoons that show an ant or some similar creature typing by jumping from key to key? I picture a man doing that with a typewriter the size of a large desk.
