Typo #3

Seriously? The Commercial Appeal spelling "winners" incorrectly? That's just... Oh, never mind!

(This one's not as funny as the other ones, just a little surprising. Well GM feels society already has collapsed, based on our use of language... )

Pirouline Packaging

My dad recently got a little tin of Pirouline cookies from some Secret Santa thing.

Yeah these things.

Anyway, as I ate one, I read the stuff on the packaging. (I read the packaging of just about everything I eat. The reason? I don't know... Maybe to check for funny typos or make sure the food isn't 90% genetically engineered or something?)

The first thing I noticed was the stuff written around the lid.
Now, I didn't notice any weirdness the first time I read it, but later, I was shocked by the sentence's technical "unclarity."
"Enjoy as a snack with coffee, tea, ice cream, after dinner drinks, family and friends."
See how the first four things listed and highlighted blue are food items? The other ones, in red, are probably humans, or at least living things.

If we omit the red part, we get "Enjoy as a snack with coffee, tea, ice cream, after dinner drinks." which means to eat them simultaneously or one after the other. For example, if I do as the lid suggests, I might take a bite of the Pirouline and then sip some tea, or I might put it on my ice cream and eat the ice cream and Pirouline at roughly the same time.
If we omit the blue part, we get "Enjoy as a snack with family and friends." which means, hopefully, to eat the Piroulines in the company of your family and friends.

You can't eat your friends and family or eat Piroulines in the company of a lot of food without looking insane. What a dilemma!

Second of all, there's a little icon on the side/back. There's a recycling symbol accompanied by the words "IT'S A CYLINDRICAL WORLD PLEASE RECYCLE." In case you didn't know, the world, at least the earth, is rather spherical. I'm thinking maybe since they call their Piroulines "cylindrical artisan rolled wafers" or something like that, they wanted to incorporate this idea into the "please recycle" statement.

Well, I'm off to eat another cylindrical artisan rolled wafer sealed with their signature swirl. I will let you guys know if I discover anything else interesting on the packaging.
(Any other interesting packaging tales are welcome down there in the comments.)

What now? You now live it in?
He/she/it probably meant live "in it" which is still an interesting statement...

Should Alec Be An Author?

Alec hasn't posted anything for a long time.
This goes against the Why Not? authorship requirement of posting often.
   So, should Alec be removed from the Why Not team?
RF and I liked Alec's posts because he was so narcissistic and arrogant. That made the post funny.

But, Alec is very lazy. 90% of the time I am on the Internet, Alec is on too. However, he doesn't bother to post at all during that time.


Should Alec be an author? What do you think?



Also, I would have told you who won the Authorship contest, but N hacked into Wendy's account and locked everyone but himself out of it. Therefore, I could not read the contest entries, so if you want to be a part of the Why Not? team make sure N changes the password back.

Somewhat Update

First of all, a guy with a long last name who goes to our school claims to have followed.
We used to have 8 followers...
Now we have......

Still 8 as of 3:57 pm on 12/13/12
Maybe he is following by email instead? Eh

Also, there will be a 5555 contest as expected.
Oh, N returned as well.

Daisy vs Boo

To take a break from studying for exams, I decided to post animal pictures...

This is Daisy, proclaimed "cutest kitten in the world."

This is Boo, called "cutest dog in the world."

Who do you think is cuter or uglier or weirder or whatever comparative adjective you prefer?
