Mistakes were almost made in some recent proposed postings.
- The profanity laced diatribe that was nearly uploaded for public consumption on 9/24/09, was originally intended to be a helium filled, smiley face mylar balloon.
- That group shot of the Elvis tribute artists originally slated to run on 10/18/09, but didn’t? Well, it turns out that Burgher Wanstead of Port Huron, Michigan was not the third from the left in the fifth row, after all. He was in fact, sitting cross legged in the front making the peace sign or the victory sign. It’s hard to tell which.
- The Russian Tea Biscuit recipe that almost saw the light of day on 11/21 of this year calls for cinnamon and not halibut.
- That 500 word condemnation of the guy in Sparks, Nevada, for admitting to being a philatelist? It’s a good thing that never ran on 12/04/09, my friend. Because, as it turns out, being a philatelist isn’t quite as bad as it sounds. (not that you’d want your kid to marry one.)
- The photo that nearly appeared on 12/12/09 with the caption “Johnny’s new iPod Nano”, was, in fact, a snapshot of a half finished bowl of Cheerios taken at a Virginia Beach Diner in the Summer of 2005.
- The scathing review of the road company production of “Wicked”, which was this close to being published here on 12/17/09, was, in reality, my seventh grade book review of “Silas Marner”. Because it scored a generous B minus from Sister Mary Patrick, I was thinking, hey, I might actually get away with it.
- On the evening of 12/19/09, I regret nearly spending way too much of your time and mine defining the dozens of subtle differences between a derby and a bowler.
We deeply regret almost making these egregious errors.
