No Appetizers for Eons

The 15 Minute Dating Blog proves that the J Geils Band was right on a frighteningly regular basis.
Note to ubiquetous so -called "quirky" dating blogs that are really shilling for some online dating service or aging "lifestyle" columnist from old media: do not contact me, in fact- fuck right off home.
This is the only type of dating blog worth mentioning and says more about the indominatable human spirit than anything else I can imagine at the moment.

The Miracle Of Forgotten Eyewear- Blogged At last

The hopefully named Pince-Nez Renaissance blogs about those tiny , limbless glasses that you thought only Teddy Roosevelt and Hercuel Poirot wore.
What's amazing about this blog is not so much the narrowcasting of the subject matter, but the frequency with which he posts.
It's all pince-nez, all the time. There's no copouts with posts about Lorgnettes or Monocles just minutia about the demitasse of specs.
In one particularly poigniant post we learn that; "Rimless pince-nez require a hole drilled in the lens for mounting. A federal law went into effect in 1974 which requires safety glass for eyewear. Safety glass cannot be drilled. Thus, glass lenses cannot be fitted to a rimless mounting." which means , in a nutshell, there can be no newly minted pince nez.
More's the pity, this is a style that I would like to see come back because it's so uncool that it's cool.

Marie Antoinette Is Dead-Long Live Cake Wrecks!

If you make a professional cake that is just plain wrong, ill advised , or ruined by illiteracy, bad grammer or a tenuous grasp of the rudiments of punctuation ,Cake Wrecks will find you and baptize you with the razor sharp cake knife of pastery snark.
My favorite ones are the sheet cakes that try to be all things to all people, with Disney characters mixed with sports logos for 4 year old kids.
Also featured are expensive cakes commissioned for promotional events that are tawdry , insensitive and look like crap. Marvelous.
Also, don't send pictures of that one Wal-Mart "under neat that" cake , non pro cakes and excessively gory or obscene cakes ,or the giant toilet cake. you are preceeded by an army of inbox stuffing degenerates.

"There's No Sucess Like Failure. And Failure's No Sucess At All....." *

FailBlog documents uhm, failure in all aspects of modern life. A marvelous tableau ,somewhat ruined by the LOL cats editorializing of most of the graphics. At left is the crash of a blimp (which anyone could see coming,really) to promote XFL Arena Football. Doesn't that count as two failures?

Intellectual detournment of old illustrations has not been seen since its heyday in the mid 80's mail art scene -and certainly not of this caliber.

Damn! Will You Lookit that Blog Whydoncha, It's.... Huge!

James loves Comically Large Things And who doesn't?
Oversized novelty checks presented to contest winners, Civic- pride minded gargantuan monuments to small town's chief exports, things embiggened for the sake of comedy, it's all here and crowding off the page.
It reminds one of Batman co-creator Bill Finger whose Batman stories often featured giant props like pennies, pencils, and a huge typewriter.

Blogs Are Stupid

But Ask A Dumb Guy is pretty funny. I love the fact that he has to include a disclaimer that this stuff is satire.
Now who's the dumb guy?

What The "L"?

Blog lowercase L asks an intruiging two-fold question;
"Ever notice hand-written signs with letters in all-caps, except for the letter L? It looks like an uppercase i ... WHY DO PEOPlE WRITE lIKE THIS? "

Yeah, Why do they?
It couldn't be because the descender on a capital "l" creates an unatural amount of space that may greatly affect the overal design.
People who make handmade signs don't consider design, or kearning, which font designers do.

Still though, I applaud linguistic nitpicking, especially if it has photographic evidence.
