You might be interested to know what Sinden.org visitors have been looking for lately:
- panda - The ever popular "panda" has brought more people to Sinden.org than the fact that we sell diphthongs.
- mypipes.org - is close behind, probably because I'm the number one Google result for it at this point.
- Holtkamp martini organ - If you have a Holtkamp and you have a martini, you have the makings of a good time.
- UK teen modeling - None to be had here, sorry. Unless you mean that picture of William Crotch. That's actually UK pre-teen portraiture. Very different. But I'm sure you'll keep finding your way back after this.
- Victoria Osteen pictures - Absolutely not. Never have, never will. Unless someone caught her hitting a flight attendant on camera. That would be fun.
- Grandpa Val's Beef Jerky - Ah yes. All admirer's of Grandpa Val and his delicious beef jerky are welcome here. Do I start a fan page?
In a popular book about punctuation I was thumbing through recently, the author mentioned that Lands' End refuses to recognize that there is anything wrong with their name. A quick trip to their website, however, revealed something different:
...a lot of people ask why the apostrophe in Lands' End is in the wrong place. There have been some silly explanations along the way, but the truth is, it was a mistake.
It was a typo in our first printed piece, and we couldn't afford to reprint and correct it.
In the years since, the misplaced apostrophe has continued to grace our name and our label. And while it has prompted some raised eyebrows among English teachers, it also sets us apart as a company whose continuing concern for what's best for the customer is unmistakably human.
Does correct punctuation excuse poor journalism and fact-checking? Time to take that book off of my Wish List.
Tangents:
- How weird is it that I found a picture of a Lands' End Panda?
- In looking for the appropriate panda picture, I came across a panda driving a car
- Seeing that image was hosted at Columbia caused me to be reminded of the Reading on a Dream: the Library Musical, perhaps my favorite song about a library ever.
- Sadly, no pandas are involved in the Library Musical. This is an oversight, and should be corrected.
