A Cheap Shot but True!

I don't know who's to blame, but the quality of on-the-fly proofing for Channel 9 in OKC has slipped precipitately in the past few years.

From December 12, 2001, we have some illegal "wee."

January 6, 2022:  Is "abrove" freezing higher or lower than freezing?

January 19, 2022.  Accept no "substitues"!

March 3, 2022.  Anybody in the OKC viewing area knows that one of Yukon's main streets is Cornwell Drive.

April 20, 2022. Don't breathe low-"qaultiy" air, it's bad for ya!

  

See you Monday.  Believe it or not, this is only the FIRST installment of my audition for proofreader for Channel 9!

 

So New! So Different! So Foolish!

Yep, that's the first post of this year's APRIL FOOLISHNESS. And a poke at my own high-falutin' self.

Because it turns out I waren't the fustest to have coined the phrase! That honor goes to the master of commentary on the unexplained, John Keel!

The Mothman Prophecies is a 1975 book which I've long owned in the paperback printing, having read at least a half-dozen times.  On a recent reread, I came across a chapter header which made me feel like a thief!

Yup, on page 104 is the term I hoped I'd originated!  (In the chapter title, in case you've got Headline Blindness.)

Well, I cannot promise you any purple lights, but there's plenty of silliness for the rest of this month.  Please join us!  See you Thursday!
