Just For Fun

Ever have one of those days where you just need a good laugh? Well, bookmark these blogs for your next one-of-those-days:

The first one is a blog entirely devoted to beards. But not beards in a weird guy-thing kind of way (sorry guys), beards in an artsy kind of way. Erin, the beard-y blogger, makes beards of all kinds (along with other kinds of art) and seeks out other artsy beards to share on her blog. The whole blog just makes me smile and it gives me hope: There are really all kinds of things to specialize in. And, I admit it: I secretly want one of her beards. My favorite is the Lumberjack model.

The second one is the "blog" of "unnecessary" quotation marks, which devotes itself to quotation marks that are used for emphasis rather than to "set off and represent exact language (either spoken or written) that has come from somebody else," or to imply irony, as in air quotes (thank you to Purdue University's online writing resources page for this succinct, accurate, and duly quoted definition). Many a day-long laugh have I had over some of the posts on this blog.

And now I am just waiting for: "Who's Blog Is It, Anyway? - The Blog of the Improper Use of the Possessive." I think my friend, J. (you know who you are: Ribbon's and Rose's), should start that one up.

Have a laugh-y Friday.
