If It's Intentional, It's Brilliant

Because it is Friday the thirteenth, and because we are choosing to greet this day with optimism instead of paraskevidekatriaphobia, we have decided that this sign — on its face incorrect — is intended to prove the very point it's making.

You don't have to be perfect to be lovable. And so we love it, just (as it) is.

...

Actually, no.

We tried this optimism thing for the length of one ellipsis, and we can't do it. We just can't.

So forget optimism, at least when it comes to vinyl wall decals. Buyer, beware. Also, watch out for black cats. And for the love of all that is right, don't buy wall art that has antlers growing out of the letters. That's mad tacky, people.

It is bad luck to be superstitious.

Martha, you say many funny things in this post, but I really like your warning: "don't buy wall art that has antlers growing out of the letters." That reminded me of something I saw recently: antlers growing out of an exclamation point:

Craig, I would like that in vinyl for my wall. An infinite-point exclamation point!
