Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Please tell me that’s some photoshop gag.
1Awesome!!!
2I must be slow. It took me a full minute to find it!
3Not a joke. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/UTs-LBJ-School-Apologizes-for-Egregious-Typo-152547425.html
4I’ll bet that more than one of these gets framed. Heh-heh.
5Fryer Tuck immediately knew that the “Lyndon B Johnson School of Pubic Affairs” was an error. He claims it should read “John F Kennedy…” etc etc
My cousin, Jesus Hachecristo, disagrees. “It says ‘johnson’ right in there, cuz. And every johnson is pubic,” he insisted.
It’s hard to argue with logic like that.
6You know, that particular typo is such a classic joke in the newspaper business that one tends to think any instances of it happening are apocryphal.
7Well, ole Lyndon was known to be a little crude on occasion, so this just fits right in.
8Some of my favorite comments are from Lyndon — crude but damned funny. I call them “Lyndonisms.”
9It’s what happens when you rush folks through stuff with mandatory overtime.
10Reminds me of the time my company engraved 2500 cards for Wolfe Jeweers (Jewelers). Big lock letters and no one caught it.
Looks like the proofreader was suffering from cerebral flatulence.
11We still have in our possession a front page of the sports section of the newspaper where we used to live. Yes, punt return was spelled with a “c.” Only about 100,000 copies were printed.
12Not a typo, it comes as an afterglow from the repub legislature’s work to get into women’s pubic areas.
13Had this particular typo come out of our Public Information Office in a state agency where I formerly worked. Fortunately it was an internal memo. Spellcheckers do not catch real words. Spellcheckers with autocorrect are even more dangerous. The same agency had a letter that changed “underserved” to “undeserved.” Don’t remember if that one escaped into the wild. I turn off autocorrect on every new bit of software I receive. My mental dictionary knows more words than their dictionary file, which is just sad. Dumping more words in wouldn’t take that much more memory, even if some of them are not used as often. And most spellcheckers upchuck on compound words in general. The one on this browser doesn’t like “underserved” or “autocorrect.”
daChipster, from what I’ve read of my history, your cousin’s comment on johnson/pubic is spot on.
