In the news this week is the story of some miners trapped, possibly dead, in a mine somewhere in Utah.
After a day or two of praying, a group of people (probably women) showed up and spelled out the word HOPE using votive candles.
A couple of things:
1. They are stupid....the spelling out of words with candles usually does no good.
2. They will probably somehow be responsible for some votive miners in some other part of the world getting trapped in a votive mine while trying to replenish the ever diminishing votive supply.
It's kinda like the Butterfly Effect....everytime a votive candle flickers in Utah a miner in Finland dies.
Or something.
It's a gas, gas, gas!

...spelling out of words with candles usually does no good... When does the spelling out of words do good? (Congrats--the handbasket was just upgraded to an express train. You get to blow the whistle!)
"When does the spelling out of words do good?"
In early childhood education I suppose. I'm sure bemis could enlighten us if she wasn't being held in a dungeon somewhere.
And don't forget football games....bunch of shirtless guys spelling out GO PATS in red paint on their chests usually helps team to victory.
Or something.
(it would be WAY cooler if they spelled out GO PATS with buring candles on their bare chests.)

You're right. This spelling thing is completely unnecessary. To hell with it. Will make editing copy at work a whole lot easier too.
What!? Spelling's been just made obsolete?
Ya-hew! Thatz grate nuze!
What? Just with candles? Oh, never mind then.
LOIS! I'm blushing! Dgtef!!
IANO: ekpolq!
Lois, I'm shocked, just shocked! And here I thought you were a good gal.
Oh, she's good...real hbefdtmns good!
Lois: You potty mouth! Here's some Lifebuoy, young lady.
Mr. Bacon Ace: My dear, innocent Mr. Bacon Ace. Let the moppets frolic and run amok--don't edu-ma-cate them. The spelling out of words never does any good. The "misspelling out of words"--THAT makes me money. Originally, the mining folks had "HOP." I made a cool mil adding the candle-composed "E." KA-CHING!
Whoa, mister. You're beyond Lifebuoy now.
Sparkle: Thanks! What wine goes with this? A good Merloofah?
Uh...um...Bathgundy? Naw. Stick with the Merloofah...
Does "infrastructure" count as "infrastructure" if I spell it, say, "inphrastrukture"?
Only if you're a hip hop artist.
Did the women wear special candle lighting gowns? Oh ok, that is now an old joke.
I laughed too much at the 'dig here' comment. They could just face facts and light out the letters RIP instead maybe. At least it would be a nice suprise if anyone came out alive.
Is everyone else just as impressed as I am at how evil Bella/Jayne is?
I didn't know she had it in her, and I'm impressed. However I do know that the handbasket will have her in it.
Let's face facts. A handbasket is way too small.
Do they make handmotorhomes?
Impressed, but not shocked. Her blog makes the depth and creativity of her potential evil apparent...Plus, she's got a secret weapon--in a British accent, anything evil sounds ultra-civilized...Rend the air with more classy evil, Bella/Jayne! :-)
Well now that I know she's evil I have to start reading her blog.
To continue coming around here, you just know Jayne must be a confirmed member of the murderer's row of bastards and villains (or whatever that line was from a few weeks back).
Hurrah, IANO's evil influence has officially spread to TWO countries!
I continue to love that line of Mr. Bostongraf's! And, I still see it as the first line of a pulp novel with a gal with a gun on the front. "In this murderer's row of bastards and villains, where hope ain't lost so much as it's moved on and ain't left a forwarding address..."
