In The Daze Of "Your"

Today, I thought it might be fun to see how many misspellings and misuses of the word "your" I can show you before your head literally explodes.*

*Yes, literally. I once saw it happen during an argument over the word "alright."

 

BEGIN!

Oooh, starting with a classic.

 

This one always smarts.
Or should I say, "dumbs?"
[self-righteous chuckle]

 

Now we're coming to the really dangerous, head-exploding stuff:

Ouch.

 

...the pain...

 

[clutching head and rolling on floor]

 

STOP!!! I can't take any more!!

 

Quick, someone show me an adorable misuse of an ordinal number!

Awww, look. It says, "Happy tooth birthday Lily!"

Crisis averted.
(Though technically, it's still missing a comma....)

In my quest to fill the house with ALL RAINBOWS, I found these beauties:

Color-Changing LED Nightlight, 2 Pack

They have 3 different color modes, come in white or silver bases, and are on sale this week: $10 for 2!

Name It & Maim It

It's Celebrate Your Name Week, minions, and while every name is beautiful, some are more... shall we say... entertaining than others.

Isn't that right, Grandma?

 

That Christy, always acting so holier-than-thou:

Though I'm jealous she got Slimer to make her a cake. Venkman, quick! Get a sample! (Maybe two samples for me...)

 

When the baker keeps going, just for the 'ell of it:

That, or to center justify the text?

Oooh, if that's the reason I'm going to be SO IMPRESSED.

 

This one hits a little close to home:

There are approximately 8 billion of us Jennifers out here. Clearly we need to mobilize.

 

Of course some names hardly bear repeating.

Others... do?

 

And finally, a poem.
Because I AM going to name names.

Ahem hem hem.

To think that I should never see
A face palm more worthy than thee
For this is their spelling
And what they are selling
To the man named Marc with a "C":

 

Thanks to Brandie H., Anony M., Patricia L., Renee P., Rikki B., & Marc A. for C'ing what they did there.

P.S. Speaking of things that make your head hurt, a friend recently got me this gel cap for my migraines, and sweet icy Stay Puft, y'all, it's amazing:

Migraine Hot/Cold Gel Cap

 I have a huge head and a lot of hair, so it's pretty snug on me, but the extra pressure with the cold is heavenly during a migraine. I used to hold a cold pack and keep shifting it around from side to side, but this wraps my entire skull in a cooling hug. Ahhhh so good.

I keep the gel cap sealed in the fridge all the time now, so I can grab it as soon as a headache starts up. The cold only lasts 15-20 minutes, but it's 1000% worth it in my book, highly recommend.
