Even MORE Great Moments in Editing


The Marines may be looking for a few good men*, but here at Bilbo's place, we're looking for a few good editors. It's been a few weeks, and so it's time once again to dredge up a few more great moments in editing ...

It's said that you get what you pay for, but I'd still hold out for a little better warranty ...


Perhaps the measurements were made by the same guy who came up with the tire warranty ...


Ah, yes ... the press is honoring the jackpot winner's desire to remain anonymous ...


Thanks, but I think I'll pass on this one ...


Now that's what I call comfortable, useful pants! ...


On second thought, just keep the camera ...


An event with a mixed message? ...


I guess the sheriff better round up a posse and head out after 'em ... oh, sometime in the next week or two ...


Yes, stop playing games with our children's ... uh ... let me get back to you on that ...


Looks like it wasn't just the Mayans who got their predictions wrong ...


Proof positive that we need more people with the ... write ... stuff.

Have a good day. More thoughts coming.

Bilbo

Well..darn! I would have liked to see what a jellyfish apocalypse was like!

The parachutist must have really
quick reactions or really good shoes!

These were primo editorial flubs! Thanks for the laughs!

Hey I can comment today. Couldn't leave a comment yesterday on that post.

I love these Bill. I have to get Rick a pair of those carpenter pants. :-)

Those turtles should arrive in ND about when I'm in a nursing home.

Those 3 mile warranty tires give even yard sale retreads a bad name,

Did you notice the Vegetarian Ham is chicken flavour?!!

Bilbo said...

Angel - you're welcome, as always!

Mike - I'm practicing running with my walker.

Peg - I have to say that the pants ad was my favorite...it's always better when you can reach your tool more easily, ha, ha.

Kathy - get a second floor room...the stairs will probably slow them down.

Duck - Yep. Yard sales and Craig's List are not the best place to get those tires...

Alice - that was what made it extra funny!

I always love these. Thanks Bilbo. I hope you're enjoying your time off from blogging every day.

I think my old Grand Am must have had that warranty! If ever a car could hate someone that one hated me!
