One sentence included the following phrase: "Dr. So and So is bard certified..." and I wanted to know all about the requirements for becoming "Bard Certified" as a writer of Shakespearean status.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-34013115090802005972010-02-15T13:48:19.168-08:002010-02-15T13:48:19.168-08:00Linda G.

For some reason that reminds me of a typo I saw on a résumé once from a guy seeking a job with our marketing team: "I am seeking a position in pubic relations." Good luck with that, buddy.<br /><br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-13361763696514565652010-02-15T12:35:47.483-08:002010-02-15T12:35:47.483-08:00Snacks -- that slip from a vendor?

I wanna read the original version of tongue-boy's scene. ;)<br /><br />Your post reminded me of one of my more memorable incidents of being unintentionally funny. The theater god & I were playing the board game "Clue" with the kids one evening. After many rounds of losing miserably, I finally found myself in position to solve the mystery. Terribly excited (and, okay, maybe a little tipsy on the very nice Shiraz TG had been pouring down my throat), I proudly declared, "Professor Plum did it...in the library...with Miss Scarlet!"<br /><br />Of course, my kids were at precisely the right age for my slip NOT to pass over their heads. Not that it could've gone unnoticed with their father falling on the floor in hysterics, anyway.Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.com
