Bulletin Board Tags

René Morgan came in to see me today and is now teaching me how to work this blog thing. One thing I said to him was, "If a web log is a blog, does that mean that a web link is a blink?" He liked that. Anyway, the subject of this blog is the sometimes hilarious, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes totally incomprehensible tags, always with phone numbers (now emails), that are meant to be torn from the fringe of tearables (terribles?) off public bulletin boards. Here are a few I've collected. Following each entry is my own comment. You are invited to post your own findings and/or comment on any of mine.

Like, if you have nothing better to do.

+ Berna's Clean (well, I should hope so)
+ Living Intimately (too much information)
+ Eclipse Elliptical $300 $250 (I was waiting for it to go on sale, whatever it is)
+ Metabolism Breakthrough (does it hurt?)
+ Who Is Moo Shu? (Damned if I know)
+ Support Computers (like a support bra?)
+ Clean Air (only in Montana)
+ Pen Cap (huh?)
+ Flyer Distribution (with or without pilot license?)
+ Computer Guru (help me get back to my 'om' page)
+ Turkish Lesson (only one?)
+ Brain Scan — Reading Experiment (?)
+ Braids (what about 'em?)
+ Take (I admit I took this from a Japanese restaurant, so it may be someone's name; but I could also interpret it as "on the take")
+ Ecstasy Now! (what more is there to say?)

I showed you mine; now let me see yours. See you next blog-a-logue...
