I started Banterist in 2003 after this conversation with my cat. It led to all sorts of good things.
Ever noticed how the word “minimalist” has morphed into a synonym for “shoddy crap with an expensive price tag”?
No doubt these transgressions were perpetrated by the notorious (and dyslexic) “E before I except after C” gang.
Is the “low cieling” a comment on Britney and all self destructive pop tarts?
Wow the dyslexic’s come out in force!
I think the misspelling in the Tribeca Tavern sign may be intentional. If it had been spelled correctly, no one would give it a second
look. Because of the glaring misspelling, most observers are forced to take a second look!
