Fun Book for English Enthusiasts

Have you ever seen those Epic Fail books? The one with the pictures of stupid things/ people being stupid. For reference I've included two of these pictures below...



These are always funny and make you think: are these people serious or were they just waiting for someone to notice?

The book I want is like this. But better.


Which contains images such as these....



Ahh... yes. This is just my style...

Why I Love Castle (Part 1)

Yes, this is at least a two part post. 'Why?' you may ask. Because I don't have time to delve into all of the reasons why I love the TV show... but I will give you a snippet. And yes, I think all you literary people out there will appreciate it.

I have to paint a picture for you since I can't find one...
Castle and Detective Beckett walk into a therapist's office to look at the murder scene. The body is sprawled out on the couch and Dr. Parish (the medical examiner) is taking notes on the body. The body has been shot a few times; however, what really makes this body different is what is written on the face...

Dr. Parish: Looks like a patient lost his patience.
Castle: Also his command of grammar. You're should be you-'-re as in you are, that's not even a tough one not like when to use who or whom.
Beckett: Do you really think that's the take away here Castle?
Castle: I'm just saying whoever killed her also murdered the English language.
 
Bam! And that is why I love Castle. Well, one reason. Yes. It's a dead body...but he's totally right. Come on.. this plays back to my earlier post about the hamburger place I boycot at home. It really isn't that difficult of a distinction. Your and you're... please

This is how I feel some days...


There is a little hamburger place back home and its sign reads as follows: "We know youre hunger"

I have boycotted the place simply because they had an epic signage fail. For real. Not that hard people. I still don't know if they were trying to say "We know you're hungry" OR "We know your hunger." Either way, someone needs to be visited by Apostrophe Man...
