From Mike Crowl’s Roving Report:
By chance I came across an article today on odd online museums. I guess the Internet is a place where people will try out anything, and here’s one that’s really oddball. It actually manages to turn something mundane into a kind of art work — a ‘found’ art work, in fact [...]

I get the feeling someone’s having a very bad day.

Well, it’s a mention at least:
For years, Keaggy collected grocery lists that had been tossed away by shoppers. He sorted through them and offers the best from different categories (funny, healthful, sad, upscale and so on).

An excerpt from over at Journal to a Muse:
Anyway, Milk, Eggs, Vodka is one of the things I bestowed upon my DD for her birthday. It is a book that has photographs (and some comments) about found grocery lists. It is humor, psychology, social anthropology and philosophy all combined… Many of the ones in the [...]

But I guess I’m so cool you can only check [...]

This one is sort of a classic just for the variety…

The wise Rod Lott over at the Oklahoma Gazette reviews the book. I have to say, I completely agree with most of what he says — especially these parts: “Genius” and “hilarious.” But he did misunderstand the recipes chapter. The food actually is delicious (as in not “gastronomically displeasing” — especially the French Toast and [...]
