A clean house is a happy house, and a good scrub and update on this site’s back-end is long overdue! We’ll be taking off the week of April 26th from posting to take care of spring maintenance. Don’t forget about us, we’ll be right back next week!
This charming little postcard from cardcow.com made me smile, especially the sight of the gaggle of children so excited to see the arrival of their “Pure Artificial Ice.” Silly people, don’t you know there’s no such thing as fake ice? What? There is?! While it wasn’t delivered by the Standard Fuel and Ice Company, synthetic […]
Following is a straight re-post from Earth Day, 2009. Why? Because it is well into the afternoon and I still haven’t seen THE symbol. How can we save the earth if we can’t even resurrect a little symbol? Happy Earth Day, and I send a big from me to you! –reposted from April 23, 2009– […]
We’re tickled to present you with a world premiere of sorts! The parody song “Dope In the Water” (sung to the tune of “Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple) was written and performed by Steve Anderson, Water Resources Analyst at Clean Water Services, Portland, Oregon.

Those witty folks at Yorkshire Water UK are at it again, with time with a kooky campaign centered on two thrifty Grannies. “Edna and Mary” urge us to “Look ‘ow much you get for your money!” and are backed by a spot on the telly, their own corner of “t’interweb,” and of course, Twitter and Facebook.

This could explain the presence of certain contaminants in our water! You can muster your own evil wit to write a wicked caption or ID these frolicking fiends on this 1906 antique postcard. (If you’re tempted, add them in the comments!) I wonder if “Miss Harris” of “Primley Hill” was properly shocked when she received […]
