Segue body wraps chose this slogan: From grilled chicken strips to fractured deer leg, everything is three times better when wrapped.
Does this mean eating a deer leg or putting a cast on a deer leg? Either way, I'd prefer a blanket analogy.

A kudos
Today's groupon deal surprised me. The author subtly referenced water boarding. Props to the author.
"As a hybrid of surfing, snowboarding, and every other boarding approved by the Geneva Convention"
You'll be pleased to know you can board safely at the Wave House.
I have two draft entries that will debut within the week. =)

Whiter Teeth
Apparently, deals through groupon.com are rich with ridiculous comments. Here's a gem from this morning's new deal: (the set-up: it's a deal for whitening teeth, apparently without a laser)
Those are scams run by evil doctors who live for the thrill of shooting unsuspecting patients in the mouth with real lasers.
Now, I begin to a picture a dentist with a menacing stare and a handle-bar mustache laughing maniacally while toting a laser. Such dismal imagery. A+ for hyperbole; F for effectiveness.

Irksome activities...
Welcome to my first installment of "Say What?," in which I describe asinine things people have actually said or written.
Groupon.com is a sweet website. Various businesses provide services at discounted rates if enough people buy it. So far I have 2 massages and a kayak tour booked through groupon.
Their current deal is rather unique: 67% Off at Your Personal Concierge
What does this mean, you may wonder. The business, Your Personal Concierge, will provide a personal assistant for 3 hours at a discounted rate. Here is the description with my own emphasis added:
The experienced errand-achievers (who have serviced high-profile celebs and wealthy execs) are like interns for your life, skillfully performing your tiresome to-do list so you can focus on less irksome activities such as picking out wedding rings and finalizing divorces.
The euphemism "errand-achievers" is a bit of a stretch, but I was willing to excuse such a phrase. Their description of irksome activities irks me. Picking out a wedding ring does qualify as less irksome; however, finalizing a divorce sounds more irksome than your average task on your to-do list.
Thus concludes my first installment of "Say What?" Feel free to contact me with suggestions.
