Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

On trashy Bens

I don't actually know any trashy Bens, but I do have a picture of one of my favorite misspellings ever:

Trash Ben

About six years ago, I was driving home from class and I fell asleep and totaled my car (but my only injuries were airbag burns - I think the Lord took over the steering while I snoozed.) So when I went back to the scene of the nap to take pictures of the guardrail that I split wide open, I noticed that receptable labeled "Trash Ben" nearby, and had to have a picture.

And I've been meaning to post that ever since I started blogging in August 2004. Whew. Now I feel as if I've accomplished something.

Disclaimer: I don't mean to further the stereotype that West Virginians are idiots who can't spell. I mean, some of us can't spell, obviously. But at least one of us (and more, I'm sure) is capable of recognizing such a misspelling. I thought about bringing some spray paint to edit the - uh, "ben" - but never got around to it. I should really work on my procrastinating problem. Later.
