I was just trying to find out why they wouldn't allow the Wedding March (you know, "here comes the bride...") to be played at weddings. So, I did a google search and ended up at the website of some little church in New England. I got my answer, but I also found a new typo every time I looked at the site. I was so distracted by the errors, I almost forgot why I was looking at that site in the first place. Oh yeah, no secular music in the church. Okay.lynnerdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10557987620459348615noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556617741770906912.post-48267783628509772882009-01-10T22:12:00.001-08:002009-01-10T22:20:13.731-08:00Grab bag.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUSjyxnyKw52r4jSdf7PYIK_emXqeUuLQ_ZEvkuRCNxvKvFGm_1WSrlRse6Ht3IiGONxmFpFYt2Ub1VE-g5hzVXHpOYv_IfuwbPYTGAUAUYoHtXSqkw43oK1ibF0wV01Rt2UQCGtI_y94/s1600-h/unnecessary_quotes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUSjyxnyKw52r4jSdf7PYIK_emXqeUuLQ_ZEvkuRCNxvKvFGm_1WSrlRse6Ht3IiGONxmFpFYt2Ub1VE-g5hzVXHpOYv_IfuwbPYTGAUAUYoHtXSqkw43oK1ibF0wV01Rt2UQCGtI_y94/s320/unnecessary_quotes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289915367846606146" /></a><br />Liz found this one.

Local TV.We live in a college town. It's a little school, with a little football team that has been terrible for a long time. They've begun running commercials on TV to drum up interest in their games. I do not believe it was the college that produced the commercials. Here's why:<br /><br />1) We live in Humboldt County. The school is Humboldt State University. It was displayed as Humbodlt State during the commercial.<br /><br />2) The graphics displayed during the commercial had Humboldt State playing Western Oregon.
