As I suspected, Helen. I’m thinking maybe she should put the word “whimsical” or “whimsy” in the title so that we will know in the future that she spelled it incorrectly on purpose.
@ #2 pauldodo: you made me laugh out loud, luckily I had not yet drank my ridiculously flavored coffee drink or I would have to clean the screen.
Apparently, “til” is a hard word to master, but not “polycrylic protective finish” which is one of the materials in the item.
*slaps knee* the end of time already knows… lol
i don’t think a bright red sign with an arrow and “beach” on it makes any sense? at least glue gun some shells or sand on there to make it beachy? at least paint it blue, or green or aqua, or tan- something beachy looking! i live near a beach, just sayin’…this sign looks better suited to say ‘rest room’ at the beach
Don’t you see? He’s saying he will love her if she can predict the end of the world. Which makes perfect sense because you wouldn’t want to invest all that energy on someone if the world ends soon.
You guys are something else..actually quite pathetic! Is your life really that boring that you have to go and make fun of other people? Does it make you feel better about your pathetic life? Everyone makes mistakes..no one is perfect!! I bet every one of you go to church every sunday and listen to the preacher say treat others the way you would want to be treated and then you go home and make fun of people. Texas is one of the best states so Efit go jump off a bridge!
#38 – I usually spend my Sundays recuperating from the weekend of drunken sex and late night Taco Bell, not listening to some preacher drone on and on about some dead Jew.
What’s more pathetic though, us giggling about some stupid thing on the internet, or you getting your panties in a wad and posting a message about how pathetic we are?
I AM treating others as I would like to be treated. I would love for one of my items to be featured and commented about on Regretsy, but the items in my Etsy shop are all too fabulous and the spelling, grammar and puncuation in my listings impeccable. *sigh*
and crazygirl02 _ I love my pathetic little life ) – Life has humor, thank goodness!! Get used to it! Laughter is one of the greatest gifts of life, even if it’s at my own expense.
Texas is ONE of the best states? Not THE best state? Which other states are on this alleged “best list?” Best for what; spelling?
As you can see, I have nothing better to do than go on this blog and make fun of people complaining about people making fun of goofy shit on Etsy, which by the way, is a sure fire way for this goofy shit to get . . . . wait for it . . . . . . SOLD!
HA HA HA!! The world would be a better place without people like you. As far as i’m concerned crapgawker you can take your perfect little crafts and stick them up your ass! Have a great day!!
wait-did I just read that right? Did Crazygirl tell Crapgawker to put craft sticks up her ass? Cuz that’s just wrong. How will we all build miniature log cabins if that happens?
This sort of stoopid thing has happened to every signwriter I’ve ever met. The part of your brain that’s engaged in painting does not be good at da language.
That’s why it pays to write out your words on paper – graph paper – before you start painting.
( And most people tend to notice their mistakes before posting a photo online. That must be why it’s been taken down.)
crazy girl MUST be friends and/or related to this seller to pull such a nutty…duh.
we are here to have fun and criticize- if you don’t like it, jump the “Eff” off a bridge…hmmm, she can’t spell the F word, I suppose she IS related to the seller

Thanks for the wonderful advice CrazyGirl02 ♥ and God Bless Texas!

BOL #38 is funnyyy
sorry but the number one rule of marketing ANYTHING with words on it “MAKE SURE ITS ALWAYS SPELLED CORRECTLY”
there used to be a time when the word “artisan” had real meaning and these people were valued craftsmen and skilled workers.
now any twit with a board some paint and a glue stick goes around calling themselves artisans. it makes me really sad weve been reduced to Accepting poor quality to be politically correct and nice.
I’ll help here:
till 2 (tl) prep.
Until. conj.
Until.
Till and until are generally interchangeable in both writing and speech. Till is actually the older word, with until having been formed by the addition to it of the prefix un-, meaning “up to.” In the 18th century the spelling ’till became fashionable, as if till were a shortened form of until. Although ’til is sometimes used in this way and is considered acceptable, though it is etymologically incorrect.
@90: actually, it looks as if it has double-quotes at the end, the beginning, and in front of the ’til.
Despite the fact that she lists this as a quote, she neglects to cite it. Who could be responsible for phrasing such profound hyperbole? Any ideas? I need closure.
you know, if I were going to join a message board JUST so I could chastise its members, I might pick a screen name other than “crazygirl.” I’m just sayin’…
aww- i doubled back here to see if the infamous crazygirl would make a reappearance…no such luck
but hey the next poster is lucky number 100! whoo hoo! and for being the 100th poster, you will win the following: an anotomically correct crocheted birthing doll, a pair of vulva earrings, and a pokemon cloth maxi pad; it’s our vaginally-themed gift to you!
She obviously has a computer. Does she not have a word processing program?? When you type in this “new-and-improved” sign’s phrasing, it clearly points out that “til is incorrect.
She should get together with that seller who does the adult bottle cozies and have her crochet some vaginas and penises with dislocated balls for these signs. It will distract from the spelling and grammar problems. (and hey, nothing says I will love you tell/”til the end of time like a big ol’ wooly cooter!)
