Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Get out your dimes, it’s midnight!
Blog Guy, if my calendar is correct, you’ve got a major event coming up?
Yes, the celebrated Goofy Face Museum and Doughnut Shop, here in Washington DC, is ready to launch our big new season the day after Labor Day.
I just don’t understand that. I always thought the big tourist season is in the summer.
You’ll have to ask the museum’s marketing director, Lamar. It’s something about wanting to avoid having crowds. It’s the same reason we’re only open from midnight to 6 a.m., and why the $20 admission must be paid in dimes. “Anything you can do to keep the tourists away,” Lamar says.
But anyway, our intrepid night owl visitors, their pockets sagging with coins, will find some nice new exhibits this year, such as our glitzy tributes to actor George Clooney and Vice President Joe Biden.
That’s very cool, but it looks like your best new Goofy Face portrait acquisition is musician Neil Young. Trust me, Blog Guy, that’s a show-stopper!
For dummies who read this blog…
Blog Guy, you run a fairly low-tech operation, right? I mean, there’s nothing complicated about doing a humor blog.
You couldn’t be more wrong. We do consumer testing, focus groups, FDA monitoring, all that stuff.
For a blog? What’s to test?
Everything. You see these dummies? We monitor their reactions to goofy photos, outrageous puns and other content in advance of using them in the blog.
Note this dude’s skull coming off his shoulders like a bobblehead. That’s not a good sign.
I can’t help noticing his pants are pulled down and he’s tied to a chair.

Blog Guy and Lamar, I most certainly hope that you explained to Mr. Young that you don’t offer free doughnuts after closing time. You just keep putting the same doughnuts in the case every day, hoping they get sold someday.
