Here's the thing: I've noticed that I've been kind of overloading on the exclamation points in my posts lately. And my feeling is that that really should be a problem for a blog named after a totally different punctuation mark.

So, in that spirit, I went on an Etsy hunt for objects that could in no way inspire an exclamation from me. Enjoy 'em. Or don't. But see if these sad saps don't strangely make you smile as much as I did.

(And don't think for a MINUTE that I didn't almost place an exclamation point on that last sentence.) (Or that one either.)

Yet this gets an exclamation from me because it's such a clever post! You found objects that fit perfectly into your objective, bravo! (too many exclamations... d'oh.)

Thank you, Lindsey. (Would normally end that with an exclamation, but am trying to refrain in honor of the post.) (Very difficult for me.) (VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.)

Fittingly enough, we;re having a cloudy morning in Brooklyn. That doesn't keep me from enjoying these ingenious posts and smiling.

Hilarious. And strangely if someone took a picture of me this morning, I would look EXACTLY like that lady in the first picture, it's just that kinda day. Thanks for making me laugh at myself.
