Welcome to Acme Widgets. We're the only widget company to feature our 100% synthetic plastic fasteneroid system.
Yes, it's quite true. Acme is the only widget company to feature THEIR cheap plastic fasteners. Every other widget company in the country uses 100% stainless steel fasteners. Yet Acme's advertising blurb sounds really good, doesn't it?
After the recent news stories about the Franklin County Commission continuing a lawsuit in a years long saga of embezzlement, we were asked if the convicted miscreant's husband still worked in the Muscle Shoals School System. When we checked, we discovered the website heading featured above.
Muscle Shoals High School is a "Progressive School of Excellence." Wow! How many schools in the U.S. have won or achieved that "award?" When we googled the term, only two schools claimed that designation. Besides Muscle Shoals High, only Hymns School used that particular title. We would tell you what Hymns School is, but its website is no longer extant, so your guess is as good as ours.
But, hey, it looks good to those snowbirds who may wish to relocate to Northwest Alabama. Remember, this is 2023 where optics count, but substance doesn't.
Just don't think about it too closely or you'll come to the realization that not only did the school create its own header accolade, it doesn't seem to have any real awards that were worthy of incorporating into its title slot. Now excuse us while we jet off to pick up our award for Best Blogspot Blog Featuring an Author with the Word Shoals Incorporated into Her Name...

Speaking of meaningless awards and titles, we recently saw this label on a Walmart Great Value product:
Decatur High School BEAT Muscle Shoals High School on the Srate report card last year, IIRC
ReplyDeleteLies. I bought a bag of Walmart-brand charcoal last summer that had a BRICK in it. They did NOTHING about it.
ReplyDeleteSame with us. We purchased a second work phone that didn't work. Since the "package had been opened," no refund or exchange.
DeleteWhat has happened to the picture of a happy face looking for a new home?
ReplyDeleteWe try to showcase two animals a day, but there may be days we publish twice on a blog, the FLAS site is down, or we simply copy/paste a guest blogger's content and don't edit it.
