Robert Hruzek asks us to focus on laughter in his latest group project. This gives me a good excuse to compile a list of my more lighthearted posts, something I’ve been meaning to do anyway. Robert’s projects are always fun – please join in.
Put on a Happy Face
Funny Marketing Photos – From my latest photo tour of my home turf.
This Is So Ironic … Or Is It? – Explaining the difference between irony and paradox, always good for a few laughs.
An Online Marketing Fairy Tale – Like Terry Heath, I’ll try anything to communicate marketing principles.
Do You Suffer from SME Information Dump Syndrome? – Experts talk and talk and talk and talk until they talk themselves out of work.
Waiting for Goodbye – A little play with a vast audience of commenters.
Welcome to the Sexy Sixties – A compendium of ’60s slang that goes a long way toward explaining why we’re in the mess the we’re in.
The Wonderful World of Cowboy Slang – This post is as useless as setting a milk bucket under a bull. In other words, a must-read.
12 Things Writing and Golf Have in Common – A collaborative post that really swings!
Googles of Giggles – A real life sales story about why it’s so important to expect the unexpected.
Euphemisms Destroy Credibility – A GoodCopyBadCopyEsque business language rant that includes a coined word, euphemasia.
Tested Sentences that Smell – Grammar rant.
Earth to Marketers – SENIORS CAN’T SEE! – It’s hell to get old. If you don’t believe me, look at these pictures.
Great to have a round-up of past posts for those of us who are unfortunate enough to have only discovered the Word Sell blog recently.
Oh, and I’m deeply flattered that I have achieved -esque status!
Hi Clare, You deserve it: you have brand esquety.
“brand esquety” ?! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
My own personal favorite is still the post on irony. And I still think my definition of “ironic” is the best one!
Robert, One of these days I should put together a post of your comments – they would be funnier than any of the above mentioned posts!
Now that would be a whacko collection!
Really an interesting post.
What a delightful compilation of posts to tickle our minds. I love the oneabout the Bard on SEO. And, it’s always fun to compare golf to something we do since it brings out many nuances and gives us space to go for another nine to test our theories.
