The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks

Outside

As Blog Editor here at the Times I am constantly approached with new ideas. Usually I tell people they either aren't being creative enough in their pitch or they haven't researched the blogosphere enough to see that there are dozens of blogs out there that perfectly do what they're proposing.

I wait for the day that someone comes to me to say they want to start a blog which documents people's love of misappropriating quotes so I can say, "oh you really should check out The 'Blog' of 'Unnecessary' Quotation Marks".

Today TBoUQM featured the above photo spotted at a McDonald's titled "use your 'outside' voice" and the image below that they titled "good nickname"

Overfill

The blog has been exposing offenders since 2005 and now has over 1000 posts so feel free to dig deep into their archives for more "funny".

About the Blogger

Christie St. Martin

Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
