Perhaps this family legacy of questionable ideas goes back to Ted's (not so) great grandfather who distributed crabgrass as a solution to boringly uniform lawns. Interestingly enough, years later that same man marketed crabgrass killer.
Yikes, I'm starting to notice too many of my posts out there. Time for me to go out and slug some rats in the neighboring gutters (there's a good reason they call them gutters).
Yep, fourteen minutes of this guy talking about his fly killer...and he has a toilet paper dispenser on his table top. 22K views (sorry, Bruno here has more views than our brilliant philatelists, sadly)
Naw, I save the pellet gun for magazine salesmen. The photo is actually taking artistic liberty after leaving my facetious post ie: slugging rats. BTW, the word "facetious" is the only example I know of that contains all the regular vowels in proper order. Now, playing with fire on these forums is my preferred pastime and escape from the scary world unfolding out there.
"Y" a vowel, why not? Oh geez, this could stir up the nest. I'm told its a sometimes vowel, like it's something that hasn't nailed down its gender, or it can feel differently tomorrow if it pleases. I tried to couch my example with the use of "regular" which, of course, is arguably arbitrary in itself. Now we will probably have a schooling on "W" as another one-time occasional vowel (as in "crwth" ... a crowd, I believe). I think this is why we retreat to the comfort of our perforated pals.
Hey now! Don't forget our imperf friends! They have feelings too! And the blind perfs come to think of it. Through no fault of their own, they can't see the errors of their ways. Nyuk nyuk!
Seems like someone's (Tyska's) nerve has been touched. Ted might one of few remainng members of the long lost Consonanantine Peoples who thrived on the Steppes (ok step) of the rough south side of Bratislava. A hardscrabble life it was indeed but, oddly, fulfilling, in an odd way. They tried, but failed, in their effort to eschew the use of vowels, and in fact, banned them entirely, until the Vowelite Kingdom of the valley off OOOOOAAAAAA invaded and reinstated the use of vowels, albeit limited, which,finally, explains the "a" at the end of Ted's last name. True story!
Can any of you catch what is unusual about this paragraph? It's not all that hard if you just find a common omission. It shouldn't wrack your brain too badly. Try backing away from normal scrutinizing, look for what is odd. My additional writing ought to only bring out what's missing. I would think a participant in our stamp community, with a sharp mind and discriminating visual ability might jump up and say " aha, I know what it is!" So look word by word by word, call forth your conclusion proudly, so I can crown tonight's Hipstamp champion with an accompanying "atta boy or girl" award. Tick tick tick.

Picked up this Canada #4 on Hip this morning. Next, I'll be looking for a #1.
