Warning:  This is a frivolous post.

I just came across an ad by Yankee Candle for “man candles.”  Really?

I like Yankee Candles, but I cannot imagine that these scents are really,  “back by popular demand,” except perhaps as gag gifts.

See the send up here, from College Humor.

Crop circles?  Messages from space?

Derthick’s publicity invites you to “come and be cornfused.”
