Cluechalking



If you're familiar with the idea of warchalking, then you'll be pleased to hear about the variant that [livejournal.com profile] codepope describes: Cluechalking!
Tired of trying to figure out if someone has a clue? Let me introduce cluechalking. Come across someone who is particularly clueless? Cluechalk them with a 0 in a circle. It shouldn't be too hard. As they are that clueless, they won't notice you pulling a bit of chalk over their forehead. For best effects though use a permenant marker.
Update: Add this to your interests list or see who else has (good idea, [livejournal.com profile] wechsler!)

Am adding to my interests NOW ;)

... shouldn't throw badly spelt words... ('permenant'?!?)

Oops, I silently corrected this while I was updating. The error is still there in the original text though.

I thought I had, anyway, but the error is still there for some reason. Never mind, it can stay now...

It isn't too late to add (P0) to (P9) for a pedantry rating....

*laughs* I was waiting for a comment like that :). I'm not normally so pedantic about spelling in LJs, but if you're going to label someone else as 'clueless', it helps if you look like you have not just one but a plethora of clues at your disposal yourself... and this is a text-based forum... the coolness of it all was marred slightly by that, that's all.

Tis a clever (meme/concept/idea/thingywassit) and I like it lots - if I had my way there'd be a fair number of ink-stained foreheads at my work...

But haven't you ever come across a grammar correct, syntactically perfect, spelt right clueless document. They are the scary ones as people don't notice them till it is too late.

A self-adhesive vinyl sticker would be faster, easier to attach and standardised in terms of the logo...I'll order 500!!
