I’d like to welcome Gail Hapke of Scribal Terror as a new author for Neatorama.
Gail started Scribal Terror as a place for intelligent discourse; an oasis, she called it, where visitors can voice their opinion away from the frenzied Internet (like, Neatorama perhaps?).
Anyway, Scribal Terror was the place I learned about obscure literary things like clerihew, cento, syllepsis and of course, dirty syllepsis. (A what? Look ‘em up).
It’s a pleasure to welcome Gail as a new author for Neatorama.

A while back, we featured Neatorama reader Steve Barker’s custom-made Muscle Car BBQ Grill. Now, Steve has come up with a new grill: propane-operated newspaper rack grill!

The door opens up to act as a table:


For those who are interested, please contact Steve and let him know you saw it on Neatorama!

Apparently, it’s a new trend in cosmetic surgery:
Using procedures pioneered by the hair-loss industry for balding men, US surgeons are using ‘plug and sew’ techniques to give women long, sweeping lashes once achieved only by glued-on extensions and thick lashings of mascara.
‘Eyelash transplantation does for the eyes what breast augmentation does for the figure,’ said Florida-based Dr Alan Bauman, a leading proponent of eyelash transplants.

From the website:

What? How is this connected to a Vegetarian festival? Link
