Redundant Redundancy

June 7th, 2006  |  Published in Blog Thoughts

Today’s post may look like nothing more than a desperate attempt to boost readership participation. That’s probably because it is. Yes, it’s time for the yearly blog membership drive.

Registration is quick and easy. In fact, if you registered to comment on blogger you can register to comment on Wordpress. To go to the registration page click here: Register For Randy’s New Blog.

Just a reminder. You are not registering for your own blog - though you should consider that. You are not registering for an account with WordPress. You are registering for this blog and this blog alone. Though you may be able to use your registration information for other WordPress blogs. Use your same blogger info to remove some of the confusion factor.

You will want to register because you won’t be able to remain silent, you want badly to participate and share your thoughts on redundant redundancy. Not the easy targets such as:

  • Tuna Fish
  • Baby Kitten
  • Jumbo Shrimp
  • Country Music

No we want to hear from your creative cogs the things you’ve observed / heard that qualify as an oxy-moron or a perfect example of redundant redundancy. For example: 

I was in the post office yesterday and a postal carrier came in to the office to drop off mail to the post office and asked if they clerk had anything she wanted to mail. Do I need to say anymore about this?  Couldn’t the clerk behind the counter just give herself the letter she needed to mail? Couldn’t she just put the letter in the same box that she just put my letter?  I smiled and said to the postal carrier "the mailman comes to the post office"? He smiled back and said, "It’s part of my route."

Come on say it with me . . . redundant redundancy.

AC FACT OF THE DAY:

1906 — Willis Carrier patents his invention calling it an "Apparatus for Treating Air."
