Artisanal mailbag time






First up, from the land down under, (proving the insanity isn't confined to one hemisphere or continent) we have this company:





I can only assume that artisanal air is composed from handcrafted Australian atoms of hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, rather than, say, made 13.7 billion years ago during the big bang.




Next is this, which came up as the error message when the page crashed. So the IT guys are now officially artisans.







Now we have this picture from Las Vegas, advertising a local strip bar.





I suppose in some way the strippers are artisanal, as their chests were handcrafted by some of the finest plastic surgeons in Tijuana.

By the way, your cab driver is asleep.



And lastly, we have this, from CakeWrecks. While not claimed as artisanal, it deserves to be shown. Because, as a neurologist, some things just call for a nice piece of cake.





And that isn't one of them.

The IT one is pretty funny, really! But my mind boggles at Artisan Air.

I was looking on Amazon for a Queen Square hammer for my neuro rotation and learned that even reflex hammers can be "artisan."

The cake? I suppose some folk need a reminder of what their condition is called. :-(

Can fried chicken be artisanal?
How 'bout beer?

the big bang made hydrogen and some helium. the nitrogens and oxygens were made much much later in the hearts of stars.

Hey, the IT one was pretty funny. At least I think it was tongue-in-cheak. I hope.

Given that it's artisanal, wouldn't it be tongue in chic?

I adore how truly bizarre "Artisanal Air" is!!!! Hilarious!

Dr. Grumpy,

I saw this in the store the other day and thought of you:

I don't know if you have posted it before or have seen them yet.

The IT one has me wondering how tech-guy-stand-in is going to fix it with his pliers.

I can just see a room full of people, all looking like tech-guy-stand-in, massaging lines of code with their fingers (sort of like scritching your cat or dog), and then carefully restringing them. All it needs is the sound of code purring.

I think my migraine is worse than I thought. When I start getting this silly....

Whew. I thought I was going to have to be the douchey atoms guy, but luckily anonymous took care of it for me. The science correction seems just barely more acceptable than the grammar correction. I'm glad I don't have to have it on *my* conscience.
