Useless Verbalisms in the Form of a Free Calendar







Remember this post from a few weeks ago? Silly dada inspired fun.

Well, in in a rare moment of free time, Evan and I incorporated the silly dadaisms into a fun gag gift (or gift if you are serious about dada!) for the holidays: a 2010 Dada Calendar. My favorite part is the completely random array of illustrations, all of which were inspired by ... wait for it ... Webdings.

You can download the printable calendar for free HERE.

We had a little fun writing some fake marketing copy for it:

Ever wonder if your friends really get it? If they're paying attention or just feigning interest? Want to efficiently separate your co-workers into those with a sense of humor and those who deserve to be thoroughly annoyed?

The 2010 DADA Calendar will make your friends smile, and infuriate your mouth-breathing nemeses.

This fully functional, though slightly deranged calendar offers a treasure trove of verbal uselessisms and near-miss meanings that will delight those that get how not to get it. However, if you have to ask, you'll never know.

As a final detail to the design, we drew inspiration from the oft-overlooked, graphically-rich world of the Webding. Esoteric meanings and conspiratorial relationships abound for those foolish enough to contemplate their depths. Beware, for this way lies madness.

You two.... It's great! Reminds me of a sign in ancient Greek that read : If you can read this, you're over educated. :-)

Brillant...this will make a lovely addition to my classroom bullitin board and I could see it as a great journal prompt for some quick thinking with adjectives and such.

it's never work when it is this much fun ... cool!
i was having fun with my son's volleyball team, cheering from the sidelines to help keep their spirits up and i shouted "that's it, team ... way to go girls!" ... well, half the team turned with these huge grins and one yelled ... you said 'girls' ... i replied 'i know ... just seeing if you were listening' ... it's does one good to be silly every now and again ...
have a dandy weekend ~
