Dull Men's Club - Celebrating the Ordinary

Where dull men – and women who appreciate
dull men – share thoughts and experiences about ordinary things

We don't get out much
It's OK to be dull
No matter where you go, there you are
Born to be mild
We're giving a good name to a four-letter word
We don't try to keep up with the Joneses (who are the Jonses, anyway?)
Go for glitz and glam?  Why?

As we in the DMC relish the ordinary and have a distaste for the extraordinary, the phrase “the curse of the ordinary” in the opening paragraph of a recent article the New York Times caught our eyes. The article is “Finding the Facebook Magic” by Peter Eavis.

The article says “it’s all about valuations” and “the transition from extraordinary to ordinary is brutal.” It points out that the hyping of the share value for the public offering was based on projections of amazing, extraordinary profits. Then came the nightmare when investors stopped believing in the hype.

Moral of the story: stick with ordinary, steer clear of extraordinary — "Celebrate the Ordinary."
