Portal to the Winter Kings Wonderland

With apologies to Aja my new web design crush is Cameron Hunt. Of course, Aja’s design will still rock you like Pat Benatar, and my fickle love should not be confused for any objective defect. I’m just a slut like this.

It goes without saying, which, allow me veer left for a moment, is a funny phrase yes? It goes without saying should be immediately followed by nothing, because should a thing go without saying then there is no need to say anything. Yet we often add the caveot after the phrase. For example, correctly used:

It goes without saying…

And incorrectly:

It goes without saying, but click the photo to visit the site because a screenshot does not do the design justice. I feel like it’s the portal to the Winter King’s wonderland, where bunnies hand out ice cream and mellow moods.
