It's a common fact that the best way to remain organised is to make lists. From the detailed "To do today" lists, to the totally mundane grocery lists. You know the ones, hastily jotted down on a decorative scrap of stationary must-not-forget-the-toilet-paper lists that are so quickly discarded or forgotten. But not by Bill Keaggy, the lister of grocery lists.
Since 1996, this fellow, Keaggy, from St Louis, Missouri, has managed to collect over 1 000 shopping lists for his website www.grocerylists.org. Many of the lists have been submitted via email, while even more Keaggy has picked up at a store called Schnucks in his hometown.
But why? Well, Keaggy likes to collect things. As he explains, "I have a magnified appreciation for the little things in life – the mundane, the forgotten, the rundown and the lost."
Grocerylists.org a highly addictive website – in an unusually voyeuristic way. A list can tell you many things about the person who wrote it, while also leaving much to the imagination. What kind of meal was this person planning? Was it a he or a she? And why can so many people not spell banana?
The intentions behind many of the lists are quite clear. The PMS-list is a good example: "Kotex tampons super plus, cupcakes, snickers". Others are extremely puzzling, and frankly, a little worrying: "Shell corn, bind holder, belt, knife, collers, map, cellphone, hunting licence, say goodbye to wife, kill deer, Mt. View Motel, kill deer."
My personal favourite is the author with the identity crises, and the list where "supper" has been crossed out and replaced by "cheese" – how does cheese substitute for dinner?
And, please tell me where one would purchase a million dollars!
The best place to start: check out Keaggy's Lists of top 10 lists.
