The Washington Post puts in an admirable attempt at creative writing flair this morning in the unlikeliest of places: the Business section. Check out Frank Ahrens’ Milbank-esque-like wordplay in this International House of Pancakes story:
Despite the rougher times, IHOP Corp. has watched its revenue crepe upward …
Crepe upward? Surely Ahrens had to get that gem past his editors. The only question: did he do it syrup-tiously?
