I just used a typewriter for the first time in about five years. How barbaric.

I use one every day, thanks to our 5-part carbonless forms. Feh.

Whaaaat? Because I used a typewriter, or because I found it barbaric? Actually I was kind of digging it off and on, but those feelings kept getting interrupted when I would put on the caps lock and forget that it locks EVERYTHING, even the number keys! So I had to correct F)# (for F03, for Fall '03) on about 20 of the 25 labels I typed. :)

Yikes, 5-part! We have 3-part, and a lot of people type on them, but I just use a pen and press down really hard. :)

actually, i'm jealous of the tickity-tick action you got. only typewriters, real, honesttogoodness typewriters, have tickity-tick that good.

at my last place of gainful employment i would ask for things to do on the typewriter -- anything to sit there, hear that hum, and feel that *uNf* as the doohicky hit the page, leaving a smeary, beautiful letter.

Yep, that's me--I'm way too dense to recognize sarcasm. ;)

Yeah he used a typewriter alright. He used it to weigh down the bag of kittens and puppies he stole from local children and threw in the river. Never trust an editor.

In my day, we didn't have typewriters! We used a hammer and chisel on stone tablets. That's the way it was and we liked it!

Now where's that cement mixer bird that says "It's a living"?

I had to find a way to kill those animals so I could make clothes out of them. Whaddya want me to do, use lethal injections? What kind of maniac do you think I am?

And besides, those children had it coming. I had to get them back for cutting through my yard.

Oh jeez, I'd forgotten about that bird!
