..."student bloopers", perhaps.

That's it! Needs to be an e-book. "Hurled the biscuits". Indeed. "The Ramons conquered the Geeks", another truth. I'm copying this to a Word document and correcting the typos that aren't funny (obviously errors of transcription), and never losing it again.

That would be wonderful. I could come along, and take photos, from a distance.

My favourite graffiti cannot be posted here due to obscenity, obscurity (for those outside of Oz), because recent history has made it somewhat redundant.

I bought a Moleskin, but I feel I would be desecrating its blank potential with any of the words I wrote in it.

Cheers,

I check them at the door, I check them in the bathroom, I check them before I go to sleep at night, I check them before I leave the house.

They're always there, but it doesn't hurt to play safe.

Cheers,
Marc (yep, still there)

Same text, but yours has an attribution, as well. Nice. Richard Lederer, with whom I'm familiar both for some of his books and columns, and from my being, very briefly, part of the poker world. Fantastic.

I have a vivid memory of being at primary school in 1959 and reading the work of the boy sitting in front of me -

"Chinese people tie their toes in knots so they cannot grow any."

This was after foot binding was covered in a lesson on China. I can't remeber all the mispellings apart from eny.

Taylor514ce · 05-15-2008, 08:43 AM

That's timeless, Laine.

Open your moleskine to the first page. Get a nice pen, I prefer rollerball fine point. Ready? Write down "Chinese people tie their toes in knots so they cannot grow any."

There. Now you will feel free to use the notebook to write nearly anything.

I perform a similar ritual with new notebooks, typically transcribing a Japanese or Chinese poem. My current notebook has this on the opening page:

Once, far over the breakers,
I caught a glimpse
Of a white bird
And fell in love
With this dream which
obsesses me.

- Yosano Akiko

On the facing page is the XSLT Identity Transform.

Anyone notice that Taylor's guitar is smiling? Hmmmm.....

Taylor514ce · 05-15-2008, 09:53 AM

That IS my guitar... Marvin needed a break. That is a :drumroll: Taylor 514ce. Ain't it purty? And pshrynk, sometimes a guitar is just a guitar.
