In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who
send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capitalization. For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement. "Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse." Is everybody clear on that? I know it's hard (no plun intended), but capitalize. On second thought -- don't. We love you as you are. Dave |

Your future postings will have lost the character I enjoyed. For me the lower the case, the higher the intellect :-) Bill- As a former typesetter (in the days when type was actually set by typesetters) and a lifelong continuing reader, I can attest that discerning bibliophiles could care less whether anyone helps his uncle jack off horses.....vocationally or avocationally*. What matters is whether the story is worth telling.....and how it is told. And the latter has little to do with whether or not one's reach exceeds one grasp at the type case. Stories emanting from carolina are like presidents emerging from virginia......ubiquitous, but never tedious. I'll tell the boys from cackalacky how to write when i've finished teaching the likes of washington and jefferson the rudiments of government. giles *helping nephews to an early grave is another matter entirely. |

My grandfather (96 years young) still goes in once every week or two to set type for the printing company that he has worked with for over 60 years. I think it keep him going. It's good to know that someone stills sets type by hand. When I first read it I was a bit surprised. But it makes sense.....hell, people still hammer hot iron by hand. Hopefully I have acquired some of those genes... JT The trick is in identifying (and possessing and activating) the right genes. I suspect that in the case of longevity the "stay busy" gene is of paramount importance. g. on the other hand, if one stays busy at skateboarding in rush hour traffic.....on I-94 in Chicago..... |
