Sometimes I miss the productive click, you know? I was a kid. I wrote crap. But on a typewriter, it sounded important.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
yeah my Mom bought me a Brother but I hated it. She thought it was cool because it had four different ink colors. It wrote with little pens! I loved the satisfying clack of her Selectric keys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this is only vaguely random--can anyone hook me up with pictures of guys rocking formal dress (suit, tux) and stubble or really short beards?

Any particular guys?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is it OK if they're riding a unicycle?

Thank you again for the lovely birthday wishes!
I find typewriters continue to be useful because getting envelopes to print out properly through a laser printer is a project destined to failure. Or at least tears and lots of wasted paper. Much easier to just type the damned thing.

Tommy, yes, but in that case they can't be British.
Lee, that's perfect! The specific guy isn't the issue, so much as my conviction that the combo can be pulled off. I don't think I'm going to convince the guy in question to combine the two, but I still need to illustrate my point.
Did you just have that lying around?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
There is an IBM Selectric in my new space at work. I haven't tried it yet.
I do have fond memories of the Selectric II in high school typing class. We'd often loosen the font ball just enough that when the next person turned the typewriter on the ball would fly across the room.
In college I had a Smith-Corona memory typewriter. It was pretty cool until the main logic module died the night before a paper was due.
