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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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?

Cool. Lemme keep looking.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We had a rickety Smith Corona when I was young. I don't think anyone used it but us kids--we recently found a newspaper I'd printed up at about age 9 using ambitiously dry language to describe household goings on.
I've never had a problem with printing envelopes in printers, and during the phase where I had considerably more energy I'd design full graphics for the whole front side. My sister has one I sent to her framed on her bedroom wall.
NSM these days. But I am making sure I keep my handwriting warmed up, since I do agree that a well-done handwritten envelope is the most inviting in the pile.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Okay. So if I made 52 chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, and I gave 30 to Tim, and 12 to my neighbors, how many can I stuff into my face right now?
