I spent a lot of time hand-copying alphabets as a (very well-adjusted) kid.
Did you have a system of different-colored pens?
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What does he mean, "can't"? I don't write the kind of "a" with a thinger on the top, but I'm physically able to. Also, what's the other kind of g?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, funny -- it basically never occured to me that anyone would hand-write the "double story" lower-case g.

That map is interesting, but doesn't really tell the whole story. My county, for example includes part of but not the whole Navajo Nation, whose unemployment rate is something like 50%.
I bet he wouldn't like my childhood alphabet, which reversed the direction of the curve on the bottom of the g's and other letters like that. I don't know why.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
billytea - when you are around again, Mo Willems wrote a children's book for you. It's called "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed" and it is currently Emeline's favorite bedtime book. Last night she eschewed "Madeline" for "NAKED MOLE RAT, MOMMA!"

What is this hand writing you are talking about? Are you saying there is a way of making letters without a keyboard?

Gud, there's this thing where you can carve the letters backwards on a piece of lead, and then stamp them on a piece of paper.

Did something weird just happen to Apocalypse?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It apparently... doubled. Like we needed that much apocalypse!
(Anyway, it's been reported in BBABB)
