I think my signature may be more useless than most when it comes to validation. It's all about how soon I get bored or tired. It's all over the place, seventeen different sizes and angularity and number of letters in my surname. I doubt there's a pattern except at the most grand level, maybe decades.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
After college I traveled all over Europe on travelers checks.
One place made me sign one check 13 times -- I finally pulled out my other to prove to them that my signatures DO NOT Match. it usually consists of first initial, middle initial , last initial and then some lumps. Sometimes.

used to hate travellers checks as a cashier. I was like- I am a 15 year old making $3.35/hour, not a handwriting expert!

Because books.
I remember traveler's checks! I always hated them, too. And looking up credit card numbers in the little book that came once a month of stolen or bad numbers.

Oh, god--people who've used traveller''s cheques are old, aren't wethey?
Lord, I'm embarrassed to ask, but--who's the black guy in the class in Larry Crowne? I swear, they just named EVERYONE else in the cast but him, and the IMDB page is not giving any secrets away.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Know what's more awesome than a leaking water heater? A leaking water heater that leaks into the bag taped to the side of the water heater, which contains the MANUAL for the leaking water heater.

Yay for ultra-swift packages! It was in the house for only a day or so, but it came from a local thrift store. God knows what smells there are.
edit: And the cobbled-together box was the post office clerk's idea, she said "Priority mail will be cheaper because it includes the cost of the box. Oh, we don't have one tall enough. We'll make one!"

I didn't think that box was standard...
But still! SO COOL! And Kato loved ALL THE SMELLS! So! Many! New! Smells! Tim shops at thrift stores about 75% of the time, so Kato is accustomed to Random Thrift Store Smells.
I don't know what to put in it. Must ponder.

So I'm reading a commentary of fashion in Clueless that I think I agree with, and they bust out
an eye wateringly clashing palette of red, white and black.
No! There are no eye wateringly clashing palettes of red, white, and black. They're, like, cosmically coordinated.
Which I get is maybe subjective, but when they suggest
Perhaps alluding to the first arrival of the menstrual cycle, the shot signifies that, like Cher and the others, she is now embarking on her road to becoming a woman by learning how to dress
I realise that being purposeful could ruin the cute incest rom com for me.
Hmm.
