Return to the Typewriter

[Loring2]

Ok Ok

Ha! Well, when I was young, I had to hike six miles in the snow with box of parchment papers and a dozen bottles of ink on my back! When we students got to school, we had to pluck a live goose for quills, sharpen them with our teeth and not only write out everything long hand, but illuminate it! Kids today don't know how easy they've got it.

I surrender! I surrender! ... did you hear me dear ... I surrender. You definately had it worse than I did. Anybody that had to pluck a goose had it worse than me. I'd take an occasional gander but I never had to pluck a goose ... I don't know if I'd have been able to do that oh brave and fearless one.

Care to stop by for a tiddly this nice warm California afternoon and we can reminesce about other things that never happened and I can show you my etchings. Heh, heh, heh

Take care now love and leave it on moist for me.

I have an old typewriter, 1930's or so. It looks cool, which is why I keep it, and also because I inherited it. But nostalgia? No, thanks! Plucking geese is probably easier. Pounding on that thing breaks your nails and gives you calluses.

Who? What?

The only good thing about typewriters was the typing class I took in high school had two guys in it. He was more popular though, with a certain set of girls.

You said there were two guys but forget the other one. The popuar one, what was this 'set of girls' like? Were they popular with other girls too? Did they have more fun? Why did they? Just asking. Who is 'he'?'

Yup but

Uphill both ways.

It really was uphill both ways SR so don't make fun of her; that's cruel.

Well, our ancestors did manage with berry juice, fingertips and rock to record their thoughts--even the dirty ones

I have always been puzzled by the lack of good cave painting porn. They have plenty of hunting scenes, but apparently none of the good stuff survived.

On the contrary, there is plenty of good stuff but it doesn't get reprinted in college anthro texts. You ought to see the stiffies on some of the wall art from northern Africa. It's on the order of Japanese 'cannon phallus' wood block prints. http://www.robynbuntin.com/Uploads/14636.jpg

He liked to shop. I forget his name, cuz that was in the dark ages and many whiskey bottles ago.

I googled cave painting porn and ever other possible combination of terms. I think I found a poor image of the stiffies.

What I really wanted to see was wall paintings similar to the Venus of Willendorf type of stuff.

they exist. I can't find any on line either but there are some images on the French (of course!) cave walls. I've got a pretty good library of cave art books. I see if I can scan some in.

If I was a cave man, that's what I would put on the walls.

They did. And I suspect that the ithyphallic images were painted by cave women!
