It isn't all write...

[Uncle Sparky]

When was the last time you used cuneiform writing? I don't mean a quick note to yourself, grocery list, sticky to a co-worker or family member. I mean something somewhat substantial.

So, I've forgotten how to write. I realized this yesterday when I sat down, with pen and paper, to write a letter to a good friend of mine whose mother just died. This is when I realized I was way out of practice. After a couple of aborted attempts, I finally, today, completed a short, two page note. It was legible, relatively neat and conveyed my thoughts.

Have any of you resorted to ink and paper, lately? Were you successful?

grocery lists

that's about it

[Felch]

I use ink and paper all the time. NSA can't tap into my notebook.

I take illegible notes when I go to class.

[regexcellent]

The last time I wrote a letter was when I asked my dad to reimburse me for my appendectomy. I figured when I'm asking for that much money I might as well be formal about it.

Come on reg. Make it a challenge for people. Don't lead with the chin.

[Felch]

Tinfoil amplifies their broadcasts! IT'S A GOVERNMENT PLOT!

[Sava]

wat should i use instead of foil?

[Lorizael]

A Faraday cage, of course.

[Sava]

but what if I need more bars on my cellphone?

[Lorizael]

Most cellphones manufactured these days are NSA robots that crawl into your ear at night and siphon off your precious bodily fluids thoughts. So I guess it doesn't really matter if you have a Faraday cage or not.

My handwriting is so piss poor at this point due to lack of use. It's pretty amazing

I hate to break it to you, but if you've ever had an MMR shot, you have OCR implants in your eyes transmitting all your written correspondence to a government database.

I'll have to write with my eyes closed then, thanks for the tip.
