You remember how last year, you gave out assignments for Halloween costumes? And you promised Holiness® to all those who fulfilled your demands?
It's been more than a year and a day.
Luna and I are still waiting for our reward. I went to class as Susan B. Anthony in heels (skirt several inches above ankle + visible wrists = Sexy Suffragette. Two birds with one stone) and Luna took pains to become Betty Boop.
For the record, I figure that by now any cop-outs relating to Richter's facial hair are moot. Yes, I remember that too. Shut up, it's part of the reason you keep me around.
If the two of us chose to demand interest on the late payment, how might you respond? I'm curious.

The pics were posted last year, and I'm too lazy to go looking for the thread.
And sadly, I never could quite pull off the constipated, "this-is-a-portrait" look that S.B. Anthony had in the source materials I consulted, though I did my best to fake it.

Please remain calm - put down the keys.
Now, I have no reason to believe you're going anywhere extraordinary, or up to anything bad. ...Except for the menacing cant you have to carrying that book cradle.

You always assume the worst about me, and why? All because many synthetic book cradles are made of rigid materials that shatter on impact.
Great Scott...I'd forgotten all about this.
Please take the ensuing pause as evidence that I am madly trying to come up with something appropriate.

That and I saw what happened to the last person who folded over a page corner in your presence.
Poor damn fool.... they never suspect until it is too late, and then it's like an episode of "Read or Die" staring Nigel, co written by Giger, Gaiman, and Dali.

E-books are problematic from the preservation standpoint (seriously, do you know how much it costs to maintain that shit in quasi-perpetuity? With the suspension of disbelief that a power surge could never possibly occur? Physical copies as backup for the win). But it's true, I won't challenge you for defacing a book that has yet to age into a historical artifact.
For now.

To hijack the overused trope-Yeah, that's what she said.
I figure I win whether or not you choose to participate in this discussion.
Cut me some slack here, Holy Man. I've been baiting the bull for more than twenty-four hours. It took you until now? Honestly?

I get physical copies of the books I think are important... The kindle is for the stuff I read day to day... (And I have been known to pick up the physical copy AND an electronic copy... Dresden Files leaps to mind.)
Anyway... If the Good Reverend was overcome with that much Holy, there should be plenty sloshing around for the topic at hand, yes?

I agree. I love my Kindle, especially while commuting to school. But in the end, there's just nothing like having physical book where you can just open it up and read. No power switches, no buttons.
And I too am looking forward to the Holy.
Because at this point, fear isn't really a viable option.

I'm actually rather ambivalent about the book smell issue. Some contemporary books smell borderline foul, and having had to process more than one item contaminated by cigar smoke/insects/mold/mildew/leaky barn/OHGODWHY? I don't revere the old book odor as some folks do. That being said, I understand and acknowledge the charm of the clean book scent.

I think those lace collars and cameos go a long way towards making people look constipated. :)
