Speak fer yerself. I`m a delicately seasoned citizen.

Disgusting old coot. No doubt painful to look at as well.

Frigid little c___. Where`s your sense of humor?

Just stating the obvious. Just because you can't find a woman who isn't repulsed by you no need to take it out on the females here.

Oh, shit! You`re a female?

[akwilly]

Now? I don't know. Not been near a platen press in anger for over thirty years. Might come back to me. Why?

I used to be a printer

[Yorkshire pud]

Cottoning on now, (or pretending to), still keeps you out of the league.

Enjoying new Art Bell shows.

I see.. Litho? I did both, later digital and tampo printing too.

Which is more likely to end in a fight; confusing northerners and southerners or Scots and Irish?

There used to be a TV beer ad years ago. Had two groups of blokes getting to the bar at the same time and only one barman to take the round. First lot explain how they'd been out on a fishing trawler and laid awake dreaming of a pint of Stones (the beer). The second lot say; Yeah lads, but we've been working down south for the last three months"..The fishermen say, "oh okay, you first, you need it more than we do."

Slide rule of course, but also threading a projector or open-reel tape.  Getting the last blood out of a coil hemodialyzer.  Hand-arm turn signals.

You'll have to forgive us if, at this distance, you appear as a small, half-state-sized island of quaint, ale-quaffing lilliputians who talk cute and jig about wearing strange clothes

Appear as? ONLY appear as? Heathens.

Ha I looked it up.  It's fifty miles further from Seattle to Spokane than from London to York.

They do talk a little funny over there, "melk" and "pellow" for "milk" and "pillow".

Eh? The accent varies in all directions by as little as ten miles, but no-one says melk and pellow around here.

In Spokane, silly.  When they cross the mountains we shame them into elocution classes to fit in.

Oh okay. phew. 

[Camazotz Automat]

Find my way around by using a compass, map or just looking up into the sky instead of using a GPS. Believe me, based on my current job, I can tell you that very basic compass knowledge is gone.

The exquisite joy of calculating magnetic declination!  The breathless anticipation waiting for the topographic map I ordered from the U.S. Geological Survey Department to arrive so that I could relish the local contour lines as I planned an orienteering jaunt!

(The reasons for my early isolation become clearer each waking fucking moment.)

What's a newspaper? btw what do people use now to line bird cages?

Eating a homeade dinner with my wife and three teenagers at an actual kitchen table with no phones, tablets, or tv's involved. The only noise is real conversation.

My dad was a stripper  . (That's a lithography job, people!) I still have his tools. He refused the computer training that was making his job obsolete. Score one for the luddites!

Sadly, there are no real strippers in offset printing any more, just chinless nerds. No offense to any nerds who have chins.
