zdashamberApparently, excerpts of the stuff listed:
Nearest book to you:
"For starting fires silently, at long distance, nothing works better than a flaming arrow. This manner of attack can, and has, been used to set undead individuals on fire. The targeted zombie will not know enough to pull the arrow from its body and might, given the right circumstances, burn other ghouls before succumbing to the flames. (See "Fire," pages 51-54, for appropriate use.)"
-- The Zombie Survival Guide (Complete Protection From the Living Dead) by Max Brooks
Nearest cd insert:
"The bass clarinet is the same as a regular clarinet, but baser. It looks rather like a saxophone, but sounds more like a cow. The contrabassoon is the largest member of the double reed family; it is becoming increasingly rare since Congress cut off aid to the Contras."
-- P.D.Q. Bach, Classical WTWP -- Talkity-Talk Radio
Nearest piece of paper that you wrote on:
Osa?! 211.167.18.6 Ramius Hamelin 7:15 587.50 Kodaly
-- corner of a bit of scratch paper, mostly notes of interesting names
Nearest piece that was written to you:
"At one point, the guide stopped at one of the guards houses and asked if there were any Americans on the tour (I did not identify myself!). Two others spoke up and the guide proceeded to ask if they were patriotic - yes, they were. So he asked them to demonstrate their patriotcy? (sorry, I'm forgetting english!!) by pointing out what they noticed about the house. The answer he was looking for was quickly given - "it's KFC colors!" Aargh!!"
-- a letter from my cousin in the Peace Corps in Lesotho
Something on your desk:
"Mad Dash to SF City Hall to say 'I do'"
-- front page of the San Francisco Chronicle, Saturday, February 14, 2004
Admittedly, I picked up the meme because I was at the moment suited to it. :)
