This way, a string quartet could travel with one case. It’s brilliant.
But then who gets to carry the case?
So congratulations, North Carolina. Last night, you struck a decisive blow for loneliness. And tonight, as you go to sleep beside your heterosexual life mate, you can rest assured that all across your great state, a gay man or lesbian woman is crying themselves to sleep in solitude and making your relationship stronger with each tear.
Music engraving on metal plates
Ever thought about how sheet music gets printed, or at least was printed before computers?
“I don’t make mistakes.” German precision FTW.
God that’s gorgeous.
I don’t know why but I want to go back to engraving. I don’t know.
Happy Birthday Brahms!

The Verbing of America
The verbing of AmericaIs getting out of hand,
Yet many nouns are also verbs,
Like toast and rake and land.
When I first heard hospitalize,
I thought it was a crime;
Why don’t we apartmentalize?
We will — just give us time!
If when we change a noun to verb
To come up with our `verbing,’
Why can’t I, when I’m using herbs,
Refer to it as herbing?
For if I call myself a cook,
The verbal form is cooking;
And if I give someone a look,
It’s also known as looking.
I give a gift
But I’m not gifting.
You get my drift,
Or am I drifting?
I get a bill
Because of billing,
But taking pills
Is never pilling.
I place a pin,
And I am pinning.
Play a violin —
Is it violining?
But play a fiddle,
And you’re fiddling;
Or is this getting
Much too piddling?
Planting some seeds
Is always seeding,
And pulling weeds
Is surely weeding;
If drawing blood
Is always bleeding,
Why does a flood
Not lead to fleeding?
I’m wined and dined
But never beered.
I’ve eyed someone,
But never eared!
Turn on a light,
And I am lighting.
Turn on a lamp,
And it’s not lamping.
If I can verbalize
A needle,
And egging on
Can mean to wheedle,
And I am doodling
With a doodle,
When I cook pasta,
Can’t I noodle?
With all these punctuation marks,
I’m doing quite a lot of dotting;
But if I were to use a dash —
Don’t you agree that I am dashing?
But comma-ing and period-ing?
And yet I can italicize
And sometimes must capitalize.
I Anglicize — but Germanicize?
Or Swedicize, or Gaelicize?
With this I could go on and on,
Really ad infinitum;
Whether I lick these word problems,
I sure cannot beat ‘em.
Our language is an enigma
In how its words are used;
And that is why, in verbing nouns,
We ought to be excused.
