Living without books

[bounty]

that's a neat story Jackie, I mean Sancho.

just to clarify though, all the prisoners I was writing to HAD libraries in their facilities, its just that the libraries were all closed down. it boggles my mind how the administration couldn't/didn't go round with a large list saying, "pick one, we'll bring it to you."

I love your kindle idea though.

I wrote this elsewhere in the forum---this past summer I started donating books to a charity called "books through bars." they collect books, an inmate writes them and says something like "I want a mystery" and the charity will look through what they have and send the inmate a mystery.

the charity particularly solicits educational type books, but I hardly ever come across those so I haven't sent any. but tomorrow my local library is going to give me a free bag of books to send to them so maybe i'll find some there.

ps. you put the balm on? who told you to put the balm on? I didn't say to put the balm on. why'd you put the balm on?

pps: oh and by the way, they're real, and they're spectacular, part II

Haha
I’ve gotta say, I wish they’d’ve given more of Jackie Chiles

ironically, that actually might have been one of the positive aspects of the show---so many memorable characters remained memorable in large part because they were only there so fleetingly.

…She had man hands.
Man hands?
Man hands. She was like a creature outta Greek mythology, part woman, part horrible beast

Mrs. Murdstone?

[Sancho]

Oh yeah, I’ll bet Miss Murdstone had man hands.

The quote (or at least the paraphrase) is from the TV show Seinfeld.

If the ancient Greeks used Homer as a guide for acceptable behavior, a whole generation of us used Seinfeld:

— Did you just double dip that chip!?

— He’s not sponge worthy.

And of course there’s shrinkage, significant shrinkage, like a frightened turtle:

to answer elaines question:

(I had to compress the file for it to fit. unfortunately the attachment will have to be saved as a file and enlarged in order to see the dialog and even then its going to be blurry. hope the efforts worth it)
