Yah I was thinking of making one that’s 1/4 of A4 size that incorporates the face and text, like a classic old timey label so that you could just print out a piece of paper, cut it in 4, and have four labels to glue on, but then you need paste

im hoping to use 2.25 x 1.25 labels for this, i can use a label printer (and since its uses thermal paper, theres no limit on black ink at all (theres no ink), go nuts)

lol, I was thinking about this, the confused mail detective gathering them together and trying to figure out what happened.

One of them says something on the back of it similar to: “I was unable to locate the Dorbald Tundo you requested, so I apologize and in addition to sending you a Dumbo Topel I am also enclosing one additional Dirpal Trupop”

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I took the best prints from that batch, carefully packaged them, put them in the mailbox with inadequate postage, and mailed them directly to some giant shredder, and if that is the case I will send replacement prints from the original batch as well as a tarot card or something else to compensate for the loss of the original print.

But also just lol

about 3/4 of the way through God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater and it's already bucking against Cat's Cradle to become my favorite Vonnegut book

It should absolutely be required reading, along with Grapes of Wrath, for high schoolers lol

I'm reading Grapes of Wrath right now and it owns. I'll have to check out Rosewater next, though my fave Vonnegut book is Mother Night.

Mother Night is real good, think of it like Mother Night is the meat of Grape of Wrath whereas Rosewater are the communist asides

quote:

Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun.

That's great! I think yours was one of the ones with inadequate postage so if you got yours then everyone else should to. You were geographically the closest one to me, so the rest should begin pouring in over the next few days
