Do you like popcorn??

I agree with you Stimpy, Beth is a really fun CUMmunicator.

And Stimpy, is your above font color choice your tribute to the spirit duplicator? Otherwise known as the "ditto machine", or "mimeograph"?

While I still love the smell of fresh buttered popcorn, even though I graduated from high school many years ago (1987 to be exact), I still remember the exquisite smell of those freshly printed/slightly wet test papers...

Abe, I graduated from high school in 1968, and we had the mimeograph papers handed out to us too, back then. And much like in the hilarious scene from the hilariously funny movie, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", all of the students would bring the papers to our noses to take a whiff of that intoxicatingly good smell of the ink.

Thanks for the memory. I wish I could find a freshly mimeographed sheet of paper right now.

See what I mean, There is some precedent for being a colorful poster!

Dear Abe,

I apolgize for the "pig squealing scene" from "Deliverance". It really got to me in a bad way back then in 1972. I can honestly state that there was nobody any happier to leave the theatre than I after seeing this nightmare of a film known as "Deliverance". My motivation to see the movie stemmed from seeing two favorites of mine, namely Jon Voight along with Dustin Hoffman in the outstanding mainstream X-Rated film called "Midnight Cowboy".

Jon Voight's performance in "Midnight Cowboy" was so completely believable that I naturally assumed I wanted to see him again in "Deliverance". There in lies my big mistake. I absolutely hated "Deliverance" and wondered why I had subjected myself to see it through the ending?

Concerning the nostalgia surrounding "purple - spirit master printing" of freshly minted "damp test papers", it was indeed a universally well-received and inexpensive duplicating process (long before copy machines) appealing to one's senses, mostly of smell! It was the "spirits" in the printing fluid people most liked to smell! Current copy machines have taken all the fun out of having your test handed out by the teacher. The purple image this process produced had absolutely nothing to do with my choice of "dark orchid" for the color used. Rather, I think "darkorchid" signifies "intensely seductive passion.


Sincerely,


Stimpy

Wow Stimpy,
We are definitely one on "Deliverance," I walked out of the theatre and have never seen the movie again...pain and humiliation are not my thing!

As a High School graduate in '82, I certainly remember the purple mimeograph copies as I passed them back only after smelling the stack...ah, the memory of the olfactory senses! I even worked out a deal with my History teacher in High School to make the copies for him; he would run out and have a cigarette while I would crank out those copies. The best part was when you had to fill the machine with the mixture. I swear I can not smell grape kool-Aid now without drifting back, hand going in circles and the wet paper rolling off...ah, High School.

MMMM, Chad,

Can I send you some popped corn, that you might flavor with your own salty, buttery essence? Only thing that could top that would be for you to deliver it!

We had mimeographed worksheets, test papers, pretty much everything they printed in school (but not including report cards).

I remember on special occasions, when we would get to make our own worksheets and stuff for special projects, we got to occasionally use different colors other than the typical purple. Sometimes there was a mint green, other times a rose colored red, I think once we even got an actual blue color which was not the same as the typical purple. But no matter the color, the smell was always the same and the papers were always slightly damp when they were fresh off the press.

By the time I got into high school in the mid 80's, the mimeograph machines were probably all put into the storage rooms and replaced by regular Xerox copy machines. So instead of sitting on a table like the mimeograph machine did, there was an actual copy *room* because the copy machine was so huge.

Don't even get me started on the time some girls ran the school's main office for "career day", and me and a couple friends commandeered the school intercom/P.A. system lol!

Stimpy after watching that clip of the "Squealing like a pig" scene from Deliverance, I really don't care to watch the movie. However, the dualing banjos scene that you shared was delightful.
