Don't forget that we've also got typewrunning. We need:
* Typing on the back of a tandem bike * Typing on horseback. Would also accept camel-back or elephant-back * Scuba-typing * Sky-type-diving! Though it sounds like your seatmate almost had you tossed out of the plane anyhow.
I find it odd that the light tapping of a typewriter is perceived as disturbing within a plane, where there is constant noise from the jet engines, you can hear people's earphones, etc. But so be it.
I always thought the original Noiseless portable would be ideal as a travel typewriter. They truly are quiet. Now if only I can get one that works reliably.
There's a whimsical ad for Blicks that shows someone writing on while riding a camel, and an even less realistic one for Remington portables where a cowboy is using one atop a bucking bronco.
Well, exactly. Not to mention the children behind me and the loud obnoxious cross-aisle conversation of the very same complaining woman. The typewriter was not even as loud as the seatbelt clasps.
Hurray!! This beats the MILE HIGH CLUB - towards NEW TYPOSPHERES. Train, plane... I wonder who's next in the CAR ;)

Extreme typewriting FTW!
interesting perspective. I considered it a failure and wanted help in making Alaska known as the "anti-typewriter airline"
ReplyDeleteYou really gotta clean your typefaces lol!
