It’s a scandal
Look, I put a pen cap on a pencil! Aren’t you angry? Aren’t you mad? ‘You can’t do that, it’s a bloody pencil!!’ they scream. ‘It doesn’t need a cap!!’
In other news, I am reading the short stories of Jean Stafford. They’re all about old ladies and young girls and money and manners. I don’t quite get them, though.

Had a friend in primary that might think the cap on a pencil idea a good one. Especially given that I drove one into the palm of his hand.
The ball, though, the meatier part. Didn’t want to burden him with a stigma of any kind.

I still have a chunk of lead [well, technically graphite and clay…] embedded in my palm from a nasty pacer incident in primary school.
So violent. So permanently in my hand.
*sigh*

I would liken it to the Ben Cousins “running away from a booze bus” scandal.
I suppose you’re also affiliated with Perth identities???
Just what the hell does “identities” mean anyway?

Switch - now that’s the kind of behaviour I expect from you :)
Shelley - You think it would dissolve or something…
Chuffed - Yeah, the media won’t stop hounding me. But in truth I’m only affiliated with Perth ‘nonentities’.

Jean Stafford? Having spent most of my life in the bush, at first I thought you were talking about the Golden Guitar winner.

James - looks like no, this one was around in the 20s or something. And was a lot less cornball.
Shane - I don’t know what kind of monster I’ve become. *sob sob*
