Hoarders wiping out toilet paper supply

Somewhere out there is a headline writer who's much too pleased with himself or herself.

And they should be!

One day they will meet with the person at the BBC News Online web site who saw the news article about the kid in Alaska who was on a tribal punishment exile thing and was confronted by one of those big lumbering brown carnivores they have, and punched it, and then ran away, because that BBC News Online writer is the proudest writer alive- they got to write, in all seriousness and without anything to do with Shakespeare at ALL, that the boy "exited, pursued by a bear".

*dies*

Those two headline writers could get into a really interesting pissing contest, I must say. XD

AH - the RSC did that play here in Helsinki, and the guy hears what he thinks is a wild animal and runs off, and another (male) character who for reasons only the director and costume designer know is wearing only a white diaper, chases after him, and the comment was : Exeunt, pursued by a BARE...

WC paper supply

Yeah. The paper workers went on strike and then the employers at the paper mills did a lock-out, and the supertidy Finns immediately began hoarding the most important paper supply. Yours truly not among them. I remember when old newspapers were 'recycled' here by being put on the bench in the summer outhouse. Not that long ago, actually.

Well, you know, there was a time in this country when they used corn cobs for that very purpose, mostly 'cos if you had hauled your paper object all the way out west of the Mississippi you weren't all that keen on yanking pages out of it. So newspapers are a step up, although they might leave streak marks.
