One Handed Typing
At one point over the summer, my wrists (which are rather notoriously badly-behaved) were bothering me enough that it made typing painful - but curiously enough, it was only my right hand. I suppose it was something to do with being right-handed, but the end result was that I spent a sticky afternoon in August trying to hold coherent conversations on IRC using only my left hand to type while I iced the right. I came up with many terse non sequiturs, but my efforts are put completely to shame by the entries in last Sunday’s Weekend Edition Puzzle. The challenge was to come up with the longest, most interesting sentences possible using only the left or right hand and ignoring capitalization and punctuation. I was more impressed by the runners up than by the winning sentence itself (football references are lost on me). One of my favorites: You imply I’ll look kooky in only my pink kimono, you killjoy, you.
