Found this coming out from breakfast this morning... As if the use of "indivisible" in place of "individual" wasn't bad enough, the random use of quotation marks really drives the point home:

Seeing as it's Armistice Day, I felt this is probably the perfect day to post this.
Last week was spent going through all of my eighty three year old Great Uncle Jack's photographs and scanning them in so that the entire family can have copies of each others pictures. I got to the very bottom of the pile and there was a small brown book there. I pick it up and Uncle Jack then tells me it's photographs from when he was in the army. He was stationed at Goslar, Germany, on the slopes of the Harz mountain range from 1942-1945.
My Uncle Jack has always been a keen photographer (see my icon for proof) and when he joined the army, being a non-smoker and cigarettes being scarce, he was able to keep his cigarettes and swap them for a camera when he got enough. He also developed the pictures while he was stationed at Goslar.
Here they are:

Today I went into an abandoned house on a lot for sale with my friend and my brother. I found this on the floor, mixed in with all the junk left behind...

The front of the card was ruined by water damage. |

While trying to install a ceiling fan, we discovered this old homemade Marilyn Monroe clock in the attic space.
Turns out the photos is from her last 1962 Bruce Sterling photo sessions for Vogue magazine. |

| I loved Freeway |
[Oct. 27th, 2009|11:07 pm] |
My mom found this. It was somewhere in her house, probably in the basement with a bunch of other old mail. I definitely played Freeway, a lot. Like any good addictive game, it would still be there, long after I stopped playing, when I closed my eyes. Seeing the picture and screenshot in the "Summer 1982 Activision Video Game Cartridge Catalog" made the memories come flooding back. Now I have to figure out what I should put the patch on.
( The text of the letter )
Also be sure to check out the scans of the Activision catalog at flickr.
