I've been giggling over it all morning. It's better than anything I ever wrote when I was a kid, that's for sure.

How quaint! A typewriter! I remember those from when I was a kid, back in the last century.

Oh, man. This shows promise. I'll read it when I have more time to collapse helplessly laughing. That is so adorable.

Fascinating. Not only did this "kid" use a typewriter, he apparently also used one extremely long sheet of paper.
Posted by Libbie (Member # 9529) on :
heehee, rivka.
I've been perusing through it when I have a free moment. It never stops being cute/funny. I can see myself writing something like this when I was about nine. I hope the person who wrote it was/is young.... Posted by airmanfour (Member # 6111) on :
"He could blast Rostov's mind, making him as smart as a dog, or as dumb as a little child, perhaps three years old, or younger."
This kid deserves some kind of award. It's super!

Okay, I finally finished it. It's so funny! And kinda sweet. I think it HAD to have been written by a kid.
I made some "fan art" to celebrate Destination Saturn. Enjoy.

It smells of fraud to me. What sort of kid today uses a typewriter? Posted by Libbie (Member # 9529) on :
I don't know. It could be possible, couldn't it? Couldn't a kid find a typewriter sitting up in the attic and decide he wants to play around with it?
My husband thinks it's written by a not-entirely-there, older adult - which would explain the typewriter better.
What kind of hoaxter uses a typewriter these days?
It's quite a mystery. But it's hilariously bad, regardless.

Hehe. This could use an application of the Grand List.

And not just one typewriter, either. The author keeps moving his one long sheet of paper from one typewriter to another.
Remember when font sizes were called "pica" and "elite"?

It could have been those autofeed sheets for those old printers (that we *still* use at my workplace). Tear off the holes and the side and start typing! (Clickety-clack...)
