An Unabashed Look at Hangmen, Headsmen, and Their Kind

All ye that in the condemned hold doth lie,
Prepare ye, for tomorrow you shall die.
Watch and pray, the hour is drawing near.
That you before the Almighty must appear;
Examine well yourselves, in time repent,
That you may not to eternal flames be sent;
And when St. Sepulchre's Bell in the morning tolls,
The Lord above have mercy on your souls.

I just started an enjoyable new hobby. It is redonculous how much I enjoy doing it, even though I am volunteering, something I have always considered to be a waste of time and effort. Those of you who are so inclined should join in the fun. Proofreading fun, so not all that fun unless you like that kind of thing. I do. So there. Just in case you feel like contributing towards an online database of books, hitch up your nerd pants and go here.

You

Hell is full
the dead walk the streets
You, literate junkie
listen and wrest nothing

Shut hopes of
mediocrity
You, emotional whore
look and wipe at dry eyes

Brass figure
from copper and zinc
You, alloyed betrayer
fall out of suspicion

Shhh!

I found a great little site today. Basically, you print out cards and hand them out to people who insist on talking loudly on their cellular phone in a place where we can all hear them. If I had access to a printer right now, I would print out this pdf. Amusingly enough, someone just called me on my cell phone as I finished inserting that there hyperlink.
