@farmerman,
Would you need a full time writer's assistant while you're in Italy? To carry your bags? To taste your food, just in case it may be poisoned?

I could hang onto your every word. That kind of assistance does wonders for a writer's ego!

Is there any money to be made from finding fingers ?

Lets say I "happened " across two from, oh, say, Caesar but they were in much better condition than Galileo's...what would they be worth ?

@tsarstepan,
Who's this 'him' you people keep referring to? I do hope you realize that Ossobuco is of the female persuasion?

@Ionus,
Errors pop a balloon of temporary smarts, but are usually sans meaning, and sometimes fun, she mutters.

@Merry Andrew,
I think Tsar meant Farmer, but on the other hand, I'm confused.

@Ionus,
Seems that Osso is not the only one who's confused. Me too. Sorry 'bout that.

I would love to drive a motorcycle from tip to top of Italy. Id get a BMW and begone. The only problem is enough padding for my camera, in case I "lay it down".


Of course I was talking about Farmer's hypothetical writing trip. http://i49.tinypic.com/10p0sjq.jpg

@tsarstepan,
Farmer may be my favorite person on awk, but don't let him know it.
