Miracle Whip to Strike Back at Stephen Colbert – Eat Me Daily - http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009...

Alex Scrivener, Czar, Kenton and Helen Sventitsky liked this

The full text of the letter Dear Mr. Colbert, Recently on your show, you tapped into a sore spot in our nation's psyche: the eternal struggle between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. And surprisingly, for a man of your impeccable intellect, you've chosen the wrong side. A side doomed to a painful, drawn-out, utter and complete defeat. Like the Plantagenets in the Hundred Years' War. Or whichever one was the cat in "Tom and Jerry." Mr. Colbert, we found your attacks a little harsh, occasionally funny, and at times, wholly inaccurate (for the record, our target is 18-35, not 34). But unlike most advertisers who are so mayo, who would back down at the slightest whiff of controversy, and pull their advertising from not just your show but from your entire network and all its sister entities -- we intend to do the opposite. On Thursday, November 12, we will dominate the airspace on your show. With every commercial break, your viewers will be exposed to hardcore Miracle Whip attitude and... - Sarah Peterman

That is awesome. Gotta go out and buy some Miracle Whip. And the commercials make it even better. - Kenton

Agreed... I love this ad. - Sarah Peterman

I have a friend in the military (deployed to Iraq), who I was talking to through the use of myspace up until the end of July when inexplicably she stopped signing in. It took me about a month to realize it, but soon I started writing her letters (7 total) in August. It is now November and I have heard nothing from her. I even went as far as

friending her husband on myspace and asking him if she were all right. Myspace tells me that he read it, but have yet to get a response. Am I being unreasonable in that I expected one letter by now? Should I take it as a hint that maybe she doesn't want to talk with me. Mind you, she is the type of person to tell you so and not tiptoe around. Not sure what to do. I have fun writing letters, but as I'm not sure she is getting them, I don't know if I'm just talking in an empty room. - Sarah Peterman

Just realized it was Veterans' Day. Maybe today was the wrong day to post this. Anyways, thank you veterans :-) - Sarah Peterman

Damn. Do you get to keep the book? - Derrick

At that point isn't it just cheaper to say you lost the book and pay for it for them? - Louis Simoneau

Thank you for supporting the library. - Uncle CW™

:-( - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I think that is ridiculous. You could have bought many books for that price. - Sarah Peterman

You fail at life. - KapitanObvious

Whaaaaaaa? That's crazy! - holly from iPhone

It was about 8 overdue books and 2 CDs. But the last two books, it took a week to find, then I kept forgetting to take them to the library. That also (should) include the $20 overdue from the books in May. - Admiral Anika

OMG! - Katy S

I love the library. and I do go occasionally. but fines are why I don't. I forget all the time. - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF

The problem with our library is location. If you miss it, you have to go half a mile past to make a U-turn, then you have to go back another mile to make another U-turn to get to it. But yes, even with the the email and text message alerts to remind me to take the books back, it's hard to remember. - Admiral Anika

Find out if your Library system has a 'amnesty day' or some similar event when you can return overdue books with no penalty. - Michael R. Bernstein

Yeah work it - anna sauce

I doubt LAPL has that and even if they did, I'd probably forget anyway. :) Besides, I returned all the books a couple of weeks ago, this was the final bill I received in the mail. - Admiral Anika

If you didn't return the books and cds, it would have been a whole lot more...:( But seriously, thanks for supporting the library. :) - Anna Lynn M.

Shoot, I had books due yesterday and I forgot. My problem with the LAPL is they notify too early - they send me an email like four days before things are due. I forget again in those four days. I need one the day before and the day of. Which I used to have through libraryelf.com, until LAPL changed their system a few weeks ago and libraryelf said, sorry, can't support it anymore. Boo. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Or I remember when I'm not near a computer. LAPL needs an iPhone app that I can use to renew stuff. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

See, when I get the first email, I send it to my calendar to remind me the day before and the due date. i get both email and SMS reminders, but I snooze those. Then LAPL doesn't send you another reminder for like a week! It would help if LAPL's site was available on a mobile phone (not just an iPhone). - Admiral Anika

I should remember to do that, but I don't. They should make it so you can connect Google Calendar to your account and it automatically adds due dates to GCal when you check out. And great, just went to check on the status of my probably-overdue books, and it's giving me a 500 error. Seems like about half the time I try to log in something goes wrong. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Basically, this is all my own doing. I'm not bitching at the costs and it does help the system. I just want to kick myself. - Admiral Anika

I add it GCal, on the page from the email. Under the "More actions" tab is "Create new event". Put in there and everything is done. - Admiral Anika

oh my that sucks - VAL D. Zone

i'm all for supporting the library with overdue fines. a few bucks here a few bucks there. that's gotta hurt though. - sean808080

Good idea, Anika - I forget it's easy to do that from the email. I'll try to start doing that. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I no longer feel so bad about my recent $39 fines. So you've done that good deed. ;) - Heather Solos

Anika, see if you can talk to the circulation supervisor and plead your case. I know you've been going through a lot lately, and sometimes all it takes is talking to the right person to get your fines waived. - cecily

Wow - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Geez. You probably could have just bought the books from them cheaper. - Jason Huebel

Ouch!!! - John Tastad

I doubt it Jason. One of the CD packages I borrowed costs $129. - Admiral Anika

<puts on her librarian glasses>Hey now, seriously, 8 books and 2 CDs (and thank you Anika), one of them at $129 & you are going to get them for cheaper than from a library, for less than $70? Why would you go to Blockbuster and rent a DVD & pay the money up front AND pay fines when you're late when you can at least go to the library & get it for free at the start? Is it that hard to return stuff on time, all you people who hate library fines? Also, yes Anika, what cecily said - go find a nice circ person :) - Miriella

I don't mind fines. It's my fault I kept the books so long, like I said above, I'll bit the bullet. It's just that right now, that's $70, I really don't have. - Admiral Anika

Hold out 'til Amnesty day! Hey did you see hte latest parks & rec, it's hilarious, portraying the librarians as this kind of cleopatra-like man-eating feminist cult. - anna sauce

Damn, don't they know the economy is not good right now? #libraryfinefromhell - Shevonne

Katy S to Katy's feed, Cat Lovers, Bitchfest

Today I accidentally let the kittehs onto the enclosed porch. Normally, this would not be a big deal, but since the weather has turned cold, it's where their catnip plant resides. They found the plant very quickly. Sophie's been good, but since I brought them back inside Plum has been trying to break through the door to the porch. Bad Kitteh!!!

I love that last photo. So regal! I'm telling you! - Admiral Anika

I know she is, really, I just see all of the silly things she does all of the time. Her fur is really amazingly plush and it's all silver-tipped, which accounts for why it can look different from picture to picture depending on the lighting. - Katy S

I have considered growing catnip for Stormy, but she is already demented enough. - Mellissa

I'm definitely not bringing it inside. Once the porch is too cold, it gets to die. Growing it outside was fine, because I could control their intake. I don't think I could handle it if they had constant access to the 'nip. - Katy S

Racial discrimination? Easily yes. *EDIT* Well, only if they were actually treated differently than other customers - Shey, Jamaican of FF

I wouldn't say it's discriminatory. It's descriptive and accurate. Maybe not polite, maybe insensitive, but no service has been denied, so there is no discrimination. There seems to be a trend amongst the guardianistas these days to believe that simply MENTIONING the apparent race of a person is racist. It's not. Too many people are too ready to be offended by just about anything. If there were 17 white couples and one black couple in the room with you, how would you point out the black couple? - Slappy Line

Personally, I wouldn't be THAT offended. But I would hope they had a better way of identifying tables. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

It even says "Table 18" on there. But still I don't think it's actually racist. In poor taste, yes. Would have maybe used "UPSTAIRS BIG FOREHDS" instead ;) - Craig Eddy

Erm, why isn't their tables numbered? Seriously, what do they do if the entire restaurant was white males. Upstairs white male at corner left table wearing blue tie and glasses? Edit: oh it is numbered, what is the point then of labeling? - Sarah Peterman

I'm not a visible minority so I can't really comment. But I'm going to anyway ;). I agree with the comments here that it was more insensitive than anything else. Would it really have ruined your entire evening though? Sounds a bit like dramatics to me. - Kenton

Another work annoyance. A special wastebasket only in front of the women's restroom because of all these hypochondriac chicks who heard somewhere that they ought to touch the restroom door handle with a towel only.

This is happening only in front of the women's restroom. Men don't seem to do this. All these towels get wasted by chicks who use them to open the door because of germ fears. They used to just toss them on the floor. Screw the janitors, I guess. What really annoys me is that I bet they all heard that they should do this on Oprah or somewhere else on TV, and they just do it mindlessly now.

Our main public library branch just installed a Purell dispenser. In the main lobby, even.

So for the first time I tugged my sleeve down to cover my hand while grabbing the doorknob. And, yes, I would carry my used tissue to the trash if I ever started doing that. - Spidra Webster

Yes, I cover the bathroom doorknob as I walk out. People are gross, and a number of them dont wash their hands before leaving the restroom. (I'm talking to you, Ms On Your Cell and eating in the stall next to me). I work in a high traffic public services building. Throw your paper towel away. It's no big deal. - Archangel ωαřмaiden

+1 Using a paper towel to open the bathroom door. Plenty of nasties can live on steel and yes, people are REAAAAALLY gross about not washing their hands. Looks like you guys need a bigger trash can there. Problem solved. - EricaJoy

I use a paper towel to open the door, too. I see too many guys leaving the restroom without washing their freaking hands. - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

I saw a guy last week blow his nose into his hand and then use the same hand to open the restroom door. - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

LL have you tried the throat-punch? - MVB (Grinch of FF)

I would have, but I was kinda busy at the time. :) - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

I use a paper towel too. There are way too many women in my place of work who will only put their hands under the tap for 10 secs then open the door. Plus I don't know about anyone else, but my sleeves covers my hands and I tend to rest my head on them. I'm not about to transfer the germs there. - Sarah Peterman

If you're lucky enough to have a paper towel instead of a hot air dryer it's easy enough to use the same towel you just used on your freshly-washed hands, and dispose of it in the next trash can you find. If you're really paranoid you should grab a towel before you turn on the water to wash your hands. You Know where those hands have just been. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

I should add, I also use a towel to turn off the water. I HATE air dryers. - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

My dad, a retired janitor, HATED this. - Mary Carmen

I grab the door with a paper towel and then, using my exceptional set shot skill, I toss the towel into the nearest available dispenser. If I ever were to miss, I would, of course, retrieve it and try again. (As if that could ever happen!) - Mark "DerBingle" J

I once worked at a medical university and shared a building w/the nursing school. I stopped one of them as she was leaving the ladies restroom and stared at her. She asked me what the problem was and I told her I wanted to remember her face because any nurse who didn't wash her hands after using the restroom wasn't ever getting within 50 yards of me if I'm ever hospitalized. *shudder* - vicster is...

*fiercely fistbumps Lindsey* - MVB (Grinch of FF)

Also, why is it bad to use Purell/hand sanitizer? I only use it occasionally, if my hands are especially grotty and I'm not near a faucet. - vicster is...

What doesn't kill you will give you skin eating bugs and random bacterial infections, maybe even e. coli and THEN make you stronger. :) - EricaJoy from IM

I would straighten those paper towels out, stack them, and put em back in the dispenser. I'm a recycler. :) - SAM

I have a couple of issues with the whole thing. 1, I don't think that the towels are especially effective as protection. My other peeve is seat covers, which I've heard are no better than just wiping the seat. 2, Why are females so much more into this than the guys? So much so that the janitors had to put a special basket only in front of the women's restroom? We all get exposed to germs pretty equally. - Kamilah Gill

Here's a link I found that agrees with me. It's not necessarily the end of the argument, but it's something. http://www.poopreport.com/BMnewsw... Also here http://desertgardener.blogspot.com/2006... "Claim: The bathroom-door handle on the public restroom is the germiest place. False. Door handles actually have the least bacteria of any surface in public... more... - Kamilah Gill

I don't use a towel when I leave, I just use antibacterial stuff when I get to my desk (I have to use at least 3 door handles on the way, and I'm sure they're just as likely to be nasty as any other surface in the office. At least the bathroom handles get wiped down every evening.) - Jennifer Dittrich

I am with you, Kamilah. And I avoid the anti-bacterial soaps because they provide no greater benefit than regular soaps and cleaners. I prefer the alcohol and/or essential oil (like tea tree) based hand cleaners when I don't have ready access to hot water and soap. - Ragani Harris

doesn't that mean the germs they are all afraid of are now collecting in that little can? - J. Abdul-Qahhar

J., I guess in their minds, that's okay. Only the *janitors* have to touch that. And pick their crap up off of the floor. As I said earlier, I could tolerate this a bit more if people didn't Throw The Damn Paper on the Floor like a bunch of idiotic MONKEYS. - Kamilah Gill

Well, the reality is there are such things as automatic doors(why do you think they have them in hospitals?) and they are supposed to be on there for the wheelchair and disabled anyway. Try carrying an Etank and opening a door and trying to get the Etank in. I had to do that for a long time. Irony: I used to build the electronic boards that power automatic doors. ;) - Melanie Reed

And as far as microbes are concerned, they can live on a lot of surfaces...including door knobs, steel or otherwise - Melanie Reed

did you mean to post that on another thread? your 1st comment? - Kamilah Gill

Kamilah, automatic doors would solve the problem of needing to touch the doors period. Contact issue gone. Towels on the floor gone. - Melanie Reed

Well, yeah, but there isn't one on this particular door. Wouldn't work very well on this one. There's also a problem with people not knowing how to hold doors open for people (probably because they're so worried about touching anything, even with their backs), but that's a whole 'nother issue. - Kamilah Gill

Agree about the holding open (although I thank those who did). But there are automatic solutions for just about any situation...even existing ones. Small doors that swing both ways just need an elbow push button. I'm afraid small operations that rely on residential doors are in violation of ADA. - Melanie Reed

Call me what you want but I've seen many women that don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, so I use a paper towel to open the door on the way out. But I take the towel back to my desk or other area. - Carmen - Happy 2010!

I do it and will continue to do so. Facilities needs to ante up for a bigger waste basket, IMO. - nakachi

Carmen, Amen! That is exactly the issue despite signs everywhere. Oddly even hospitals still have a percentage of there own employees who still don't do this. I often wonder if it was decided to use this as a measure of our society's intelligence how we would fare? We build rockets and space stations and are mapping the human genome....but we haven't learned to be clean? lol - Melanie Reed

I find that these wastebaskets fill up quickly because the towels are so floofified. So I usually will finish using my own towel, and then with that kind of around my hand, will push down the floofy paper towels so that there's more room. I've had women stare at me before for doing this. Sheesh. (and usually, if the door can push open or is just a lever handle, I often use my elbow to open it) - Ladybug Heather

I'd love to see a study on the incidence of people actually becoming ill as a result of something simple like touching the handle of a door to a bathroom. I have a feeling that the rate is low enough to be statistically insignificant outside of a hospital. - alphaxion

alphaxion I agree. Touching the handle will do little...unless you then rub your eyes, touch your mouth or nose immediately after. Unfortunately, we do these gestures so automatically, we forget we have done them - Melanie Reed

even then, your body has so many defense mechanisms against intrusion like that it means more often than not you can do that and get away with it... Not advised, as you do it enough times and numbers begin to play against you. I really don't get where people think if even just 1 microbe touches you you'll get infected. It's repeated, frequent exposure that is the danger. So, if you're one of those tiny bladder people, then it makes more sense. - alphaxion

I use the same paper towel I dried my hands with after washing to open the door when I leave the restroom where I work, as about 30% of the men there don't wash their hands at all, but some days I'm lazy and like to prove a point and just wear a pair of sterile gloves all day while talking about how nasty the office environment is due to people not picking up and cleaning up after... more... - Tsali, The Native of FF

The part of me that gleefully watches CSI would love to know if that really was the source of your infection or if it was the result of something else environmental - outside, in the AC... etc. Imagine if we could develop a way of visualising the germs around us. Then again, knowing how many naturally exist around us, that'd prolly do more harm than good :P - alphaxion

If Oprah said it it MUST be true. - Ian May

If it's so important to use a paper towel to open restroom doors, how have we all survived for the last few decades? This is how OCD starts. - Eoghann Irving

Actually that trash can full of used paper towels is probably a far greater health hazard than any door handle. - Eoghann Irving

The signs at the hospitals & clinics where I work say to open doors with towels, so I'm going to do it, until research says it doesn't help. Those towels might not be as good as latex, but they're going to be better protection than my bare hand. I often work within FEET of people with H1N1 and the people who treat them, & it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense for me to ignore approved methods for avoiding illnesses medical experts are well aware are transmitted by hand contact. I do use garbage cans. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

"Finland!

And not any crappy broadband. The policy will be active in July 2010, when every Finn will get a one-megabit connection. But that's just an intermediate step towards their final goal: By 2015, everyone will have a 100Mbps—yes, a hundred megabits per second—available." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

You have to watch more than 4 minutes to get Arrested Development. I think it took me five eps or so to fall in love with it. Four minutes and it just seems weird. :) But you don't even have to know AD - he's in Superbad, Juno, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Year One, Paper Heart - he's fairly ubiquitous in the younger-skewing Indiewood films of the past couple of years. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Ah...that explains it. None of those movies have called me to watch them, so yeah, he'd be off my radar. - Admiral Anika

loved him in arrested development, watched all of his movies but he just keeps playing the same character, little change would be good for him imo - Mehmet Aydin

i used one very frequently until sometime in 1994. - Joe Silence

I've used one, many many years ago. Probably late 80s - Glenn Slaven

I used a typewriter once when I was fairly young, around the beginning of the nineties. We had a "modern" one and I was curious to see it in action. I made a typo in the first word. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato from Android

You will probably still find them in use today in a lot of law firms. - Alex Scoble

My dad had one when I was little, and I managed to type a paper or two on it. Nothing major. - Carlton Hackett

typewriters are still used as backups in case our 486 pc's die at the firehall .. - johnpiercy

I used one in elementary and Jr high. Some in a work training job that I had with OC County in Jr High. - Uncle CW™

my first two were manuals, my last one was an electric Smith Corona from the early 1970s. the only reason i stopped using it in 1994 was becos a cousin of mine walked off with it one day. - Joe Silence

We had a typewriter at home until the early 1990s. I used to type opening paragraphs to the Tolkien-rip off fantasy novel that I never finished on it. My dad may actually still use one in his office on a daily basis even though he has a computer and a printer, too. - Victor Ganata

We had one of those big green IBM ones that I use to type my assignments out on until about the 90s. Just strange that my nephews (8 and 5) have never, ever seen one or used it. - Johnny Worthington from IM

I remember using my dad's when I was six or seven (mid-1980s). And when I worked at a bank, we used one to type up a few forms that had carbon copies in them. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I love typewriters. - Mona Nomura

Probably early 90's in typing class - Rodfather

I took a typing class over the summer in '92. That's the first and last time I used a typewriter for any length of time. I took a typing test on a typewriter when I interviewed for a temp agency in late '94. I think that was the last time I ever touched one. - Fa La La La Lindsay

Very early 90's - Mo Kargas

I've used one before. but yea. early 90s - John Wang

I used a typewriter in the late-80s / early-90s. Parents thought my bro and I (hunt-and-poke typists) would best learn to type and that was in the days of typing class. Even though we needed to learn typing such that we'd type on the computer better. - Wirehead

I did, I'm 27. - Joshua Schnell

My Dad used to type up his tests for his students back in the mid-80's. I used his typewriter a couple of times to type up papers before we got our first computer around 88 or so. I'm 32 now. - Give 'Em DBizness

When we donated dad's library we also included his beloved Selectric. They sent it back... - MVB (Grinch of FF)

I used one until I got decent word processor software for my C-64, around 1989. My sister actually took a word processor to college her first year; second year, it was a PC. - Ladybug Heather

I took typing in 1989. Never used one again after the class, because I took computers the following semester - Matthew DeVries

I learned to type well before computers. - Janet

I had one when I was kid, early to mid 90's. - Sarah Peterman

I've used one. I'm 22. My dad had some old manual ones. - Aaron Hood from BuddyFeed

High school typing class -- 1988 - Christopher A Carr

High school typing classes: 1960-63 Best thing I ever did (though I hated it then). I can fly round the keyboard, touch-typing too. Cut-off when I got my first Mac (1984). - Kate Foy

I'm 24 and I remember using one a lot as a kid... I don't even think I used it to type schoolwork, I just liked typing random stuff on it for fun. Also, when I worked at an elementary school in 2004/2005, we had a word processor in the office that we used frequently. - Penguin It's Cold Outside

I was using one at work in the early 90s. Maybe '92 at the latest. - CAJ, somewhere else

I've played with one before but never actually used it for anything. - Andrew Trinh from IM

The interesting bit is when you try going back to a typewriter from a computer. Messes with your head! - Kate Foy

Used one and I am 43, but never gone back to try and use one since moved to the computer. - Lyndon Washington

I'm 43 too and learned on one. Used them half way through college, and then they made us start using WordStar word processor. Dot commands, FTW?! - Rick Cogley

When I started working at Social Services in 1997 we used ballpoint pens and carbon paper. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

I used one until 1995. Only used one once since then. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I kind of want an old skool mechanical typewriter (Although I have no place to put it) so I can preserve the antiquity as long as possible. - Wirehead

Although, I think I want a proportional spaced typewriter most of all. - Wirehead

I have one in my bedroom. Though, it's for fun. All of my work was always done on a computer. The typewriter was for zines or creative projects. I like the click click click. - joey

Used one regularly until I was 23 or so. I used one infrequently at my last job, some grants are required to be typed but people don't supply e-copies. Madness. - pea

I used one when I was at college. I was a "secretary" for the undergrad music department. It was a workstudy - jamar78

I used one as a kid, maybe 3 or 4. It was cool, but huge and not as cool as Nintendo. - Mike Nayyar

Took typing class first year of high school and used one sporadically in the 60's. Not since though. - Brian Sullivan

I used one up until 1987 or so when I got a computer with a printer. My mom had an IBM Selectric that she was quite proud of. - Joey Gibson

1990. My mother had one never used one since. - M F

I used one in the mid-90's, didn't get far with it. I'm almost 20. - Jimminy Fuller

I certainly have! And I'm only 25! - Amy℠

Many times. I'm 27. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

< used. 25 - mjc

I still use one occasionally at my parent's office when they want me to type an envelope up or something. - ronin

I used one a LOT in the 80's. I just used one two weeks ago as well. It felt very quaint. - Jeremy Brooks

I took typing 101 in 1969, then took one to USC until 1973. - Russellreno

I just almost had an argument with my husband over his wanting to give away my old Brother typewriter........just seems wrong not to have one in the house. You know, for ransom notes and stuff. - suzanne

yep, learned how to type on a typewriter in the early 80s - Herb Hernandez from iPhone

I grew up with typewriters (and was hit by lighting while typing on one in my parent's basement). When I started college in 1982, there was only one computer among 40 students in my dorm. By my senior year 1985-86, there were 0.75-1.00 computers/student (helped by the Lisa/Mac release in 1984). In the 1990s at UCLA, we used typewriters occasionally to type on forms, but I left UCLA in 2000 and haven't used a typewriter in about 9 years. - Mitchell Tsai

I took typing in high school (82-85) and I owned a typewriter while I was in college. I didn't use it much because we got Macs at my college in 85-86. I think that typewriter is still at my parents' house. - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

One of my friends, Adrienne Su, http://users.dickinson.edu/~sua (now Poet-In-Residence at Dickinson College) went with me to the Harvard Bookstore browsing. I heard a strange music coming from the typewriter area. Adrienne was typing soooo fast and so musically - just dreamy. I've never heard anyone type like that since. - Mitchell Tsai

I learned to type on one in like 1990. - Brett Kelly from iPhone

Many friends typed papers in college for extra money. My roommate Howard Pollack was typing in the dark one day (on a manual typewriter), when the four of us turned on the lights to se what Howard was typing. He had been typing a transcript of our conversation (script-writing style) in real-time! Me, I never took typing in high school...ended up being a 40 wpm hunt & pecker... - Mitchell Tsai

I used my mothers as a kid, but I actually bought one for my first wife when she graduated college. - Ian May

Did in my high school typing classes, but not after that. I'm 32 - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I learned to touch type on mechanical typewriters in 1986 at school (no Australia is not a third world country!). Electric typewriters were introduced in 1987. But I have never used a typwriter at work since then. - Matt G

Used one right up until the end of high school. - Steven Perez

I played with my grandparent's when I was a kid, but I had computers most of my life. - Neal Jansons

Typing class, high school. Electric, but an actual typewriter. Yes. - Micah Wittman

Early 80s - maybe 1982 or 83-ish? We actually had our first office PC hooked up to a typewriter as the printer because the typewriter type looked better than the dot-matrix type. Naturally, once I met the Mac in 1987, I never went back. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF

I used my grandparents' one when I was about 8, so 1993. - Mitch

In the 90s, we dug out the old Olivetti and set it up for our daughter as a toy. She's now 19 and thinks of her MBP pretty much as a body part. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF

I actually used to own one and used it in college, until I bought an Osborne computer and Epson RX80 dot matrix printer my senior year. I think I gave my typewriter to my younger sister when she was in college. For some reason I never asked for it back ;-) - Jeff P. Henderson

I used to sell them when I worked at Staples. I worked there until 2005ish and still sold them. I used one as a kid too. I'm 31 - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

I have a '40s-vintage Royal sitting on display in my living room, and I type letters on it from time to time just for the fun of it. It works beautifully, and I find the mechanical feel and sound very satisfying. But then, I'm a bit odd. - Bren -- feeling merry

I got a C in typing class in middle school. (35) - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I have. (32) - Louis Gray

I first learned in high school about office machines and one in particular was the wondrous typewriter, I have not used one in awhile but at the very least I do remember. And really sometimes a simple typewriter can be a great thing, so I have used it but I don't make it a point to use it regularly. - Rem-Sleep w Ray

I actually did my college thesis on a typewriter (all 120 pages of it) - that experience was what drove me into computers - never looked back since then. - ian kennedy

I owned a manual typewriter and learned to touch type on it in 7th grade in 1982. My mom may still have it and I don't remember much about it, but I can picture it in my head. It's really fuzzy though, like my memories of Shell Beach, can't put my finger on it... - Adrian

I learnt to type on a typewriter way back in '67 - one of the best things I ever learnt - srsly - I'm still really young -] - Chris Loft

I did a typing course at school. The famous Scheidegger typing course. I was 12 or 13 in those days. So that was around '76/'77. It's probably the best thing I learned at school, because I'm still enjoying what I've learned then. - Ton Zijp

I used to use a typewriter, and I'm 24. - Will Higgins™

Some involved in air traffic in the 90s still used typewriters. - Bernie Goldbach

I have, in the 90's I am 31. Also, I believe the high school office where my mother works still has a couple that they use for adding names to certificates and the like. I will double check this with her tomorrow. - Rachel Lea Fox

I learned how to type on a manual typewriter, but haven't used one since maybe 1986. - Bonnie Foster

i'm 23, used one briefly when growing up not because we didnt have a computer (had some P1 box and a Mac Centris) but because i liked the cool mechanical sounds it made. ;-) - Paul Stamatiou

What's a typewriter? ;-P - Jeff P. Henderson

We were taught to use a typewriter at school - that was actually the only time we ever used a typewriter, for most of us, since computers were already taking over (except perhaps for form filling). We had the typewriter class and a computer class the same year, and the typewriter class did not even help for computer typing because it was on the horrible french key-layout whereas our computers had swiss keyboards - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

I have. 29 years old now. Last time was probably 2 years ago to label envelopes (I think printers remain bad at this). - Sajida H Khan

I used one many Moons ago but only because my parents had an old one at home. - Kol Tregaskes

I had, I'm 26. It was my mother's, she used it at school. But I remember her using it at work in the late 80's too. - albameccanica - Arianna

I had to type the personal info on my college applications (in 1996) but I got my Mom to help because I was afraid I wouldn't line things up correctly. - Shannon Jiménez

I did, back in the 80's as well. - David Cook

I learned to type using a typewriter during high school (mid 90's). - Kevykev

I saw one once & think i tried it, but it was like 15 years ago or so - immaterial

Yes, up until 1994, I think, I often helped my father type academic papers on our typewriter. I didn't have a computer of my own until early 1996, I believe. Used campus labs from fall of 1995 until about February. - Scott of Two Countries

I used one up until about 1988. It was an IBM Selectric. - DGentry

I'm 23 - I have seen them, but never used for anything. - Rich

I'm 36 and used one. We were tought type writing at school, but that ended in the mid 80's when the school got computers and we had to learn Basic - Martin Liechti from fftogo

i used one in jr high and part of high school in the early 80s before i saved up enough to get a printer for my apple ][e - Imabug

used one till late 90's. I found it kind of cool for "creative writing"... :)) - diego morelli

Wow.. I actually used one in junior high.. I still remember the smell of burning oil! Gee.. that was in the early 80's I think? - Sean

I'm 26 used one until HS. - Amber, Random Time Lord

I'm 41 I owned one. Used it in HS and college. - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

im 21 and own 3 typewriters - Anthony Feint

I used one in high school typing class, circa 85, that I took as an elective to better learn how to type on the computer keyboards I had for the 4 years previous. My dad used typewriters in his small business until about 89-ish when he switched over to the wordprocessing unit he had used at home for year or so prior. Actually slow for him given he had car phones when they were huge radio units, a pocket TRS-80 in the early 80s ( http://www.trs-80.com/wordpre... ), and such. - Michael W. May

i took it in high school around 1990. that was probably the last time i did - (jeff)isageek

I learned to type on one when i was 11 or so, which was in 1996. It was a very modern one, as it could store documents typed and such. I only used it for that class though. - Tom Ribbens

I'm 36, typing class in HS used electric typewriters as PC's were too expensive at the time. Had IBM "lugables" for computer class :) Teachers in school did not like the printout from dot matrix printers so even though I had a computer at home since about 1981, we still used typewriters throughout school for reports etc. - W_B_K

I learned to type before I could hold a pencil. Well, the 2-finger hunt-and-peck method of typing. I'm 38 now... I think I regularly used a typewriter for things until sometime around 1987. - Nine

i did,since i was 9 to my late teens. no computer and a writer's spirit . I'm 31 now, the typewriter belonged to my grandfather, who gave it to me before he died. It's one of my most important possessions. - Alexandre Gamela from twhirl

I taught myself to type on one, so once we got a computer I used to bash the keys really hard. We got our first pc with printer in 1986, but I still used the typewriter for letters and stuff after that til the ribbons ran dry and we couldn't buy replacements - probably around 1990 I think. - Mellissa

I used to carry around a portable electronic one in my briefcase that I'd take to high school with me every day. - Thomas Hawk

I'm 40. My mom had a typewriter, I used it once or twice just to see what it was like to type on... - Chrimmus Tad

I'm 50. Actually took typing in high school. That was mid-70's. - Norma Dennis

I'm 37 and used a typewriter in my middle school typing class. Had a computer at home too though. I feel like I'm on the cusp. - Graham English from iPhone

I have attempted to use a typewriter before. My typing career suffered a major setback when I was kicked out of the typing teachers class on the first day of school. I decided after that that taking typing would not be a good idea. - Alan Simpson

by the way check these out, this picture was taken a month ago or so: http://twitpic.com/7t485 - Alexandre Gamela

I am 30, and used to use it - Shevonne

I'll admit it ..... not the age part :) - Charlie Anzman

I had one until my third year of college, in 1989 . . . then a Commodore something or other (128?) - William Harryman

I am 43 and I used one up until 1999, which was when I got my first computer. I have it stored away in the basement. Should I ever need one for filling out a form, I'll go down there and drag it upstairs. It's a big heavy machine with a built in word processor. I stocked up on print & correction cartridges awhile back, just in case they stop making/selling them. - April Russo (app103)

I'm 28, and I last used a typewriter about 4 years ago. Usually I own one, and now that you've posted this I want to go buy another. Love them! - Lo

23 but my grandma had one, probably is still around, my impressions: the loudest keyboard I've ever used - Dobromir Hadzhiev

I stopped using a typewriter completely in '85 when I got my first PC... with an extra keyboard that allowed it to double as a typewriter! LOL! - Arleen Anderson

I have never seen a functional typewriter. I'm 22. - Garin Kilpatrick

We had the opportunity to learn how to type when we were young at school, age 11 I guess. That's how I actually learned typing! - Kris

I've used 'em, even had a junior high typing class which I did horribly at, but surprisingly learned rudimentary skills. Remember having to retype entire pages every time I made an error on a paper that was due the next day. I used to always seem to be miserably sick the nights before papers were due, and miraculously cured the next day when I turned the paper in.. I'm about 43. - motownmutt

through 92. got my first puter in 93. - Matt Soreco

I took typing in 9th grade. Glad I did too. Now can I remember margins? Not like I can in Word... - Mike Lewis

I'm 27 and I used one in elementary school for my reports - Shey, Jamaican of FF

In my senior year of college (1982-1983), I decided to write my undergraduate thesis using nroff and some macros, rather than typing the whole thing on a typewrite. - John E. Bredehoft

I had an electric typewriter when I was in college - but I didn't use it for much more than applications when I started using emacs and a dot matrix printer in 1983. - Bill Sodeman
