Shorthand

Just today I was wondering how to write "penumbra" in shorthand.  Now I know.  How did anyone ever understand these scribbles?

The recent tragi-gasmic death of David Carradine seems to have caused a disturbance in the collective chi of the martial arts community.  For proof, look no further than the comments I received today from Si-Fu Richard M. Mooney.  As he explains, I have misunderstood the nature of the Powerful Empty Force and violated his copyright interests.  He also provides some pointers in the art of Lin Kong Jing to another of my commenters.

This blog post has generated some interest in the past, including a mysterious offer from a person in England to purchase the rare book.  The sale fell through after many e-mails when the purchaser refused to meet my secret agent (code name "joshmas") in Trafalgar Square the following week and pay for the book in Polish Zlotys (cash only).

As a result of Mr. Mooney's litigious comments I've now had to "lawyer up" and retain counsel.  I know I'm in good hands though because a couple weeks ago I personally witnessed my attorney exhibiting a powerful empty force of his own the day after we consumed too much Booker's 126.8 proof bourbon out by the pool.
