I wonder how many lawyers and business folk have to talk out loud to get the sense of the contracts they write.
I talk mostly to give me something to listen to, and keep the echoes in my brainpan from confusing me.

Greg, in the introduction to Marathon man, screenwriter William Goldman said that he used to have an office in a building in town where he’d do his writing. When he was working on Marathon Man, he’d get really focused on certain scenes, such as when his Nazi villain was torturing the hero to find out if it was safe to go to the bank to get his diamonds from his deposit box. One night, one of the women working in the office nearby caught him in the hallway on his way home, gave him an evil eye and said, “I know what you’re doing in there.” William had no idea what she was talking about. Later, one day, when he was talking with one of his kids, his son said, “Dad, do you know that you talk out loud when you’re writing?”
I always told my children that the best way to proof read for logic and continuity is to do it out loud (or at least to hear it in your head). During her senior year of college, my daughter one-upped me with that technique by insisting that not only should you read your papers out loud, you should do it with an English accent to give it that educated cachet.
It is also a well-established debugging technique to “talk to the teddy bear.” Amazing how many bugs are simply typos. Problem is, when you look at your own code, you see what you meant to type, not what you actually typed. Although I often read my code out loud, I must admit I have never tried reading my code out loud with an English accent.
I find it funny that you mention Goldman when he just sued Disney for Zootopia saying it was HIS idea. but just took as long as the sloth to FILE THE CLAIM it seems.
okay, that would be WAY pass the last drop for me I swear. not only the guy wants to control Hubris store when he has NO VOICE OR SHARE INTO IT. but he is also talking their ears out while they are trying to sleep.
overstaying your welcome MUCH? even more, considering the fact you weren’t invited at first?
that would be the point I would either be strangling him, OR he would be flying out the door with my shoe print size 15 on his ass.
or maybe, more fun, i start to play “hunt the intruder” with a paintball gun while willingly not caring that the doesn’t have a mask.
I always have trouble trusting people who’s eyes I cannot see. Does this guy have some? Will they be revieled in a dramatic moment?
Probably has snake, goat or beady scary kind of eyes under there
paste and hubris aren’t being silent while he blathers they are being silent because they are in dream land and not hearing a word he says. he should make a call to lowel he would love his ideas
David is just like cockroaches, he shows up and never leaves. No wonder Paste wanted out of home.
Bet David is still there at sunup. Morning offroad bike ride, if you want to keep talking, eh? Bet he’d last a block and a half.
Wait, that does look like sunup there, the light on the wall. So they slept through it all. Heh.
