Distract the Mailman by rahan
September 14th, 2012 2:28 PM / Location: 41.878113,-87.62979plan B : write to the mailman and have him reply and correspond.
plan C : disguise in mailman costume and argue with the mailman about who's street where at.
Then, here i was in the street, think think, when suddenly a mailman appeared. I was so deeply thinking that i forgot about life ! you know, that strange thing that always get in the way of your plan. But i felt reinforced, a strange feeling from afar, couldn't tell what it was back then but now i know : it was you, it was sf0, it was MY SCORE. Plus I'm lvl 1 now so, i knew i had the capacity to distract the mailman, right ? let the vote decide.
ok, back to the mailman to distract... now. What do i have ? an harmonica in my pocket and... running through my veins, transmitted by generations of Quebecois party animals, the natural capacity to jig.
Followed by the followings :
-not many people play the harmonica those days. My grand father did, he was playin blues and jazz.
-Oh really! like that (hear me showing off my brand new, chicagolly acquired, BIG tone blues harmonica skillz).
-hey, you might become a musician one day !
-thanks, i'll take that as a compliment.
-etc etc
So he's from mississipi but moved to chicago, then to texas where he was raised by his mother. He also likes apple strudle.
At this point, i was climbing the stairs up to my apartment thinking : this was lot of fun but... what about the proof ! So i ran back to 19h street with laptop (closed to look less suspicious) and ask for a few thing so you can hear a little of him... yeah and me shouting like an idiot to make sure my mic gets it...

As for pictures (I don't know whether this also works for other media), the easiest way is to use the proof button. This will insert a short command into the editor. All you have to do then is add the number of the item in your media gallery, so for instance:
[proof:1, size:100, align:left] for the first item in your media gallery, etc.
Wow, and I've been coding in HTML this whole time. O_O
couldn't manage to alternate text with proofs... can anyone tell me ?
