It did! I saw it on a table tent in the cafeteria last week. I was going to take a picture with my iPhone, but the designer said she had a pdf of it. I asked her to send it to me, but I realized I'm not sure whether I could upload the pdf image here. So I may go ahead and get the iPhone pic after all. I'll have to come up with a good excuse to tell my lunch companions to avoid revealing its origins!  :laugh:

Yes, you can upload a pdf!

So, today I used three Brokeisms before 9 am! First I responded to a disappointed friend on Facebook, "If you don't got nothing, you don't need nothing." Then, I said, "We're here to guard the sheep, not to shoot them." Then, I was taking my mom to church and I said, ". . ." Oops, I'm having a senior moment. It will come to me as soon as I post this!

"If you don't got nothing, you don't need nothing."

I googled this quote to make sure I had it right and came upon this: http://brokebackmountaintribute.blogspot.com/2014/02/brokeback-mountain-ch-136-141-complete.html. Billing itself as the "Complete Brokeback Mountain Novel", it has Annie Proulx's text in red, Larry McMurtry's in black and Diana Ossana's in green, with added text in blue. Also there are numerous illustrations, most of them taken from the movie.

My questions are: how can people do this and get away with it? And why? Also, how did he/she know what was Larry's and Diana's writing? Also, I didn't see ANY text in red.

But even more mind boggling was this at the end: "All text in blue written here by Vernon Jet Gardner. Copyright 2005-2013. Reproduction in any form or use of unique characters is forbidden unless written permission is received from the author."   :o

Today two of my colleagues here at work are in all-day seminars. One has her work-at-home day today. The fourth just left for the day (why so early I have no idea). As she was leaving, I said, "Ill be here all alone. At least I'll be enjoying the peace and quiet."  ;D
