<i>my, that is a lot of elderly white men!</i>
To me, old guys are the best story tellers. their just-be-quiet-and-listen tone puts me at ease.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.95095-3252736Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:29:41 -0800TaftBy: schwa

I think the correlation between old folks and stories has more to do with "old people have been around longer and have more experience to draw from" than some kind of discriminatory age-ism or something. Not so sure about the male bias, though. My grandmother drove from Winnipeg to northwest Manitoba to live/work, on her own, in a Model T back in the teens, and had some fairly amazing stories to tell about that period in history. I'm glad I thought to videorecord some of them before her death.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.95095-3253318Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:04:23 -0800AlterscapeBy: Kelly Tulsa

Really enjoying this so far... the stories by entomologist <a href="http://webofstories.com/play/51832">Thomas Eisner</a> are fascinating.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.95095-3253476Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:10:16 -0800Kelly Tulsa
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
