His life is just a series of foot notes.

Thought it said “duck” for a minute there. Duck is masculine however.

The film goes to eleven. A knobs-on hands-down winner for consideration by the Academy.

And talks with his hands.

Thanks his Mama for the talent.

His Father for his drink’s and a non-lightweight abilities.

Twinkle Toes.

Yo escribo con las patatas.

Wow, Daniel Day Lewis was really a stretch when they cast the role.

pretty good scribing instrument on 35mm color negative Teresa!

Señor Carlos writes with his feet, for all to see. He teaches classes on Pig- Latin, and has many zapatos to protect his gift. He’s got a big collection of pens and pencils to teach his students! Oink!

Should we check in again on Bloomsday (16 June)?

Or is this merely some other schmuck who in Spanish writes with his feet (whatever that Mexican writer’s insult to another writer is supposed to mean)?

Am I writing with my feet? Not really; but that’s only because of the physical difficulty….
