Do You Have A "test Phrase"?

Deep into that darkness peering,
Long I stood there wondering, fearing
Doubting, dreaming dreams
No mortal ever dared to dream before

"In the town where I was born,

Lived a man who sailed the sea.

And he told us of his life,

In the land of submarines."

"This day winding down now,
At God speeded summer's end
In the torrent salmon sun
In my seashaken house
On a breakneck of rocks........"

[freewheelingvagabond]

"In the town where I was born,

Lived a man who sailed the sea.

And he told us of his life,

In the land of submarines."

I write a passage from one of my favorite poets:

 

No!

I'm going down 2 Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy
She'll want me from my head 2 my feet

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes she will
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It doesn't say or mean anything that I know of. It's just what my hand wants to write when it's not writing anything.

 

It came from an old Voice of America commercial from when I was a child. There was a young (I'm assuming Russian) child in chains repeating the (phonetically spelled, from what little I can remember) phrase during the short commercial. I once ran it by a Russian friend of mine, but she couldn't make any sense of it.

 

I have no idea how it became my test phrase, but I've been using it since before I can remember. I used to write it as one long word. I started breaking it about a year ago.

I used to use a barrage of horrific Russian obscenities, as it tends to have a lot of ascenders and descenders in it, and from time to time I still do.

 

But now I tend to prefer to write out the lyrics to "By The Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond", it's a lot more refined and less likely to offend any passing Russians.

"if this doesn't work well, I am sending it back"

[kkshadow]

Tantae molis erat Romanam condere gentem.

 

It's what I remember from Latin class in high school.

 

Also Dura! Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit. When we graduated, everyone got a leather keychain with that phrase in gold embossed on it.

Something like "Endure!" You will look back fondly on these times." Thank you, Miss Fleming!

For some strange reason I write " One man and his dog went to mow a meadow " I think it's come from the kids.

Or the dogs name Albie Albertino as I like the way the pen flows.

It's a pug for the people who were wondering.

[MidasAU]

I usually write the name of the pen, the ink, color and what I am thinking about the writing. Hopefully very smooth with no gaps. Started writing easily. I should use this pen/ink more to do such and such.
