Over at Shawn Powers’ blog, he figured he’d be stupid and try the Cinnamon challenge. After talking with him, he suggested I try it.
Here is the result.
Enjoy.

In the 1800's, when hand-worked printing presses were in operation, 'sorts' were the technical term for individual letters. Solo characters became words and words became sentences.
The modern frustrated phrase, "I'm out of sorts", originates when the master printer looked down at his empty trays and lamented he could go no further in his work as all of his letters were used.
This is why I changed the blog title from "Amnesia" to "Out of Sorts", because it seems like I'm always looking for words and I'm constantly running out. :)

C’mon. Tell the truth. That was chocolate wasn’t it.

As I noted on Shawn’s blog, you and he are just insane.
I like that in a person.

Nathan — I wish it were chocolate. It wouldn’t have made my eyes water so bad.
It’s a really tough challenge. You should do it!

The most quotable line: “If I spew, I’m gonna be so pissed.” :-D
I can’t believe you made it! Even seconds faster than Shawn! NOW I’m impressed.

It’s true, Kate beat my time.

I could see the fear in your eyes at the beginning, and the triumph at the end!
Very well done!

Yeah, there were a few times that I didnt’ think I’d make it. I had to concentrate really hard on getting that stuff down.
Yes, I still love Cinnamon and Shawn looks like he’d pretty much enjoy anything. Well except risque positions in a prison setting, so lets hope he never gets arrested, shall we? ;)
