Editing parties can be a distracting environment in which to edit, despite the usual fun that makes up for the lack of practicality. Last Saturday, after at least 4 hours of reading, writing, critiquing, and commenting, people got rather chatty. Therefore, a couple of us who were still trying to fight through the papers started to read them (quietly) out loud to help concentrate. As the chatter continued, the concentrated out loud readers got louder and louder, which reminded the distracters about their papers. End result: all of us reading the papers we were each editing out loud...at the same time...at the top of our lungs. The sound clip below, if I remember correctly, is me reading Eric's paper, Bethany reading Carolyn's paper, Christine reading my paper, and Carolyn reading Christine's.
