In light of the onion skin fail (it jams in every printer I've tried), I need to find a suitable alternative. What I really need is a good paper store.

Imprimatur fail
Well, it looks like onion skin is out.

I had the surreal experience of hearing three children sing along to "Handlebars" by the Flobots in the backseat of my car.
