A voluntary profession, a Halfcrier will print out a list of the day's new inventions on the 1/2 Bakery, take it to the window of his/her house, and shout it at all who pass like a crude and probably unwanted RSS feed.
Selfmade bullhorns and costumes are appreciated. Near perfect grammar encouraged,
but for the sake of realism, not required.

And how do you propose they do that? |

I would like to do it, but in my little New England city, I'm sure no passersby would understand the reference. |

I suppose we would all use electromagnets and theoretical physics, or just roll the day's newspaper into a cone. |

London still has an official town crier (a friend of mine got to work with him when he was temping and his agency got him mixed up with a professional clown... long story), maybe we should get in touch. |
