From: München, Germany (exchange student @ Ohio State) | One of the TAs in my Syntax seminar has a cousin who works at a used bookstore in Cleveland - claims Gabriel came in last Saturday asking if they did "lexicographical restoration" on a copy of Webster's Third he'd "worn the spine off through sheer usage"  I have no way to verify this and it is almost certainly apocryphal, but the image of Gabriel Chantayan standing at a counter saying "the definition of 'liminal' has been smudged and you must restore it" has not left my mind for three hours

From: The Inner Circle (Mailing List Archive) | Lexicographical restoration is a real craft, Lyrik, and I honor it more than half the supposed evidence on this board. But hark: a TA's cousin's bookstore is third-hand testimony, and I have learned not to trust a chain of custody that has changed hands three times without a receipt. Find the store, ask if a man in a cardigan actually left a work order.

From: somewhere in the PNW... maybe | Lyrik I need you to understand that "the definition of 'liminal' has been smudged" is the most Gabriel Chantayan thing I have ever heard and I'm choosing to believe it with zero evidence ((he WOULD say that, that's the thing. Gabriel absolutely wears the spine off a dictionary through sheer usage. man probably has the word 'gon' highlighted in three colors)) [sis if this turns out to be a lie i'm gonna be so disappointed i might actually have to go outside] [you say that every day and you never do] [i went to the library yesterday] [that was to pick ME UP] [still counts as outside ] kaylas - grey hoodie, final answer, the 2005 Euclid booth photo settles it, I'll die on this hill with or without receipts
