TRACER HAND has a name so peculiar and interesting that I didn't know what sex he was (maybe 'Tracer' is a bit like 'Tracy'?), and also thought it might be a pen-name. But now I wonder if he is the latest in a long line, descending from Judge LEARNED HAND and his brothers, who made big legal decisions in NYC c. the 1920s. Maybe the Hands *always* have strange and interesting names.
TRACER HAND always writes with poise, wit, a sense of intelligence and control. Yet there is never any trace of arrogance or ego. In this self-effacing quality he feels different from much of ilx.
I can't really work out what TRACER HAND would be like as a real person. Is it true that he is very attractive?
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 19 February 2003 21:35 (twenty-three years ago)
Also: LEARNED HAND! I imagine is pronounced as "learn-ed" like fancy like. That's fantastic.
Tracer Hand is stunningly attractive, some might say Paul Barman like.

>> Spacey's hand tracer << Kevin has the weirdest stalker
Kevin Spacey has a very creepy stalker in London.
The fan is obsessed with his Spacey's hands. Every time she manages to get into an event he's at, she brings paper and marker pens so she can trace them.
Spacey usually complies, and once even offered to take his shoes off and let her draw round his feet.
Strangely, the nutjob turned this down.

Last night I dreamed that Tracer Hand made an LP, on which he did impressions of 5 different musical artists, twice each, adding up to 10 tracks.
I was amazed at the quality of the Bob Dylan impression. It was in 1980s Dylan mode, say INFIDELS or EMPIRE BURLESQUE.
Then there were two Ian Dury pastiche tracks. But I don't recall the rest.
