I liked this.

Listen up. I know the **** you've been saying behind my back. You think I'm stupid. You think I'm immature. You think I'm a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I'm Comic Sans, and I'm the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes ****ing Gutenberg. (http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/monologues/15comicsans.html)

Being a bit of a font junkie, I loved it. Papyrus is a little pretentious for a drinking buddy though, don't you think? I see ole Papy more with Garamond, don't you? Sort of Romeo and Juliette? Sans serif and serif. :D

Is that how it works, TGal? Font genders are based on serifs or lack of? :rofl: That's funny.


Someone pop a cap in Comic Sans and end this wannabe gangstas life.

I've got one of the greatest fonts out there, ElizabethR. An ex-NASA engineer scanned the handwriting of Queen Elizabeth, this one

and cooked it up into a font. Cool thing is her handwriting was unintelligible...

The engineer, don't know his name, ran a software company that produced some great applications for the Mac. Unfortunately a stroke has forced him into retirement about 4 years ago. Its sad because I still use some of his software every day.

He put all of his fonts up for free, they are quite the nice set and are win/mac compatible.

And MoosePad works quite nicely on a Mac. Also free.
There is a windows calendar program if you are really, really into calendars of all types.
