Kristin's A Papyrus Magnet

Not only is their website full of it, I actually got a 4C brochure dropped on my front porch with an abundance of Papyrus!

A New Submitter!

It's always great to get submissions and we have a new contributor. Nick writes:

Oh yes, it's true:

Yes, you understand correctly -- the personalised plates use Papyrus; the regular issue use Trajan. And just when you thought it couldn't get any lamer, the new regular issue will use -- wait for it -- Times New Roman:

I'm thinking Arial's going to happen somewhere soon; I can feel it.

Great site -- keep up the good work!

Best,

What a submission! I never wanted to move to Kansas more in my LIFE! Really though... How can you separate vanity from Papyrus, you know? I mean, if you got it, flaunt it.

Papyrus. You go grrrl.

You Don't Have to be Prince

... to (heart) Papyrus. On a pop in to myspace, this ad was waiting at the home page:

The Hart - Rollins Family (hearts) Papyrus

I finally went up to Stone Mountain Saturday. It's a huge ol' hunk of gravel in the middle of north Georgia, and they built a tourist trap around it. If you want history, this looked good. The link in the title is for the tourist trap stuff.

Georgia is one of those states that is home to the ten commandment crowd. It's a place where guys like Congressman Westmoreland here, featured in the following (awesome) Colbert Report show clip, depend on that kind of crowd.



He doesn't have to know them or believe in them. He just needs an ignorant constituancy that believes it and him when he says he does. After getting a good look at a good part of the crowd there at Stone Mountain though, it's easy to understand why they don't believe in evolution.

There were certainly exceptions. This family for instance, has an obvious appreciation for the finer things in life- like family and typography:

Be Gay. Be Christian. Be BOTH!

So I went to the [gay] Pride thing in Piedmont Park Friday and ran across this:



Yeah it's Papyriffic.



Top it off with the guy who designed. Say "Hi", Keith.



If your taste in beverages is anything like your taste in fonts, I'll drink whatever yer offering!

Another Healthy Dose

At another fitness store, I saw this box of tea:



I'm sorry but my phone cam is a little dull so the "Sharpen More" filter is my last resort. It's ugly but more readable. It'll never do the tattered Payrussian edges justice.

Papyrus Update

So I had to stop again. They updated the sign that I posted earlier. They updated it with more Papyrus, and more fonts in general. This Bilboard (swear it's been focus grouped) is 40% more effective.

Dunkin' Delay

Sorry for the delay, folks. There's a ton of shiz goin' on as with anyone, everyone. But I have a slew of Papyrus that needs to go up. I was really happy to see this guy this AM. I was snatching up donuts for the office and wow, holy cow, there's the best font!



So hopefully there will be more soon... I always try to get submissions up as they come in so send 'em if you got 'em!

Doing Papyrus's Bidding

Just found this...

Papyrus on Ebay...

That auction is covered Pappy. And Papyrus's lustre is magnified ten fold used in conjunction with an intensely warped looking Comic Sans. Well done, garden-path (WTF kind of user name is that?!) I have no idea what the hell that is but I want it. I'm totally going to snipe in a $500 bid at the last minute. Wow. Thanks Amy!

3D Freakin' Sweet!

Look at this!



Look at that guy!



Holy crap. That was at that thar Apple Store You know Apple is known for it's sleek, modern design and the packaging for this product is certainly no exception.

I did however find myself asking "why in the 3-D world would anybody buy this and how come they're so stupid?" Papyrus is on the site too.

Slimmer Waist, Bigger Chest

You know, I tried the vegan thing there for a minute and I was doing pretty well for like a week. I had been borderline vegetarian forever anyhow so I wanted to try it at least. It failed because 1, there is no ranch dressing in a vegan diet. F that. And B, soy makes your boobs bigger. It has something to do with estrogen levels but the fact is, if I can't eat meat, there's no real point in having hot tits.

I still like eating healthy and saw these at a health food store in Marietta:



And yeah... Speaking of pudding:
