no you cannot vote on comic sans.

do you know that you can't delete threads?

ps: impact.

Comic Sans, all the way. It's a douchebag's preferred font.

The Courier one above belongs under serif category. Be precise. Typography is a shit fucking serious business.

Not when you're typing in Comic Sans!

Hyuk hyk hyuk!

comic sans is the font by & for middle skoolerz everywhere!

Do you know what a the 'serif' refers to in the 'sans [without] serif' thing? Well, the 'serifs' are the little dangly bits. You see on the 'S' of the serif? How the extremities of the 'S' have a 2-4 pixel dangly bit? That's a serif.

Edit: I only point this out because there are lots of fonts that, technically, fall into the categories of 'serif' or 'sans serif' and it's a peculiarity of typography that these two variations on Helvetica* have come to assume a name that was originally merely a technical, descriptive detail of other fonts.

*I'm presuming it's Helvetica, I think all of the Arial/ unicode family are variations on Helvetia.

yes, i do know that.

Cripple Fiiiiiiiight!!!!!!!!

i'm talking about font types not typefaces.

Does 'font type' not come under the area 'typography'?

CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!!1111

i read your post until "because".

I'm not really following what glice is trying to say, are you being weird now, or a cock?

Anyway, I'm thinking of actually designing a font as a part of my thesis (because typography is one of the few things that interests me, in life). But knowing my (lack of ) skilzz, and the fact that garamond was made 500 years ago, I'm probably going fail big time.

typography is so very nice but so very difficult to do REALLY well.

When I was a child I was taught some basic calligraphy.

he prefers "prick".

for example, if you were to ask him "do you want a cock in yr ass, you twat?" he would reply "no, a prick, you cunt."

<---- happy to help.

:)

No he doesn't. considering his postings in the past, it's evident that he indeed is fond of cock. Preferably gothic sans-serif, sometimes bold cock.

Italicized cocks are nice because they totally hit the sides. Well, one side anyway.

is a sans-serif cock one that's been circumcized?

I was just clarifying what Verme was saying here - "i'm talking about font types not typefaces."

That is to say, 'font' is a subset of typography, thus dismissing his negation; I couched my dismissal in a rhetorical question so as not to enflame anyone's passions. God knows you're a horny bunch at the best of times.

I'm a bit shocked that you don't seem to know the difference between a cock, prick or cunt (especially as I was, at best, being a twat).

You should totally design a font. You'd be dripping in fanny if you did.

I just want to note that I prefer white cocks over black ones.

You know what Herr god? You're one of the few new-ish posters who's not shit. You hear that, other new-ish posters? Be less shit please.

I've actually been around since the old board, but up until recently my posting was as prudish as a devout Catholic teenage African girl that actually knows how AIDS is contracted.

That said, thank you good Sir.

:( is my only response.

that and, hey, i think i'm pretty rad!

don't worry, I think yr pretty rad too.

please note that it took glice over 3 years to consider amerikkkangawd a not-shit new-ish poster.

Haha, yr pretty neat yrself. Don't worry, I wasn't at all offended.

Excuse me, but this was about me.

I'm eating stuffed mushrooms with sweet peppers, lime, beef and topped with camembert. That's how I roll.

Yeah, you're not so bad. Certainly preferable to the general yawn-fest that is the regulars (yes, I am looking your way, 'slowly'). But it's not about what I think now, is it?

If it is, I'd like my crown now please.

tl;dr - I'm awesome.

I've seen better.

kinda kinderwhore-este?





actually, i like that look. i think i'll keep it for myself.

now that i've read your post:

mr. glice,

"serif" and "sans-serif" are not variations on helvetica.
"serif" and "sans-serif" are still a technical, descriptive detail of the typeface.

by themselves they are not "typefaces" they are "font types" or "types of typefaces".

therefore, i conclude that my "horny" premeditated response at your post was not incorrect and, considering your manners, nor inadequate.

Ok, cool, well done. 'Typography' and 'typeface' are not the same word, but yes, you're right, well done, help yourself to a prize from the prize trolley.

^^^ you mean brain-wrestling over the finer details of typefaces, typefonts and font types isn't interesting??

I suspect that the next thing yr going to tell us is that you don't walk the streets with a violin case just begging to be hit with fruit. hmmm?

keep up on the pedestal, glice.

you're THE best.
no, not shit at all.

Didn't someone already shout cripple fight? Did you help yourself to the prize from the trolley? Or do you just want me to say cunt off? Either way, you're right, well done, help yourself to a prize from the prize trolley.

DON'T DO IT, VERME.

the prize trolley is full of stuffed penis dolls that have been mass-produced by gypsies.

as soon as you try to snuggle up to one, they fall apart.

:(

What a curious insight into your childhood that was.
