I [heart] Papyrus

Ghost Town ♥'s Papyrus

2009-06-15T10:07:00.003-05:00

There are a couple scenes where Bertram is at Gwen's mummy thing and of course, the promotional material is designed with Papyrus.

It is like, an Egyptian mummy. Papyrus makes a lot of sense there since it's always awesome and makes a lot of sense to use anytime, all the time, now and forever.

Movie was actually kind of fun too.

flickr mail? really?

2009-06-03T11:15:00.003-05:00

I wouldn't have thought to check but I am glad I did. Mike sent a link (via flickr mail) to this comic.

Thanks Mike!

now that I can post again, I can share submissions again

See, now why use decorative fonts for accents when you can use it everywhere?!

This would be the first image I've been able to add in months... thank you blogger. You suck ever so thoroughly.

This was in the same steet mall as Jummy Buffet's Margaritaville. Yes, everything was awesome.

You can rent these photobooths for weddings, parties, gang bangs and so forth. The flyer/ad/postcard deal has the #1 font of all time on it:

First, the Papyrus and the nonsense. For two years now, upon returning to the MARTA parking deck, my truck is seriously ailing, and required repair. Hopefully, this does not become as traditional or regular as Papyrus. This was on the car shop counter:

And now, just for Shlitz and Pickles, a best of list. This is my "best of" for albums released in 2008. The stipulations are one, it had to be a 2008 release. Second, I had to have it in my collection. Third, and most importantly, the album had to be good, listenable, and entertaining throughout the cd, greater than about 65% of the cd. That means if it were a ten track album, less than three or four songs would find themselves on the wrong side of the "Next Track" button. So without further (or any) adieu, here we go.

5. Ben Folds - Way To Normal
Standout song: Bitch Went Nuts
(online) "You Don't Know Me"

4. The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride
Standout Song: Lovecraft In Brooklyn
(online) Sax Rohmer #1

3. She & Him - Volume One
Standout song: Black Hole
(online) This is Not a Test

2. Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer
Standout song: The Grey Estates
(online) The Grey Estates

1. Islands - Arm's Way
Standout song: Creeper
(online) Creeper

That's it. Give some of them guys a listen. Hope you like a few. Happy New Year everyone.

Papyrus is frothing with holiday spirit

This came in the mail today:

A sentiment made only more meaningful by the usage of Papyrus.

Merry Christmas everyone, from the bottom of my heart. The top of it is reserved for Papyrus love and you can't have any of it.

Hi there,

Stumbled upon your blog - and love the theme! Anyway, I'm sure this activity will prove to be somewhat addictive, seeing how much this font gets used by local businesses here in Ottawa, Canada.

Thanks for the day's smile...

Amanda

And thank you for sending that Papyrus sighting!

Well it is now, buddy!

If that ain't mediocrity at it's finest, then slap my sack around and call me a tommyknocker.

My letter to the Georgia Department of Transportation

2008-10-21T13:21:00.004-05:00

Who is in charge of installing traffic lights? Do they drive anywhere these lights go up? If they did, I would think they would put more thought into their installation.

The lights in this city are ill-timed, if timed, and likely, are not timed, turning from red to green whenever. This is probably one of the most significant contributors to traffic congestion.

Georgia DOT's solution to all traffic issues: more lights!

So my question is, what qualifications do you need, and what sort of accountability measures are standard for the people who make the traffic signal decisions. I know some downs syndrome kids and a monkey who could do a better job with this than whoever is doing it throughout Fulton and Cobb county.

Specifically though, and in all seriousness, the lights on 17th and McCaslin by Atlantic Station are absolutely unnecessary. And if they have to be there, make them smarter. They hinder through traffic on 17th, which actually has cars driving down it.

Secondly, the light on State St and North Avenue is useless. All you need is a sensor for State St traffic because otherwise, there's no reason for North Avenue to catch a red there. State St is not that busy.

Since the public you are supposed to serve can't seem to hold you accountable, please try to respect yourselves and do your very best at work. What you have been doing is haphazard and irresponsible at best.

Hope all is well with you Ty. Thanks a lot!

Kristen sent us a smorgasbord of specimens and writes:

Ohhh....do I ever have some papyrus for you!

I have a whole album on facebook. Haha.

Enjoy these tasty treats...

Just in time for Christmas in July!

Speaking of capers... Ron Paul's supporters seem to be staging something along that lines according to HuffPo.

Good news!

Oh, and thanks a ton Kristen.

Enough already!

Sometimes marketers see a concept or treatment and turn it into the town bike. Now, everyone wants a ride.

Let's look at who's Aping Advertising Copycats now.

The first ad that made me not want to see another spokes-asshole dancing was this one here:

If that doesn't make you want to gouge your everything out, ask your dominatrix to do it for you because you are a sadist.

This guy came out during the last superbowl as ya'all might recall:

There's a lot of copying going on there... the cartoon spokes-reptile, the thriller dance, you name it. The commercial is just not funny, original, or effective in any way.

Here's the newest rumpshaking abomination (as far as I know):

The whole caveman thing was dumb to begin with, so let's just go ahead pump the suck on the whole endeavor there, Geico. Way to go. You suck.

This sphincter-wrinklin' trend has made its way into ad banners as well:

LowerMyBills.suk or com or whatever does this shit ALLLLLLLLLLL the time. I'm not sure if boner up there and the lowermybills stuff comes from the same place, but there's a whole blog devoted to the calvacade of suck that is the falling out of the ass of lowermybills' online marketing department. Check it out.

http://lowermybillswatch.blogspot.com

I just want to find the jackhole responsible for those damn banners and shake them.

Well, as you can see, dancing has had its day. A word of advice to people preparing to launch any advertising campaigns: check to see if the "concept" (used loosely) includes dancing and if it does, do yourself a favor and immolate yourself.

Yeah whatever... It's important

Everybody is doing it; their tribute to the passionate commentator and political newsman, Tim Russert. I wanted to say something too.

The guy had so much vitality and passion that it was shocking to hear the news of his death. He seemed like he could go on as hard-hitting and comprehensive and precise as he was forever. If someone told me he was going to die, I would have argue that "He can't. He simply can not die. Especially now. We need him now." Like the Stones say, "you can't always get what you want." So we are now without...

I recall my passion for Ron Paul's candidacy. He was one of the presidential contenders that had not had their moment with Tim. As Ron Paul supporters, we were very determined to get Ron Paul all the press we could as we saw the media was largely ignoring he was even in the race. We all bound together via the web to bombard him with messages to encourage Tim to interview Ron Paul and eventually, he did. Tim Russert put him through the ringer. When I thought Ron Paul could do no wrong, Tim Russert was the man that made me think more about those causes Ron Paul was fighting for, in which I too believed. Consequently, I started to reexamine my own beliefs. Not many people on TV, or anywhere really, can do that so effectively.

Here's part one of his interview with Dr. Ron Paul:

Follow the youtube link for subsequent portions.

Mr. Tim Russert, you will be thoroughly missed. My condolences to his family and friends.
