infinityisalie: I preffered B-Side (which closed right?) and Mystery Train in Amherst to Turn it Up, although I do like the frightening stairway in. Also, I hope you grabbed The Worlds Greatest Burrito at Bueno y Sano, located where the far inferior Cha Cha Cha used to reside.
Hugh Jass: I want to change the punctuation so it says the opposite of what was intended, in Yoda-postfix: Walk, do not. Run on ramp.
Holy Cuteness: I like your blogs, espacially the adorablog design!
Akash: Half of the world. What is it ? The world is divided up into seas and continents. There are hot places and there are cold. There are many religions in the world. There are animals, insects, fish etc. There are gases, liquids, metals etc. There is man and woman. There is good and bad. There is happy and sad. The answer is non of the above or even closely related to the above. need help with this one and ASAP....
rick: wait, is the name of your font "big gay"?
sushiesque: currently, the name of my font is "this is a test". I've only done I, J, and H (in that order), and it gets bigger and gayer with each successive letter.
Quise: Ok I have a riddle for you all. "my presence is needed, even though many do like like me around, I can create life and sound but also cause fear..... what am I?
Jack Morava: You might like `The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon (nowhere near as good as Valis, tho). There's a huge wiki page about it... (:+{)}
chris: You should submit this to "Why a Tittle?" ! I'm a huge fan of your page.

I want a fat white bunny named Clarendon, and a fluffy white kitten named Union Pearl. I want a small black rabbit named Helvetica, and a chinchilla named Paris 1960. I want a turtle named Garamond. A puppy named Mister Frisky. A Maine coon kitten named Morris Golden. A bat named Zapf. A cricket named Vitus. Mrs. Eaves, a grey morning dove. And a jar of sea monkeys, each and all called Myriad. An illegitimate child, Akzidenz Grotesk.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference I want pets so I can name them after typefaces:
That's strange, one of the names we were kicking around for our new black-and-white bunny was Garamond, mostly because he has an exclamation point on his back. The sad part is that there were actual discussions of whether it was a true Garamond exclamation point.
But he wound up being Neo instead. Go fig.

And a goldfish named Gill Sans?

Yeah, actually. :) That was in the post, orginally, but then I edited the heck out of it. There was also a hound named Baskerville, which I deemed just too obvious.

A sleek pony named Palatino? A dopey parakeet named Wingdings? A new pigeon named Courier? A classy orangutan named Bembo? - If Akzidenz Grotesk is your illegitimate child AND the parent of black-rabbit Helvetica, did you love a bunny _too much_?

I wondered if there would be a typeface appropriate for naming a hedgehog. And there is. At fontshop.com I discovered Thornface Extra Sharp. It can be viewed at: http://www.fontshop.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.fontdisplay&packagefontid=0&displayfontid=C.105662.0.3&view=single&searchID=0&searchby=keyword&searchletter=A&searchstr=sharp&totalrecords=3&startrow=1&records=20&currpage=1 If my hedgehog was still alive I would rename him. Nobody could ever pronounce Isipho anyway.

I once named a frog for a boss of mine (the frog was a gift from me and several coworkers.) The frogs name was Frutiger.

I once named a cat Impact. Now he's Roadkill, God rest his Seoul. Now I want to get a vampire bat so I can name it Fang Song. We had a goldfish that got so big we could have named it Twelve Ton Sushi.

The assistant in our marketing/publications office gave us a beta fish. We named him Gill, Gill Sans.

Speaking of Bembo, has everyone seen Bembo's Zoo?
