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.

How I know that I am in Connecticut

I went to see Juno with my parents at the Showcase Cinemas Buckland Hills in Manchester, Connecticut. No one laughed at jokes about the following:

  • Girls who wear vegan shoes and read McSweeney's
  • Suburban architecture
  • Sonic Youth

And then we went to an outdoor mall with an unwieldy name—The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk—where Williams-Sonoma, Brooks Brothers, Anthropologie, Jasmine Sola, Jos. A. Bank, and other upscale storefronts were arranged around strips of parking lot into a one-story faux-downtown, like Newbury Street without all that architecture or all that walking.

I guess I'll have to see the movie to find out what's so funny about vegan shoes.

I resent that. I totally laughed at the McSweeney's reference, albeit I was the only one.

I saw Juno yesterday (finally!) and was also the only one in the very full audience who laughed audibly at the McSweeney's reference (among other things)...it's okay...you're not alone...
