Fonts aren’t supposed to be sexy

For whatever reason, my work machine did not have Helvetica installed on it, I recently learned.  No big deal; all the fonts are housed on one of the many servers that this company uses, so I go to said folder labeled “Fonts,” only to discover that there are about 16 sub-folders, of equally ubiquitous titles.  While perusing through one of these folders, I scrolled past this file.  No, your eyes do not deceive you.

If this were a link to a website, I would most certainly have steered clear from examining this file.  But since whatever this is, is claiming to be a TrueType font, I couldn’t help but examine what the preview was going to generate.

Now I’m too lazy to go back and take a print-screen of the preview page, but I can assure you that it is indeed a typeface, albeit one nobody in their right mind would probably use.  Even sex sites and porn shops would have a hard time using such a typeface because as amusing as it is, aesthetically, it’s a pretty shitty font.  Google it yourself, if you’re curious.

Photos: Superheroes Day at Fernbank

Since many of us that live in Atlanta are away, estranged, or distanced from our parents, or are just simply rotten children, we spend the day trolling at Fernbank Museum on Fathers Day.  The chicks don superhero costumes for Superheroes Day, giving a lot of the douchebag miserable dads who feel like an adequate Father’s Day is spending home alone but were drug out by the wife and kids for the kids, a little bit of reprieve, getting to ogle chicks wearing tight superhero outfits.

Real Men Don’t Wear Small Update: Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals

Two more of the 30 Major League Baseball parks were visited in the most recent Real Men Don’t Wear Small update.  The Kansas City Royals’ Kauffman Stadium, and St. Louis Cardinals’ Busch Stadium III were tackled in consecutive days, and as a bonus, double-duty was pulled after the Cardinals game, and a trip out to Sauget, Illinois, to see the independent Gateway Grizzlies at GCS Ballpark was made.

With Kansas City and St. Louis off the board, my current count is at 20 MLB parks visited, meaning only ten more to go.

My poor, neglected brog.  Has it really been ten whole days since I updated you last?  Wow.  Ten days certainly feels like a lot of time, but I suppose really isn’t.  Either way, it isn’t due to just neglect, but the simple fact that I have indeed been busy.  That being said, part of recent activities has been the one of the many baseball trips I go on through the summer, as Huzzard and I invaded the state of Missouri, to hit up both the ballparks in Kansas City, and St. Louis, as well as an indy park in neighboring Illinois.

Along the way of baseball bliss are tons of barbecue and other food restaurants sampled and judged, scary, murder-ville, blood-stained sheets roach motel room, and some shitty midwest no-bust, 4.5 deck deep casinos that vacuum money.  And then we spend an extra day out in St. Louis to eat more food and do more touristy shit, but all-in-all, it was a pretty fantastic trip.

FAILville

Well, Jen and I don’t call this place F-ville without a reason.  The saddest thing is that the only place within reason where a person could’ve gotten sloshed and done this was at a nearby Ruby Tuesday’s.  Nothing screams place to binge drink to stupid drunk like Ruby Tuesday’s.
