Comic Sans Imagined Monologue

2010-06-16T21:57:00.002-04:00

This is one of the "Imagined Monologue" series from McSweeney's, written by Mike Lacher. See the original here: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/monologues/15comicsans.html

I'm Comic Sans, Asshole.
By MIKE LACHER

----

Listen up. I know the shit you've been saying behind my back. You think I'm stupid. You think I'm immature. You think I'm a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I'm Comic Sans, and I'm the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg.
You don't like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing her yogurt from the break room fridge? You don't like that I'm all over your sister-in-law's blog? You don't like that I'm on the sign for that new Thai place? You think I'm pedestrian and tacky? Guess the fuck what, Picasso. We don't all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros. Sorry the entire world can't all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people like to have fun. Sorry I'm standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fuck up for once.
People love me. Why? Because I'm fun. I'm the life of the party. I bring levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message about restroom etiquette? SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need to convey your fun-loving, approachable nature on your business' website? SMACK. Like daffodils in motherfucking spring.
When people need to kick back, have fun, and party, I will be there, unlike your pathetic fonts. While Gotham is at the science fair, I'm banging the prom queen behind the woodshop. While Avenir is practicing the clarinet, I'm shredding Reign In Blood on my double-necked Stratocaster. While Univers is refilling his allergy prescriptions, I'm racing my tricked-out, nitrous-laden Honda Civic against Tokyo gangsters who'll kill me if I don't cross the finish line first. I am a sans serif Superman and my only kryptonite is pretentious buzzkills like you.
It doesn't even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I'm famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft fucking Bob. I'm in your signs. I'm in your browsers. I'm in your instant messengers. I'm not just a font. I am a force of motherfucking nature and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif badassery.
Enough of this bullshit. I'm gonna go get hammered with Papyrus.

2010-05-30T16:39:00.000-04:00

The cats are killing up a storm now. This morning there was a dead mouse in our kitchen (brought IN from outside...lousy felines..). Anyway, I was thinking about hunting cats and thought I'd post this pic of Dot Com and a bird. Such an epic hunting shot.

Cat Illustration

2010-05-30T16:11:00.000-04:00

I love the simplicity of this - how you can communicate ideas and images with so few lines.. just a couple of strokes and we can see a cat; not only a cat, but a cat with personality and context. Just beautiful.

I went to high school with the guy playing Waldo! He used to MC every assembly and do a bit of standup at the same time. He's been in a troupe called The Imponderables pretty much ever since, and if they're ever in your area, I recommend going to the show.

Mathsputin

2010-03-26T08:03:00.000-04:00

This is an interesting story at the Huffington Post:

"Dr Grigori Perelman, a reclusive Russian genius, is refusing to accept the prestigious $1 million "Millennium" mathematics prize awarded by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, MA.

Perelman was awarded the prize for solving the one-hundred-year-old Poincaré conjecture, one of the most complicated mathematical problems in the world - so complex, in fact, that after Perelman posted his proofs in 2002 it took several years for other experts to confirm he was correct."

Apparently this is the second time he's refused such a prize.

"After performing some teaching in American universities in 2003, Perelman has apparently given up on mathematics, dismayed at the intellectual and moral failings of his peers. Instead, according to reports, he likes to play table tennis against a wall in his apartment. "You are disturbing me. I am picking mushrooms," he told a journalist who managed to get in touch with him."

Human Regeneration

2010-03-16T22:23:00.000-04:00

I just read a cool article by Clay Dillow at PopSci. He's talking about how the ability to regenerate tissue and heal without scarring is already something humans are capable of but it is being blocked by a single gene. The gene protects against rapid cell division - i.e. cancer. Lab mice without the gene have apparently been seen to regenerate parts of their bodies that were surgically removed, with no evidence remaining.

Anyway, read it. It's cool.
