I like ampersands in certain kinds of titles
This. Procter & Gamble notwithstanding (the ampersand IS part of their name), sometimes the word "and" is not what you want. And an unwieldy ampersand is so depressing.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the Font Book software that comes with OS X not considered a basic font manager?
It's definitely a step up from what Windows offers. I'm not as up to speed over on that side of the world.
This has made me grab demo font managers and install them on my work PC so I can peer at my folders of fonts I've carried with me for years. For some strange reason I've kept them on a CD reasonably nearby (and nowadays thumb drive) just in case of a font emergency--I have 1400 and growing fonts to choose from. I'll be there for you.

Fonts of wisdom. Way to keep the press out here, guys. (I mean that in a good way)

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I think I may just have been converted to fontlust by Chocolate Box, although I agree that the question mark is just wonky. Up til now, I've just wanted something that wasn't Times New Roman, and haven't cared strongly about that. Now, I think I may download a font for my very first time.
And I'm not just saying this to keep out the press, although, if that's a side effect, it's a nice one.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I believe Tim is punning. He is the type.

Yet again, d'oh. I should never type when sleepy. I imagine I must have had reverse delusions of grandeur, with press all hunting us down to get access to trailer links and unrelated quotes from Tim, that they probably couldn't use anyway. And yet, I still laughed out loud.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ha! okay. I already admitted I was slow... :-)

Yes, and if you were delivering something you'd be a Courier.
