I only count 3 about cheese, sadly. But we do seem to have several thousand on wildebeest.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Given what I do for a living, I'm ashamed of my score on the font game (25/34; but I SWEAR it looked like Bodoni!).

Yeah, I console myself that just as I was learning typesetting desktop publishing was taking off and eliminated a lot of the need to be super-familiar with every typeface. I bet Ginger could kick all our asses at font recognition.

Dear lord that kitty is freakishly cute. It also looks inconsolably sad.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Teppy's score is also mine. There was an era in which I could identify almost every existing font, but that era is long gone. I got types like Bodoni and Century. Now there are hundreds of types and thousands of type names, due to the dreadful legal ruling that you can register a type name, but not the type itself. I tend to fall back on what I know, plus novelty types.
