That link reminded me. Does anyone remember this show [link] ? I was watching Related on You Tube, and it reminded me to look into other canceled shows I liked, but that never seemed to have made it to DVD.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to see Roy Zimmerman in concert last night. Ah, snarky liberal singer-songwriters...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
There was also a book called Black Swan recently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have no idea which is the best thread to ask in, but does anyone know of a good font to match The Men In Black? So far, the closest I've found in what I have is Compacta.

Because books.
I think Franklin Gothic Heavy would work.

They don't have MIB at this site, but what about the one they suggest for Rocky Balboa:
I may have taken a post-work nap, even though I had the day off.

Heh. That's exactly what Amy suggested. I will go with it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have something very insensitive to say.
I spent the better part of my afternoon printing out phone books and badge lists. This information is all available on our intranet. But this one looks "pretty" because I squish everything down to an 8 point font and print it on one page.
It is a complete waste of my time. The phonebooks can be imported into Excel in any way you want. There are only two humans in the section of 124 people who want this done, and one is my boss. I had to toss out the old yellow pages in secret because, "NOT EVERYTHING IS ON THE INTERNET."
Yes. Yes it is, love. It's all on the internet.
I actually adore the two people who insist that I update this beast of a sheet. So I do it and try to not make fun of them.
They are older luddites. And I am always irritated by old luddites. I do not find it charming.
"Well, what if we need to call someone and the power is out?"
Our phones are VOIP. If the power is out, you can't call them on their office phones, anyway. Which is all this list is. If you would like a list of emergency cell numbers, I have them at my desk, they fit in your badge holder.

On the voter registration thing -- in Pennsylvania, to register to vote, you have to fill out a form with your name and address and date of birth, and check a box that says "I am a US Citizen." There's a thing that lists all the penalties for lying on the application, but it doesn't ask for any proof of anything. It asks for drivers license number or last four digits of social security number, or there's a box to check if you don't have either of those. You can get the form online, or at any public library or post office or pretty much any other government agency. You sign it next to a statement that says "I hereby affirm that the information that I have provided in this declaration is true," and so on. Then you mail it in, and within two weeks, they send you a voter registration card. I have no idea if they actually check anything -- it seems like it would be a pain to check stuff unless something seemed obviously off.
(I've never had a voter registration card before. In NJ, you didn't need a card -- you just went to the polling place and signed your name in the book, and the little old lady supervising the polling place would check to make sure your signature looked like your previous signatures, and then you could vote.)
