No gratitude for my eyes

The person with the awesomest name in the world, Friendship Spacestation,, pointed us in the direction of the Gratitude Cafe. After reading their menu (a PDF of course) I'm getting hungry but even more confused not even by the bold Papyrus but the legend of a half-dozen symbols next to each item. Not too sure about raw lasagne. Raw salads, though? Yes. I've had those.

Something to do with Christmas Papyrus

A belated Christmas-related Papyrus (belated because I wasn't checking my email, Thanks Mike for the pic). I actually saw less than I expected this year. Could it be on a decline? I dunno...only 2012 will tell, so keep yours peeled. And keep spreading the word and join us on Facebook, follow on Twitter, and don't forget to bug your friends about it, they'll start spotting it too, it's funny. Happy new year, folks!

Papyrus Wackiness

Steve sends us this crazy Tampa Caribbean USA festival pic from a website that has more fonts than probably any other website I've seen.

The Original Founding Fathers

Well yours, not mine. I'm from Canada where they got confused about villages and countries and that's how we were named, but that matters not. I'm not quote sure who those dudes are, or if the guy in that pic is who sent this, if he now owns that shirt, or what. It's a post full of confusion.

Papyrus Papyrus

Yo dawg, I heard you like Papyrus... Wait, that doesn't really fit. I tried. Still, this is a a good one, every time I see the papyrus stores I lol a little bit to myself and wonder if anyone in that company knows about the Papyrus font and lols a bit to themselves too. Not likely, but one can imagine. Thanks Amanda for sending this in, you made my day.

Papyrus and tattoos? No thanks...

Sorry, it just concerns me. And it should you, too. We've seen Papyrus tattoo parlours that were pretty pissed that we posted about them, Papyrus tattoos and even more Papyrus tattoos even (though that's not this dude's biggest problem). And not this selection of brochures from Jennifer. Stay safe, people.

We need a font renaissance

Free tickets to the Renaissance Festival! What I don't get is why the Papyrus? The font on the ticket is much more appropriate. Although the publisher likely didn't have that font on file, but still. Papyrus and "$42 Value" don't sit well with me. Thanks to Kris for this one.
