We have a paralegal with a silly font, but nobody dislikes her for it because girls can get away with that shit.

We get a lot of firm wide ticket selling emails. one of the attys uses this odd, bold, 18 point font that makes me question her judgement. it is on her sig line

Also, sig lines with script, or messed up fonts or emoticons or anything like that make me cringe. from anyone.

When I asked what TM was defending, you answered by asking whether I thought black leaders made anti-semitic comments - you were implying that TM was defending the anti-semitic comments.

From where I sit, this is all about you casting aspersions at TM. Why, Spanky, Why?

See, this is where the whole problem lies. You misquoted him. He didn't ask you whether you thought Black leaders made anti-semitic remarks. He asked whether you thought African-American leaders felt they were entitled to make anti-semitic remarks.

You see the difference? In the first instance, Spanky would have been asking a verifiable, fact-based question. Spanky seldom dodes that. He generallly, as he did in the second example, asks a question that calls for speculation, by inviting the desired answer.

If only you gave Spanky the answer he asked for, this could have stopped. Now you've gone and kicked off another day of page-long posts and string quotes. Bastard.

I'm pretty sure I dislike one of our paralegals solely based on the font he has chosen for emails.

Dear god. I get e-mails blessing me at the end. I get e-mails with stupid background patterns that fuck up my signature block and font color when I try to reply to them. I get e-mails with someone's kid's growth chart shown in cute little HTML at the bottom.

I submit that the appearance of an e-mail from a work account reflects more on the professionalism of the sender than whether or not she wears open toed shoes to work.

As does the choice of a signoff. Honestly, people, "Cheers"? Why not just use "Namaste"?

I used to think nothing of this phenomenon until Spanky opened my eyes as to why it is just so wrong. Only a fool* can't see that our ultimate goal must be a pure meritocracy of fonts, unencumbered by historical baggage. This is an issue that has been with us since the first cavewoman used a heart to dot her "i" in Lascaux, and ignoring that fact makes you a simpleton, or worse.

* I do pity them.

Note to RP: let the record state I feel that Lester and Spanky's 40something stripper chasing and inability to commit on whatever level is lame [only inasmuch as they try to tout it as cool, dudes, it is so over.]

Do you really? And just what about your personal life puts you in a position to make this judgment call?

No one quote Spanky anymore.

Dear god is right.

Yeah, but Lester thinks "contumacious" means "unable to achieve an erection."

I apologized already. I assure you, your next visit to the Princess Bed will be more productive.

I smile and try to act cute before female judges when I haven't complied with her last order.

It never works.

Except for the Eye-talians. They killed Jesus, you know. And he was a friend of ours. But he had big eyes.

They have the big cans of Fosters' in the bar cars situated at the top of the tracks at Grand Central.

I have also seen cans of Fosters in supermarkets. And they have it on tap in certain bars I've been to.
