If you're a professional or you're over that line between "I'm a hobbyist/doing this for myself/just having fun" to "This matters to my professional life/business/brand," I completely agree with you.

The fonts are all really nice, but it seems odd to me that they'd suggest replacing Cooper, an obviously 70's-inspired, bubbly and fat font with something more blocky and (yeah, I'll say it) boring. They have completely different feels, and I can't really think of any scenarios where the other font would do an…

And never, ever, ever, use Papyrus. In fact, if it is on your computer, toss it in the trash.

I will always remember the time, I showed almost a hundred fonts to a client, and then eventually as a joke I showed 'comic sans' and she said 'YES!'…

as a designer i've noticed a fast swing in font styles over the last decade. one of the fonts that is quickly becoming the new "comic sans" is the "lobster" font (http://www.dafont.com/lobster.font) that everyone is using for everything everywhere (including the banner above) for the last 4 years.

Rough paint, but it's 25 years old. The front bumper is white now, but I hate it.

While bizarre, I'm all for anything that increases empathy about this whole business (currently 6.5 months pregnant with my second). Shit, if men could really get pregnant, I guarantee there would be government-mandated pedicures and paid maternity leave. Now if only they could take on the back pain, exhaustion,…

Yup. Me too: "Nearly forty three years on it but like-new condition!"

Excellent point.

Whenever I go camping, I think about how awesome it would be to have a penis to pee in the woods instead of squatting.

I don't know, I would imagine that, if you desperately wanted to have a baby and couldn't, and saw people like the dumbasses on Teen Mom getting knocked up like it's their job (actually...it pretty much is) and not giving any fucks, it might feel a little like their squandering their opportunity to appreciate the…

Okay, but counterpoint: babies coming out of butts.

Have at it, boys. I have zero objections to sharing the burden of replicating the species. But fair is fair. You also have to copiously bleed from you penis every 28 days with the side effect of extremely painful cramps and you have to keep this secret because of social stigma. Have fun!

Too bad I couldn't offer my uterus up one of those fellows. It's no spring chicken (40 yrs old), but I'm guessing it's pretty pristine otherwise.

That, or all 23 prisoners attack the warden while he's monologing.

There is a third option, of course, which is to do nothing. To not attempt to solve the puzzle. To live out the rest of your miserable days in prison. But that's boooooooooring.

I'm surprised they didn't go for the obvious "Ph Double D" pun.

Come on, misogynist costume-makers. If you're going to be pigs, at least do it with style.

Back in high school, I shared a bedroom with my younger brother, which was difficult because he was a frequent sleepwalker. The hardwood floors would creak when he would get up and walk out of the room. I would have to follow him and bring him back to bed at least 2-3 times a week.

Awwww, At-At doggie. So cute!

I shared two of my stories yesterday, but recalled the one that scared me the most (and I subsequently try to repress). It's quite short:

I was laying in bed asleep (and I guess dreaming?) when I heard our then-12 year old son crying. Our apartment had a "roommate" layout where the bedrooms are at opposite ends, so I…
