Fat is the Comic Sans of Bodies.
Reblogged from Laments and Lullabies: Poor, maligned Comic Sans. The font we all love to hate. We make fun of it and all who might naively choose it for their presentations, emails, or websites. In short, Comic Sans is for losers. But wait… A few people I like and respect use it. The God Particle … Continue reading

*******THIS CHALLENGE IS CLOSED, AND OUT TO LUNCH******* You will find the winners of the Blogroll Contest here. Hello everyone! Today’s challenge is simple.

The Abbreviated Blogroll
There will be a big announcement tomorrow on A Clown on Fire, something in the vicinity of the size of my one-ab. This announcement required a few changes to my blog, notably on my blogroll. It was radically reduced. When I first created a blogroll, I added my friends’ blogs, even if these were not updated regularly … Continue reading
Jealousy and a Father's Love
Reblogged from Black Box Warnings: I run. Ok, honestly, I think about running while walking around my neighborhood in San Francisco. This is a green city as you might know. We compost everything here. But when I’m walking/thinking about running, I’m green—not in the way you think, not in the same way as my fascist … Continue reading
