ERl,,UM is your name BOB??

DO YOU KNOW IT IS A FEDERAL OFFENCE to read someone else's mail??

PRIMO arrest PEACE and bring Amy along in handcuffs but leave Amy in my room!

ERl,,UM is your name BOB??

Madman, no, my name is not BOB. BOB in all caps is the villain from Twin Peaks. I use his image for my avatar, most of the time. To distinguish he from me, my handle, all over the Internet, is always in lower case, and always has the four words of the handle connected, without spaces.

DO YOU KNOW IT IS A FEDERAL OFFENCE to read someone else's mail??

I don't know what a FEDERAL OFFENCE is.

Did you mean Federal Offense, or Fed Earl O'Fence? Federal Offense is a crime under the jurisdiction of a Country, as opposed to the jurisdiction of a province, state, region, Parrish, or similar regional subdivision within a country. Fed Earl O'Fence is an Irish performer, best known for his chorus work in the traveling cast of Riverdance.

Please stop shouting at me. If you're hitting the Caps Lock key instead of Shift by mistake, get some thin cardboard from a matchbook or an empty pack of cigarettes, fold it in half, and jam it under the caps lock key, so if you hit it, nothing will happen. If you're shouting to drown out internal voices, then please continue, with my sincere sympathy.

Looks like bob has solved the mystery of why MM types in CAPS so often.

I'm also beginning to suspect that bob has found his sense of humour. :YMAPPLAUSE:

Sarah, if people treated your C-36 tan sticky thread the same way they treat my serious threads, don't you think you would object, as well? I just don't ask for assistance from the mods. I'm not suggesting that you do that, but it would be an option available to you, which I wouldn't use myself.

When people treat me with disrespect, I give it back, but harder, to send a message. I get along fine with everyone who doesn't do that.

No bob, I would not object. I don't try to control what goes on in any of my threads, even ones that are as important to the industry as the C-36 thread.

Posting a thread is like throwing a pebble into a pond. Once you've thrown it, you don't try to get it back or control where the ripples may go ...

Let it go bob, let it go ...

I would argue the posting a thread is like farting in the water.

No, I won't let it go. About four people here think every thread is their personal playground. Only those four. If they want to play with me, they'll need to be less selfish, or I won't play with them. I'll just put in my ear buds, turn the volume up to tune them out, and play with other people here instead.

Bob, stick with MM, Betsie and myself and you will be fine.

Question, how does one have a white Christmas if the forecast is rain??

Cocaine.

:good: and a couple of strippers!

Thanks for answering my font identity question, bobistheowl!

Praise-Bowing

Here's a short clip that gives a good primer on the history of typography if anyone is interested.

 

[bobistheowl]

Thanks, Jasper. This is what the new font looks like, in the three styles:



Full size, if reduced:

There's a fourth style, that looks like the third, but it has exactly the same spacing between letter as the third one. It's meant to be typed on top of the second one, so different effects or colours could be appled to the different layers. I don't know if any apps can do that, but if they can, or could, at some future date, this one's already compliant.

Thiswill be out in limited release before the end of this year, more widely mid January. I'm using an unusual business model; the fonts will be free to download and use personally, but there will be a license for commercial use. The fee will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, depending on who wants to use it, and how they want to use it. It's very, very precise, so it looks really good at tiny sizes, but looks its best at huge sizes, several feet tall, even.

If I make some big sales, I'll spend most of it on tail. The work's all done on this project.

I don't know who this Betsie is. I didn't want to ask you, because I'd have to use a question mark to do that, and then I'd have to answer, and it would be funny, but I still wouldn't know who Betsie is.

From the mailbag:

"bito, do you have a video that could be used as a metaphorical analogy for your ongoing feud with the pork room crowd? I'm always looking for new old ideas, to appropriate for film projects. Thanks for the .mp3 attachments, btw. I'll put them to use" - Quentin, L.A.

Mr Brown, as a matter of fact, I do, and it's on YouTube already, so I didn't have to upload it myself. I think the guy who did the video editing used Windows Movie Maker, which explains why there's some extra bits at the beginning and end, but the full episode can be viewed on YouTube, for those who have attention spans of up to 26 minutes.

It's from season three, episode 3 of HBO's Mr. Show with Bob and David, entitled Oh, You Men, originally aired on October 3, 1997.

That's the 'legendary lost episode', which also contains the 'hanged man sketch', (the first few seconds are included at the end of the clip below), and the H.R. Pufnstuf parody, The Altered State of Druggachusettes, which is on YouTube as well, but it's hard to find, because the guy who uploaded it didn't spell Druggachusettes correctly.

That's one of the best episodes of Mr. Show, comparable to Rudy Will Await Your Foundation, (season 4, episode 3), which contains the classic "Audition" sketch. I'd consider posting more Mr Show clips, but probably on other boards; I'm not convinced the present company would get most of them.



I identify with the character of Professor Murder, who appears in the July 13, 1997 clip from Nightwatch, about halfway in, as seen in the still frame. Several characters in the sketch will remind you of other award winning HUBGFE members.

Betsie Bob is my prized sheep who's been my to go girl. Papa has secretly had the hots for her but she won't have anything to do with him because of the scent of pork.

Bob, I think on the night of Festivus I should bring one of my special apple pies.

Do you like apple pie? <--------

I'll share some but Festivus better be entertaining and please make sure you have cold black coffee on hand!

Please note no cap lock was used in this thread and no animals were harmed.

Only if there's tits.

Thanks for the 411 on Betsie, Madman. That sounds a lot like the Rome vignette from the 1991 Jim Jarmusch film Night on Earth, where Roberto Benigni was the cab driver, driving the Cardinal around, and telling him about Lola.

Yes , imagine apple pie with vanilla ice cream over a pair of great natural tits.

Crusty alert, crusty is stirring!

I preferred Robert Di niro in Taxi.

I'm not adverse to ice cream on tits, when I'm eating apple pie, if it's on the menu.
