I would have studied spelling much harder if my teacher had used that font.

"What's your favorite letter, class?"
"My daddy says that he likes Z..."
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 02:39 PM
Picture sorely needed with that article.
Posted by: cloturemonkey | September 20, 2006 at 02:39 PM
Where does one get this font? I could reap a ton of havoc in my office with that. We need more information!!

Now everyone count to 69.
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | September 20, 2006 at 02:43 PM
Here's the version of the article I submitted... does include a pic of the font; not really all that work-unsafe, unless someone's looking really closely.

I'm joining the newsletter committee!
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | September 20, 2006 at 02:46 PM
I am sure we have that font...I think its called playmate....
Posted by: Chaz | September 20, 2006 at 02:49 PM
"Administrators said the teacher did not use the font intentionally."
*snork*
let's see, should it be...
drowned kitties, maimed squirrels, ah!
people doin' it!
i'm sorry, really
i used the "doin' it" font
i didn't mean to
thought they were praying
see, they're on their knees here, there
oh, yeah... never mind
Posted by: mudstuffin | September 20, 2006 at 02:49 PM
I can buy the accidental selection the font. However I don't understand how you could print, collate and staple something with that font, AND NOT NOTICE!!! Sorry no dice.
Posted by: almne | September 20, 2006 at 02:51 PM
Think Kama Sutra meets Sesame Street...
holy crap...I need to TRY some of those letters
Posted by: Chaz | September 20, 2006 at 02:51 PM
Now I know my ABC's....lol
Posted by: Cap'n Izzy Jailbait (DavetheRed) | September 20, 2006 at 02:52 PM
alme - my thoughts exactly! And if the teacher made this at work, someone really needs to audit that school system's software!
Posted by: 24 | September 20, 2006 at 02:52 PM
i love that at the bottom of your article, ch, it says "DID THIS ARTICLE SATISFY YOUR EXPECTATIONS?" they're so sweet to be concerned.
Posted by: judi | September 20, 2006 at 02:53 PM
I'd like to buy an "O", Pat.
Posted by: ubetcha | September 20, 2006 at 02:59 PM
Some of those
positionsletters are pretty easy to figure out. Some of them (I'm thinking L and M here) are a bit more confusing.Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 02:59 PM
And hey, just because I'm into providing a full-service, uh, service, here is the font in question.
Have fun with your next memo!
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:01 PM
anyone care to practice their a,b,c's with me?
Posted by: crossgirl | September 20, 2006 at 03:01 PM
CH - my hero!
Posted by: ubetcha | September 20, 2006 at 03:03 PM
so, the font is called "group sex" and the teacher still used it? Accident, my a$$
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:03 PM
It wasn't easy, but after a dedicated search, I dug it up for y'all.
Interstingly, I came across a font named Bauer, but it didn't feature anyone getting shot in the thigh or having their heads cut off.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:04 PM
Crossgirl - those need 3 people (NTTAWWT).
I'm up (HAA) for O, Q and S if you are.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:05 PM
DP Chris - not E?
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:06 PM
Not O
I meant P
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:06 PM
I don't seen any point in holding my arms up for E.
Also, my wife and I have tried K'ing, but that didn't work out so well for us. Is that TMI?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:09 PM
Only if she's on the blog. How can K not work out for you?
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:10 PM
Wow, This thread just took a downward spiral. I love it.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | September 20, 2006 at 03:12 PM
wench, I'm sorry, but your use of the term DP Chris has me HOWLING with laughter at my desk, no matter how unintentional that was. I'm sorry I'm so gutterbound. As you were.
Posted by: KOW | September 20, 2006 at 03:13 PM
You see, the size of...
And the angle...
...don't line up...
Are you sure you want to know?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:13 PM
I sort of feel for the teacher. She probably thought she had found some cute thing that represented little kids making letters. Now this poor woman is known as a very kinky girl, the kind you don't take home to momma....
btw, half of that "alphabet" looks painful. Just sayin'.
Posted by: OkieDokie | September 20, 2006 at 03:14 PM
Does anyone know how to draw a pregnant stick figure "S"?
Posted by: spike | September 20, 2006 at 03:14 PM
wench, you don't even want to know what I thought you were saying when you abbreviated the Dread Pirate Chris' 'nym.
I guess "M" comes the closest.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:14 PM
We'd need a friend (again NTTAWWT) for D, and P worked where K didn't.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:15 PM
Well, I really want to know now...I've never heard of such a thing
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:15 PM
High five to KOW.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:16 PM
M
cumscomes closest to what? I still don't get that one.Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:16 PM
Uh, okay, I suppose that this thread is already off-limits to Mary's kids. "Double Penetration" is the ordinary meaning of that abbreviation in a conversation of this context.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:18 PM
oh lordy, all yall's abreviations are getting me excited
Posted by: crossgirl | September 20, 2006 at 03:19 PM
And if y'all need me to draw a diagram, well... I don't see it in this font, but I haven't looked all that closely.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:19 PM
OH!!! That is so not what I meant, Pirate Chris!!!
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:21 PM
Depending on DP'd where, H is your best bet.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:21 PM
CH, I could have gone the rest of my life and been just fine without knowing that term. I'm not even sure what it MEANS, and i'm a little freaked out.
Posted by: OkieDokie | September 20, 2006 at 03:21 PM
*snork* at Judi!
Posted by: Beppie | September 20, 2006 at 03:22 PM
*SNORK*
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:23 PM
I'm starting to go Upper Case here; need to cool off a bit.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | September 20, 2006 at 03:23 PM
Pirate Chris - back to the K thing - are you too tall? She's too short? I just don't see how that can't work for you. Everything can be adjusted for the best "fit" IYKWIM
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:23 PM
I s'pose if you took the "I" and flipped it around, then put it next to the "K," you'd be pretty close.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:25 PM
Class, today's lesson is being brought to you by the letters "F" and "U".
Posted by: PirateBoy | September 20, 2006 at 03:25 PM
No, wait, genders are mixed up... NTTAWWT, but it's not the configuration I was thinking of.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:26 PM
and also the letters "S" and "M"
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:27 PM
F looks like it's Long John Silver. Intimidating.
And U looks like someone's got broken legs. Ouch.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:28 PM
We'd need to adjust one or both of our heights and the "angle of attack" of my "cutlass".
Can anyone find a picture (or even a name) of this teacher? Would anyone want to R with this person?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:29 PM
I don't understand the point of U if there is no F underneath.
And Pirate Chris, I don't know what to say. I have visions of a Captain Hook appearance floating in my nasty mind
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:32 PM
Chris, there are a myriad of solutions to this problem -- the simplest of which is to not attempt everything in a standing position.
These "letters" work just as well on a page on your desk, or, as the case may be, sprawled across an large, flat surface.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:33 PM
Did anyone click on the naked cowboy pics?
I would think it would good balance to 'K'.
Posted by: billinbossier | September 20, 2006 at 03:36 PM
As I said, P or R work just fine. K doesn't. Either up (haa) or down.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 03:37 PM
Sorry, Pirate Chris - wasn't personal...
What naked cowboy pics?
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:41 PM
A ain't naked, and I'm pretty darned sure he ain't a cowboy.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 03:44 PM
At first glance, I too thought what's the problem? Cute little people letters! Then, I enlarged the picture- Hey! Those stick figures have ramparts! and...other things...and things touching things, and...
Posted by: chesbn | September 20, 2006 at 03:45 PM
He would look much better in a pair of jeans, no shirt...IMO
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 03:46 PM
oh SNORKS all around!!
Posted by: Betsi | September 20, 2006 at 04:00 PM
aaaaaaaaaaaaaccck!!!!!!!!!!
/runs back to rated G world, where she belongs
(and no quips about the letter G!!!!! you KNOW what I mean!!!!!!!)
Posted by: OkieDokie | September 20, 2006 at 04:01 PM
I don't think there's any such thing as a "rated G" world -- most of us got here through a decidedly X-rated process. NC-17, at least. :-P
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 04:04 PM
I'd like to buy an "O", Pat.
================
lol, ubetcha. But be careful. you can get arrested for that.
Posted by: Stevie W | September 20, 2006 at 04:04 PM
My father ate my homework.
Posted by: Stevie W | September 20, 2006 at 04:04 PM
OK, so I printed the font from the article and blew, er, enlarged, er, copied it bigger so I could go back through this thread and find some new positions. This may take some time. *checking medicine cabinet for Ben Gay*
(Sorry - don't know how to do that word cross-out thingy.)
Posted by: ubetcha | September 20, 2006 at 04:11 PM
ubetcha - we will expect a progress report
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:14 PM
Anatomically correct little stick people. What will they come up with next? I'm sure Dave and the bloglits will let us know soon....
Posted by: Kathybear | September 20, 2006 at 04:16 PM
I don't think any of those involve Ben Gay. Ben Dover maybe...
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:17 PM
I have seen the same with more pulchritudinous figures. Good thing, now that all those skinny fashion models have been banned from the runway. Stick figures - feh!
Posted by: Stevie W | September 20, 2006 at 04:19 PM
What's up, er, going on with K? It's quite similar to X, except he's a little more comfortable in X, and of course, not coming out of the top of her head (no pun intended).
Posted by: ubetcha | September 20, 2006 at 04:20 PM
More comfortable in X??!!? I've seen people bend like that after motorcycle accidents
Wait a second...
Who's legs are where in X? Are the people actually crossing each other? It looks like it could also be arranged > <, which would not be comfortable.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:25 PM
K and X are both just fine and dandy IMO
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:25 PM
Woo Hoo!!!
Simul in the X!!
Did that hurt me??
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:26 PM
Pirate C - I think in X, he's just getting a little more leverage
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:26 PM
And another in the X!!
Was it good for you?
I can do extra leverage.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:27 PM
Pirate - (notice how your name gets shorter and shorter) - I'm capapble of handling X so I think you're okay
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:28 PM
I think in order to 'Z', both parties would need something to hold on to, besides each other. You know, something for support.
Posted by: billinbossier | September 20, 2006 at 04:28 PM
Did anyone notice - the bottom of "D" is gettin' NOTHING?
Posted by: Esther | September 20, 2006 at 04:29 PM
wow - Pirate - you are quite resiliant!
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:29 PM
Twice in X, with Wench, with leverage, and I'm OK.
Life is good.
Would you like to try Q next time?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:30 PM
My inkjet cartridge shoots blanks.
Posted by: Stevie W | September 20, 2006 at 04:30 PM
Q looks like it could really hurt you if I take a wrong step - do you trust me?
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:31 PM
Of course Wench.
You can step where ever you'd like. As we've already seen, I can take it.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:32 PM
Esther - I can't tell what's what in D - they look like they're also trying to figure it all out.
Posted by: 24 | September 20, 2006 at 04:33 PM
Z appears to have three (ahem) heads.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:33 PM
And now with 24!!
Could my day get any better??!!??
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:35 PM
Pirate - you must have cannon balls for danglies
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:35 PM
And another with Wench!!
Apparently I do have quite the cannon.
Is it as good for all of you as it is for me?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:36 PM
Pirate - are you still breathing? You've been working awfully hard today
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:36 PM
DPC, I'm pretty sure that Z is another one of those that requires a close friend to complete the trio. Or, should I say, the trois.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 04:37 PM
I'm starting to feel defiled by this thread! I shall avert my eyes whilst I read...
Posted by: Beppie | September 20, 2006 at 04:37 PM
In the movie, The Birdcage, Robin Williams and Nathan Lane had soup bowls with that design.
Yes. They. Did.
Posted by: Eleanor | September 20, 2006 at 04:38 PM
Dear gawd!!! That's the....
OK. I've lost count. Doesn't that mean it's time to stop?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:38 PM
I'm really worried about you now, Pirate! Your cannon's going to get rusty
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:38 PM
it would appear we can't
Posted by: wench | September 20, 2006 at 04:39 PM
I font you, I ink you, I smudge you
With all my cartridge.
Elvis has left the building.
Posted by: Stevie W | September 20, 2006 at 04:40 PM
DPC, you're getting an awful lot of Zs, there...
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 04:41 PM
All right ladies. Eleanor, this time.
Can someone do mouth-to-{edited} for me? I might need some resussitation.
Then again Wench (re Q), usually, when you "step on it" it goes faster. TMI?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 20, 2006 at 04:41 PM
Which letter, El? ALL OF THEM??? Good heavens.
But wouldn't they have skipped the bazoomaged figures?
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 20, 2006 at 04:42 PM
