The FontBook – The Big Yellow Book by FontShop Giveaway

fontbook

The Big Yellow Book Giveaway

As the ‘Typographic Desk Reference’ giveaway was so damn popular, I thought what else might cause such eager interest. So this giveaway pulls no punches, ‘FontBook’, or affectionately known in privileged circles as the ‘The Big Yellow Book’  by Fontshop, could be sitting on your desk in several weeks time.

I can’t offer any practical thoughts on this book, or even a review, as I don’t have a copy of my own to ‘review’ or boast about. So I am taking it as given this is a book most typenerds would want.

Sample of a FontBook Specimen

I want one, give me!

Of course you do, I bloody want one as well dammit.

Moving on. So, to have any chance of winning this prestigious tome, you must do the following. Mostly consists of pandering to my desire to be the center of everyone’s universe. I realise a lot of people are still not into FriendFeed, so this is my way of subtly suggesting you ‘ought’ to give FriendFeed a shot.

  1. Sign up to my FriendFeed, Twitter and RSS Feed. (I will check to see if the winner has followed those 3 simple steps. If not, then FAIL.)
  2. If you are into FaceBook, then feel free to sign up here as well. That’s optional.
  3. Leave a comment below, with Twitter ID. No Twitter ID, no win. Graciass.
  4. In the comment, please confirm you have followed the points in #1 to the letter. If you are already following etc, then just say so. No need to unfollow then refollow.
  5. Finally, leave me a joke in the comment. I know, it sounds odd, but just humour me (pun clearly intended). The quality of the joke has NO bearing on the winner as this is randomly picked. It just gives me something to smile over when I’m reading them. :)

Then a week from now, I will pick a name from random and announce the winner.

Small Print

This book will likely be sent direct from FontShop.

To whom it may concern

This and prior giveaways are self-funded, opposed to being sponsored, so the quantity of prizes are usually limited to one-offs. or at least, very limited. If any company reading this would like to offer up some similar prizes for advertising and marketing purposes, then please get in contact.

Till this time, I will continue to offer the type of prizes that I wold like to win, so hopefully something of nerdy and geeky value and interest.



And breathe...

    got 2 jokes for ya :D

    A man bumps into a woman in a hotel lobby and as he does,

    his elbow goes into her breast.

    They are both quite startled.



    The man turns to her and says, 'Ma'am, if your heart is as soft as your breast,

    I know you'll forgive me.'

    She replies, 'If your penis is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 221..'

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A couple had been married for 50 years.

    They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the wife says, 'Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together.'

    'I know,' the old man said. 'We were probably sitting here naked as a jaybird fifty years ago.'

    'Well,' Granny snickered. 'Let's relive some old times.'

    Where upon, the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table.

    'You know, honey,' the little old lady breathlessly replied, 'My nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago.'

    'I wouldn't be surprised,' replied Gramps. 'One's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal

    As for my joke:
    Sherlock Holmes and Watson went on a camping trip. After setting up the tent and having a good meal, they lay down for the night. A few hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you deduce."

    Watson pondered for a moment and replied, "I see millions and millions of stars...Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."

    Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent."

  • @sigurarm

    Already following on twitter.

    I never win anything probably because I almost never try. But since the jokes here are great I filled in everything required and repay with one joke. So here it goes (may include vulgar language – you have been warned) :

    THE COMPLETE SHIT LITERATURE

    THE GHOST SHIT The kind where you feel shit come out, see shit on the toilet paper, but there's no shit in the bowl.

    THE CLEAN SHIT The kind where you feel shit come out, see shit in the bowl, but there's no shit on the toilet paper.

    THE WET SHIT You wipe your ass fifty times and it still feels unwiped. So you end up putting toilet paper between your ass and your underwear so you don't ruin them with those dreadful skid marks.

    THE SECOND WAVE SHIT This shit happenes when you've finished, your pants are up to your knees, and you suddenly realize you have to shit some more.

    THE BRAIN HEMORRAHAGE THROUGH YOUR NOSE SHIT Also known as "Pop a Vein in your Forehead Shit". You have to strain so much to get it out that you turn purple and > practically have a stroke.

    THE CORN SHIT No explanation necessary.

    THE LINCOLN LOG SHIT The kind of shit that's so enormous you're afraid to flush it down without first breaking it up into little pieces with the toilet brush.

    THE NORORIUS DRINKER SHIT The kind of shit you have the morning after a long night of drinking.

    It's most noticeable trait is the tread mark left on the bottom of the > toilet bowl after you flush.

    THE "GEE, I REALLY WISH I COULD SHIT" SHIT- The kind where you want to shit, but even after straining your guts out, all you can do is sit on the toilet, cramped and farting.

    THE WET CHEEKS SHIT Also known as the "Power Dump". That's the kind that comes out of your ass so fast that your butt cheeks get splashed with the toilet water.

    THE LIQUID SHIT That's the kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out of your butt,

    splashes all over the side of the toilet bowl and, at the same time, > chronically burns your tender poop-chute.

    THE MEXICAN FOOD SHIT A class all its own.

    THE CROWD PLEASER This shit is so intriguing in size and/or appearance that you have to

    show it to someone before flushing.

    THE MOOD ENHANCER This shit occurs after a lengthy period of constipation, thereby > allowing you to be your old self again.

    THE RITUAL This shit occurs at the same time each day and is accomplished with > the aid of a newspaper.

    THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS SHIT A shit so noteworthy it should be recorded for future generations. >

    THE AFTERSHOCK SHIT This shit has an odour so powerful than anyone entering the vicinity > within the next 7 hours is affected.

    THE "HONEYMOON'S OVER" SHIT This is any shit created in the presence of another person. > >

    THE GROANER A shit so huge it cannot exit without vocal assistance. > >

    THE FLOATER Characterized by its floatability, this shit has been known to > resurface after many flushings.

    THE RANGER A shit which refuses to let go. It is usually necessary to engage in

    a rocking or bouncing motion, but quite often the only solution is to > push it away with a small piece of toilet paper.

    THE PHANTOM SHIT This appears in the toilet mysteriously and no one will admit to > putting it there.

    THE PEEK-A-BOO SHIT Now you see it, now you don't. This shit is playing games with you. > Requires patience and muscle control.

    THE BOMBSHELL A shit that comes as a complete surprise at a time that is either inappropriate to shit (ie. during lovemaking or a root canal) or you > are nowhere near shitting facilities.

    THE SNAKE CHARMER A long skinny shit which has managed to coil itself into a frightening position - usually harmless.

    THE OLYMPIC SHIT This shit occurs exactly one hour prior to the start of any competitive event in which you are entered and bears a close resemblance to the Drinker's Shit.

    THE BACK-TO-NATURE SHIT This shit may be of any variety but is always deposited either in the

    woods or while hiding behind the passenger side of your car.

    THE PEBBLES-FROM-HEAVEN SHIT An adorable collection of small turds in a cluster, often a gift from

    God when you actually CAN'T shit.

    PREMEDITATED SHIT Laxative induced. Doesn't count.

    SHITZOPHERENIA Fear of shitting - can be fatal!

    ENERGIZER vs DURACELL SHIT Also known as a "Still Going" shit.

    THE POWER DUMP SHIT The kind that comes out so fast, you barely get your pants down when > you're done.

    THE LIQUID PLUMBER SHIT This kind of shit is so big it plugs up the toilet and it overflows all over the floor. (You should have followed the advice from the Lincoln Log Shit.)

    THE SPINAL TAP SHIT The kind of shit that hurts so much coming out, you'd swear it's got to be coming out sideways.

    THE "I THINK I'M GIVING BIRTH THROUGH MY ASSHOLE" SHIT Similar to the Lincoln Log and The Spinal Tap Shits. The shape and size of the turd resembles a tall boy beer can. Vacuous air space remains in the rectum for some time afterwards.

    THE PORRIDGE SHIT The type that comes out like toothpaste, and just keeps on coming. You have two chooces: (a) flush and keep gong, or (b) risk it piling up to your butt while you sit there helpless. >

    THE "I'M GOING TO CHEW MY FOOD BETTER" SHIT When the bag of Dorritos you ate last night lacerates the insides of your rectum on the way out in the morning.

    THE "I THINK I'M TURNING INTO A BUNNY" SHIT When you drop lots of cute, little round ones that look like marbles and make tiny splashing sounds when they hit the water.

    THE "WHAT THE HELL DIED IN HERE?" SHIT Also sometimes referred to as The Toxic Dump. Of course you don't warn anyone of the poisonous bathroom odour. Instead, you stand innocently near the door and enjoy the show as they run out gaggin and gasping for air.

    THE "I JUST KNOW THERE'S A TURN STILL DANGLING THERE" SHIT Where you just sit there patiently and wait for the last cling-on to drop off because if you wipe now, it's going to smear all over the place.

    The guy asks the pirate. "do you mind if i ask how you got the peg leg"? The pirate says no i don't mind, a shark bit it off when my ship went down."

    The guy then asks "how did you get the hook for a hand?" The pirate says "oh it got cut off in a battle"

    then the guy says "okay last question and then i'll leave you alone. How did you get the hook." The pirate says "It was the first day i had the hook and a seagull crapped in my eye."



    so that's my joke.

    A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew.
    She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
    As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was?
    The girl replied, "I'm drawing God! ."
    The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
    Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

    am following twitter, friendfeed and RSS Feed. Now gimme!!!!

    Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!". The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.

    Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!". The battle was on, and once again the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties occurred.

    Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?". The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid". The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man.

    As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to their Captain for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!!

    ok, I can't believe someone used the fish joke i was going to use, but here we go.

    a guy going through a bitter and drawn out divorce is walking along a beach and comes across a magic lamp. he rubs it three times and a genie appears.

    the genie says he will grant the man any 3 wishes that he desires, but there is a catch. whatever the man wishes for, his wife will get double.

    the man ponders his wishes for a few minutes and then says ok, my first wish is to have $100 million. the genie grants his wish but then says his soon to be ex-wife has been granted $200 million.

    The man says ok, my second wish is to live on a private island in the caribbean. the genie grants his wish and the man is now standing on perfect white sand on the island of his dreams. the genie reminds the man, that his wife has also been granted 2 private islands in the caribbean.

    after pondering his third and final wish for quite some time the man finally comes to a decision...


    I would like you to beat me half to death.

    A muffin tin is in the oven . . . baking. As muffins are wont to do when in ovens. One partially baked muffin turns to the muffin beside him (sort of just rotates within the tin, from what I gather) and says, "Damn. It's hot in here." The second muffin says, "Holy shit! A talking muffin!"

    I have followed the points in #1 to the letter like you said.

    So I have some Chuck Norris Facts instead of a joke.

    - Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
    - Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
    - There is no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard. There is only another fist.
    - There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.
    - Chuck Norris can eat just one Lay's potato chip.
    - When Chuck Norris looks in the mirror nothing appears. There can never be a second Chuck Norris.
    - When there's a fire, you stop, drop, and roll. When there's a Chuck Norris, you stop, drop, and die.
    - Chuck Norris can clap with one hand.
    - Chuck Norris had his tonsels removed with a chainsaw.

    A man was forbidden by his wife to ever eat beans, his favorite food, ever again because the flatulence he would produce after doing so.

    One day, the man was riding home from work and had a tremendous craving for his favorite food - beans. Although he knew his wife had forbidden him to eat beans, he thought he could destroy the evidence before he got home. So, he stops at his favorite restaurant to eat five large helpings of beans at his favorite restaurant.

    On the drive home, he ripped as many as he could do destroy the evidence, but could not work up enough. He arrived home and his wife immediately met him at the door. His stomach could barely handle the pressure. His wife acted giddiy as though she had a surprise, and blind folded him to escort him to his chair. The phone rang in the other room and she went to go get it after seating him. He could not bare it and ripped the loudest, most foul sounding bean, produced farts he ever had.

    The smell cleared the air and his wife returned. She took off the blindfold to surprise him with all of his friends sitting around the table.

    Wow, that looks awesome. I just found your site today, but I'm now following you on RSS via Google, and on Friendfeed!

    My twitter ID is: QuixyStix.

    So, a guy has been out of work for quite some time when he's reading through the classifieds, and sees a position at the zoo is open.

    It doesn't list the position, but he goes in to apply anyway, and gets an interview. During his interview, they mention the pay and the benefits, but never the actual job. So he asks the interviewer what job he would doing if he got the position.

    The interviewer proceeds to tell him about the fact that the zoo's main attraction, a large gorilla had recently died. They didn't have the funds to import a new animal, so until they did, they were hiring someone to dress up as a gorilla for the day to keep visitors coming.

    The man, though taken aback, takes the job out of sheer desperation, and to his own surprise, actually enjoys it. He monkeys around all day, making faces and swinging just barely over wall of the lion cage next door.

    One day, as he swings over the wall, his rope snaps. Disoriented, he looks up to find the lion stalking towards him. He thinks, "Screw this job" and starts screaming at the top of his lungs for help. The lion stalks up to him and says, "Shut up or you'll get us both fired!"

    Buh dum shh.

    Comic Sans walks into a bar. The bartender says "we don't serve your type here"
  • lol.. that's very funny!
  • Already following you on Twitter and FriendFeed. @rkdd gimme gimme gimme? :D

    Walking home from work once, I saw a dude carrying a sleeping bag & pillow, a few grocery bags, and a duffle bag (entirely too much to carry at once). He clumsily tripped and had a magnificent fall with equally magnificent noise (I imagine a donkey getting kicked square in the jewels would sound similar). As I passed by, I told him "it probably won't make you feel any better, but that made my fuckin day!!"
  • Frédéric Bourgeon
    That one is so interesting, I've read some excerpt of it and seems awesome.

    For the #1 step, I was already following your RSS with Netvibes. I joined FriendFeed and added yours, I'll give it a try as you advised ;) And already have your twitter too.
    I use either Frédéric Bourgeon, Frenetikfred or Frenetik as nicknames.

    @frenetik for twitter.

    And the joke:

    A monkey gets into a bar and asks the barman:
    "Do you have bananas?"
    "No, we don't have bananas."
    "Do you have bananas?"
    "No, we dont' have any."
    "Do you have bananas?"
    "No, are you deaf or what!! If you ask me again if I have bananas I nail down your tongue on the bar counter!!!
    "Do you have studs?"
    "No"
    "Do you have bananas?"

    It made me laugh this afternoon again, for the 168 time. Not the best joke ever, but always efficient and never gets old.
  • Yeehaw, that book is awesome.
    I would love one.

    I confirm subscribing to all of the above...although I was already on your twitter feed.
