Okay, some of you might think that this is supposed to say "Whale Bone Bar & Grill". I'd say, "of course not don't be ridiculous!"<br />

Now, you might call me crazy, but I say what's crazy is that this looks like it's HAND PAINTED!<br />
<br />
That's right. I'm pretty sure this is a first for our blog... the very first hand painted Papyrus. But then, it's not even real Papyrus. It's <a href="http://m.font.downloadatoz.com/fr/font,2289,parchment-regular/">PARCHMENT</a>! And we all know that Parchment is the <strike>Mr. Pibb</strike> Pibb XTra to Papyrus's Dr. Pepper. So, for the hand painting, it gets an "A", but it gets docked a point for "faux-pyrus".<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">What a gem of a Papyrus sighting! Real Gemstone Earrings! Like the Trading Company, your jaw will be "Earthbound" as it drops to the floor when you see this: Papyrus, surrounded with (images of) gemstones! Does it get any more regal than this? And there's a bit of a drop shadow to really make it "POP!" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Random note, I think they stretched the "G" out a little bit. It's hard to tell because of the angle of the picture. But I did a little Photoshop magic, and take a look for yourself at the photo below...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
What do you think, is the "G" stretched, or did I just not get the thing lined up correctly? The truth is, I think that if someone was going to go to the effort to stretch out a letter, they would at least make it noticeably stretched. They probably wouldn't bother to stretch it just a tiny bit. So, I'll say it's just the camera angle playing optical tricks. I've thought about this way too much.</span><br />

Notice the wide kerning in the header. The words "WINE LIST" seem to be trying to spread all the way across the page, for maximum Papyrus coverage. The wine colored letters evoke ripe fruit with vanilla undertones. And the smaller letters are delightfully harmonious, with a hint of sweetness. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">New Papyrus Sighting!! This one was sent in from <span>Andrew Ostroff in Australia. He says "</span><span>Some fodder for the papyrusmill.. </span><span>Completely renegade & off brand for IGA in Australia." What better way to say Fine Food & Wine, than with Papyrus? This looks like a nice normal use of the typeface, but I think there might be a small amount of beveling on the edges. Always a nice way to make the letters look more 3-Dimensional. Welcome to Something Special indeed... </span><span>Thanks, Andrew!</span></span><br />

I found this screen cleaning kit at Radio Shack. This company also makes <strike>cables</strike> emotional transporters. I did not buy any, so I guess my emotions will not be transported. I'll have to stick with stationary emotions. Upon close examination, it seems that this a Papyrus imposter! I'm pretty sure this is Faux-pyrus! It's otherwise known as Parchment. It's pretty simple red on black. Nothing much to say about it other than it looks like they widened the kerning between the 'e' and the 'L', which is kind of odd. Did they worry that the words ran too closely together? Did they want to make it look more like two words? If so, why didn't they just put a space in between them? It's like they weren't sure if they wanted to make it one word or two, and they settled for 1.25 words. Crazy.

New papyrus sighting! Matthew Kilareski in Pennsylvania, USA sent in this sighting of "Papyrus usage that may lead to drinking yourself into a blinded stupor..." referring of course to Western Family's First Aid Antiseptic Rubbing Alcohol. He even added this helpful note, "Seriously though- don't drink rubbing alcohol." Good advice! Thanks Matthew!

Look at that thing. Just look at that cute little otter sticking his face out of the letter 'O'. I've got to admit, I've got a soft spot for otters. So of course, when I saw this logo for <a href="http://www.redotter.net/index.php">Red Otter</a>, I loved it immediately. I noticed they did some distortion to the letter 'O' to make the otter fit inside. At first I thought that they had only smooshed it down a little, but then I noticed it looks like they actually pulled the bottom right corner down a little. Maybe they copied the left side and rotated it around? That's kinda what it looks like. Here's an example. On the left is a regular 'O', in the middle is theirs and on the right is a smooshed 'O'. Can you see the differences?

Livin' on the edge with Papyrus! This fine example of Papyrus comes all the way from Baltimore, MD! If you're astute, you may notice the hint of a green drop shadow to give the feeling that the words are teetering above the page slightly. Better not go too far, or you may fall off... The Edge!

The hard edge of the glow on SR looks intense.<br />Winner: Silk Road<br /><br />Drop Shadow: FoG has a solid drop shadow, with nice distance, making it feel like the text is floating above the fish, or perhaps swimming by it.

And there's even one of those old vehicles that I can't remember the name of, with what looks like wood panels on the side, that people who live at the beach sometimes drive! Although I've been to the beach quite a few times, and I've never seen one. But someone used to at some point! And it's driving toward what looks like some large red thing! And maybe that's a person standing next to it. I can't tell. <br />From the looks of this picture, the bottle is almost as big as the tree behind it. You might say, "That tree is really far away."
