A few bumper stickers / one liners

I lost my virginity but I still have the box it came in.

Of course Democrats are sexy; who ever heard of a great piece of elephant?

I childproofed the house but sometimes they still get in

If you don’t stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them

Gone crazy, be back later (note: this should not be a bumper sticker; this should be a chat status message.)

I love it when other people have ideas I would never have!

Went out to brunch this morning with a nice couple, basically work-friends who I wouldn't mind turning into "real friends" (I have six months in which to do it, if I'm doing it, and then they're having a baby... tick tock, tick tock). We were talking about different systems of handwriting, and how cursive isn't taught as much in schools anymore, and how my best friend say_shazam got to learn italics in school and I bet nobody does that anymore at all. It turns out the woman wasn't interested in handwriting very much at all until college -- there, she started entertaining herself in lectures by trying to take class notes in the professor's own handwriting style.

That's so freaking clever and fun!

It makes me wonder, how many formal systems of handwriting/calligraphy do you know?
I usually write in block all-caps because it's most legible, but I can also write in:

• mixed-case block letters
• cursive
• italics (I taught myself as an adult, just to satisfy that niggling childhood jealousy).

(I made an abortive attempt once in high school to learn Pitman shorthand, somewhat under the influence of one of my favorite books, and also because the picture on the front of the Pitman book showed an elegant hand with long, glossy black nails. But that balloon never really left the ground -- it was too hard for me to make distinguishable light strokes and heavy strokes using the same writing implement.)
