Stupid, even for Twitter. Great way to keep followers.

My response to your "callout":

Thanks Gnome! I would email you and respond as to why I did it but you took the anonymous route so I will tell you here.

I made this "list" to make fun of worthless list posts without saying something I would regret. So, I made a painless list post on Papyrus, a bad font that really, has no reason to be used. It is overused, expresses itself poorly and is just not a pretty face.

So, in closing, I have provided the design community with my fair share of links, because I like to share and me listing a "stupid, even for twitter post" is keeping me sane, saying that I think silly list posts do not provide any quality to the design community and having a little fun.

Thank you for the response.
Sincerely,

Chad, I saw this tweet and thought "What possible use-case-scenarios could there be for Papyrus, much less 10 best practices? Really?" Made me laugh out loud. Well worth the 5 seconds ;-)
