magnets?


I refuse to sink so low as to buy my underwear at the dollar store (not that I’m judging, and thanks for the compliments). But I did find these great typographic alphabet refrigerator magnets there a little while ago. There’s sans-serif letters, and italics, and lower cases, and titling capitals, and Small-X heights… and I’m a giant design nerd.
If I scrap-booked, I’d go to the dollar store for everything - they have the same stickers and hole punches and borders they sell everywhere else for astronomical prices - but for a dollar instead. However, I also refuse to sink so low as to scrapbook.

    Personally, I prefer the simplicity of tradition in my magnetic letters. However, nearly all other kinds of tradition is stupid and just impedes modernity.

    Science good. Republicans/Conservatives bad.

    Hey… I’ve never gotten underwear at the dollar store either… I was just saying, you know, sometimes you can get good deals there! :)

    I love these letters. Sometimes the dollar store is a gold mine of cool stuff.

    Phew, good, cause… ewww.
    But I didn’t want to offend anybody. Not that I care about too much about offending random strangers on the internet, but other than the underwear thing you seemed nice.
