But its not true of course: if all you have is a hammer then *none* of your problems look even remotely like nails...

Methinks that argument is several toolboxes short of a workshop ...

Nah, Claire isn't able to deliver a funny with a straight face. She always takes on this posture as if she's delivering a punchline on a sitcom and waiting for the laugh track to trigger.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 15 May 2017, 23:30 ---This is the posture of a woman who does not know if she's picked up an inert piece of metal and rubber or a bit of super-science that could explode with no obvious warning.
--- End quote ---

You mean the posture where she's holding the possibly-explody-thingy right in front of her eyes?

(TBH - the rest of your explanation/headcanon about "Claire's Hammer" made sense to me. Not this part, though)

'm going to have to watch how I type metaphors, especially ones exaggerated for comedic effect, around you, aren't I?

--- End quote ---

*dances* It's all about the jokes, 'bout the jokes!  :mrgreen:

--- Quote from: Morituri on 15 May 2017, 10:26 ---Seriously.  I don't want to go on recommending a font people hate so horribly.  Tell me something else - ANYTHING else - that meets universal-use conditions as well as comic sans does.

Arial.

I would say Helvetica.

--- End quote ---

And I would say that neither of those looks anything like hand-lettering. 

I do, however, regularly recommend Helvetica if resemblance to hand-lettering isn't specifically required. 

A really horribly bad version of Arial (which appears about 20% smaller) was, at least up to last year, installed by default on a lot of Linux machines and makes anything in Arial nearly unreadable to some fraction of browsers.
