OLD FORUM POSTS

Posted by Mike Jackson on October 29, 2002
If you really want a good chuckle, go read the article from October of 1987, linked below to the SignCraft site. I asked the editors if they would put it on the site a year ago, and they finally let me know they found it and uploaded it for all of us to read again. (he said they get several requests for that article each month for all these years, but no one could remember the title)

For those who remember it, Frank Spino wrote this comical article about the way he rates his clothing on a numerical scale based on the amount of paint and holes they have. I can guarantee you a good laugh, as it hits home with anyone who still hand letters.

Tom told me I could just copy and paste it into the post, but it is a PDF document and I couldn't see a good way to do it here.

Cool. I have been thinking of that system recently and tell others about it periodically. I always wanted to post it by the door of the house.
