U.S. — The new trove of Epstein documents has revealed damning photos of Microsoft's former assistant "Clippy" visiting Epstein island.
Several compromising pictures released by the DOJ have placed the anthropomorphic paper clip at the island during the time when girls were being trafficked there by Epstein.
"This looks really bad," said legal expert Kenny Montana. "Picture after picture of Clippy, right on the island, and never with clothes on. He doesn't look remotely embarrassed. On the contrary, Clippy always has the same lurid smile and wide-eyed gaze. There's no explaining his way out of this."
Not only did Clippy appear in dozens of photographs, the new files also name Clippy repeatedly in Epstein's correspondence. "The pictures are bad enough," said Montana. "But there are tons of emails showing communication between Clippy and Epstein. We have hundreds of examples of Clippy 'offering to help' Epstein with a wide range of criminal activities. I don't see how he doesn't get indicted."
At publishing time, Clippy had managed to evade police as officers struggled to figure out where to put the handcuffs.
“From what I read, Trump was no fan of Epstein, and that was documented BEFORE the scandal.”
A mere chess move. He was close friends with him for 20 years.
Consider, if you thought you might run for the presidency one day, think you might know 10-12 years in advance?
And think you might want to deal with something in 2006 that might bubble up in 2016?
So you call up the FBI and say you “discovered” this perv operation. Now you are the guy who was the one who turned him in.
These people in DC are not like us. None of them.
I wondered when he went. I wondered why he was always so happy. Now we know THE REST OF THE STORY.
Yes. In File Explorer. Seems he hopped around a little when you were searching for something.

A Clippy orgy on Epstein Island...

Always wondered if that thing was bent
FINALLY! The porn people have been salivating over ever seeing.
Now we can move on at last.
His classic appearance was in Microsoft Word, when you opened up a new document and typed a few words. He'd pop up in a corner with: "It looks like you're writing a letter! Would you like some help?"
Which is the genesis of the parody in dfwgator's post #23 above.
Do paper clips need pants. And the control censored it.
I’m more of a binder clip kind of guy.
Oh yeah. I remember that. I disable those things; they’re so annoying.
Maybe I’m thinking of the little dog in Explorer. Windows 95 maybe?
Yeah, "Rover" the dog, was originally introduced as a guide in Microsoft "BOB" (remember BOB?), as part of Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. He came back in Windows XP for searching in File Explorer.
Trivia: Rover's messages were originally displayed in a Times New Roman font, but users considered the bookish, serif typeface too stiff and formal, inappropriate for a cartoon dog. In response, Microsoft designers created the infamous "Comic Sans" typeface for Rover, and it took off from there.

He aspired to be like Bill Clinton.

You say that like it’s a BAD thing.
There is a reason the Biden team didn’t go with the Epstein accusations, I bet the Democrat Epstein connections must bepowerful.
So that’s the Comic Sans history. Interesting.
One further trivia detail. According to the Comic Sans Wikipedia page, although the new font was created for MS-BOB, it was completed too late for inclusion in MS-BOB itself. That's due to the fact that MS-BOB was an utter failure and got killed off very quickly (**). The font got picked up for numerous other products and eventually became one of the default fonts in Windows, Internet Explorer, etc.
I used Comic Sans on a couple of websites I did in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's very readable and easy on the eyes.
(**) Melinda Gates, who was already married to Bill, was the Marketing Manager for MS-BOB.
“It’s very readable and easy on the eyes.”
It really is!
I’m a font hoarder. Have about 6,000 of them. At least I used to. Just got a “new” refurbished desktop and haven’t copied all font files into the Fonts directory yet. Gotta find my backup drive.
My favorite is Rockwell, but it uses a lot of ink. Use Garamond mostly.
