I admit, we should have taken this off the forum long ago. So that's where it is right now. I apologize to the rest of you for continuing to stretch it out here.


Dang.  That's what we get for having all of our moderators doing rational things--like sleeping in--on a Saturday morning.  

Not to throw a wrinkle into things, but what about a multiple-quote T-shirt?  Like "Top ten things overheard at the TWG Forums" type thing?  Or, perhaps, a "If you've heard one of these things, you might be wasting too much time with us."  

Just a thought.  I like the single-quote shirts too, but the quote would have to be really spectacular--a distillation of the entire TWG experience--to be worth its solitary place on a shirt.

well, let's get more feedback on that. I don't think a single quote has to embody the experience, just be  a sample. I don't like whole lists of quotes though, because it takes to long to read. You want to get people's attention, deliver the message, and tell 'em where it's from. That's my though. I don't want people spending a year reading my shirt.

I agree with Saint.  We should definately do single shirt quotes (as that would leave room on the shirt to give a picture of the crew).  So the front we have a timewastersguide.com logo in the top left of across the chest and on the back we have the top quote and a picture of the quoter in front of everybody else?  Or are we JUST showing the quoter?

I was just going to show the one quoted person. Having a picture of the whole staff seems a bit much. And then there will be arguments about who deserves it or not.

And in that case, I think the quote would go next to the speaker.

I like that.  But as some ground rules, no matter who's on the T-Shirt there should be no complaining, eh?

do you people even read the relevant bits first? We're getting a cartoon of it made. It's not going to be a photo.

No, REALLY?  By the way, I was just asking about the entire cast picture because I suggested it and wanted to know what you decided.  TFO was just being ignorant...

actually i've read this entire thread, i just didnt understand it would be a cartoon on the shirt, and i still think it should be pictureless or at least have a version that is.

I vote for one quote per shirt, if the quote is of any length. I like the idea of the top ten, but most of the quotes we've seen have been pretty long. Top ten could work only if the quotes are very short.

Everything I've heard from SE so far on the design (TWG logo on front, quote and cartoon on back) sounds good to me.

Quote
b) being rendered as a cartoon on official TWG T-shirts.

The list in this post I will continually edit. It will reflect who we still need cartoons for.

people who have not told me they don't want their moniker/quote/cartoon likeness on an article of clothing



These selections were pulled from the very first post of the thread TFO.

***Subject in quotes may have been altered.  Any alterings occuring were the adding of bold to pre-existing text and the cutting of text from quote to fit relevance.  No text was added to these quotes.  No animals were harmed in the making of this program...

Dangit SE.  Those files where pentagon style tied up in legislation!  That was supposed to be a secret, now I have to change the disclaimer....
