TWG T-Shirts
« on: April 19, 2004, 04:49:22 PM »
Ok, since everyone has been whining about not being on the list or not being worthy of the list, I'm scrapping the list and starting anew.

Here's my idea, and this, in my eyes, is where you should register your complaint or enthusiasm or apathy about a) being quoted and 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. Below, register your opinion on how we should go about making T-Shirts, how/where we should sell them, what we should do with profits (aside from the graft which will end up in my pocket), what color they should be, quotes that deserve to be on T-Shirts, and any other input you have.

the list is made up of people who meet the following requirements:
people who have not told me they don't want their moniker/quote/cartoon likeness on an article of clothing
People who have had a quote of theirs recommended by another user (no self recommendation, and you don't recommend people, you recommend QUOTES)

THE LIST:
SaintEhlers
Tage
Slant
42
Jeffe
JamPaladin
fuzzyoctopus
Entropy
GtWC
Spriggan
Tekiel
Brenna
EUOL
Gemm

Right now I'm thinking white shirts, because I'm uncreative like that. I'm also thinking something with a TWG logo somewhere. URLs ideally on sleeves, backs, and fronts.

All that subject to change once I know what cost outlay will be.

also, I'm thinking some non-quote shirts. one idea saying

"Play me!" and having a URL for one of the departments, possibly with a picture/icon related to that department. (variants for movies/books sections might say "Watch me!" or "Read me!")

Jam Palidan "Pants are *not* optional! "

42 "the 500th article, one of the signs that the world is about to end. "

Entropy "Freud can go to hell. "

That one that went around for a while that Spriggan had said. Something like: "Everything is charismatic as geese."
“NOTHING IS TRUE. EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED.”

Can we have a shirt that says "Stet Cannister!!"?

I'm thinking that black, red and blue (non-pastels) are also good options for t-shirt color. However, cost may be prohibitive.

I nominate "Retarded Chicken Bigot!" as well as the first SE quote that I quoted. Which I can't remember right now.

Since this was my idea and I'm not seeing any good spriggan quotes, I decided to post several that I remember.  Listed in no paticaluar order.

Ahhhhh you amatures I'm 90% lazy

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Cat Burger

it looks kinda fake for one thing, but the fact that it grows 6 inches a day! and can grow up 12 feet.

Sorry but Spriggan has been speaking in Japanese alot and speaking in 3rd person is perfectly normal in Japanese

Entropy, I just have one thing to say to you: THANKS SO FRICKEN MUCH!

You know here i am giveing you a new vocabulary and you mock me.

I say we need to discuss this at Doc's pizz buffet with tage paying.

well i seem to remeber you takeing out a baseball bat and hitting us repeadly when we got out of hand.

Wow I use to love those when I was a kid, now I just find them disturbing.

well everything but the wearing the same shirt everyday.  Good hygine isn't a waste of time.

But if you want to know how cool I am, I have my orignal NES with Zelda I&II

But the sheer jiglyness of the women would be more then pg-13

He's scottish, so everyone's a bastard

We do it so the bad articel writters feel better about themselfs.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

My personal favorite is:

Caps lock is not your friend. It is, in fact, your mortal enemy and made very disparaging remarks about your mother.
-Entropy

Since I don't suppose we could squeeze this on here.

Saint Ehlers: "Just to be clear, I've decided to become transparent."
JamPaladin: "Not opaque?"
Saint Ehlers: "Just to be clear, I am not being opaque."
Gemm:        "Opaque isn't as clear as being transparent. So I encourage him to be as transparent as he can."
JamPaladin: "Why not compromise on translucent?"
Saint Ehlers: "Just to be clear, I'm allowing light to pass through me."
"Hr hr! dwn wth vwls!" - Spriggan

I reject your reality, and substitute my own. - Adam Savage, Mythbusters

French is a language meant to be butchered, especially by drunk Scotts. - Spriggan

I think that having a Saint interrogate you for the Inquisition would be very effective, what with him being holy and dead and all. --fuzzy

Well, I worked and worked and worked (sort of) and finally leveled up from Gutter-crawler . . .  only to find that I am now a Flea-ridden Gutter-crawler.  Guess work is starting to get to me.--Tekiel

Are they serious or is this just a random thought?  Cause the idea of Aragorn suddenly bursting out in song during a battle seems a little weird to me.--Tekiel

And then there's the creature that is much scarier than plain old Cthulhu--"Hello Cthulhu"! --Brenna

Hey, I'm not a hermit anymore!  Oh, wait...well, at least I'm enlightened now... --Brenna

You insufferable women:  I don't *like* nagging.  I've just been told that I'm good at reminding people that they should be writing instead of doing other things.--EUOL

Hummm.  We'll have to try and find a way to make certain you accomplish your goal. I know!  Nagging.  It's time tested and mother-approved.  (Especially if it's my mother.) --EUOL

And Eric, I was teasing about me being quotable, as well. I already know I'm probably less quotable than some.  ;)

ok, yeah, I'm nominating some of those quotes spriggan posted, so he can go on (you can't nominate yourself, but I guess if you find yourself witty, as I do, you can remind people of what you've said so you can get nominated)

I agree with black.  Black is good for sneaking and assasinating.  I need more black, and less everything else, so I choose black.  

I also think it is important for the quotes to be funny out of context, as people who aren't part of the webstite will wonder what the friggin goose egg layin' chickens we are thinking when we say

"Are they serious or is this just a random thought?  Cause the idea of Aragorn suddenly bursting out in song during a battle seems a little weird to me.--Tekiel" (just as an example) and in return make us outcasts who are rejected by society.  And we all know those rejected by society smell funny...
