T-shirts for sale!

mathowie — Wed, 09 May 2007 11:20:29 -0800

I'm selling my first ever real silkscreen printed t-shirts, through Coudal Partners' Swapmeat. It's limited to 119 shirts in M, L, and XL, $19 each (paypal). Ever have trouble finding someone at a meetup? This should help. Also, if this goes well, I'll be doing more designs in the future.

Why don't you just cry your leprechaun tears all over it and shrink it that way, Stynxno. We Very Large People (VLP) have no time for your tiny concerns.

By: Divine_Wino

Divine_Wino — Wed, 09 May 2007 11:48:14 -0800

I commend you for your entrepreneurial spirit, sir and I will perhaps purchase the shirt, both because I enjoy a good "t-shirt" and because I have such a fondness for metafilter and this is a good a way as any to support it, as I sneaked in before it cost money to join and my religion forbids the use or purchase of sockpuppets.

I would like to point out, however -and I say this only because I care- in that photo of you on the front page, wearing your t-shirt, it looks for all the world as if you are looking down with a strong dose of pride and a hint of coquettishness, sweetly amused that you are wearing your lovely new t-shirt and NOTHING ELSE AT ALL. So I say, sir, please, sir, where are your pants? Are funds that low? I will express you some pants if you need them. There is no need to go about your business bottomless.*

*That is you matt, is it not? If not, if I am mistaken, please be aware that your model seems to have no covering on his lower limbs, that's a little weird bro. You can wear a t-shirt and pants, surely, even in the communard bohemias of whatever pot grove in Oregon that you live.

I'm curious to see how these sell, actually. Part of me would be shocked if they didn't move and fast, but the other part of me has about 700 CDs still sitting in a friend's basement.

But t-shirts are a lot more approachable of a concept than compilation albums—there's no explanation needed, so that may lower the threshold a lot. And you can't wear a CD around town.

After years of pith and vinegar and wit-, self- and tireless word-whacking, I am so gratified to have finally spawned a Metafilter in-joke. Please join me in celebration by favoriting one of jonson's posts or comments!

And I got to like the point of hovering my mouse pointer over the 'PAY' button, but I've gotten so weird over the years about spending money on things I want but don't really need that I couldn't bring myself to click.

One has made it all the way down here to New Zealand. (The blue of the shirt is fairly close to the blue of the page, in my case.)

Well, I had to get one. My wife will probably roll her eyes at me, but I'm a sucker for shirts proclaiming my tendency to spend too much time on the internets.

PS: those of you not seeing the checkout buttons, turn off Adblock if it's installed. Worked for me. And the shirt is... teal? It sure isn't MeFi blue, at any rate.
