Can we have some mefi onesies too please?
I have a baby that owes her unteaseable name to metafilter and we would love to support the grey, green and blue by putting her and her big sister in onesies. Well, toddler in a little t-shirt.
Would others like to put their little folk in them? Little Milo looks like he'd love one, hey ColdChef?!
Matt, pretty please?

I'm curious about what the unteaseable name is, but I'd feel pretty weird asking the name of a kid I don't know. So I'm just going to assume her name is "I'maBigStupidJerk." Basically nowhere to go with that.

MetaFilter the T-shirt, MetaFilter the Coloring Book, MetaFilter the Lunch box, MetaFilter the Breakfast Cereal, MetaFilter the Flame Thrower. (The kids love this one.)

Here is my kiddo's Mefi onesie [front] [back] [in action!], done in honor of the 10th anniversary meetup! I know you all don't want this one, but I couldn't help sharing. See also my AskMe question -- as you can see I really liked the idea of putting "[more inside]" on the butt!

Mr/Ms Pigeon.... it's Seldon. When you consider she was nearly a Dhardon, you can see why I love this place so much... and I'm sure folk will find something about Seldon that they want to tease, but in the list I presented to the green... Seldon was the besterest.

taff: "unteaseable name"
"Seldom Seldon"
"Sel-dumb"
"Hey, establish any Foundations lately?"
No name is unteaseable. Kids are ingenius. (But that name is spectacular, nonetheless.)

I would love a toddler-sized t-shirt for my little guy.
And Doofus - I would call that a romper, not a onesie, even though the article called it a onesie. Rompers have legs, onesies don't.
and oops, "Onesie" is actually a trademarked term.

What a bunch of cheeky buggers.... I think I'm going to have to put some of you over my knee and spank your bots.
And I'm not getting the Hairy Seldon reference. Is it a person?
I shouldn't have thrown the gauntlet of the unteaseable name. None of you brought these up in the original thread. Is it too late to call her Gertrude...?
And Matt, about the onesies... yes??

other mefi attire that should be available:

lederhosen

lifejackets
garter belts

If adult-sized footie pajamas are unavailable, I would settle for unitards.

Nobody else cares about the onesies.
However, when it comes to the adult-sized footie romper-pyjamas with the Jed Clampett bum-flap, the crowd has spoken!

I'd just like t shirt designs that are better than the current ones. I've already got one of the blue ones, it's good. I wanted to buy more, but the grey ones seem a bit dull to me.
A mefi t-shirt design comp would seem an easy thing to get together.
And maybe a mefi labcoat.
That wouldn't be too much to ask.
And chaps. For when I ride my pony.

I'd always heard that slippery-slope arguments were inherently fallacious, but Metafilter merch makes me wonder.
