Sometimes, when I don't feel like I'm getting enough artistic attention, I decide to sell myself to the corporate mephistopheles.

Annie merchandise - now for sale!

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Annie, I LOVE the "Abby" t-shirt... if my name were Abby, I would SO buy it!

To bad "Shani" doesn't work to look like "ebay"... Oh well. [Frown]

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

Awesome. [Smile]

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the Abby shirt to be the next fashion sensation, but you never know when one might come in handy. [Smile]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Annie -- okay, I'm dumb.

It says it is a tribute to the infamous Abby Watson. Who the heck was that?

My roommate. [Razz]

Chances are, if I ever leave you puzzled: you're not dumb; I'm random.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

[No No]

No wonder I couldn't figure it out with a Google search! That trademark thing really threw me!

[Big Grin]

Annie!!!

What did you do with the Abby shirt? I was going to show it to a friend of mine whose daughter's name is Abby, and when I went to show it, it isn't on your site now!

I don't believe that is true...I know a lot of parody merchendice is sold, even in the malls, without concent.

Not that they are lying, but that wasn't my understanding of it...

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

So -- is the Abby shirt still available?

(I know you can't answer me right now because you are probably busy working on your landmark....) So e-mail me!

It's "pending". Whatever that means.

[Grumble]

Holy shiznittle!

Do we get a discount?

Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :

Eee... I want to buy one. But I have to save money. I must.

Also, I bet Cafepress is just being extremely careful so as to avoid any lawsuits from eBay even if it is legal.

Here's some more shameless self-promotion. I just updated the poll at my site's front page. Have fun. [Smile]

I can't believe you didn't make T-day football games one of the choices, Tick...

FG

Tick, I voted for other. I hate cranberry sauce and I'm a vegetarian, so Thanksgiving holds no appeal for me. [Smile]

I was focusing on food. Football is a given.

Hmm, leftover turkey is beating same day turkey, and canned cranberry sauce is whipping the kind with junk in it like a rented mule. I like.
