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!

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]

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]

Annie -- okay, I'm dumb.

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

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

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...

So -- is the Abby shirt still available?

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]

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

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.
