I need you to explain it.

Also, since the thread is headed that direction, is anyone unaware that I speak German? If so, let me know so I can tell you. It's pretty impressive.

I actually like listening to people talk in their native tongues. Or just other languages they've picked up. Hearing English your entire life makes it lose its shine. So there are times when I'm waiting in a line and people start talking in German, Russian, or Portuguese, I'll listen in just because it's tones I don't hear a million times a day. For all I know they could be calling me an asshole. But it sounds good and I don't mind.

As long as we're drudging up old posts for no good reason, what do you guys think of this shirt?  It's just a quick photoshop, to get your opinions, so ignore how everything is misaligned. 



Even though it's 4 colors, I think I could still offer it for $20, including shipping.  Another option would be to make the front logo plain white, but I think colored would look cooler.

Yeah, I know, screw Laugh Track, why should he get his name in there and nobody else.  I was just playing around with ideas and probably won't keep it even though it's a cool name.  I'd really like to add a few things to the list, though.  Inside jokes having to do with PLA would be preferred.  Am I missing any major events?  There's the Black Friday at Wal-Mart thing, but how do I make that make sense as a title, or in the summer.  And are there any lines in there that you completely hate?

And how big should that PLA bell on the front be?  CD-sized?  Pringle can lid sized?  Car tire sized?

Looks good to me.. I think b&w or color would both be cool- the b&w logo on the back looks good

Size-wise maybe a bit larger on the logo, but its hard to say without seeing it being worn. Its easy to make logos way too large on shirts as well though

Yeah, make that logo larger. I will actually spend money on this; as opposed to all the other free shit Brad gives me.

Yeah, just like you promised to buy a H*rley shirt, jerk!

And really, larger?  I thought it was too big.  I didn't think hackers liked colors, so I was going to go smaller on it.

If I were to go just one color on the front logo, what would be a good color?  How about grey?  It would be more subtle than the bright white I use for everything.

Colors are alright on the logo, as long as the t-shirt is black.

What's with the Dates?

The dates will be real and in order when I finish.  I was just putting in random stuff to see how the formatting looked.

I think to play it safe, I'm going to stick to 1 color on the front logo for now.  If people end up really liking this shirt, maybe I'll do a 3 color logo later this year or next.  I talked to my t-shirt guy and to do 4 screens on a shirt, I think I have to order a minimum of 48 shirts and there's a fee of $20 per screen.  After this Harl3y incident, I just don't have $500 to put up for another batch of shirts that will probably take all year to sell.

So I'm having this shirt made.  The above is just a photoshop, but that's the actual image from the final design.  The t-shirt place says it'll be ready in about 3 weeks.  Here's a link to buy it from, where you can see the dates more clearly.

The thing on the bottom of the post about $10 for a secret shirt - that's the shirt that I was forced to remove a few months ago.  So if you want to help me get rid of those, then this is a good way to do it.  Thanks!
