Quassia Gnus Cap
_Howdy, folks._ It's that time of year again in these parts - the sun
is shining wildly and my forehead is sun-burned. Again. So the only
option left me is to create Quassia Gnus baseball caps.
Some might say that this cap has been created to celebrate the release
of Quassia Gnus 0.1, 1997-07-31, yadda yadda. Phooey! I've got a
sun-burnt forehead and I'm not going to take it anymore.
The Quassia Gnus cap is available in the following colors, sizes and
models:
1. Black, kinda stiff, with green metallic Gnus logo
2. Blue denim, floppy, with golden Gnus logo
3. Burgundy denim, floppy, with green Gnus logo
4. Green denim, floppy, with red shiny Gnus logo
100% cotton, with a cloth adjustment band in the back that's fastened
with a small metal clamp thingie. I haven't worn one myself, but they
felt to me to be of quite nice quality. No plastic anywhere on these
caps. Will probably survive a washing machine, although I haven't
tried that. I think the floppy denim-y ones had a better shape than
the stiff black one, but the black one looked more Gnusey. Oh, and the
brim on the denim-y ones had a different color than the cap itself,
but I forget what the combinations were. I think the blue one was all
blue, but the green one might have had a yellowish brim, and the
burgundy one might have had a cream brim, but don't quote me on that.
All the denim-y caps have quite subdued colors, anyway.
In case the model you want is sold out, I'll substitute a black cap,
unless you tell me otherwise.
I haven't actually got the caps yet, but I should have them on Friday
1997-08-01. I'll ship them as soon as I get them. If I have any left
after that, I'll take some snapshots of them and put some pictures of
them on this page.
This versatile apparel can be worn in many inventive ways, expressing
your own very special and unique personality. For instance, here's a
meeting between Man With Quassia Gnus Cap With Brim Forwards
(MWQGCWBF) and Man With Quassia Gnus Cap Backwards (MWQGCB):
_________________________________________________________________
_MWQGCB_: Hey, dude! Phat hat!
MWQGCWBF: Wha!? What did you call me!?
MWQGCB: Hey, man. Chill.
MWQGCWBF reaches into his pick-up truck for the gun rack.

As we leave this sweet scene, let us think about postage rates. The
caps are quite light, which means that there isn't all that much
postage, so you'll all have to get it air mail. Less work for me to
remember which packages to put air mail stickers on and everything.
The price for each cap, including postage, is US$ 14.00. Everywhere in
the world.
Order as many as you like. It's a first come, first served thing. If
the first batch sells out, I probably won't make a second batch, and
I'll return any money sent to me for orders I can't fill. If I'm
swamped with orders, I'll probably make more caps, but if you want to
be sure to get a copy, I'd suggest acting _now_. (Them thar September
Gnus t-shirts were sold out three days after I got them, for
instance.)
The easiest way to pay is just to stuff some money into an envelope
and mail it to me. We've done it twice now (for the September Gnus
t-shirt and the Red Gnus sweatshirt), and nobody lost any money. Just
wrap the money up in paper so that nosey postmen won't realize that
it's money. No coins!
Just about any currency is ok. Western European, American, Canadian,
Japanese, and Australian currencies are all easy for me to handle. To
find out how much money to send, use [1]this currency converter. Round
upwards to the nearest amount that can be expressed with paper money.
Eurocheques are ok, but you must make them out in Norwegian currency.
Personal cheques (on any bank) are not ok, and will be returned. If
you see me around somewhere in Oslo, you can probably bum a cap off of
me by slipping me 90 crowns. If you are in Norway, you can pay the
amount to my account, 7044.13.92999, and then send me an email saying
what cap model you want and what "reference number" you chose to use.
Just pick an arbitrary (big) number.
Send the moolah to:

Yihaa! Show them thar effete intellectuals what kind of man or woman
you really are by wearing a baseball cap! Feel at home during monster
truck events! Go to see professional wrestling! Become a Bon Jovi fan!
Go hunting for naugas and wear their hides! Buy a cap!
If you have any questions (as, for instance, why I didn't get around
to insulting _you_), you can reach me at [2]larsi@gnus.org.
