T-shirts departés

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Phew.  The vast bulk of the shirts are now out of my hands, and into
the arms of the postal service.  All the pre-paid shirts should now be
sent out, unless I've messed up something.

There's still quite a few reserved shirts left and stuff, but sometime
next week I should know how many I have left, and let y'all know which
colors/sizes I have to order, and then anyone who wants them can
reserve them.  And stuff.

Now I think I'll veg out a bit.

Mine arrived yesterday.  Wow!  That was quick, I wish local mail was
that fast ...

Mine also arrived yesterday.  I got two, and the yellow one appears to
be lighter than the orange one, and it has a different brand label.
Was this a known feature?  I like the orange one's sturdiness better.

The concentric circles on the front are pretty neat.  Mesmerizing.

  Yep, downloading news is like sucking thick treacle through a
straw. Been like that for the last few days???

Yeah.  I ended up with four different type shirts.  Some are quite
nice, but about half of the white XL shirts are kinda flimsy.

Loook into my shirt...  You are feeling drowsy...

(Actually, they aren't circles -- it's an Archimedean spiral.  Or
whatever they're called.  I cleverly put the inner endpoint of the
spiral under the nose of the gnu.)

Say -- have anyone who's seen the shirt (and not seen the Gnus logo
before) managed to guess what it is?  I sincerly hope that nobody is
thrown into jail on satanic charges or something because of its
ambiguous imagery.

Ok, "sincerly" is perhaps overstating my true feelings.

Even people quite familiar with the Gnus logo and me using Gnus didn't 
recognize the front. The back is easier, but normally hidden by chairs 
and such.

Hmm, if I order a white-on-black Tee next summer people will probably
mistake "Programmerer Ingebrigtsen" for a norwegian death metal group.
Nah, the letters would have to be molten gothic for that...

My first impression of the design was that it resembled the opening
sequence to a James Bond movie where he walks across the screen and
fires at the audience.

Of course, the back of the shirt would then have barely clothed
nubile blonde gnus doing the trampoline thing.

"Dr. Gno", "From Gnus with Love", "Gnusfinger", &c.

Maybe with 'Odd-jobs' as a hardened lisp programmer.

No.  But then again many don't "get" the startup-splash-logo if I
start Gnus in a 80-by-25 console, either.

On a side note:  my girlfriend apparently likes the Gnus logo: she
painted it on one of her fingernails just the other day.  It has been
duly photographed, of course.

Any tattoos out there yet?

Huh.  I wonder whether it's difficult making one of those press-on
"tattoos"; I think the stark lines of the logo would make a neat
tattoo.

www.pynx.com (for instance) makes custom tats for $0.20 a piece...
Hmmm...  Hmmmmm...

I should have made some before the t-shirts so I could have snuck one
into each package.

I'll holler and wave my arms manically as soon as the pictures are
available. (Still some to go before the film is full, I'm afraid.)

Maybe to go with whatever Mucho Neat Merchandise you come up with next
spring/summer, so our SOs can wear them on their bare stomachs or
whatever.  :]

For some months, I have always thought it depicts a running garcon
with a tablet (the horns) on a raised hand. I'm cured now.

No, that's the other arm (the gnu's backside). Big shoulder though ...
