But it's funny like when I slip on a banana peel. Also, I think part of the appeal of "glonous" as a word is that it sounds like it must be some part of the anatomy that is not supposed to be mentioned in polite company. |

I was going to do spring but (a) I ran out of space and (b) I hate spring now that I have allergies. |

Very attractive artwork. PC problems are a real stretch of imagination. But the people who represent Spring will probably be contacting you for equal time. |

I just can't read the phrase "glonous history", regardless of spelling, without cracking a smile. And the thought of you having to annunciate it clearly out loud to some innocent person who really wants to know what your AIM name is is pretty funny. |

Neal, you have problems with narcoleptic things in general, huh? |

The cellphone guy doesn't look confused. The smokin'-tokin' black dude would probably garner more objections because of a potential pro-smoking message rather than percieved racial bias. (although he is noticiably blacker than the cellphone guy, suggesting the cellphone guy may actually be Indian which would again conform to racial stereotypes). If there's a sour point of this poster then it's definitely the woman: narcoleptic, frumpy, depressed, wearing an unflattering, androgynous sports jersey. I think that stereotype might hit a little too close to home for some people.
But if you ask me, the unhappy vibes of some people at the bus stop just make it more fun. If everyone was happy it would be just be more of that smiling propaganda people have to encounter everywhere. In ads everyone is always so goddamn happy -- that shit drives people crazy. When people are portrayed as middling, it makes everyone feel better. |

AIM! I have no idea how they chose that length, but that's apparently what it is. |
| |
What IM service are you using that allows up to *13* characters anyway? What a strange number to choose. |

I find it very amusing my friends from different arenas find appeal in the different names. Most of these are in-jokes. Actually, I am a bit pleased that there is so much support for "server ok" given that it is totally an in-joke about a fairly obscure piece of research software, Twelf. On the other hand, it does totally peg me as a nerd even to those not in-the-know, or at least a forgetful radiohead fan.
I must say that I am basically only considereing "sucker pinch" and "SERVER OK" now because they're the only ones I can say to people and that have an obvious spelling. That's more important than you think.
It seems that I spelled glonous history "wrong", in fact! One pro of this name, though, is that I could cleverly sign my name as "Tom Thurnb." Hah... get it?! |

But now I'm pretty sure these are all fake. As an amusing coincidence, they use my fonts on several of these shirts. |

Yeah, everybody (except the kids, who don't know any better) is supposed to have that vacant, detached expression. That is the whole point of the drawing. I'm glad you like it, Marc! |

I don't get failcess. I like glonous history and SERVER OK. |

No more confused than everyone else in there, in my opinion. I really like it, I think it's quite beautiful. I wish I would see it in the busses here! |

Man, way to make me feel bad. You know I spent like 10 hours on this, right? I don't think he looks confused. At least, he's not supposed to... |
| |
I like how you made the black guy smoking something, and the other one looks confused about how to operate a cellphone. Real PC man. |
| |
|
|
| |
Man you should have the credits roll when you set the tardis on fire. |
| |
Yeah SERVER OK was my second vote too |
| |
SERVER OK is a close second in my mind to failcess |
