So my hat goes off to Tiffany Malakooti and Threadless for this "sleeper" design.

Way cool.]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2007 01:08:19 -0600


In honour of that fact, and to show off the cool art he sent me, I did product shots of the three Jublin shirts I'd not yet done pics for...







Thanks again, Justin, for a way cool Secret Santa package. Merry Christmas, Joyous Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, etc.!]]> Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:10:01 -0600
The coolest part of wearing this to school is that it's printed in my school colours: green and gold.

Great design, way cute, and I love the double meaning in the title!

I do wonder where the kids' sizes are, though...]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 20:37:20 -0600 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:00:00 -0600 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 10:32:31 -0600
Congrats to jinosan on a great design. This is awesome, and I'd love to wear it. Alas, as a big fat bastard, that placement just doesn't do it for me. I guess this is kind of the equivalent of the ladies' boob-placement blogs!]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 17:25:29 -0600

ORIGINAL POST:

Heya.

Okay, some of you may be aware that I recently decided to give away some shit that was cluttering my life. The "some shit" in question were Star Wars figures. Well, I have more.

These are all new-ish figures (from 1999 on), out of the box, in good shape, and there are seven Phantom Menace figures (including everyone's favourite, Jar Jar Binks!) and seven figures from the original trilogy.

For the first round, I gave 'em away to the first people to ask for 'em. This time, I will be giving away fourteen random figures to the fourteen people who can summarise a Star Wars film (good ones -- ie, original trilogy -- or bad) in a Haiku.

Read the caveats below, then go for it!

_______

CAVEATS:

These figures are random! Don't ask for a specific one, kid, or you'll find yourself floating home.

...and toyless.

Remember that a Haiku has 3 lines with 5 syllables in the first and third lines, and 7 syllables in the second.

_______
