The Threadless 0.5K Snuggie Run

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 10:22:56 -0500

A bunch of skinnycorp staff members ran in the slushy Chicago Shamrock Shuffle this weekend, and I think a few of us have caught the running bug.

So we are thinking about sponsoring our own event, the 0.5K Snuggie Run.

Right now, I think we'll limit it to 500 participants, and the route will be from the front door of Threadless HQ to our warehouse down the street.

Do you guys have any ideas for the event?

The elusive frowny wink ;(

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:49:26 -0500

The most complex of the emoticons, the frowny wink is very complicated and conflicted. Just look at it:

;(

It is obviously sad, but it is sad with an inclusive wink... like it knows something that I don't. Thus the wink, saying "i wish you were in on this secret but I just can't tell you." And apparently that secret is sad. I believe the frowny wink has the potential to be used in creepy ways, I am just not sure I know how to yet.

What is a proper use, in context, for the frowny wink as an emoticon?

Sniff sniff...

Do you guys smell that?

My own personal ScottV Loves competition

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:33:39 -0600

That's right, I've gone rogue. I'm a renegade. I'm holding my own, personal, loves competition.

Here's the competition:

ScottV loves animal attacks. I want to see your best design of animals attacking speedy joe. Heavy preference toward multiple animals attacking at one time. For instance, speedy standing on a pier, being eaten by a shark, mauled by a bear, and gored by a cougar... would probably win.

The prize: it probably won't be printed, but I'll send you a gift card or a high five or something.

Post your subs in this thread.

UPDATE: Deadline February 14th.

I need inappropriate suggestions on things to do with office supplies.

It is in the name of science.

Thanks,

Scott

Our doorbell here at Threadless broke, so the tech awesome dudes hacked together a magnificent replacement for it out of this super mega awesome noise making synthesizer robot!

Our friends at Bleep Labs sent us a Thingamagoop, and he's doing a good job, but he needs a new name! So post your name idea in this blog, and while everyone is here tomorrow, we'll vote and select a winner!

Here's the best part.. the winner will get their very own Thingamagoop, courtesy of Bleep Labs!

Go at it!

Dudes,

I am shaving my beard tonight, and creating as awesome of a mustache as possible.

I need suggestions. Do it up.
