Hey kids,
I have not been around much this past week (thank you for noticing) because I have been busy launching a brand new t-shirt store (http://wordfront.com/wares/), Word Front Wares.
My friend and new business partner Chris Eagle and I have been talking about this for about ten years now, and finally we have done it.
New designs are still forthcoming, but shirts are available to ship immediately.
I'm sure I can trust your support. Our shirts also make excellent presents. Gift wrap service is available for a nominal fee.
Good day to you, Sir or Madame!
-
I didn't see any Great Outdoor Fight shirts. Not one.
`Paul
-
Yeah Jough, I hope you're not letting the MAN keep you down!
-
Wow, you're workin' some pretty rough chuckles there.
-
He's trying to get inside your head, y'know?
-
Just out of curiosity, why are some shirts $19.99 and others $23.99?
And why are the ones I'm interested in $23.99?
-
Some of them, like the ringer ts, just cost us more. The prices are solely based on the base price of the items. Also, multi-coloured designs cost a little more. One item, the Ladies Baseball T, is hell of sexy, but it costs us more than regular t-shirts, so we have to mark it up appropriately.
That's a good question, though - I'll have to add it to the FAQ.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE INTEREST AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING YOUR SNARKY T-SHIRT NEEDS

Not to take money out of Jough's hands or food off his table or nothing, but I'm all about the shirts at Threadless (http://www.threadless.com/?streetteam=Golfhaus)right now.
(edit: mod link)
-
Threadless has a lot of colourfull stuff, but I guess I don't "get" most of their designs. They are just cartoons for cartoon's sake?
If Onstad doesn't offer a Great Outdoor Fight shirt soon, I may have to beat him to it. The demand is just... too great...

Hey i'll take a bootleg shirt. I'll buy one from Onstad too. I'm not sitting on the fence any longer, this is the greatest story arc.

The problem is many of them are only funny if you know the title, which isn't printing on the shirt. Like the Bellyflop one.

Hey, if anyone's in San Francisco, my partner in this venture is going to be on KSFO 560 talk radio tomorrow morning.
-
Oh man a bootleg underground GOF shirt would be the greatest thing ever.
Truly a raw expression fit for wearing by the common man.
But it would have to be hell of crappy, such as would be sold by the gossipy hot dog vendor at the GOF.

My vote is for I Ride With Rodney (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=01272006). Assuming of course that C.O. doesn't do it.
-
I'll have a really bad GOF shirt up by tomorrow.
And Education.

Your Marlboro Men/Brokeback Mountain shirt had me in stitches. That is a shirt I would buy, if I had any money.
:'(

Hey it's tomorrow asshole. If you wanna compete in the marketplace you gotta fulfill your promises.
Where's my GOF t-shirt.

Both shipping immediately. Both designs are limited editions to only 25 customers, or 25 shirts, whichever comes first (it updates the limit *after* a sale, so one customer can buy 100 shirts, and then they'll corner the market on them, I guess). Special low price for TOUAMBies, too.
Enjoy!
-
The links aren't working. Is there a problem or did they sell out just that fast?
-
Hmm, they work for me, but you can go here to see the designs (http://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=24046&p=37&op=articles) and buy there.
-
Aren't bootleg shirts supposed to be cheaper?
~Paul
-
Hey, there are still production and materials costs, man. This is a designer limited edition garment, after all. I could've gone with the cheaper lightweight t-shirts, and they would be really cheap, but they also are kinda crappy.
-
Okay, with the official Achewood GOF shirts now available, the bootleg editions are going on Closeout. Now only $15.99 for either GOF or Education shirts, now through Monday.
Get 'em before they're gone! All shirts must go!
-
Hey Jough, is there any way I can order a GOF shirt and delay payment until wednesday? I am happy to give you my credit card details et. al. now, it's just that it is a debit card and won't actually have any monies in it till weds. PM me if you can help a brother out?
-
Doc, sure, I'll hook a homeboy up. You've got a PM.
-
Are the education shirts gone on monday too, or just the GOF shirts?
-
Actually, due to technical reasons, both the GOF and Education shirts will be available through Wednesday, 22 February.

Is the technical reason that they are still in stock?
~Paul
-
That seems like the most likely reason to me.
-
It is because I will tecnhically be away for two days and won't have time to remove them before sometime Wednesday night.
THE MORE YOU KNOW...

Jeezus, these avatars are getting creepy. I suggest that we all should adopt a creepy childhood avatar.
I mean just look at the jough paul conversation there, it adds a whole other level of nightmarishness. Man oh man, I may have to up the ante here.
-
Man, I dunno about this childhood-avatar thing. Basically every picture of me taken for school when I was young makes me look like I have Down Syndrome, and I'm not sure I want to sell myself as, like, TOUAMB'S Trisomic Admin.
Maybe I could use the photo I'm using for Facebook, which is relatively recent but in which I look kind of drunk. (I was happy and having a weird hair day...)

You could post it anyway. All we've ever seen of you is a glimpse from across the quad.

WAAAHH! I want Q's old avatar back!
-
WAAAHH! I want Q's old avatar back!
You're probably right. I look a bit much like a deer in headlights with this one. I'll leave the amusing childhood avatars to the masters. *humbly bows out*
-
I guess I missed it, since it's back to Milk and Cheese now.
Post a link, Q?
-
It was just my face from this photo (http://www.misterqueue.com/caesar.jpg).
Which I believe I've linked to before.

Yeah, i've seen that before. I think it's just precious. Wombat you don't think Mr Q is precious?

Uh, yeah, precious is the first word that springs to mind...
I really like the milk and cheese guys. Also I hate it when people change their avatars. Can't anything be stable and predictable in this world, dammit?
-
Pftt womby, you know I'm basically like an angel.*
Also, I don't think the board would be the same without Bobby changing his avatar ever 2.2 seconds, so be careful what you wish for.
* Where angel = sick fuck.
-
Oh yes, of course Bobby is special.
-
My avatar is from the infancy of the comic book. Does that count?

Man, Slam Bradley always wins everything. Accept no substitutes!
Anyway, I love the creeping surreality of avatar conversations, given that avatar changes are retroactive, so almost immediately the conversation is incomprehensible. It's like crazy magic.

Testimony!
On Wednesday my orange "Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball" T-shirt arrived. I wore it for the first time last night. I was wearing a sweater over it, unfortunately, because in Chicago in early March, it is cold, but the handful of people I showed it to were kind fond of it. Unlike several T's I've ordered online, usually music related, the size was accurately depicted, and the fabric high quality and heavy duty. Thanks Jough & co.! A++++++++
-
Solid.
I am happy that you are enjoying your fine quality Word Front Wares garment. We had the option to offer a lower-quality shirt that we could sell for lower prices sometimes found online, but I hate t-shirts that I can only wear 3 times and then have to throw away because they cannot survive simple wearing and washing.
Anyway, if you could send me a photo of you or some lithe, supple female wearing the shirt I would appreciate it. I would like to put up photos of people wearing the actual products to show what a "scene" there is regarding our stuff. I have a couple from a beautiful asian girl but I'll need more before it makes sense to post them online, you dig?
-
Oh my gosh...modeling...I never...but maybe...
Well, being a gentleman of gravity, I invested in the admittedly roomy XXL, so any lithe, supple female would have to be upwards of 7 feet tall in order to accurately depict the wares. Unfortunately for both of us, there are no women in my immediate social circle meeting such physical criteria that I would feel comfortable asking to do some modeling work for me, free of charge.
I'll happily take a couple of shots if the chance arises, I've only got a camera on my cell phone...but they come out pretty okay...*shrug*

I'm a nice guy. And I don't know you. This is awfully tempting, though.

It took me 3 full days to get this.
"Is he mocking me for not knowing any seven foot tall women?"
"Is he suggesting that he IS, in fact, a seven foot tall woman and would like to model my Happy Fun Ball shirt?"
Then I read it strictly in context just now and it became clear.
Well played...I now must return to my huffing of noxious chemicals.
