Here is where I make my plea for shirts sized to fit the more robust physique.

This is, of course, followed by savage mockery from people who can kiss my hairy yellow butt.

shouldn't be a problem

shouldn't be a problem

really.

6X! w00t!

Twenty more pounds and I can work from home...

So, what are these things going to run us?

I would like to take a moment to praise our monkey brother tay-hota for all of his fine work, which included an unpleasant episode with a burnt thumb.

Good Gawd-Day-um, when you create shit for monkeys to wear, it's pure gold. God bless you brother teej. This will be the only webby product I will ever buy, and I will wear it until it falls apart.

Hooray for tj!

what readymade said, big time. thanks, teej.

After all is said and done, it looks like these things are gonna run about 40 bucks per shirt (maybe a little more with name stitching). It all depends on how many people actually order one.

As I said before if someone else wants do actually organize this (money things, placing order, shipping the shirts out when they're done, etc.) please speak up.

Tay-jota is like unto a god on earth, and I would bear his man-babies if I were physically able.

Well done, cap'n!

That's some good lookn' monkey.
Mad props, tj.

no one's asked me this yet, but yes, that's where his other hand is.

Good-bye domo-kun, hello monkey. Seriously teej, that's some mighty fine artwork. I solemnly promise never to bug you again about the lack of swap cd's that you organized!. Starting now. ;)

eh, you'll get them eventually.

Now that's weird, ufez. I also swapped a domokun-based wallpaper (where domo dares!) for one of tj's cool things.

Simian serendipity!

Brilliant screen-adorner and general pick-me-up, TJ! He looks intelligent, quizzical and randy - exactly like us. Thanks, great master!

Where does one acquire this "wallpaper?"

We'd tell you, but then we'd have to kill you. And eat your heart with a nice handful of Pocky and a 40 of malt liquor.

Mr. unagi: Just hit those nice links above, whereby Stavros has to kill me and eat my heart, etc.

¤duh¤

Not today, please, not today

We can't have nice things is my new wallpaper. Thank you, tj, you magnificent bastard!

More versions in the works? Or a blank template and font name/file so that we can homegrow some similar? Because there's been significant amnounts of good taglines passed this way...

Those are cool tj. Very cool.

As I said before if someone else wants do actually organize this (money things, placing order, shipping the shirts out when they're done, etc.) please speak up.

Up! I'll do it.
(ok, what do I do?)

TJ, they grey part doesn't really count as a second color, right? So it's a 1 color screenprint?

But we need to choose a shirt style first?

Yes, these things rock to a mighty and wonderful degree as they are, but a grow-yer-own tagline version would kick the proverbial it up a proverbial notch.

It's always great when someone else does something you had it in the back of your mind that you'd try, and then they do it better than you ever would have.

Them's primo primate pictures, tj.

I want a bowling shirt. Or six.

You know I have to be different.

that's pretty fucking sweet, b-fire. did you do that?

Simian serendipity!

Indeed, Sir Wonderchicken. Indeed.

But we need to choose a shirt style first?

They're all good, but the Swingmaster just reaches out and grabs you, don't it? Black and hunter for me.

No, I didn't do it. A friend on one of my other forums put that together. Very talented gal.

Want a marshmallow?

Do they all need to be the same style and color? I imagine so. I definitely like the Swingmaster or the Loungemaster.

Can't we do a color or two? Not a full-color version, like the one above, but maybe a two-color?

I like the Retrobowler myself. (And yeah, tizzie, it does seem like grey would just be a tint of black, wouldn't it? I dunno.)

Bring on the monkeyshirts! Yay TJ!

It appears to me that we *ahem* chunky monkeys have only the choice of the Classic or the Loungemaster, and only in limited colors.

The grey/black Glow Kings are pretty frickin' spiffy.

I've Just Seen A Face, now POST!

TJ, hats off to you, great job.
I notice that the different shirt styles are made of a different material, not sure if that is a factor in all this for everyone.

I just called them. For the cheapest way; shirt, one style & color.

The girl I spoke with said;"going with differnet styles is an extra screen charge( yes does not make sense)"

Then she added if you were to go with one style and have different color shirts you may be looking at more extra charges as an extra screen may be needed if a color on your design does not show up."

Hope these extras will all makes sense. As this may help Tizzie in making ways towards the right direction in doing all of this, thanks Tiz. Excuse me as I faint I'm so dizzie..:P

the extras totally make sense. Marty (MarsCrash)used to be a screenprinter, and we talked a little about it last night.

As far as other taglines for wallpapers...
I'm not gonna do all of them, but I can throw a few more up. I'll go through the taglines and do some up in a little bit.

tj, let me know if I can help in any way (yes, that's right, monkey brothas, I use my graphic design skillz for the good of the hood, yo.)

The more colors you use the more expensive it is. But you knew that. Probably the best thing is to have a simple line design-heck, throw in one more color. If we were gonna do a huge run it would be cheaper, but then the idea is to be exclusive, right?

Not that my opinion counts since I won't be wearing anything with a cigarette and a martini. But I would (metaphorically of course) KILL for the above Bunny logo on a tshirt. *sigh*

well, b-fire, I CAN get that logo on a t-shirt for you, AND I do have a few people I need out of the picture.

Thanks to the title of this thread, I have a song from Grease 2 running through my head:

Let's bowl
Let's bowl
Let's rock-n-roll!

Which then of course morphs into Michelle Pfeiffer singing "Cool Rider."

So, whatever happened to Maxwell Caulfield, anyway? Oh, I see, a string of bad movies.

C'mon he was superb as Rafe opposite Bobcat Goldthwait in Strip Mall

Anything called a "Loungemaster" has to be good, don't it? I would go for any style, as long as it's not pink or purple. I think you all can get behind that sentiment.

Pshaw, everyone knows that the title to this thread is a quote from that cinematic masterwork, The Big Lebowski.

The longer i consider it, the more i think that the Loungemaster in black and gold (as pictured on the rather happy looking team at the top of the page) is the ticket. The gold is kinda sorta yellow, which is the color of bananas, which are the favorite of monkeys.

When they aren't having martinis, of course.

And they would go nicely with the color scheme of Crash's butt.

more wallpapers

tizzie, by gum, I think you are CORRECT! We have to look like bananas and drink like fish! Or at least look like bananas.

I vote for the very pleasing goldenrod/ebony color scheme.

eh, I was shying away from the balck shirts because they almost guarantee an extra screen to print. (but since we'll have to have white as one of the colors anyway, i guess it just don't matter.

And behold, the color yellow is an abomination in my sight.

I have to agree with God on that one...

Me too.

Personally, I don't really wear colors (with the occasional exception for green or blue). It's pretty much black & white for me.

Let's be truthful. It's pretty much just black. It makes life a lot easier.

God, you made the color, how can it be abominable? Fickle bastard.

Anyhoo, I'll wear anything, except that nasty pink or purple, so talk amongst yourselves.

Bunch of no-talent-ass-monkeys.

Dude. Seriously. What the heck are you talking about?

Face first into the clusterfuck.

Fubk me, I'm drubk!

It's like other 'blogs, only with more poop-flinging.

Do you like any of these tags, TJ?

I wear only plaid.

ok you bunch of fucking ingrates, there are a whole heap of new wallpapers.

here

and about replacing the script typeface. I decided that if I wsa gonna go lounge with the look, I should really go all out.

And when you're wearing the shirt, you should be listening to this.

And for the men.

Heh, I've got that one somewhere around here.

I'm looking, but I don't see the t-shirts that feature tj's cool new logos.

I can get a quote done here in CDN$$ if you want to save some money. I've made shirts on several occasions (as part of my job). How many do you think you'll need? And if it's a low amount, can it not be a digital job as opposed to screenprint? Then 2 or 4 colours is the same price.

Would you like me to make this even more complicated? Cause I can. Seriously.

i can do them in my apartment for almost free. but they'll probably come out crooked.

also - if we lived in a dictatorship, and I was the dictator I would have us all in hot pink classic bowlers.

"Would you like me to make this even more complicated?"

OK, give me the price, in Canadian dollars, for two-color digital prints; but when you type it, shift your fingers one key to the left on the home row -- and phrase your answer in the form of a question.

Orange. I like to wear orange.

And, the glow king shirts are boss.

ebk: we're not doing cafepress for this. I found a place on line that does bowling shirts with silkscreening (as opposed to the cafepress dye-sub process) and embroidering.

Paging Mr. Crash Davis, Mr. Crash Davis, please check your e-mail box for an important question.

"Paging Mr. Crash Davis, Mr. Crash Davis, please check your e-mail box for an important question."

Why, yes, I would like to add four inches to my penis.

You can have four of mine, I'm not using them all.

Four inches in which direction?

At least we've proven there's no shortage of funny guys around here. That hasn't solved the other shortage problem, though ...

"You can have four of mine, I'm not using them all."

[voice type = "arthur"] That would leave you with one. [/voice]

"Four inches in which direction?"

South-southwest, I think.

When the fuck is Bush going to get off his ass and send me that free Hummer he promised?

Oh, and about the shirts, I guess I'm in. They're growing on me. doesn't want tj to cry

You don't need a Hummer.

At least we've proven there's no shortage of funny guys around here.

Nor, thanks to your sterling efforts at my little MeTa thread, is there a lack there, now, if that's what you're referring to. Thanks a whole heap for making my point for me (or Matt's for him, I guess) over there, yhbc, with your amusing poem. Real helpful. I wonder why I bother, with the fucking hassles it brings me.

Or what Bluetrain and rcade said. Fuck. I give up. At least until next time I get a wild hair up my ass.

*head explodes*

Sorry. Venting completed.

...

But you do have to admit that it did provide a great tagline (for this site, not that one).

9622: We're primates, deal with it.

Awright, awright, I apologize for losing my temper with the commish.

*hugs him, in a manly fashion*

But any of yoos cross me again today, I'm comin' out swingin'!

*ahem*

let's not speak of that other place anymore, therby ruining our buzz, shall we?

*dances a jig in ruffled pantaloons while playing a kazoo and jug-band washboard to distract everyone from inclement weather*

You don't need a Hummer.

Someone's not getting a ride!

Where's the choke on this thing?

why is the posting problem so random?

I had the strangest dream last night. A big hairy chicken was humping my leg.

Whatever can it mean?

hehe

Seriously, though - I only threw that "poem" in your thread because of the Masons references that immediately preceded it. What that is, you see, is a parody of the "Stonecutters Song", as it appeared in a Simpsons episode and which was itself a parody of the Masons. That song starts off as follows:

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!

Seeing as how parody is protected speech (back me up on this, anathema), I figured I was within my rights. Sorry if I offended, big guy.

And now, I'm off to work, so you won't hear from me for the rest of the day. Ta!

green light, commish.

"And now, I'm off to work, so you won't hear from me for the rest of the day."

Whew! I thought he'd never leave!

*starts passing around a bottle*

OK, you monkeys, here's the scoop.

In view of the voluptous nature of our monkeys, our best options are:

The Classic Bowler
Black/White
White/Red

The Loungemaster
Black/Gold
Maroon/Black

They won’t be cheap. Use $55 as a guesstimate and you won’t be too unpleasantly surprised. Price depends on the number of shirts ordered, shipping charge, number of colors in the design, etc. I’ll be able to let you know a more exact figure as I get commitments.

Commitment! I’ll need money up-front from everyone who orders, which we can do through Paypal or with checks in the snail-mail. Unless we can arrange for them to ship individually, I’ll have the shirts shipped to me, then I’ll ship to you.

There is an additional charge of $4.95 per word to get your name on your shirt. I’ll need to know exactly what name to use. If you want a Suede Flock Embellishment, lemme know. They are $2.95 each.

So what we need first is a consensus on style and color. Loungemaster in Black/Gold or Maroon/Black, or Classic in Black/White or White/Red - only vote if you're gonna buy!

Shall we say end-of-day Monday for decisions?

I ♥ Tizzie.

The feeling is mutual, sweetie!

w00t! You go, tizzie. I vote for the Maroon and Black loungemaster (although I'm guessing I'm going to be in the minority).

I can PayPal you when ready.

Thanks again for the work!

I'm not voting since I can't afford a shirt, but my, my they look good.

Kudos to all involved.

Yet another product for my broke-ass self to lust after. It may be a while before I can scrape up the money. Plus I gotta get this, this, this, this, this and some of this.

Not to mention all those nagging details like rent and sustenance to put in my piehole.

I vote for black/gold loungemaster, but knowing that hep-cat monkeys think yellow is the color of "gauche," I will also vote for any other shirt. Because I'm easy.

But not cheap.

jonmc--I would hardly call what you put in your pie-hole "sustenance."

just for the record, jonmc, the old whiskey river is good stuff. for about 5 bucks at a bar here, i got a shot of it with a half pint of lager. I chose goose island (i'd link it but I'm eating lunch). It was a great combo. Plus, they called it a red-headed stranger, which will definitely earn some cool points.

Links if you want 'em concerning my above statement.

My mommy said not to put beans in my ears!
Beans in my ears! Beans in my ears!
My mommy said not to put beans in my ears!
B-E-A-N-S in my ears!

Dammit, if it's gonna be stuck in my head, you all get to share my pain...

being an unemployed bipolar, I can only drool at the merchandise.
Anybody have a job for a nervous nellie?
Didn't think so.

bunny, I just read that that's why they got rid of Ted Turner. Hey, he can afford it, but you can't. I think it's discrimination.

If my mom retires, b-fire, I'll let you know. She even works at a Church. You'd just have to move to Tulsa.

I set myself real nice on that one. bring on the onslaught.

Chalk up one more vote for the maroon-and-black Loungemaster.

In a 6X.

'Cause I like 'em loose.

And I'm huge.

Hey ufez, my mom teaches at a catholic school, maybe they should hang out and get all exalted and stuff while we go knock back some Whiskey River.

is it me, or does it look like a monkey knife fight is about to start at the top of this thread?at the top of the thread

Yeah, I knew about Ted. He must not take any meds,judging from some of his actions. That is probably why he has been so successful in the past cause a manic can outwork just about anyone till they crash.
Do ya think he would buy me a monkey shirt?

Crash, we know you were just hoping that you could get a thunderslut to crawl in there with you.

A female thunderslut anyway.

Don't they have tarantulas in Tulsa? *shudder*

look like a monkey knife fight is about to start at the top of this thread?at the top of the thread

At first I was like ok tj, the paste fumes must of drbunk you...Yes I do see it.

It gave me an idea: the next monkey shirt should have the monkey reversed like above. So in a group of folks wearing the 9622net shirts we shall see: two monkeys toasting each other.*cheers*

I know I'm late, but... two words: fucking loungemaster.

That is awesome.

I'm all about lounging.

psssst....hey jon

Hi, I'm back - did you miss me? I had to go do that "work" thing. There wasn't any drinking around here while I was gone, was there?

Anyway, I vote for the maroon/black Loungemaster as well, but for a reason I don't think anyone has thought of yet - TJ's awesome design wouldn't show up at all on the black/yellow Loungemaster, but it would look great on the maroon/black one.

Tizzie, are you keeping track of these or anything?

Way to go hero-guy Tay-Hota!

Lounge-O-Rama!

It's my birthday!

Happy Tizzie's birthday, you monkeys!

Now, back to choosing shirts.

Happy tizzie's birthday, tizzie! You don't look a day over 12.

Happy Birthday, Tizzie! In honor of your birthday I'm going to start taking belly dancing classes.

That monkey's for your birthday. Because we all need a monkey trophy for our birthday.

it's a monkey bowling trophy--outstanding! Happy Birthday Miz Tiz!

You don't look a day over 12.

Heh. That would not be good, since it is also my son's birthday, and he is 19. And I had him on my 27th birthday, so that makes me.... oh, shit.

You don't look a day over 46.

just forget that math post (above.) I am very young at heart.

But tomorrow you might.

You know I'm kidding, m'dear.

Happy birthday, thou most deceptively hip old fart!

Happiest of days, dearest tiz, O Mighty Queen of the Opposible Thumbs!

Happy birthday, tizzie! Does my heart good to know that there are other cool fortyish gals on this site-it is true that life begins at 40!Woohoo!

Donger, that is perfect, and will someday be a line in my eulogy.

As her well-respected friend dong_resin once noted, she was a most deceptively hip old fart...

Since I'm all about stealing graphics and posting them in every conceivable place on the Web, I'll see your monkey trophy and:

Hmmm...
think crash may have just made a lil' pee escape...

... yup, I wet `em.

*steps back, observes Crash's fine breakdancing, tips Kangol back*

*draws imaginary line with Gazelles on dancefloor*

what, tizzie isn't cool enough for her own birthday thread? Pitiful!

Happy Birthday anyways, tizzster.

They say it's your birthday...

....Happy Birthday Dear Tizzie...

Auguri bellissima! May your birthday be muchly AstroGlidealiscious. Or at least involve a couple of pinatas or something. Bis vivit qui bene vivit.

TJ's awesome design wouldn't show up at all on the black/yellow Loungemaster, but it would look great on the maroon/black one.

Let me get this straight, the grey logo is the logo we are using? I thought we were using the multi-color one @-

We don't hafta use the black and white one. As TJ mentioned, I was a screen printer for awhile. But before that my job title was Screen Master. Sadly, there were no ceremonial robes or cool mystic sayings. All it meant was that I was in charge of the guys who created the screens out of the artwork. So I can do that. If you want me to. 'Kay?

Oh, and Happy Birthday Tizzie! May you age gracefully like a fine wine, and not turn grayer, stinkier and fuzzier like that thing that's been in our refrigerator's vegetable bin for awhile.

Dear tizzie,

I tried very hard to make you a birthday thread, but because I am incompetant and have a third grade comprehension of all things webby, I had to delete it. But rest assured, it was disgusting, loud, obnoxious, offensive, and had a monkey in it. You'll just have to let your imagination get the better of you.

Much love on your birthday. Drink a nice wine while you age like one.

Yours in monkey-lovin' bliss,
readymade

You guys all RAWK.

*gets all sentimental*

*is too old to remember why*

*has more scotch*

Why, happy birthday, Tizzie!

I go away for a few days and you lot get all creative on me.

Nice work, TJ!

TJ, those are hysterical!

Tizzie, Happy, happy, happy! Much monkey love at ya. (And another bottle of scotch too...we still need the traditional thunderslut drunk dancing on tabletops trick.) :)

Tizz - hope it was a happy birthday ;-)

I stole this link from quonsar *waves* but here is another birthday monkey link for tizzie, since I tried to start a thread for you and failed miserably.

This one probably won't disgust everyone as much anyway, so it's all to the good.

Happy almost-not-your-birthday-anymore. You're a stone cold soul-monkey, sister!

That's what I get for not keeping up with threads....I missed tizzie's birthday!

*wails disconsolately*

Merry, boozy b-day, Tiz, and many many more!

Hey, wait, maybe I didn't miss it after all! Timestamps rock! Paaaa-rrrty!

*looks around, sheepishly*

Anyone still here other than me and readymade?

booh-ya, poultry-boy.

Happy belayed birthday, Tizzie.

Yeah, Happy Birthday kentucky woman...
