I think I love you, Capn.

wait, is this the mechat store dodgy said he set up?
do we have competing MEH o'clocks?

posted by ethylene 18 July | 22:26

I have never sold anything on CafePress, nor have I ever bought anything from them. I cannot vouch for the quality of the product nor their scruples. Caveat emptor. YMMV

oh poop, I didn't know there was an official mecha store, if there is, I'll get rid of this.

(also, if you don't know what's going on here: http://metachat.org/index.php/2005/07/18/i_miss_dame#comments)

i'm not sure, he mentioned it in irc, was gone and then came back saying it was set up. mugs, i think.
i was looking, and there's a lot of meh out there but i don't think he made anything yet
i dunno, he's hopefully sleeping

I'm going to sleep now, hopefully when i wake up i won't be banned from #metachat anymore...and maybe I'll have a job or something...

posted by Schyler523 18 July | 22:36

Come back!!! You are totally not banned anymore, not even a little.

posted by Capn 18 July | 22:39

banned? what? why?

(oh, very cool shirt!)

No thong?

Infiltrator tricked him in to banning himself. Then we banned the infiltrator.

posted by mudpuppie 18 July | 22:43

I have setup a metachat shop but there's nothing in it yet. I thought it'd give us more creative outlets. I was hoping to get a meh clock done as the first item (if the Capn doesn't mind).

No, not at all. I've removed it from my store.

my old cafepress thing (i made bucks with it in 99-2000) : >

posted by amberglow 19 July | 08:49

I'm confused, there's nothing there.

deborah, see two comments up from yours.

I took it down since the Dee Gee is planning to do an official MeCha store with merchandise featuring the meh clock.

I just put it up because people were asking for it. I have no desire to step on potential support avenues.

For the curious, here's what it looked like

Fuck you CafePress, Fuck you and your stupid web tricks to stop people from saving images

posted by Capn 19 July | 12:05

nothing again anyone, but i'd like it to say MEH o'clock, like GMT or UTC and maybe more like the first image, Capn? bigger meh.
plus my subversive instinct demands we pick a time with meaning. like 12:34
i'm ill. i know.

posted by ethylene 19 July | 12:48

The only reason I dislike cafepress is the darn import taxes. I mean, I know that the shirts are cheap-o crappy print. The postcards are thin. The framed "art" aint too bad. But import tax after a hefty-ass shipping fee? That makes it all not worth it.

Even askme didn't know of an alternative back in the day. Maybe someone knows of one now?

posted by dabitch 19 July | 15:10

i do, i did a bit of tshirt stuff last year. i'm pretty up on the prices etc. and we have the better exchange rate now so, hey, well all chat.
i'll bring lunch

posted by ethylene 19 July | 15:46

dabs - i sympathise but this'll be cool just for starters. if things go well then maybe we'll find another solution - one that has black t-shirts.

posted by dodgygeezer 19 July | 15:58

yeah! that too! I'm wearing black until I find something darker.
