Oh. My. Goddess...this is a feminist theorists dream! Perhaps a little too literal though... could compare to Jaws... :)
terry - 06/27/08 10:53
er...vagina dentata!
terry - 06/27/08 10:52
just gotta love the vagina dente!

The scene where the guy looks down and then screams...bloody wunderbar!

I hope this movie too ends with a coyote and a stone phallus.

So Proud and Happy
Category: zombies
Our very own (e:james) has been promoted to Deputy Campaign Manager for the political campaign he's working for. I won't go into too many details in case I say the wrong thing, but definitely congratulate him on his exciting new opportunity and challenge if you see him.

Here's to you, James!
jim - 06/26/08 10:26
(e:strip) is just so google friendly that I didn't want to tie his name together with the candidate, and have (e:strip) be the first result when you search for NYS Assemblyman so-and-so. (Hey it's happened before!)

Just so that James can feel comfortable posting here on a personal level.
joshua - 06/26/08 10:07
Well done (e:james)! Any reason for the coyness about the candidate though? Just curious. I suspect I know who the candidate is anyway! :)
fellyconnelly - 06/26/08 06:35
oh i'm so proud of you!
james - 06/25/08 19:02
Thanks for posting this Jim. And thanks to everyone for your kind wishes.

See you all after the primary ^_^

First they took our shops. Then they took our restaurants. Then they took our theaters.

And now the mall is coming for our eXtreme sports.
tinypliny - 06/25/08 20:42
Yikes. There have been too many accidents with escalators... I wouldn't try that ever.
fellyconnelly - 06/25/08 07:16
ha! you always find theg reatest videos.
tiburon1724 - 06/24/08 23:00
:O looks dangerous! She could all all the way down the stairs!! SECURITY!!
drew - 06/24/08 21:52
I want to try! Do you think it works for bigger people, too?
metalpeter - 06/24/08 18:59
Lets see she is cute athletic and blond oh yeah and that is a pretty cool trick well that is until she slips and falls between the two escalaters now that would be a video of her just hanging by her boobs, kidding of course pretty cool video.

tinypliny - 06/25/08 20:44
Hahha.. we could have one that says, "No nos hacemos (e:tira)!"?? (In Comic Sans, of course).

e:strip T-Shirt
Category: meta
Paul and Everyone,

If I organized making t-shirts would anyone be interested?

Either at-cost ($12) or with a markup ($24?) that would go to Paul for ongoing costs.

They could look something like this:

Also, I hope to plan another (e:strip) dinner for July. Stay tuned! Picnic-ish something other other, probably.
metalpeter - 11/22/08 18:31
Going Christmas shopping I was thinking about how someone said that they where going to get a holiday dinner planned then I remembered that you had the idea of the shirts and I was wondering if enough people got interested and I couldn't remember what got decided or if there was a link to a place we could buy them?
tinypliny - 06/20/08 14:11
Only if it's done in Comic Sans.

HEHEHEHE

PS: I thought it was a good idea to chip in with the costs anyway, the T-Shirt would be a bonus. And yes, love the tortoise! Would be awesome in the black and fitted version. I think I shall go in with whatever style lilho recommends.
mrmike - 06/20/08 12:02
I'm with Chico and Janelle. A modest markup to pitch in with site costs. I'm in for a shirt though.
lilho - 06/20/08 10:26
i want but only if they are going to be fitted, i hate big baggy t-shirts...
jim - 06/20/08 09:27
T-Shirt clarification: you'll be able to pick your own colors, sizes, and men/women's style.

I'll set it up through SpreadShirt, which is print on demand. I'm waiting to do more until I get an order from them for another t-shirt I bought, to make sure that they're nicely done.

Since we don't have to order a bunch at once there won't be any hurry or anything getting together a bunch of money, the store could be permanently linked to from the home page.

Paul, I'd love the original vector so that I don't have to recreate it - I just copied this turtle from one of your old journals as a starting point.

Perhaps I could set up the designs, but we should just put it in your name so you get the extra $$$ without having to step through me, Paul? I don't want to be the middle man in this afterwards.
fellyconnelly - 06/20/08 07:42
i'm all over that shirt... i'll pay $20 for one. and I like that blue too!
chico - 06/20/08 07:20
I think the turtle logo is great! I'd be willing to go along with (e:janelle)'s idea of a modest mark-up to raise a few dollars to offset site costs. ($20, tops?)

Here's an idea that would increase the cost of the shirt a little but might be worth it, depending on what you think and what others think: imagine the tag cloud from the front page of the (e:strip) site on the back of the shirt. It would both give a sense of the content and diversity of topics on the site and maybe speak to the curiosity that the uninitiated might have (i.e., "what is e-strip?")

It depends on what the goal of the t-shirt is... if it's just to provide one more bond among us, that's cool, but if we want to increase traffic to the site, you might consider whetting people's appetite a little.

Is that blue intended to be the color of the shirt, or just the background field of the logo?
paul - 06/20/08 01:12
I also have the basra colored one.
paul - 06/20/08 01:12
Jim, I have the original vector for the turtle. I can get it to you.
paul - 06/20/08 00:58
I want a tee-shirt too. I freakin love it. I also think $24 is too much for a tee-shirt then again starting July 1st it will cost me $99/month to run the site and I think that is alot.
janelle - 06/19/08 21:39
I would SO love an estrip t-shirt. The cheap side of me wants them at $12. I think $24 is too much for any t-shirt, even one for a cause. Maybe $18 for a marked up t-shirt. Just my opinion.
metalpeter - 06/19/08 20:16
I admit that a shirt is a good Idea, I have thought of it in the past but only as a thought. Question does any one think that online community should be on the shirt. Two other thoughts animal wise I know there is a reason for the turtle but animal wise I'm into Dragons and Tigers but maybe a Buffalo would be cool also. I might be interested in a shirt I'm sure I would get one of course before I commit I would want to see what it would look like for sure before committing money.
boxerboi - 06/19/08 20:10
i'd buy one!
