I didn’t get my shirt yet ☹ I hope if **anyrose** has my name, I get a Mets shirt. I have no interest in the NL but I have a friend who’s a Braves fan and I’d love to annoy him 🙂 ---

I sent my shirt off a week ago, but haven’t heard if it’s been received. I guess I should have said it was from the Hypno-Toad somewhere on the package. Nor have I gotten mine. So sad. ---

Still not recieved one here either, but I’m giving lots of leeway. (I sent mine out late too.) ---

Thanks, **silenus**! The famous “cube” arrived today, containing two T-shirts, one for a comics con and one for the 2003 Georgia NFL Finals (which I’m guessing doesn’t have anything to do with football – knowing a bit about **silenus**. I’m guessing the “F” is for “forensic,” but don’t know what the significance of the event was). He also sent along a little bottle of cognac and some fancy hot sauce. Many thanks, sir! And right back at ya on the “Doper friend” thought – us 53-year-olds gotta stick together, to keep the young uns off our lawns. Hugs, twicks ---

Glad it got there ok. The Georgia Nationals shirt represents the last time I worked the National Speech Tournament. It’s fun to wear and watch people try to figure out what it means. ---

I got mine from **Soul**. Three great shirts. I wore the restaurant one out to lunch, and the waitress lit up like a firefly. It turns out that that’s her favorite restaurant. ---

**Bob** , did you get mine? The USPS web site says ya did. I didn’t know we were supposed to send MULTIPLE shirts. I should read the directions more clearly… (there weren’t any directions, were there?) ---

[/QUOTE] Yes, I got it, and my thank you to you fell victim to the same streak of lazyness that kept my shirts out of the mail until last night. A UAW shirt is way funny, because in a previous life, I was a GM white collar guy. 😉 I had multiple shirts because 2 of the 3 recipients are MMPers, so I couldn’t pass them up even though the normal deal is for one. ---

OK … I got my shirt yesterday, and was prompted to finally mail mine. Mine came from Columbus, Ohio, and I can’t find the note to see who sent it. But it’s from the 50th anniversary celebration of Beth’s Cafe, which was said to be “the best 24-hour greasy spoon in all of Washington.” Very nice! Mine is heading south to Sunny Florida, and shoud be there in three days. ---

My shirt arrived as well, and I too am a lamer and lost the note that explained who sent it, but it is an extremely cool shirt from the University of Arizona Mars Lander project! MrWhatsit has tried to steal it from me already. Thanks! ---
