Do _real_ charter members get any special priviledges, or do-dads? I’ve been sharing my appreciable wit and wisdom almost since the inception of these boards, as have many others. I suscribed on the first day subscriptions opened. So I got a special deal. So what. I wanna t-shirt. Maybe a coffee mug. Peace, mangeorge ---

It’s 4.95. $4.95 doesn’t buy a souvenir cup at Six Flags, let alone a t-shirt. ---

OK, **mangeorge** , as a Special Deal, a one-time offer, just for you… I have discussed with our technical specialists, and they’ve set up a special computer link: [Special Deal for T-shirts and Mugs for Charter Members](https://securesite.chireader.com/cgi-bin/dopestore/buystuff.bat). If you click on this link, you will have the special opportunity to obtain t-shirts and mugs at a special low price (plus shipping and handling.) OK? ---

I’d buy a teeshirt, but I don’t like the bag-headed guy smacking somebody. I’d like to see some of Slug Signorino’s other pictures available. There’s a place called Ca[CafePress.com](http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/) that will let you post any design for free, and if they sell a shirt you get a cut. Beats the investment stocking your own. And you could offer dozens of Slug’s images. ---

While I love Unca Cece, I can’t stand Slug’s artwork (I will grant you that it adds that certain _je ne se pas_ to the columns but I don’t want to look at it) Can we add a t-shirt(doffee mug, etc) with “SDMB” or “Straight Dope” like the logo on the top of the MB pages? I’d buy one of those. ---
