SDMB T-Shirt Exchange

venusprobe, heraldgwena – you’re both On The List.

owlstretchingtime – check your email.

Hm, we seem to have gotten everyone who’s interested. I’m going to move the deadline up to Friday, April 22nd so I can work on the lists next weekend.

Would the participating Dopers post what kind of t-shirts they are interested in? I have many themes to choose from - I’m afraid that Mr. SCL and I are “get a t-shirt everywhere we go” people and I never throw wearable t-shirts away.

Humph. That puts me in mind of another thread…

Excellent idea, Snakescatlady! A lot of people mentioned in their emails to me that they were hoping for something distinctive to the sender’s area – go ahead and post that preference here, or if you definitely are or definitely aren’t a sports fan, etc.

The one I’m planning to send out is from a local colonial-era inn that’s now a brew-pub/restaurant – a nice T-shirt, but it has a big ol’ quote about beer on the back (not the “proof that god loves us” one, but something similar) – and I’m a recovering alcoholic. Never worn it, never will. So if any of the XL folks definitely DON’T want a shirt about beer, post here, and I’ll make sure I don’t assign myself to you.

What I’d like – your town name or a local business, or if you’re a college kid, your college. If you’re in a group with its own T-shirts (performing group or club or whatever), that would be neat. I love flamingos, so if you’ve got a vacation souvenir with a flamingo on it, that would be super cool too. I’m not a big sports person, though, so major-league stuff wouldn’t be too special – but if you’ve got a funky minor-league team, I’d go for that. Or anything!

Important note – if you haven’t gotten your confirming email, let me know – we need to find a way around your spam blockers now. Either provide me with a second address, or tell me to try again from my main email, which is an msn account – I know some servers single out yahoo as probable spam. I will need to be able to email you, though, to get you your person’s name and address.

Assuming I get a tea-dodger to swap with can I ask that I don’t get anything related to American sport (The horror! The horror!) but anything else would be fine.

This looks like fun. I want to play!

…and I have sent you an email with my information, twickster. I hope you got it. If you didn’t, please post to that effect. I know email is finicky sometimes. :smiley:

You’re On The List, othersider – and I sent the confirmation email.

I want to! I will send the email, pronto!

I would love a “foreign” one–and don’t mind paying the shipping costs.

Adult medium here.

Thanks, twickster for doing this!

Oh, I am so in.

eleanorrigby, ace309 – you’re On The List.

y’know, you’ve just guaranteed yourself a " Truck Pull" or Nascar shirt. Heh. Hell, you just might be carpetbombed with " These Colors Don’t Run" shirts. or the horror of them all, A Detroit Lions shirt. Eeek. Don’t worry, it is not from me. My standards are low, but not that low.

Bolding mine, missy-girl. And I for one resent that remark as it is completely and bold-facedly correct and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it! :mad: :wink:

I could always send a Tigers shirt. They suck on a much grander scale; I’ve been know to take homework to their games to have something to keep me occupied.
I assumed we’re just sending something from the wardrobe we already have, right? To sort of get a flavor of the people with whom we’re exchanging? 'Cause I don’t want anyone to go to any extra trouble or expense for me; I just want a clean and interesting shirt. Yes, that means no blood. shrug Girl’s gotta have her standards after all.

Yeah, my original vision for this was that we exchange out of our own closets. A couple of people are planning to buy, though – and some of us may have more than one possible.

I have one that somebody will loooooooove - it’s my favorite t-shirt, but luckily I bought a couple cause I loved them so much!

Count me in. I’ve got a large shirt still in the original packaging that someone out there will enjoy. Maybe.

All I ask is that I don’t get the ‘F.B.I.- Female Body Inspector’ shirt.

Hopefully my info is in your inbox, twickster.

I have a ton of t-shirts. Perhaps whoever gets my name might tell me what sort of t-shirt they’d like. :smiley:

I recognise these as english words, so why do they make no sense to me.

I’ll send a nice Cricket T-shirt if you keep this up!

Now what in the world would you want that for? :confused: :wink:

Am I too late?

I am in Bangkok and I can buy any size shirt easily on the street.

We have really vulgar cheesy shirts (ie porn olympics) which will be embarassing for me to even purchase but I’ll sacrifice a bit of dignity on this.

We also have a few political shirts that are anti-Bush, some also vulgar

and we have the famous “Engrish” ones Asia is known for.

Of course we have shirts in Thai as well.

I’ll take a Medium (and if I can be picky…a NYC themed one)
