But I’ve met Guinistasia. She’s just a little slip of a woman. And she’s got 17K+ posts. I dinna think she can take it! ---

Perhaps the answer lies not in expansion but rather in banning more people? ---

**Spoz** has said many times that I am a hamsterette who lives on Planet Hamster. However, since neither of these are really true… I can’t help with the hamster server (over?)load. Sincerely, Trainspotter Hamsterette With Weird Font Issues ---

I would be first in line to buy a NEW Cecil book. I have them all, and fighting ignorance hasn’t become easier since 1999. He’s like the anti-Stephen King when it comes to publishing. More books! ---

I thought about buying a t-shirt or a mug, but I don’t like the design on the t-shirt, and I have more coffee mugs than I know what to do with already. ---

You know, I know we have a few artsy types lurking around here that could probably be convinced to design a new shirt or two or some more merchandise. And we have some IT types who could donate some bitchin’ servers. Etc. etc. Regardless, this topic comes up and things stay the same. ---

How about Doper action figures? **KAYKAY** should to be popular. ---

See, I’ve been thinking that we need to expand the store for quite some time. It really bothers me that the smallest size of shirt they offer is a medium. I am a small lady. A medium t-shirt is HUGE on me. I’m also not particularly fond of the design. I’m all about someone creating a t-shirt that simply has the blue and yellow SD logo on the front, with our “Fighting Ignorance” motto on the back. I think a SD mousepad would be a pretty good seller also. Variety is good. I’d also be willing to bet that bumper stickers would sell rather well, especially if some of them were printed with jokes that only our fellow Dopers would understand.
