Small entertainments

As longtime readers of this journal know, I work for MSN Tech & Gadgets. One of the perks of working as an editor over the years is that occasionally I receive swag as a collateral benefit. Well, I'm working on a project that requires I work with CafePress. Although all I needed from them were a set of high-res product images, the PR person was extremely aggressive about wanting to send me product samples. On her third offer, I finally said, "Sure, send me stuff." She asked me for specific requests, which I made, and then, as it turned out, she sent me some other stuff as well. Today, I received a package containing two messenger bags, a notebook and ... a doggy t-shirt that says "I ♥ internet shopping".

This strikes me, for some reason, to be absolutely hilarious.

Maybe I need to get out a little more.

Which reminds me - I really need to get that "Catalog This!" shirt with the antelope on it from them.

I know what the icon is supposed to indicate.

It mostly reminds me of a very fat cat that now has something big in it's mouth that's trying really hard to get out.

Think you can stuff Merlin into the T-shirt for a photo op without losing a hand?

Merlin more likely than Spanky, that's for sure!

Cafe press has some great doggy shirts...my mom just sent Bess a Barack Obama one.

Also, every single time you use that icon it makes me giggle!

Doggy t-shirt! Will you attempt to put it on one of the cats?

I might try it on Merlin. Spanky wouldn't stand for it and I probably wouldn't survive the encounter.

I've been planning to make a set of mugs with medieval maps of Europe on them for a group of friends who would find that interesting. I just need to get the right graphics to upload, and decide whether to use Cafe Press, Zazzle, or find another custom product site.
