Dear Correspondents:

We are certainly unstupid enough to not sue ourselves. That bastard Bergman will pay, however. And as for the others ,,,, uh, Palin and .... uh, Cleese, I think the other guy's name is ... yeah, Phil Cleese. I'll get them too. Or my corporation will.

Seriously, such as it is, Brian has started a wonderful quest here and it's fun hearing all your suggestions, y'all. We seem to be definitely moving toward selling some new T-shirts.. Is there a strong feeling from anyone as to the virtues of White on Black or Black on White? I'm assuming we shouldn't even bother with printing smalls, eh? I'm betting we all would like good quality cotton extra larges. Thoughts? The initial run will be as simple as possible because we are poor as mice in a church these days. I'm hoping all the suggestions won't disappear before I can make a master list, unless someone Out There will make that compilation. And if that person doesn't, I'll sue him. No, better yet, I'll get Bergman to sue him. Bergman will do anything I say these days.

And as to new slogans .... Hmmmm ... let me look at the horrible pile of notes on slips of paper that stacks up next to my computer ...

ahhh .... how about: (ok, this isn't new, exactly)

MY CATBOX IS THE ENTRANCE INTO THE OTHER WORLD

Or:

THE MUSEUM OF WOODPECKING

Or:

NICK DANGER, THIRD EYE
WHEN TWO EYES AREN'T ENOUGH
or
WHEN FOUR EYES IS ONE TOO MANY
or ...

If you include two sleeves for my arms and one small hole for my
pinhead,
I'm in favor of this double pleated extra thick soft woven virgin
cotton T-shirts with tiny-tiny lettering in the
language of Firesignian.

I am XXXL, which nobody will ever get for me no matter what, so I just pretty
much need to ask if you can notify me before printing--I will fedex blank t's
and pay full price besides.

Black T's--white lettering

White on Black, definitely. Black t-shirt good, white t-shirt bad.

Not if you live in Florida where it's 100 f*cking degrees all the
f*cking time it isn't. White shirts are the only thing that won't
cause heat stroke.

Thank you and now back to your regularly scheduled newsgroup which is
already in progress.

Ah, Florida, where the days are sweltering and the nights are merely
wilting. (Hmm, we need a new word, "wiltering".) I was born and
raised there, Sol help me bog. I know you can step out of absolutely
frigid air conditioning and be soaked through with sweat in 2
minutes. At least the evaporation helps prevent heat stroke; or it
would if the humidity wasn't so high that nothing ever actually
evaporates.

Maybe you should do what I did and get the f*ck out of there!

I would truly love to, but $$$, you know.

Caption: "The Only President of the United States Who Was Never
President of the United States." - Firesign Theatre

Enlarged green bust of Ben Franklin taken from U.S. $100 bill.
Green looks so fine on a black t-shirt. White fonts for caption.

Many U.S. Presidents were XXXL.

Like Chester Alan Arthur.

BTW, how often do you see a Post-Impressionist portrait of the 21st
U.S. President? <http://www.neofuturists.org/hop/arthur.htm>
Looking at this portrait, I can't help but wonder if its creator is
a FST fan.
