Debutante/Question about Tori Shirts
THOMAS SHEILA MARIE
look and the massive social havok I'll wreak if I post to a newsgroup
and make like an idiot. I only WISH!! Perhaps it would deter the truly
lame...
At any rate, undaunted, I forge ahead. Hi MTB. Hi Greghewritesletters.
Yeah, I'm laying it on the line and actually making a post here.
For the masses who don't know me (and I do mean masses), I've been
reading rmta for almost a year through a gate to a smaller BBS network,
and for some reason can read and e-mail but not post. So now that I've
gotten my internet account at school working, I suppose it's time to
actually become a participant. Now if I could only figure out how the
threading works on this particular setup, so I didn't have to pick
through 970 messages to find the recent stuff.. <G> So if anybody
replies to this thread, and it takes me forever to respond, I'm probably
pummeling my monitor trying to dislodge this thread from the murk.
In ActualToriContent, I wanted to know if anything ever happened with the
proposed T-shirt???? 'Cos I would of course get one if a decision has
been reached.... If not, can we try to come to some sort of consensus
(perhaps a feat of monumental proportions these days, but one never
knows...) that'd be very nifty.
Not that the above provided great insight into the World o'Tori...
As far as introductory thingies, I'm getting my MA in Theatre at
UC-Boulder (hence the .edu), and writing my thesis on Annie Sprinkle,
performance artist and porn star (yeah, I'm a feminst, to become
topic-relevant for a moment). I've seen Tori 3 times live, and I have I
think 15 CDs at last count, plus 2 shirts, the infamous UTP tour
necklace, and a "hobby" BBS conveniently called Cloud on My Tongue.
Oh, how I would love to ramble on for hours about myself... Alas, dinner
calls, and I have to go whip up some wild-mushrooms-and-pasta before
trekking off to some dang rehearsal. Which I have to be at 'cos I'm the
director. Bleah.
Taking the liberty of sending out general higs and blackberry smaes on my
first post...

Hmm. Must have been nowhere fast (where IS she, anyway?), 'cause I know
*I* didn't tell you to stay away if you value your sanity. I think
you know by now why I would NEVER say that (I want everyone to be nuts
like me).

Hiya Elusis! Hey folks, this is that Elusis person (whose gender I got a
little mixed up at one time) I've been sorta working hard (when I thought
about it) to get to a good gateway so she could post on her BBS and get
the message out. Ah well, she found an alternate method. So here is a
hig and a box of smaes (and we know how rarely I give up both) and a
certificate verifying that the great Internet God(dess) has smiled upon
you by allowing you into rmt-a to post at last! Ah, and what the heck,
you are the new RMT-A PERSON OF THE WEEK for your many long months of
patience and effort in your attempts at getting two-way transmissions
going with rmt-a, and succeeding because you out-waited the mailer daemons.

Oh dear. We can't have you hurting yourself... you just got here. Tell
us what reader you're using, and someone will be along to help you

So glad you asked. I've been wondering that meself :)
Greghewritesletters? What's the status report?

More insight than the Darrien Wars have given us of late. Welcome,

It has not faded away yet. I am still interested in
organizing it. The original posting didn't receive
very much interest. I think that's because it was
during the time when AudreyMoo was at the height of
her prolific output and my posting got lost amidst all
her stuff. Can we please keep THIS thread on-topic?
Perhaps we can disicuss the design now and then Rantz
can get to work on it. And then I'll collect money
and get them printed in January? It'd be nice to have
them done sooner but this is not a good time of year
for many people what with end of semester, Winter break,
and the general holiday madness.
So, I hereby propose a thread where we disscuss the
tee-shirt design. I, for one, vote NOT to put names
and pictures of "regulars". This is a shirt for all
r.m.t-a readers, both posters and lurkers alike. All
comments, suggestions, ideas are welcome!

I agree with Greg that we shouldn't put pictures of the posters here on the
shirt. It seems too exclusionary. I had an idea...I don't know if it
would work, though. I was thinking of having a collage of Tori pictures on
the front, maybe arranged in a cross pattern. On the back, it would say
"The Church Of Tori-
The One True Faith...
Come and be baptised in the holy Hi-C!
rec.music.tori-amos"
Something like that, anyway...is this doable? Are we allowed to have
pictures of Tori herself? Do we even want that? Am I a three-headed
chipmunk?

i agree with you. the shirt should be inclusive, and we'd be bound to
have to leave some people out, especially lurkers. i think we should
have a quote from tori somewhere on the shirt, and obviously have the
name of the ng on it somewhere. this will come in handy when tori tours
again for us to find eachother at concerts. :) hey, it's helped people

one because some other NINnies were there in their heater shirts.

In order:
Could be, but may be very expensive
Good point, might be a licensing problem, if anyone would care
Why on earth would we want a picture of Tori? :)
Yes.

Are we going to have a pcture of Tori on it? That would be nice. Maybe
we should vote on what color it's going to be (probably white). When the idea
of this shirt first came up I pictured it saying RMT-A in red letters on the
back of it. Then there would be something underneath that (I'm not sure what).
Thanks,
Charlie

um, i also don't think we should do a t-shirt with pix of regulars. it's
kinda elitist. cause the group *is* for lurkers, too.
and i think we should come up with a nifty saying.
like i live in teh outdoor house here on campus and this guy (he's real
nifty) though up the quote that's gonna go on the t-shirt. it says,
"outdoor house. where the women are strond and the men are good
looking." purty nifty if you ask me. :)

strong. i meant strong.

There's an idea: make the shirts available on 1/23/96!

I agree, for the same reason I don't mention any names in my Survival
Guide (btw, I'm always eager to her suggestions for modifications to
that, but put 'em in a different thred for now). Since we insist we are
not a clique, we should practice what we preach.
For ideas, though, I'd be interested in knowing whether Rantz had any in
mind. Since he's going to be the designer, he may already be thinking of
something. Since many of us are on student budcgets, we may want to keep
only a few colors in it rather than make it a four-color design. That
will keep cost and value down.
And to revive an earlier idea, I'd like to work out a way for this to
benefit RAINN, maybe finding a way to sell them at the shows on the
tour. Dunno what sort of arangement that would require in terms of
getting approval or whatever... may not be worth the trouble.

Bandit...buddy...I was kidding. I know it wouldn't work (I get enough
strange looks about my "Bitchin" shirt...small chest...it isn't usually all
visible...) but it would be great. I like the "intelligent geeks" idea,
maybe coupled with Tori's quote about being "queen of the nerds."

Nope, just some stupid file that prints out when you reset your
newsreader-thingy. And every time I type F to post (F to post? Who
thought this up??) it warns me that this post will go out to thousands of
computers and cost big bucks to the net to send, so am I SURE I want to
do this... blah blah.

I'm using trn. I think I have the major commands down, but the threading
this is still sticky.... I'm using the spacebar mostly. And figuring

I'll look through my files and see what strikes me <whap>. Something
from a B-side would be awesome. Perhaps also her quote about
"intelligent geeks"?

Oh, I vote for black. You can't wear colored bras under white, and
sometimes that's the only kind I have clean (like you all wanted to know
this...) But I like the rmta in red idea. :>
I vote for one of her drawings from the UTP songbook, if there's room.

Well, not every night and never in large doses. I've given up drinking
coke (I never liked coffee anyway) just so I can have chocolate from time
to time without getting headaches or stomach problems (as caffeine tends
to do to me). By the way, a great tip for all of you out there. Stop
buying those hot chocolate packets! Instead, do this:
Get a package of semi-sweet chips (or bits, or cut up a bittersweet
candybar).
Add desired amount (a handful, really) to one cup of milk (tastes great
in 1% fat milk). Whisk for a minute.
Microwave on MEDIUM HEAT for one and a half minutes.
Whisk for one minute again.
Microwave on MEDIUM HEAT for one and a half minute or until done.
Tastes like gourmet chocolate. Add whipped cream or marshmallows, spices
(cinnamon or nutmeg), air cookies, or your favorite liquer if you wish.
Save money, have first class hot chocolate with no fuss, and read rmta.
What could be better? (Unfortunately, at my father's office there's no
microwave I can use near by. :( )

Just wondering, MTB....I'm a diabetic *and* a vegan (i don't eat meat,
poultry, or dairy) ...Hi-C is quite high in sugar, and hot chocolate is
high in dairy and sugar....so what do *I* get? (:

Very good point...Obviously, the name of the ng has got to be there...I
don't think names are appropriate for the same reason *unless* we have a
big thread asking for people's names/entries for the shirt...

Obscure is always good...How about "I live for the nerd scene," or "All
the angels, and all the wizards black and white?"
Well, I can prolly think of something way better than that...but hey...I
just got my hair cut so gimme a break...

Actually, now that you mention a picture, I've got a good idea:
First, check out the official rmta homepage
(http://supernova.uwindsor.ca/staff/caira/rmta.html) and look at the new
graphic that Larry O'Toole made. It's quite wonderful, and if it
were modified for the shirt, I think it would look splendid! What do you
all think?

Just thought of a couple good quotes for the shirt:
"butterflies don't belong in nets"
"maybe i'm the horizon you run to"

BACK. Lettering in quotes saying "What in the hell does it have to do

Yeah, Internet is devious like that. Soon enough, you'll find yourself

discover that you can set up a Web page on your account and find out how
easy HTML is, especially with a good editor, your BBS will fall woefully

Speaking of WWIV, are you still on my WWIVLink music sub (One Man's

Well no offense to Larry (because he IS very talented and I love 'im
dearly) but if I'm doing the design, if you guys WANT me to, then, I'M
going to do the desing, call me a petty artist, but it's been a bad
season.
I've put off mentioning this but, what the hey.
They Crow CD ROM got canned, while we were in full production. So, I
actually have the TIME to do it.
Anyway, not to sound egocentric and all. If you guys (and gals) would
rather have something else, I'll defer.

Good one! I like it. But what will the rest of the front be? I kinda
like the adaptation of the cover of LE, with Tori in a computer monitor
instead of a box, but Cindy may not like that without getting a cut,
would she?

I do want you to design the shirt, Rantz, and I know
you'll do something really cool. However, out of
principle I prefer that everybody has a say in the
design rather than you just going off and doing it all.
That's the great thing about this group and one of the
main reasons for the shirt - the sense of community
that we all have. As such, I think that the community
should design the shirt as well. Just my two cents.

An argument could be made for input from the community as far as content, but I
think in THIS community Rantz is the artist, and I have enough confidence in him
to creatively interpret what this group is all about ALL BY HIMSELF.
It might be more appropriate to ask him to offer a couple of designs, put them up
on his or Pete's site, and then let rmta'rs choose.
Artists have to be allowed to discover themselves for better or worse. When they
are asked to conform to what someone else thinks is popular or marketable, they
end up with lofty red hair, skin-tight leather snake pants, and thigh-high boots.
We don't want that to happen to anyone here...

I've arrived home from a five-day trip to San Francisco, and so far I've
read my WWIV mail, gazed at my woeful dearth of Net mail, and come
straight here.

perhaps subscribing to Compuserve (or Delphi or WELL? Thoughts?) for tax
purposes -- for my job, ya know. Once I have graphical browser

someone she went to school with four years ago showed up in school today
(i moved and then last year i think he switcjed schools and then i
moved back and now hes back). plus im really impressed cos he seems to
be the only person i know who has managed to get a reputation (no, not
that kind of reputation) as bad as ive had and who seems to be able to
manage a level of unpopularuty equaled only to my own. plus im pretty

absofuckinglutely. if adults want to run around thinking everyone
younger than them is a beavis and butthead clone, there's nothing we can
do about it. fuck 'em, right? they're gonna think it anyway. might as
well disturb them further. i think the word fuck should be featured
prominently on the shirt.

Kay, here's the deal... we break into their houses, tie down the entire

watch Tony Little and Richard Simmons commercials... if it don't work, we
break out JoJo's Psychic Allience and Sally Struthers!

Since I haven't been on RMTA for months now, I thought it would be wise to

A potentially good idea, but I'm afraid that such a list would be
impossible to compile, and people would surely be left out, and everything
would suck.

You have to realize, Jenny, Sheila's from Colorado. :) I remember a
couple of years ago, when I was in Fort Collins, I was looking for a
couple of movies to rent, and Blockbuster was running its promos,
censored. (Promos, censored. Have you ever heard of that?) They were
advertising "Sister Act." Here's what they censored.
Whoopi telling the Mother Superior: It's going to be [bleep]. . .
Mother Superior: Tell me about it.
(Whoopi and the Sisters talking about singing)
Sister 1: It's better than ice cream
Sister 2: It's better than (I forget the line)
Whoopi: It's better than [bleep] . . . or so I heard.
Now how lame can you get? I heard a couple of five-year olds laughing at
that advertisement. But you see. We're being "protected." That's why
MTV's Sex documentaries, even shown late at night, usually happen at a
time where the cable of that area somehow breaks down and becomes
scrambled (and only on that channel). Or the cable network decides to
preempt parts of the documentary with local commercials. It happened on
CNN once, too, when Jane Fonda was being interviewed. Ever notice that,
Robert? I did call and complain to a taped machine once. Nothing ever
came of it, of course. And they always told me that they can't carry
Comedy Central because they can only carry a certain number of channels
or whatever. Of course, this is a state that preempts prime time
television for religious shows (most often Billy Graham). Have they
switched the network stations, yet, by the way? :) That must be
confusing!

Actually, I *do* want Rantz to design the shirt. I've
seen newsgroups and mailing lists try to design shirts
and the thread drags on forever and nothing gets done.
There are times and places for the democratic process
and tee-shirt designing isn't one of them. :)
> but I think in THIS community Rantz is the artist,
I am sure there are others in this newsgroup who would
consider themselves artists as well. Perhaps they
haven't enjoyed the success of Rantz but does that make
their artistic opinions any less valid? My objection
is to being told (perhaps not in so many words) "you're
not an artist therefore your opinion doesn't count".
We don't all get a say in OUR shirt?! Of course if
anybody doesn't like it then they don't have to buy it.
But I know others would also like to have a little more
creative input. Look at the threads we've had here,
people are contributing good ideas. However, see the
previous paragraph.
> Artists have to be allowed to discover themselves for better or worse.
With all due respect, the intent of this is not for
some artist to discover him or herself. Rather, it
is to produce a tee-shirt that we ALL like and enjoy.
In any event, the feeling I've received (non-posting)
is that others agree but nobody wants to offend Rantz.
But like I said previously, I know Rantz will do
something good and at least it will get done so the
point is moot.

Well, not FROM Colorado. I'm techinically FROM Indiana, though now that
I have Colorado residency, it's not something I like to admit. <G>
But, not to give the impression that I'm some kind of Church Lady,
language itself doesn't bother me. Just, with being a graduate student
and a sort of adult-by-default since I pay all my own bills, and being
the youngest grad student in my department (22) and incredibly young to
pretend to be qualified for university teaching, <pant pant>, there are
times that I want to be "alternative" or whatever without being
"childish". And a lot of people think swearing is childish. I'm lucky
enough to be in a field where I might actually get to wear the shirt to a
job interview one of these days. <G>

Um..... no. I kinda mean how they think we're all stupid, mono-syllabic
ingrates who can't read, write, spell, or balance our checkbooks, and
plan on making careers out of McDonald's jobs. Never mind that they've
broken up all the living wage jobs with benefits into non-benefit,
part-time temp jobs for less than half the hourly wage of the original
while they kill of our Earned Income Tax Credit and buy up all the
available housing so they can rent it to us at 500% of its actual worth.

Okay... you've got a Tori shirt, and you want to put FUCK on it... uhm, could
you give me a design or outlay of what exactly it's going to be about? Tori
and fuck just don't seem to go hand in hand with me... I've only heard her
say it a few times. It's not really synonymous with her now is it...

Well, if they have chocolate chips in them, they're not really granola
bars. They're part of the chocolate food group.

I should clarify that. I was pressed for time (IO has unlimited time,
but the freenet account I use to reach it has an hour limit and I had
just gotten the 1 minute warning) when I wrote that. I'm one of those
irritatig smokers who can pick up and stop at any time. I can go weeks
without a cigarette, smoke a pack, and then not have another cig for
weeks. More addicted smokers hate me for that. I do smoke when out
bar-hopping, since as you'll find out in a few years, cigarettes had
while drinking do not count. But when that pack runs out, I don't have
another til the next rip. Occasionally, when my chainsmoking roommate is
in, I'll bum from him, but only becaus I had never been able to handle
second-had smoke... I much prefer it first-hand. :)
So at the moment, I'm not smoking, but tomorrow in Pool Night, and that
means time for Jack and Gingers, and a pack of Camel lights.

HA! You may be the avatar of murder, but I'm the master of retribution
and mental torture. Which comes before the murder... therefore the
correct sequential order.

youll have to excuse me here, os i could be comepletely wrong but from
this and another post (the one sayung you were younger than everyone you
work with) i sort of got the impression that youre trying to prove
oyurself to these people and i sort of want to ask why? i mean adults
that are all critical and think werre all childish and stuf really dont
deserve to have any effort made for them. sorry, but i hate those kind
of adults that think that just because theyre adults they know it all.
they piss me off and theyre the kind of people i enjoy pissing off. oh
well, sorry if this was a shitty post.

Actually, I'd like to thank ALL of you who have given support through
this. I have spent the last six months working 12-18 hours a day on this
and then to have it canned... I have TRIED to keep optimistic, but it has
been hard to say the least.
I guess what I'm saying is, it's nice to know people still exist that give
a shit. Thank you all!

It's not easy to work in groups when you're omnipotent, I agree...but I
think that a little bit of it (ie: the basic idea) should be generally
agreed upon by the people who will be purchasing the shirt.

Ya, either that or have a big picture of Audry II on the back...(;
Seriously, I think this point has already been discussed...and we decided
that it would be kind of crappy to do this in case someone was left out
and/or didn't want to be part of it...
Don't get me wrong, I think it would be ultra-cool, but it may not be
that easy to do.

Or at least the quote should be decided upon by us... here's my suggestion...
In the thank yous on the back of the booklet of UtP, Tori says "Apple
COmputers it's Bitchin what these things can do"... so why don't we just
hack it a bit and have our quote say: Computers...it's Bitchin what
these things can do.
ANd then have r.m.t-a. or somethin' as the attribution... I'm sure noone
would mind....

Not at all. Like Paul Ely said, "Unix acts like your bothering it all

Five days? That reminds me. It used to be the Murpohy's Law of Sysoping
that any time you leave home for more than a day, you will come home to
discover that your BBS crashed 10 munites after you left. Used to happen
to me and Deanna all the time. But now that hardware has gotten more
reliable and Wayne's designed the software to be more crashproof (or at
least not lock up so hard PhoneV4 won't reboot it), I've discovered that
doesn't happen as much. I was gone 4 and a half days over thanksgiving
and came back to find all still operating. Whoa....

A Mac? A MAC?? HERETIC! You better keep the PC for WWIV. The Mac
version of WWIV 4.2x hasn't materialized yet... :) If Internet is your
primary concern, I recommend finding a local Intrnet Service Provider.
Browsing the Web is generally faster on those.

I'll be waiting... Deanna's done a good job reviving the conversation
there... she my best friend, but she doesn't like Tori. Ah well. I
think Oz disses Tori just to watch me squirm...

Define "adults" and "people our age" :) Being 32, some would consider
that "adult", and being a member of this ng and friends with so many, I
sorta see meself as "people our age".
