SoF collectible memorabilia...

...marketing and junk.
OK , I forgot to mention. Anybody in my family, or for that matter any random Tom, Dick, or Harry that happens to read this, can order a real authentic satisfaction guaranteed Ship of Fools t-shirt now. I'm sorry that I can't afford to just get everybody one, but I'm a down and out college student.
They're gray (high quality cotton mixed with other junk) with the SoF logo on the back and the words "Ship of Fools" on (I believe) the left breast.
If you let me know by this Friday that you want one (and what size you want) I can set you up for the stunningly low price of $12 a piece. I know a guy. If you wait you can still get one but it'll run ya $15, and you're kinda taking a chance on the whole size thing.
I do plan to get mom and Shiloh each one (don't tell them), and if anybody else would like that for a Christmas/birthday gift then by all means let me know right away. It'll make my holiday shopping all that much easier!
So anyway, spread the news and get em while they're hot!

Just was wondering...who was the 3rd Profesional male you kissed? Pap and Drake...that's 2, Steve doesn't count as prof. And you didn't see Scott right? Who was this lucky y chromosome?

I never said I kissed any "professional" males. Geez hun, read the posts more carefully. And if a word is colored differently click on it, cause that usaully means that it's linked to the punch line.
That particular word (kisses) was linked to the Hershey's Kiss site. Because I gave Kisses(TM) to three guys in my CGT lab.
And I've never kissed Steve! He should be so lucky. Hehehe
Or Scott for that matter.

I was refering to your brother Steve and Scott as in French.as to reading.... so my glasses aren't on my face today, I couldn't see to look for them hehe. I think they're on the table, as I take them off when I'm holding Davis so I won't scratch him. I was ASSUMING that they "kisses" seeing as how it was UNcapitalized were of the peck on the cheek species.

Why did the guys design the shirts for SOF with right breast decor? Why not across the back? Males do enough of staring and conversing with "them" ,mine (Edna and Verna) w/o any thing to acually read on there! And it can't be cause I dress to show those off, as I don't, my carefully honed geek/grandma/nerd image is still rigid. Last week had a prof. cease his normal wanderings, where he generally faces the the front, away from us, to stand front-side o'me, lecturing TO my chest A good 4 ft below his eye level, talk about embarrasing! He continued to point out items on the screen, but didn't actually look at it or wave about his pointer on the words whilst reading them as is his normal habit, not just stared, or maybe he has x-ray vision and was sizing up my potential as a stomach/lung/heart donor. Anyway...
Why the right stead of the left? I believe it was the right that the ancient Greeks thought fashionable to bare- interestingly it is slighly smaller in most women, but more symetrical.

It's not directly on your breast darling. Tis simply a descriptive word. Such as "left breast pocket". It is more on the shoulder/chest. And the words are not on the back because the big logo is on the back.

Oh and Christine, I would have just stared back at his crotch. Perhaps licked your lips a bit. Winked at other students. He eventually would have gotten embarrased enough to put his eyes elsewhere.

To be honest... the number of females in the SoF is small. Growing, but small. I doubt drawing attention to one's boob crossed their mind at all when designing the shirt. And if it did, they probably weren't bothered by that at all. :) I don't think it really makes that big of a difference anyway... isn't stopping me from getting a shirt!

PS-- renee, I like your advice. :)

I didn't mean to imply that the guys were making a decition to marginalize the XX persons,just that they are unaware of the problematicly natured issue it poses to us. It is sweet to be around men who will actually talk to you and not "the girls", guys who can see you as an intellectual equal etc. which from what I've heard, SOF males are strangly adept at. Geek/Nerd prototypes generally are much, much better people to socialize with .

Oh, as the the prof. I buttoned my jacket up, and closed the collar (as if cold, or fearing molestation) which seemed to work.
The problem with your "solution" Nay, is that he would have no doubt taken it as a real come hither, his ego enflating even more. After all it is me... and every thing that can go wrong...... well you know.
