OH JOHN RINGO NO: the T-shirt is here

That's right. They're here. GET 'EM NOW.

These shirts are absolutely dandy, folks. The artist/designer is the awesome vito_excalibur, and when her email hit my inbox I went from zero to happy in about a tenth of a second. Look at this:

Want a better squint at that design? Here you go.

People, that is *beautiful.* You may now wear, on your chest, a depiction of the immortal scene in GHOST in which Mike's plans to engage in kinky BDSM/slavery scenes with nubile coeds Courtney and Pam are thoroughly discussed among Mike, the girls, *and the girls' moms.* From left to right: Abigail, Courtney's mother, discusses unconventional uses for gardening displays; our hero, Mike Harmon, is a smug bastard who's about to get laid left, right, and center (again); and Courtney and Pam recoil in utter horror as they find themselves learning more about their parents' sex lives than anyone should ever know. And, of course, emblazoned across the top: OH JOHN RINGO NO. Short-sleeved shirts are in dark red and navy blue; long-sleeve, women's cuts, and plus sizes are in black, because that's about all we're offered. This may be a limited edition, so if you're interested, order now.

Proceeds from the shirts benefit the Helen Bamber Foundation -- special thanks to angevin2 for mentioning this charity in comments to the original post, and to John Ringo for giving the thumbs-up to the project and the charity. The donation(s) will be made in the name of Captain Tamara Long, USAF (1979-2003) -- John Ringo, and his readers, will know why.

Please use comments to tell vito_excalibur that she is awesome.

The fact that they come in maternity sizes is wrong on so many levels.

Thanks for the order! I'll be tickled pink if anything near the number of people who expressed interest actually winds up buying 'em. If nothing else, it'll be nice to see a few of these wandering around.

In all honesty, I think the kid's T-shirt is the most horrible thing I could have done.

...I just discovered TWILIGHT from reading your LJ posts.

I think that means that *you* are totally made of awesome.

(Though I do not dispute you about Vito and the shirts.)

Got mine...

In red, of course. I was one of the fen who pushed him to publish. That, and stuffing the ballot box for the Preditors and Editors Romance poll, have since earned me a gruesome death.

As I mentioned on vito's LJ about the design (where I asked a question about the design), I'm probably going to get one of these, once I find the free money.

However, I'm wondering why CafePress was chosen. I'm not really up on the whole custom product e-commerce scene, so I don't know if they're the only option, but the quality of CP materials leaves something to be desired, to put it mildly. I had a mug and a shirt from them (different subjects), and both started fading after the first few washes, with the shirt showing signs that it's highly unlikely to last long enough to pass on to others (if that was my desire).

Short answer: neither am I, so I went with the best-known entity.

Love your review (and the books) and I'm definitely going to get a t-shirt or two when the next salary drops in.

Awww - I want one!

Is there anyway to get one or two this late? I just found out about all of this. (How could I possibly have missed this?)

Friend Me My To-do List Memories

YOU NEED A BOOK.

A POEM EVERY DAY

The collected poems from my descent into madness year spent writing daily poems are now available from Lulu as the cheapest 330-page book they would let me make ($16.20). If that's too pricey, you can also get it from Lulu as a free download, or just click on the "a poem every day" tag to read them here. But if you did buy one, that'd be awesome.
