RE: wreck t-shirts

[Ward Cleaver]

How about "Wreckers do it in the sawdust" or "Woodworkers do it with sawdust"

[RikC]

How about "I'm a total wreck".

Those are great! The art is very well done. I think I'd like one of those if they are available on "big boy" sizes! Double Bubba sizing, ya know.

only thing... roy should have a brace/bit "holster" like nahm's cordless drill... ;)

[Buddy Matlosz]

Pretty neat, but she'd better be prepared for the nastygrams she'll get from Norm and Roy's lawyers for using and profiting from their images without permission.

Ok, fine-- I'll be the doo-doo head here. I'm all for a wReck T-shirt, and would buy and wear one. But not the one I saw.

I'm wondering at the reasoning that says it's a good idea to blatantly associate Norm and Roy with this group when they're not contributors to it. (Do they _know_ they're on it?)

Is rec.woodworking about what your T-shirt says it's about? Since no one "owns" the newsgroup, anyone if free to do what they want, I guess, but sure seems to me that before you go _selling_ something with a name on it that a lot of people have committed a lot of time to, you'd do a little pondering on the responsibility that goes with it.

I've seen several witty suggestions for taglines that would be both appropriate and humorous, offered by people who regularly read the group and any of them, I think, would be more appropriate to (what I percieve to be) the nature of our group.

"Yeah, but we talk about Norm and Roy all the time!" Well, we talk about JOAT and that d*****ad crossposter from the dental group, too, but that doesn't qualify either of them for T-shirt fame.

And they're on this group a LOT more than N & R. ;>

Anyone else would recognize the faceless people you mention?

As symbols of woodworking, the odd couple are a fine choice, recognizable by many.

[Jim Mc Namara]

Okay jo4hn, I'll give up the jummywood idea. Why not something directly related to this group - like:

Join us at the wRECk? rec.woodworking and have a picture like a handplane on it or something?

I've got a shop apron that has many autographs of some of the wreckers here on the ng. I would like to see the same on the back of the tee shirt (except in print.) How about having everyone who would like the shirt to list their "screen name" on the back of it?

Just a thought . . .

[Renata]

I'll agree with Michael - witty sayings suggested much better than N&R images. I don't care if folks recognize their (N&R) mugs; I think an appropraite saying that would capture the spirit of the group, as well some version of "rec.ww'g" (or the wRECk, or...) on the shirt would be great.
