This sounds very, very dangerous: someone with their head head up their ass could easily poke an eye out with the stick that's already there....

I just *knew* he had an OED... Never, ever argure with the OED. Or, in this case, the ShOED.
Better to share your thoughts by posting than inviting us into the throne room, a la LBJ.

Larry,
This idea's been around rec.crafts.woodturning for a couple of years. The following sites feature t-shirts designed and marketed by two ladies (Ruth and Molly) who frequent the group. Although the group name does not appear on the shirts, they've been informally adopted by the group, and are worn for recognition to turning symposiums and other gatherings. The ladies have also managed to have the shirts featured in one or two catalogs of prominent woodturning suppliers.
I picked both volumes up for $20 at a flea market - Just about the only decent thing I ever saw at one of those things.
Very wise....
There is a great book on writing the first edition of the OED - The Surgeon of Crowthorne - apparently a fellow that wrote a lot of the entries was an American murderer, in an institution in England - he went mad after serving as a doctor during the US civil war. The full version of the OED not only has definitions and derivation but it records the first time the word was ever printed in English, this fellow (the American murderer) spent his time going through mountains of books looking for the first instance of many thousands of words.

It's quite affordable and housable on CD-ROM, although the interface leaves a bit to be desired. Also available online, but I haven't tried that.
How about something like (with due deference to Ruth)

The grammar is probably wrong but I *think* it means "skilfully making sawdust "

Yep, I have a hat with the same logo, gets a lot of reaction. Almost as much as my t-shirt that sez:: "My wife reckons I don't listen to her, or I think that's what she said!"

Oh Larry....wherefore art thou? (Jaques, that is, who does the t-shirt thing (among other skills), or used to),

Ka niff ee? or Ka nife?

If t-shirts don't blow yer hair back, maybe an ole bumper sticker might. I had a stack of bumper sticker stock left over from a printing course and printed up a sticker using my laser printer.

It might be cool to have a Knight handplane logo on it somewhere as well as a TS-aligner image -- two products that were sort of born on rec.ww
And where is *mine?*

You sound like my 9 year old. I'll give you the same resonse I give her:
"You didn't ask nicely." :)
What's wrong with "mad" ? All the best dictionaries employ psychotic killers as their compilers.
Read "The Surgeon of Crowthorne", for the story of the original Hannibal Lecter
