How about a shirt that isn't a "humoristic logo" at all, especially something
that we'd have to explain to LOTS of people as they run along around us and
wonder "what does *that* mean...he's probably a druggie" or anything worse.

Personally, though I did enjoy the humor of the "Milk Cow/Troll" thing at the
time, it isn't something I'd personally like to see. However, as a short
story that is uniquely Shadowrun complete with image highlights...yep, that is
something I'd like to see.

According to Ereskanti@***.com, at 16:34 on 27 Mar 99, the word on

My idea too. I did something up in about 10 minutes yesterday night, which
can be seen at http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/1999shirt.gif (obviously, it's
a draft, not the finished thing).

I _like_ shirts with quotes or images that are not immediately
understandable to outsiders... (I should get a guilder for every time
someone asked me about my "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" T-
shirt. I'd have... erm... about 3 guilders now :)

I have to agree with that, too, though. If we do an in-joke, my vote is
for something with a carp, a thwap, or something similar. Not a joke
related to a one-time thread of a few months ago, but something that will
be recognizable years down the line.

I wasn't a member of shadowrn yet when the "Milk Cow/Troll" thing happened, so
could someone recap it for me?

I probably won't be ordering one anyway but how about a carp swinging
down onto a woodchuck

what does a woodchuck look like?

Btw, a friend suggested incorprating some substance called tea. Anybody
ever heard of the stuff? ;)
