Your definition of a "fun" moment on the list obviously
differs from mine. This thread that your design is based
upon could never be as funny for me as you because
I was never in on the joke nor could I be because of
my geographical location.
I am fully aware that the troll and bunny slippers idea came
from a thread on the list. Please understand that this thread,
like your shirt idea, only has an appeal limited to those that
saw the ad for the milk and understood WTF the troll thread
was about. Following that thread was like walking into a room
of laughing friends and catching only the punchline of the joke.
When you ask what was funny they turn to you and say "You
had to be there."
I'm not against a humourous design for the shirt, just that
particular one. I desperately want a RN shirt but I wont pay
BIG money (most non US RNer's will end up paying at least
double to triple what you will) for a design that is not
recognisable as a Shadowrun or ShadowRN shirt.
The shirt design _should_ foster a community spirit that
unites _all_ RN'ers not just those that happened to follow
a bizarre and convoluted thread based on an in joke about
an american advert for milk. Sorry but this idea not only
alienates me as it says that I , and other non US residents,
can never be a valued member of this community.
What the hell is the matter with the Carp idea?
Something that is uniquely RN, humourous,
non geographical. What more could one want?
