Slashdot T-Shirt Update
Neil from
CopyLeft wrote in to say
that they finally caught up on the flood of Slashdot T-Shirt orders.
They're really sorry about the lag- apparently ya'll ordered
a lot more then they expected. Anyway they are now
geared up to handle sales efficiently so go order
a Slashdot shirt if you want to drape yourself in
#006666 and blatant advertising, or just want to help
support Slashdot. They have shirts with my Don't Fear
the Penguins logo too.
I'm also hearing rumblings about Hats for the zillions of
you who request them. No word yet on Slashdot Undergarments
and Ties, but who really wants to wear underwear and ties
anyway?
Your "go buy a Slashdot tshirt" link points to Slashdot itself. It should point to copyleft.net/something.
And I didn't see a penguins shirt. They have a copyleft shirt, a slashdot shirt and advertising for freshmeat and themes.org shirts.
I want Slashdot Bikini underwear with Rob's face on the bottom :)

Ok, no one has seemed to dared to have said it yet, but will there be a RED Hat available?

... Ok, that was kinda cheezy.. so sue me.
Some of us /. readers (myself included) are forced to wear a tie everyday to work. My job function is Access VB Programming, so yes, I *do* hail from the Cathedral, although I escape to the Bazaar occasionally. Holding an MCSE and otherwise holding certain Microshaft responsibilities inspires me to wear something rebellious someday. A /. tie would perfect!

Sometimes a tie is appropriate... like a funeral (put something on the tie on the order of 'hmm.. someone must have died for me to be wearing this! Slashdot forever!'). But undergarments? I always figured that after 5 years or so with unix everyone would just be using those as air filters for their cooling fans (I haven't had a cover on my computer for about 3 years... hell I don't even know where it is). Anyways, what fun is linux with your underwear and pants on?
Hey T-shirt makers!
Know this.
Well I must say I don't suffer from your moist anus syndrome. Perhaps you should get one of those fancy toilets with the jet of water that squirts up your bottom when you are done.. then you'll be all nice and tidy.
I would think copyleft earned a lot more
if they would charge just what it costs
to ship the stuff. $16 for international
shipping is way too much.
Well, they said they are lazy ->
Less to ship == good.
A tie with lots of tiny penguins could come in handy at times .

I did order a t-shirt from Copyleft, and I warn that their printing process skews the colors strongly. You'll also find that the logo/whatever printed on the shirt is scaled pretty small.
Not worth the price. I wouldn't recommend them.
I ordered three shirts sometime last year.
Several months later I got them.
Good thing they were all white as opposed
to the colours I ordered them in.
Comfortable shirts, none the less.
oh well.
Just wanted to say thanks for that really awesome level of detail.
Hey, t-shirt makers: please try to remember that some of us live where it gets cold. So, it's be nice to be able to buy a cool logo sweatshirt or two.
I've already sent email to copyleft.net about and they say they'll think about doing sweatshirts after they do stickers and hats and ties. TIES?!
If you want a sweatshirt - go to copyleft.net and send them email about it. (What the hell is a "tie" anyway?! Isn't that something a marketing wonk wears?! Grrr.)
XXXL is a "realistic" size?! That's not a t-shirt, that's a friggin' tent.
In the meantime, you can buy Redhat ties
I seem to remember a beer commercial with a penguin that everyone was afraid of as he croaned
'doo be doo be doo'. Anyone know of a clip or photos of it online? Seems fitting:)
My first thought when I saw the first of those commercials was, "Why'd Tux be interested in this extremely poor quality american beer?" It's pretty sad when the only virtual beer the poor penguin can find is in a commercial selling stuff so bad they need to make commercials to sell it.
speaking of which... this is a damn funny site......

in no particular order. In the spirit of Slashdot, consider these Slashdot 1999 Merchandise Suggestions open-source, GPLed, whatever. I ain't gonna sue anyone when I see 'em at my local Wal-Mart.
- the official Slashdot lunchbox
- the official Slashdot bong
- the official Slashdot colostomy bag
- the official Slashdot pocket bio of Rob Malda (sold right where those dreamy Leo pocket bios were at Barnes and Noble last week!)
- Slashdottin' to the Oldies - the official weight loss video
- the official Slashdot taser, for hostile Linux advocacy rallies
- the official Slashdot adult film
and my personal favourite idea:
Slashdot Flakes - the Breakfast Cereal.
...I'd rather wear a "Vote for Quayle" shirt. :)
Thats disgusting! I'm trying to eat my lunch over here!

****Gfx Scrollbar Special case hit!!*****
I would by any garments with /. stuff on them, especially the don't fear the penguin stuff. I'm always quoting that at work. I REALLY want a HAT! Not a cheap crappy hat with that fishnet top and plastic thingy in the back. I want a black or dark grey hat with /. or don't fear... on it. It has to be all cloth, including the resizer thing in the back with a metal clip. How about a penguin on the front, with "Don't fear the penguin" written over the hole in the back.
Or maybe one that says "Microsoft, FEAR THIS"
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.
But Rob said that they did mugs (which is true) but they can also do T-shirts.
I have the one with Tux in sunglasses and the Slashdot logo and it is very cool.
They delivered it very quickly (less than a week and I'm in the UK) and the quality is excellent.
I'm not associated with them I'm just a happy customer.
- Due to the stupid form contruction. E.g., country doesn't seem to fit anywhere. Or I'm too tired.
First Qualcomm sent me a Eudora T-Shirt /. shirt I'll have on tomorrow.

With the reappearance of Kiss, Dee Snyder and other Monsters of Rock, I think it only appropriate to expand your product line.

Take a look at the total S/H (4 + 11) for
non-US residens in the case of just one T-shirt.
$30 for a T-shirt - NO WAY!
Hey I have to wear a tie to school everyday and I'm getting tiered of wearing the same tie every day for more then a year (school year?)
Keep the tie looking good though. I am not a real big fan of the redhat tie
What about other nerd stuff like pocket protectors?
Hell, yeah I'd buy a tux and a /. strangulation device. I'm forced to wear one where I currently work. It's a kewl place in terms of being able to play with enterprise systems and designing better systems that our consultants couldn't figure out for themselves. (read as not understanding DNS and networking concepts, as well as many other things...but anyway)
/. one would fit in nicely. Especially considering me and a co-worker are bringing in the onslaught of penguin boxes (8 VAReasearch boxes) to handle DNS and other things that we don't want to let WinblowsNT to mutilate.
I already wear goofy strangulation devices (tie), gumby, goofy, donald duck, cleveland indians, and so forth. A tux and a

There is. Try this . I want one. Not that I'd ever wear it, but it's cool...

What about:
* The Official Slashdot Caffine Drink, or better
* The Official Slashdot Caffine IV
* The Official Slashdot Vending Machine (that's where I'd get my lunch...)
* And of course all the Official Slashdot hardware. Someone contact Intel, AMD, Sun etc to see if we can plaster Slashdot logos on all the cool toys we put in our computers.
* Not to mention the Official Slashdot World Domination Handbook. This, of course, would have to be delivered fast.

around 25 bucks..Now thats not to much to ask for a one of a kind t-shirt that has elite written all over it.
"Release your inner nerd."
As one of the (what, 2?) /. readers who don't work in IT, I'm forced to wear my very own noose to work every night. (Seems like the nights I 'forget' to wear one are the nights my boss 'checks up' on me - busted!) And I'd much rather wear a slashdot tie than anything else, except maybe a Tux tie, which I'm planning on making myself before too long..
Oh well, we're lobbying for scrubs in the workplace - wish us luck.
My girl would go for wearing a /. bra for me. Anything to make me happy. But then again, I'd probably never really want to take it off :)
(1) print out the slashdot logo on a Color Printer Near You (the better the better) ...
(2) buy a white t-shirt el cheapo
(3) go have the logo printed onto the shirt with one of those funky t-shirt-photocopier-thingys, will cost u something on the order of 5 euro or so
