Some cool stuff here and more to come.

Interesting stuff, might I suggest you offering some of the back versions with the design also on the front? You shameless capitalist,you!

Hey, I have no shame, but I'm open to suggestion.

As for being a capitalist, that would require my exploitation of employees. I'm more the petit-bourgoise type.

So, naturally you researched cafepress and exactly who does the labor to make those shirts, ensuring that they (and you, by using their services) aren't exploiting THEIR employees, right?

Ahh, rationalization, my old friend . . .

They are capitalists. I've made all those kinds of things in the past but it
is easier for me to let them do it. Still the difference is that, while I am participating
in the vile system, I'm not directly running a sweatshop.

I do produce other things singlehandedly without direct exploitation but it's nice to be able to put out some nice things to help fund the other efforts.

One must compromise, even with the devil.

So . . . um . . . knowlingly seeking out and benefiting from a sweatshop is somehow better than actually running a sweatshop because you don't get your hands dirty?

Just looking for clarification.

Nice shirts, by the way . . . When are the Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe shirts coming out?

The only ways to avoid participating in sweatshop support are:

go naked

buy only from thrift shops

buy only fair trade



So yeah, I'm guilty.

mia culpa mia culpa mia culpa
(and anyway I'm just an out of work prol trying to get by between gigs)


Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe is a modern trademark product. The vintage images are within the public domain.

Your copying my idea.

Everyone wants to make a buck...

Wayyyyy back when we had a cafe press site for the first LF.

I've still got the shirt and coffee mug. I wonder is the place is still around...

Ha.
That brings back old mammaries.

I hope it doesn't!

...

"I've still got the shirt and coffee mug."

i still have both of mine too, i always seem to get people asking about the shirt when i wear it. though i think the first official louche fest was held by tha' liver in nyc the year before, porkio, da rabbit, ~y~ and wolfgang were a few that were there.

Actually, the first Louchefest I remember (and I remember the whole thing too!)was in Allentown.

It was me, ~Y~, Liver and two rats in an aquarium.

Don't ask how we got in there.

Mamma mia!

MEa culpa! or rather:
tua culpa, tua culpa, tua maxima culpa!

You are most correct. It took me a while to remember that (not being catholic)


Mea maxima culpa


Still cool stuff though.

Yeah...

Everyone is all for socialism until they learn they can make money for themselves with a good idea...

Prol gotta eat.

The difference between Prol and a "capitalist" is that Prol still knows that we're all in the same boat and isn't a self obsessed libetrarian.

Also, I think having cool absinthe related stuff adds to creating a consciousness that makes absinthe more acceptable and gives the wearer an opening to edumacate the ignorant.

Boobies?

Yes, getting to the important questions, will it make my tits look huge?

Please elaborate, so we can judge for ourselves.

What's to elaborate?

Modesty will get you...

Lack of interest, nevermind.

I've seldom suffered from either, tardboy.

Tardboy


Turdboy -- maybe he's Shlomo the dungcart guy in disguise!


On the boobie front (he, he), it depends what your after, The larger sizes for modesty, the smaller for, well . . .

Spoken like a true salesman.

Got any kimonos?

For you or the Mayor?

Oh, you know, something soft and frilly, but long.

Busted!

I wish but the cafepress site doesn't have that much class.


Probably the best thing is to just get the largest size.

I'd do them myself but I no longer have the equipment. I used to do screenprinting back in the early 80's.

Hee! So much for catering to Oscar's tastes. I tried.

I thought it was for the Mayor.

AB, your new avatar is brutal! It's like the 'after' of you your previous one

It worked for Assop.

It’s her revenge for the clown porn.

Gee Cros, I kinda like Abby's New Avatar.

CLOWNPANTS!

I guess these folks don't have absinthe designs.

But is it Fair Trade or do they use sweatshop labor (fed on raw food)?

I don't seen any absinthe designs offered.

Cool stuff anyway, if it doesn't fit you can always smoke it.

It was.

Love it!

Those are pecs, the epitome of why the Mayor left and this place is boring...

Oops, I forgot those ARE tits to you, sweetie.
