Fill in the blank: My personal T-shirt slogan would be ________
Lockedby smorty71 · about 16 years, 10 months ago
Recently, I bought a Nintendo t-shirt that had a picture of a Gamecube controller with the text “I have control issues” above it.
I bought it for 2 reasons:
1. I love Nintendo
2. Well… I have control issues (there, I said it)It made me think how much easier things would be if people just put some clues to their personality on a t-shirt.
So, if you could put a slogan on a T-shirt that gave a glimpse into your personality, what would it say?

Make two versions of the shirt (at least):
One has a picture of Bill Gates with caption “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Then do a parallel version with Linus Torvalds.
The same could be done with a cartoon of a computer, where the monitor shows either a Windows/Linux/Mac logo.

Canon used to have a transfer material
by hal 9000 · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Hey raspark
That you could run through an Ink Jet printer and then iron on the transfer to a T Shirt or whatever. I don’t know if they still have it and I’ve never used it so I don’t know how well it worked but it looked like a good idea at the time when I originally saw it.
Though you would most likely needed to have cleaned out the printer after you ran any of this stuff through it.

Transfers
by hodgelett · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Canon used to have a transfer material
I’ve been running a t-shirt business, with tie-dye and/or printed transfers. Text is a little trickier cos it tends to curl at the edges after a couple of washes. Also bright colours and whites seem to be a little no-no and handwashing better than machine.
A picture’s worth a thousand words anyway. 😉 -

Transfer material
by tig2 · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Canon used to have a transfer material
There are two ways I know to transfer an image. There are a variety of heat transfer papers for both dark and light colours on the market. I find them most easily in any good craft store. Oddly enough, it is the same as printing to paper- no additional printer cleaning required.
You can also print to photo paper, let dry completely- I recommend at least overnight. Then use photo transfer medium to transfer to cloth.
The catch is that you have to remember to flip your text as it will tranfer reversed.
I used the transfer paper for my supporter tee shirts this year. Next year, I will have them done by a professional- they’ll wear better.

Transfer material
by unsanet3ch · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Transfer material
I have the leisure of owning my own heat press, but you can get good transfers printing done at Kinko’s. Find a supplier of transfer paper for color copiers (local paper supplier). The Xerox and Canon color copiers give the best color. Plus they can output 11″ x 17″. Also using a 50%/50% shirt produces the best image and lasting transfer. (100% cotton gets fuzzy and the image fades rather quickly)

Many Years Ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away
by hal 9000 · about 16 years, 10 months ago
In reply to Transfer material
I used to fix sewing machines to work my way through the Undergrad course at Uni.
I’m still one of the few certified to fix those multi head [b]Embroidery Machines[/b] though I’ll admit that even the thought of one of those sends a cold shiver down my back. 🙁
I was recently hit with one where the Microprocessor Board had failed just a little 16 head one but you should have seen me heading for the hills as fast as my little Ducati could carry me & that’s very fast. 😀
Now I only fix [b]SHMBO[/b] sewing machine and overylocker and when my sister hits me when I can’t escape. She got it down pat now as she sends in her kids who think that I can fix anything to ask me well actually tell me to fix something for their mother. 🙁
I don’t know how their father takes this as anytime that anything breaks at their house they are all screaming out [b]Quick Call Uncle Colin to fix it![/b]
But having the motif properly embroiled will be much better and last far longer but you’ll need to find someone who knows what they are doing as I’ve seen way too many instances where the right backing material wasn’t used on the inside of the T Shirt and the entire shirt was ruined. If you can find one of those terrible people who inhabit [b]Craft Shops[/b] they’ll be able to do it free hand in a hoop which will not stretch or pucker the T Shirt. But as I now avoid Craft Shops like the plague here I’m safe from getting caught doing work I hate. 😀

The Dog Patch Trading Post is right next door to a truckstop where I’d often get a great breakfast when I made turns between Perrysburg, OH and London.
I have a coffee cup from the Beaver Lick Trading Post too. That was the first place I ever saw that had a fishing-worm vending machine sitting outside.
I went into the Beaver Lick trading post before they had souvenirs and remarked to the cashier/part-owner that it was too bad they didn’t have any souvenirs.
She said, I am not kidding, “Whut’s special about Beaver Lick?” I just said to nevermind and left. Six months or so later there were souvenirs up the wazoo.Grammar made me edit.

I actually grew up in Northern KY (just across the river from Cincinnati) and we moved to Dry Ridge my Freshman year of highschool. I moved out on my own at 19. I couldn’t stand another second in Dry Ridge. Now, all these years later, I find myself in yet another small town. We’ve been here 6 years now.

Coon Hollow (pronounced “holler”)
Skin Fork (that’s a holler, too, and very beautiful, actually)
Hotchkiss
Bear Run (I can guess how it got its name)
Wolfpen Hollow (that’s where my grandma lived until two years ago. It was only about 6 years ago that she got indoor plumbing – yep, that’s right, walk across the top of the mountain to the outhouse. And I used to catch crawdads with my uncles when I was very little – they look like little lobsters and if you don’t catch ’em right it can be very painful.)
And then, of course all the names with ____lick or ____branch or _____hollow.

I’ve seen that way too many times now I first saw it when I was working Mainframes and was called in after the Accountant had fixed the system to save the costs involved in calling us out. What should have been a 10 minute repair or adjustment took several days to replace all the dead stuff as he had to have on polyester material and didn’t earth himself before getting stuck into the frame. He was complaining that there was just one static discharge so it shouldn’t have done that much damage. :^0
This was the same guy who insisted that I do my job and fix the problem instead of running a Diagnostic program to find out what the problem was to start off with and make it easy to fix. That repair took days to perform and threw my work schedule way out but they paid for the 3 days that I spent there. Then he tried to repair the thing the next time. Pity he attacked the wrong frame and totally killed that one off. 😀

Having someone sanding over you demanding that you get it fixed [b]NOW![/b] when it took them weeks to break something by you are supposed to magically walk in and fix it immediately. Never being told the truth when you ask [b]What Changes Have Been Made?[/b] You get told [b]Nothing It’s Exactly the Same as the Last Time You Saw It[/b] and then you find a whole group of games installed or better still a Beta copy of a New Program and they have lost the original Install CD so you have to try to get a Install CD that will work with their Product Keys. 🙁
No Joke one place that I do work for bought a new computer for their salesperson and when I first saw it 1 week latter they had already lost the Recovery CD’s they most likely got thrown out with the packaging but I’m supposed to manage to make the sound work again. Sometimes I get really close to having myself [b]Committed[/b] because I actually decided to do work for [b]Small Business[/b] years before anyone recognised the need & market potential that was there. Now all I have to do is get them all educated to make it part way easy. 😀

She gets worked up when that word is used and since she’s closer to you than me I was only looking out for your personal safety. 😀
Currently Neil is living in constant fear of GG finding out where he is he is moving house every second day and jobs every second week while trying to find a way out of the UK for his own safety and he only Stood GG Up when she gets her hooks in there is no escape but as I’m half a world away I’m fairly safe but only fairly to be totally safe I would need to be way underground in the Arctic in the middle of winter and even then I would only be safe from her wrath for about 9 months of the year the 3 summer months I would be at her [b]Total Lack of Mercy[/b] if I was lucky she would airfreight a polar bear down to eat me but really I think that she would consider that a too fast punishment and she would come up with something far slower and more painful. :^0
Something along the lines of being the first contact point for every Windows Question no matter what to totally drive me insane. 🙁
Now that would be more the GG style of inflicting pain and endless suffering. :0

I Hear Voices and They Don’t Like You !
I find the best way to control any situation is with a bit of Shock and Awe, coupled with a bit of fun. Get their attention so they will really listen, and then drop the lines that they need.
Like you really need to stay away from that website, if you did not ask for it don’t click on it, and if you did ask for it do you reall want to click on it.Many years ago I worked in a Technical Support Call Center, and I got a call from an individual that said he was in a chat room and someone ask him if he wanted to see what Hell looked like, being the savy user he was he said yes. He clicked on a link and before you know it he was looking at a black screen.
As I ask him did he see what hell looked like he said no, his system just went black. When I responed it looked like Hell from where I sat he just kept saying no it was not, his screen just had stuff dancing all around then went black.
Did I mention that there was one line of text. Command com is missing insert boot disk.
To this day I believe he is still in denial, so I like to get their attention right upfront and hold it. And when you can do it no verbally it adds so much more fun to the situation.

Many years ago I was called out to repair the receptionists computer as it wasn’t working but a big puff of smoke did come out of it. That was the sole description that I was given for the job.
When I got there and after removing all the mess from around the poor Desktop Case one of those flat ones that had the monitor sitting on top of it I opened the case and found little ferns growing over every surface. There was a potted fern directly above the unit and the spores had been sucked into the computer and fallen into the CRT Monitor. At the end of the day when the AC had been turned off and the place shut up the humidity went up and allowed moisture to collect on most of the surfaces and the spores germinated.
The M’Board CPU and RAM on a 386 or 486 was completely covered with little ferns growing all over it. At that time the M’Board was still working but the monitor had blown as it had the same thing inside it. We replaced the entire computer and moved the fern outside so the problem didn’t reoccur. But for years after that I had the complete M’Board sitting on wet cotton wool and watching the ferns grow. It was an excellent demonstration of what not to do. 😀

In reply to Hey there, Tigger. I’ve seen it…
Or at least any worse than the rest of us!
Besides, isn’t “Mental health” an oxymoron?
Somewhere in all of my oddities, I own a button that reads “Potentially unstable”… with “isotope” in tiny letters underneath.
Of course, I also have a button that reads, “If only you and DEAD people can read hex, how many people can read hex?”
Before you drive yourself nuts or answer 1, the actual answer is 57006. DEAD = 57005 + 1 = 57006.
