I love this version of the song, and I think it would make an excellent tee-shirt. But I have to correct myself, it's really "They might be rain, they might be HEAT, they might be chewing on a pair of feet." The albatross one is right.

Oh, it jogs, don't you worry. I am sooo glad we are all talking about this because the memories are flooding back to me. Those postcard things were really funny, I can hear the guy's voice right now.

I have been so damn busy with school...sorry Sister Rosemary, darn busy... that I have not had time to think of t-shirt designs...I will let you guys handle it...ah well...if it was summer I would be designing away. Anyone want to write a personal reflection essay for me? Um. Okay, I like the following ideas for the t-shirt: Windmills and Johns in armor is cool, says I, devoted Don Quixote fan. Definitely the whole world's address, mailing list address, free when you net from work idea. I don't like the phrase surf too much either. Remember to do as Sir Jonathan suggested and not put tmbg-list so we don't get the onslaught of weirdos who are reading our shirts in the computer lab. I still like the phrase someone in the club tonight has stolen my ideas so that's my alternate choice if the windmills falls through. I had a bunch of stuff to respond to...hmmm.. Mrs. Train interp...I never thought about it as a wedding at all, I saw it from the point of view of a kid standing on line (like to get their picture taken with Santa) or something...not Santa obviously...I guess the idea of a personified train is not so strange in Scranton, home of the anthracite museum and enough train memorabilia to drive you mad.

But, I'll obvioulsly need the money (tenatively US $14, including shipping) before I send any shirts, mostly because the guy making the shirts will want his money when I go to pick them up, and I don't have enough money to cover the cost of about 100 shirts. The shirt will most likely be a white, short-sleeved variety, a 50/50 cotton/poly blend.

Wow...I was out shopping with a friend, and not only did I have good luck at a very hip vintage/secondhand clothing shop, but then we went into a record store, and they were playing TMBG! It was Flood, but we were pretty psyched nonetheless. And they were playing it really loud too! :) I had just wanted to stop in this place for just a second to look for one thing, but we ended up "browsing" until they switched to a different CD. The employee who apparently had put Flood on saw my t-shirt and gave me a look of recognition. Then I saw another employee go and turn the volume down. He gave her a dirty look, and so she finally turned it back up again. Eventually, he turned it off in the middle of Hearing Aid. Then we left. :) As for the T-shirt design, I like the idea of having a very kitschy 50's picture of someone on the phone and the "I took off the intellectuals and I put on They Might Be Giants" quote. Maybe in equally kitschy lettering. I kind of like the train conductor with the paper-white mask of evil idea too. I don't think the list address/web page address should be the most prominent thing on the shirt; it should be on there somewhere, yes, but I'd rather see some kind of really cool original design as the main focus. I went to see Brain Candy last night; it's a good thing I'd heard that you have to really be listening to catch TMBG, because I might have missed it otherwise. Oh well, it's not as if many other songs on the soundtrack got a ton of exposure either, with the exception of the songs during the closing credits (I can never decide if I like Matthew Sweet or not...incidentally, he graduated from the same high school as me. That's Lincoln's big claim to fame. Oh, and that's Lincoln, Nebraska, NOT the Lincoln that produced a certain other band we all are familiar with. :) Anyway, I'm rambling.
