50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

A question

  • computers

Morning everyone.
Over at ThinkGeek, they have this option for you to see their products “in action”. Basically, what people do is send in creative pictures of themselves wearing a T-shirt, or drinking from a glass, or something showing a mousepad, or something.
I’m wondering, when I get the gallery fixed, would anyone be interested in, and willing to send in jpegs of some of the WWDN schwag “in action”?
I think we could have some fun with it.

    “Hello…my name is Mrs. F****** Veteran!” lol!
    Sure, why not…or
    HEY, WAIT a Minute…is this some sort of conspiracy to get us to buy WWDN swag!! Oh, the horror, the sheer horror! Wil’s got us again!
    —
    The above was intended as a light-hearted poking fun at yesterday’s Mrs. Wheaton incident. It should not be construed as anything but levity.

    No problem here. If you’ll recall, my wife had a serious crush on you when she was younger. She asked you for a mask of you that she could put over my face…:-D
    I’m not sure if I should file for divorce now or after we send in the picture 😉

    I got the grey posse shirt! I’m all over that! That’s a great idea!
    I can see it now…it’s gonna be like those 7-Up commercials “show us your can”. And Wil’s gonna get all these really great photo of people doing all SORTSA creative things with those WWDN mousepads…..
    LOL!

    As previously said in my deleted double post reply: I’m all for the it, if I can come up with an interesting enough idea.

    spunds like fun, must find a way of ordering stuff! Being in Britian sucks sometimes. It rains, and rains and rains and I cant get anything from america because I dont have the right stuff!!!

    I actually was planning on sending up the stills from my last show, where the main character wears a “Wil Has A Posse” shirt (which the actor hi-jacked from me, by the way).
    It’s cool to know they’ll have a place.
    Still need to get a WFS shirt, though.

  15. MrsVeteran says:
    7 February, 2002 at 9:13 am

    Now if I could only find some shoes that would go with that stunning mousepad…

  16. MsAllegro says:
    7 February, 2002 at 9:14 am

    Oh, I’ll *prolly* buy a t-shirt. ‘N I’ll *maybe* send in a pic.
    But what I really wanna know is:
    Why the fuck are you up so early? Didn’t you get to bed at something like the buttcrack of dawn last night? Tch. Someone needs to call your mother…
    Oh. Wait. I was up at that hour too, wasn’t I?
    (emily litella) Nevermind. (/emily litella)

    7 February, 2002 at 9:15 am

    I would totally do it! 🙂 I’d love to show off my WFS tee

  18. wil says:
    7 February, 2002 at 9:19 am

    I got up early this morning so Anne could sleep in.
    She didn’t get home until 1:30, or something, and she’s got to go right back to the set, and work until at least midnight…so I got up to take care of the boys, and get them so school, so she could sleep in.

    i love the site, it is totally addictive. i just wanted to say i am a TNG fan and wil and patrick stewart are my favorite cast members. im glad to see you are doing some off the wall movies wil, props and good luck.

  21. Jon says:
    7 February, 2002 at 9:27 am

    I’m glad not just that Wil cleaned up the double post of this entry, but that he deleted the one that had my seriously lame comments and attempts at humor on it.
    Thanks for saving me from some embarassment, Wil! 🙂
    Remember-think before you post!

  22. MsAllegro says:
    7 February, 2002 at 9:34 am

    Aw, Wil.. that’s so damn cool. Ain’t it great being married to someone you love so much that you wanna do that stuff for? Good on you for that.
    Me, I avoid the issue entirely by being online all night 🙂
    Oh, wait. That’s not so good, is it?

    /me rushes off to the WWDN store to purchase an entire WWDN ensemble to go with the WFS shirt I already have…
    …damn, I’m not that rich. It’d be amusing, though.
    Okay, maybe not that amusing.
    Nevermind. Going back to work now. 😉

  24. djwudi says:
    7 February, 2002 at 9:47 am

    Oh – and as far as the photos? Sure, I’ll send ya a WWDN mug shot. Feel free to use, discard, or send to FARK for photoshopping as deemed fit.

  25. jbarn says:
    7 February, 2002 at 9:51 am

    Heh.
    I think a shot of five or ten geeky types in ‘posse’ t-shirts staring menacingly at the camera would be an excellent selling tool.
    You need some gang signs, Wil.

    I don’t know if this is a good idea. I don’t wanna see a picture of Spudnuts. Or any nuts.

    But wait a minute — don’t you sell underwear? Oh man…

    7 February, 2002 at 10:23 am

    Im totally for it when i get around to ordering one, or rather when i get the free $30.00 to do so !

  31. hedgiewan says:
    7 February, 2002 at 10:27 am

    i’m all for it, so long as you group the underwear pictures away from everything else. so people may choose whether or not they want to see spudnuts in boxers.

  32. tekfighter says:
    7 February, 2002 at 10:42 am

    Will we get paid in any way to hawk your swag? Maybe a multi-million dollar contract, like the one Britney has with Pepsi?

  33. Flann says:
    7 February, 2002 at 10:44 am

    I like the menacing geeks idea. I do admit to *actually* laughing out loud for that one.
    Me, I think I’m going to go for the girly and get the “womens” tshirt.
    Let’s hear it for the CT Posse!

  34. Polly says:
    7 February, 2002 at 10:46 am

    WIL! A WET T-SHIRT CONTEST! YES!!
    YES!!YES!!YES!!YES!!YES!!YES!!YES!!YES!!

  35. AMStrange says:
    7 February, 2002 at 10:48 am

    Yeah, it’s a good idea, IF there’s actually creative pics. A bunch of hairy dudes wearing WFS T-shirts, holding beers, and “throwing” peace signs is just, well, TOO lame.
    *revelling once again in the lameness of posting*

  36. Fred Fowler says:
    7 February, 2002 at 10:57 am

    Great. Now you’ll have 50 jpegs of the teddy bear dressed up like a leather boy.

  37. j-la says:

    i will send in jpgs with wwdn swag! me me me!

    Ferris wearing a WFS t-shirt with a Posse hat and playing poker with Data, Riker, Troi and Stephen Hawking?
    Damn straight, I’d like to see it!!

  39. jl says:

    Back in November I went to a Star Trek convention and I wore my ‘Wil has a posse’ shirt. I think I have a picture of me standing next to Denise Crosby or George Takei while I’m wearing that shirt. I’ll have to look thru my photos.
    Oh my god! I’m such a dork!
    Ah! Some one took a picture of me at work on a day I wore that shirt and right behind me is a big sign I made that reads: I WAS A TEENAGE SITH LORD! surrounded by Star Wars themed pez dispensers. How about that one?

  40. wibble says:

    once i get my hot little hands on a shirt or something, i’m all for it.

    Aw, too sweet, ain’t being a newlywed grand? I remember the days……. barely. I think your gallery idea would be great!! Go for it Wil. Have a great day too. 🙂

    Oh yaaaaah. My wife, soon to be 52, is thinking about quitting your job to be your stalker, Wil!
    (j/k). seriously, tho, i DID order her a WWDN parka for her upcoming b-day, and you can COUNT US IN. She also is now addicted to worth1000 photoshop contests, since she followed WWDN there… but i ramble. Like them Nike boys say, let’s JES DO IT.

    How about the “Subvert the Mass Media” idea that NTK (http://www.ntk.net/) does with it’s shirts? See http://www.geekstyle.co.uk/index.cgi?product=showWin%20free%20stuff for what I mean…

  45. Gaea says:

    First of all the “idea” for Mrs. Wheaton’s night out was totally cool.
    Second, hell yea! Bring on the pics. I was wearing my lucky “WFS” and won the wet t-shirt contest! I’ll show ya mine if you show me yours!(t-shirt photos that is) Nothing like showing the world how proud we are of our stuff!

    only if we get to VOTE for WHOM is displayed
    on the items!!! Now wouldn’t htat be a “imMORAL
    Majority”!!
