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

Is anyone interested in WWdN merchandise?

  • WWdN in Exile

Before I put in the time and effort to make some new WWdN merchandise for the WWdN CafePress store, I’m looking for a show of hands: is anyone interested in some WWdN gear, like T-shirts and stuff?

I don’t have the time or desire to run a store myself, or take the risk of buying a lot of stock ahead of time. I would not be doing this for shiny gold rocks as much as I’d be doing it for the fun and to increase the chances that I’d be out in the world doing my thing one day, and see someone wearing a WWdN T-shirt, and to "spread the virus" as Jonathan Coulton says.

Stats tell me that about 200K people are reading my blog (man, that’s a lot and is so very weird) so if about 100 or so of you guys chime in, I think it would be enough to make it worth the time and expense of paying a designer to put something together.

I’m a huge fan of American Apparel, so I’m thinking about moving to Spreadshirt if I do this. Obviously, I’m not going to bother if there isn’t enough interest, though. I am supposed to be writing, after all.

    I read the blog, I bought the books, why not a t-shirt and stuff)!

    I’m a tshirt junkie… I’d get one. 🙂

    Oh yeah, one tshirt and coffee mug for me. I buy woot shirts all the time. Gotta get me some wwdn shirts too.

    I’d be interested.
    I don’t know if I’d be interested enough to actually complete a transaction, but I’d consider it.
    It would depend alot on how hawesome they were, how much spending cash I had free and whether I could get them shipped to a Canadian address easily.

  5. Cervantes says:
    28 January, 2008 at 3:57 pm

    Yes.
    The End.

    Oh ya, what SupRspi said. It has to make it to Canadiana without a metric buttload of extra shipping and handling charges. Those make me sad. In my pants.
    I have obviously had too much caffeine, so this is the end of Comment number 2, Electric Boogaloo.

    Absolutely! Bring it!

  8. prof_rocko says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    Yes- definitely interested here.

  9. MJBUtah says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    yes. yes I would. If I have any money left over after buying the “Happiest Days” audiobook which is on it’s way, right?
    Right?
    Are those crickets?

  10. Able-X says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:09 pm

    I would, as long as it’s not cafepress. They make good shirts, but are kind of over priced. Maybe you could submit a WWdN design to threadless 😉

  11. scottarius says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    From CafePress? NO. From somewhere with higher quality shirts? YES. 😀

  12. nansie says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    I’d definitely buy a t-shirt. Especially a “Wil Wheaton 300” one.

    I still wear my Obey Wil shirt, to the confusion of many.
    I’d definitely be up for some new T’s. But yeah, um, I’m not a fan of Cafe Press, their stuff seems subpar somehow.

  14. schillaj says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    I would totally get one!

  15. dph134 says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:27 pm

    I would buy one 🙂

  16. big jon says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:33 pm

    ill take one as long as there is a xxl to get.

  17. Chris the Tiki Guy says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    I’d buy that for a dollar!
    Or more.
    (that’s an enthusiastic yes, by the way, with a side order of “RoboCop”)

  18. Beckie says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    yes, yes, yes!

  19. rapunxelle says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    I would totally hand over my dollars for shirts n things 🙂

  20. Syb says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:38 pm

    Yes. That would be neat!

  21. dbol39 says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:38 pm

    Well, I don’t normally wear shirts with logos (I do occasionally make an exception for Lego…50th anniversary of the brick today, respect) but if Uncle Willy cooked up something particularly fantastic, I might make an exception.

  22. DrJones says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:41 pm

    T-shirt, maybe. Hoodie however…SOLD. As long as I can get either in a XXXL(sittin’ in front of the computer all day hasn’t been kind to me in the last 6 months….)

  23. RedLeader23 says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:42 pm

    I’m game for some t-shirts. I’d buy one for me, one for my Mom, one for my dog, one for my Grandma and one for my hamster if that is what it takes to make the shirts reality.

  24. Celtic Mama says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:42 pm

    I would LOVE WWdN stuff! Please do it!

  25. erratic ninja says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:46 pm

    i would. as long as it isn’t cafepress. i think their quality/cost ratio is horrible.

  26. JMama3 says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:48 pm

    DO IT!

  27. RakDaddy says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:48 pm

    You make a LaNdSPEEdR t-shirt, and I’m there.

  28. jhankins says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:48 pm

    Yes, as long as we can get larger sizes too 😉

  29. cass says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    yes definitely…. any chance to throw good will (and dollars) your way and i’m there 🙂

  30. Morph says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    Oh hell yes.

  31. sarchix says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    I’m in and would love to have toddler and Kiddie sizes too. (Gotta start them off right.)

  32. H says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:52 pm

    Hells yes. Sign me up!

  33. lisacub says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    Yes, would buy- not happy with CafePress products in the past also

  34. ShellyLee says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:54 pm

    That would be freakin awesome. I need a new really big coffee mug. *hint hint*

  35. Wil says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:57 pm

    Wow, this is a bigger — and more rapid — response than I expected.
    I hear y’all on CafePress, so if I do this, I’ll do it at Spreadshirt.
    Do the complaints about quality go beyond apparel to the other things at CafePress, like mugs and stickers and things? I have one mug, and I like it, though it’s faded a bit in six years.

  36. carrieF says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    Yes! Always looking for cool mugs and tees. Would like to see the return of the “my name is William Fucking Shatner” or maybe “Wil says: Don’t be a dick”?

  37. Michele says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    Cool idea. I’d buy a
    t-shirt.

  38. ColleenS says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:59 pm

    Sorry to chime in late but I would love some stuff. Maybe something for the 300 hundred?

  39. lisacub says:
    28 January, 2008 at 4:59 pm

    I’ve ordered a mug for a gift before and it looked pretty generic – like a white mug from a dollar store with faded lettering 😉

  40. Zkid says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    So long as they can get to me here in Australia, I’m definately interested, though actual perchases would be dependant upon the designs. Can you show us any sample designs?

  41. SwanShadow says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    As long as I can get a big honkin’ coffee mug and a XXXL shirt, I’m down.
    ‘Cause we fat dudes hopped up on caffeine love our Uncle Willie.

  42. Brad Wilson says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    +1. Do it! 🙂

  43. Jaimie says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    Bring it on! And some stuff for the little people, too. My nephew needs new T-shirts.

  44. Amy Bean says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    I’m in. Although I have to agree about CafePress’ craptastic quality.

  45. Wixenstyx says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    Yup.. I’d buy stuff. You’ve become downright iconic, Mr. Wheaton. 🙂

  46. Jessika says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    Another YES vote! Preferably one of those “girl cut” type, and also another vote for mini-geeks-in-training!

  47. lisacub says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    I think you need to sell “WWnD” plain white car window decals so people who don’t know what that means will go crazy trying to figure it out and then look it up on the internet = more exposure for you and your writing

  48. sorakirei says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:05 pm

    Yes, please!

  49. Tara says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:05 pm

    Hell ya I’d buy a WWdN tee. Who wouldn’t?
    ~~TARA~~

  50. skrabak says:
    28 January, 2008 at 5:06 pm

    WWdN merchandise would definitely belong a list of things that are awesome.
    However, I should be fair to you by saying I’m a poor college student. So I don’t know whether I’d end up buying anything right away.
