I know, I know, it’s so very wrong.

But that’s precisely why it’s so right!

  2. Man, I wish you COULD get away with literally beating her, Wil. As it is, you’ll just have to crush her on the playing field.

  4. Very cool. You should blog and post a pic of yourself wearing the shirt when it comes. Damn shame the pic in the article isn’t included. hehe

  5. As I said on Fark: That’s really kind of you, but I think it’s all going to be wasted. Even though her blog is just about promotion and she obviously isn’t a blogger in the commonly-accepted sense of the word, she’s got a legion of fans, and I’m sure Britney Incorporated™ is working to ensure she wins, because it’s good publicity.
    I think it’s also very likely that there are a lot of kiddies out there voting Britney for the lulz, which sort of makes the whole thing pretty pointless.

  8. As I was reading this my 20-month old son was sitting next to me watching Sesame Street. He looked over and saw your picture, pointed at you and said, “Pretty Daddy.”
    I’m not sure that that means exactly, but I thought you should know.
    Totally voted for you.

  9. Speaking of the fark comment thread, and of apparel, I’m really surprised no one has cosplayed that sweater yet. If my knitting skills were up to the task, I would totally show up to a con wearing one of those things. It’d be almost as cool as the baconcat costume.

  11. Okay, well, tell you what– if you *do* win, you have to buy the next bag of croissants. If Britney wins, I’ll buy the next chapbook when I see you in Seattle.
    Of course, that does mean you’ll have to make one.
    Get to it, buddy.

  12. The question isn’t “Did you buy it?”, the question is “How many did you buy?”
    I, too, want to see a picture of you in the shirt.

  14. Its ok Wil, I know you’re just trying not to get your hopes up too much. You don’t have to try and put on a brave face, we’re here for you.
    😛 lol

  19. Wil,
    I’ve always had a thing for you, because I’ve always had a thing for the ragingly intelligent geek boys of the universe. Even in my younger days when all my friends thought Wesley Crusher needed to die and die horribly… I was just sitting there with quickening breath saying ‘go boy genius, go’.
    And on that note… I find it somewhat sad, and very wrong that it takes something this simple to get me to comment while I’m still admiring you from afar.
    But, then again, if you heard the comments being thrown about by myself and my Beloved regarding LOLCats this morning… you’d understand that it’s the ‘oh dear god, we’re going to hell’ kind of sense of humor that really drives points home.
    Thank you,
    Srsly, thank you for EVERYTHING you’ve ever done in your life. Thank you.

  20. Oooh, Ril Reaton has ‘blog!
    Didn’t know you were a hater, dear. 🙁 Not that I’m into Miz Spears BUT …..
    I loved you as Mushy Shorts in GTCMS. I think I also saw you pulled over in Retarded Policeman. 🙂 Nice work.

  21. I will use the tshirt to seque my funny story of the week…
    I wore my Wil has a Posse shirt to my staff Christmas party in December, and a staff member a few years younger than me asked me about it. She told me that she was a big fan of Stand By Me back in the day and had pinups of you kicking around her house. I told her about your blog and writing career.
    The first Monday back to school she visited my classroom and told me that she wanted to give me a Christmas present. She opened an envelop and pulled out three of your pinups from good old BOP magazine. I was laughing hysterically, as I hung them on the blackboard. The class looked at us like we were aliens. A few of them had seen Stand By Me when I stopped laughing long enough to explain who you were.

  23. For the first time in history die hard Trekkers and teenage girls are participating in the same thing. Behold, the power of the internet!

  24. Thanks, nextekcarl! I’m okay with Wil’s skepticism. It’s a good bet, and I’m happy to win or lose it.

  28. Wil,
    One of the comments was how much you looked like a young Grissom from C.S.I. with the beard.
    I totally see that. Anyone else?

  32. OK. Speaking of shirts, not that this isn’t excellent, but I just have to say this (because my twitter account is protected so you will never see it there).
    If you really loved us, you would get with Levar Burton and the Penny Arcade guys on making a comic/shirt out of “I come FTW or not at all.”
    Seriously. You have the power to make this happen.

  33. Gidday Wil
    Congrats, but you’re still a tart.
    FYI TOT – just twittering around and according to twitterholic, you’re #23 OUTRIGHT and #4 in LA, (as at now).
    You go girl! …. er …. guy, uh … bloke.
    And a belated Best Wishes for 2009 to you, yours and all Wil followers from Downunder. 😉

  38. Dear. Sweet. Lord…
    I actually looked up Britney’s blog and read part of it. I never actually felt my IQ drop like that before….
    That stuff comes back, right? Right? Hello?
    *shudder*

  41. At the same time, I almost bought a CNN headline shirt the day of the inauguration.
    “Obamas juggle inaugural balls”
    I laughed like a 10 year old on Vault.
