Twinkle on, you crazy minions!

Okay, because I love you guys, and because I sold you short last night, I made you a toy to play with. Yes I did!

I made two new emoticons for use in the comments, the twinkle and the down-twinkle. Apparently, when hippies congregate in large groups and struggle to make decisions, they wiggle their fingers at each other to signal approval or disapproval. No lie.

Here, I’ll let this young lady explain.

I didn’t actually call the emoticons twinkle and down-twinkle, because I’d have to tinker with the WP code (something I wouldn’t mind doing, except I’d have to REdo it every time I patched WordPress), I piggy-backed two existing built-in emoticons instead.

To invoke the twinkle, type the word “shock” with a colon on either side, or make a ‘shock’ face with an 8 followed by a capital O.

To invoke the down-twinkle, type the word “eek” with a colon on either side, or make an ‘eek’ face with a : followed by a lowercase o.

There ya go, wingnuts! Happy disapproving of stuff!

If we can get enough of these going, I’m pretty sure somebody’s going to have an epileptic fit.

Anybody got any good down-twinkle t-shirt ideas? I’m coming up blank.

Shirt ideas? Fug… I’m pretty beat from working on my own line of crap. Sigh….

Something about a trickle down economy Vs twinkle down economics. Hmmm. I like the “twinkle down economics” angle. Throw in a jug ears logo for the sake of relevance….and lil’ glitter bits dancing around the fingers.

And then send me my royalty check after my nap.

I’m a very bad capitalist running dog. When I think of all of us trying to scratch a living out of the mug and t-shirt trade, it just makes me feel…tired.

I was born to go into an office and have somebody tell me what to do.

Seriously, I’ve never seen such people in all my travels around the world. Not only are they mongrels, but they lack Dictation, Ettiquete and obviously really really Smell – badly.
Personal hygeine is the hallmark of civilisation, and these wayward souls should be fed to the Lions.

PS: I’m in such shock over that video I’m off to Queenstown for a week to recover.

What the fudge? You just asked us for shirt ideas and then you got some. Now you’re complaining about being a lazy toffy chewing cubicle drone?

Move to Paris. The ennui and existential angst encountered there should be enough of an irritant to get those creative juices flowing.

The point is, shirtz and mugz are only the tip of the potential marketing iceberg. My site sells bacon grease “pray for islam” votive candles, shootin’ targets with Ted Kennedy’s face on them and we’re even working on a Muhammad shaped dildo, tentatively called “The Modo”.( Technically we should offer it only in childrens sizes but whatever.)

Anyway.

If shirtz and mugz don’t do it for you, come up with a line of sweasle biskits or tar flavored liquorice or whatever you can get in Pommieland.

Your line of crap should reflect the values and…um…some other junk…about your site. Just produce some kitch that you’d want to buy and go sell that.

So there, now I’ve just told you what to do just the way you asked. Any more foreplay like that and I’ll have to ask you put the leather collar on.

The OWS people seem to be an anarcho-syndicalist commune that takes turns being a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two thirds majority in the case of…

Sadly, Oceania, your spelling sucks, in any language. But we only sterilize cats, dogs, some politicians and foreigners with names starting with O. These clods are mostly homegrown, and are not covered by strict animal spay/neuter laws.More’s the pity, really.

So, sadly, I agree with your sentiment too. I am astounded. And a bit nauseated at that thought.

You mean “Vwee soglasen som Noy?” If you’re trying to ask if I agree with you, what with your utterly atrocious pidgin Russian. No, I usually don’t and don’t bother writing about it. And that is all. You don’t use “Tu” as the second person personal pronoun in Russian, that’s “Tee” but spelled in cyrillic it looks different.

And I was Signals, just not Navy. So “F” for you on that account, and my accent is quite good, thank you. Bite me, Oceania.
