BATZ! - Inappropriate Vetting - Our 100th Post!
emergency, Plathian carbon
monoxide poisoning had never
been a part of my suicidal
ideation roster. "
know deep down that McCain
isn't going to make it, and
they showed up to the
Republican Convention with an
attitude similar to a funeral
for a disliked relative"
Caruso wants to thank everyone
for helping to make BATZ! one
of the most insane, fun places
on Open Salon. There are,
without exaggeration, pages and
pages of friends we never knew
we had. I can't thank you all
enough. Special thanks go to
Kerry Lauterman and Joan Walsh
for putting up with my antics.
So you want BATZ! Merch?
After long deliberation and a
lot of penny rolling I think
it is time we move forward on
this. No I'm not going to Café
Press or any other on-line
vendor. One thing that has
become very clear in the few
months we have been public is
that Open Salon is an artesian
site. So we intend to do as
much of the work ourselves.
But to do that requires some
inventory. Here's what we
plan: limited edition, hand
silk-screened, large, two
color on a light background,
high quality shirts.
But are we crazy?
That's the question, isn't it?
Here's what I need you to do:
enough ratings (no, I'm not
telling you what is "enough" -
that's a secret) then we will
move forward and, with luck
have something in a couple of
weeks. You are not buying
anything now. No one is going
to hold you to anything. I'm
just trying to gauge interest

Nice!
Now you've gone too far. . .
I'll buy it.
Of course I fully expect an Overnight from Salon Media Group lawyers tomorrow . Something along the lines of "Oh no you didn't!"
Sorry Caruso.
Will it help if I buy two T-shirts?
And in honor of the Shameless Commerce department (pace Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers), I have indeed rated you. Besides, you're such a cute kitty. WOOF. WOOF.
