The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS!

[connorsmom911]

connorsmom911 - you don't by any chance remember the Lawson family do you? Or Jennifer Dolan? They might have worked with you?

I do work with a "Lawson" still (kinda), and we have a Jennifer, but not "Dolan"...maiden name maybe? Do I know you? Do you know me?

Ah, heck, we all know eachother now, right? Hello, my name is connorsmom911 and I'm a DIS stalker...

And Shelby...now I just want to crank up the Duran tunes and I can't cause DS is sleeping...ah well, off to bed to dream of John. I really wish I would have kept my stories from years ago...it would have been a hoot to read them now!!! OK, maybe he is SLIGHTLY sexier than Gary (sorry Mel, I'm reminiscing now...I may have to jump ship...it's a REFLEX!! hehehe!!!)

Maelstrom!!!

 

[tink38]

Tink...I think they (you know who) did get you know what'ed from here. I saw that she posted on someones thread the other day but on the thread nothing shows up. Something went on I know that much on the TR Board but I have been to afraid to ask her what went on. I thought it was weird and all of her stuff is GONE

Well, that BITES. And all I have to say about it is - "WE WANTS A SHRUBBERY!"

 

[javamom]

Okay, now what about us peeps with antiquated printers? I have a canon bubblejet 200. I know this won't work for me. Any ideas?

That is a very good question, actually. See, I am not sure if a local screen printer would print it for you or not, that whole Disney licensing thing again. I would call and ask, but before I did that... I would beg a friend, neighbor, co-worker to let me use their printer instead.

 

[javamom]

I could make a slightly smaller version of the file to use on child size shirts... thataway you won't have to know anything about resizing the image for those little chests. Just lemme know.

First I have to print my own transfer to see if everything is good to go and it looks good once ironed on. Can't have my DIS Maelstromer friends running around in faded, hokey-lookin' tshirts, now can I?

 

[HaleyB]

Is a Fastpass

Hey HaleyB ....I just realized somthing, we could have our very own DISmeet. I live just up the road from you in Pflugerville!!!! How 'bout them apples?

Hook 'Em Horns!!

Extra cool. Someone else around here is from the Austin area too.

 

[HaleyB]

I think it is ok to confirm that Del's Wife can not post here any more. I am not sure about Zurg but I bet if she got into trouble he was right there with her, lol. Two very talented writers who write great trip reports. They just post them somewhere else now.

I think that board is a banned word here, but that is not something I am sure about. If I try to PM a link it goes all *******.com on me.

Javamon, you so totally rock, dude.

I love it. If anyone finds a screen printer that will do these please IM me.

Does anyone know of a transfer paper that will look matte instead of all reflective when you use it???? Cause I was not so pleased with the shirts I made for MNSSHP.

Sounds good, Javamom. Let us know how the trial run goes! I actually am with ya on the iron on thing. I made lots of shirts for our last trip. DHFW and I went Clipart Crazy.


Oh, and SHELBY5514: What's your secret, sister? How do you hook up with all the hot men? Love that picture with Rob Thomas. DH saw your pic with JT and like Pongo, had the nerve to ask who he was. My older sis would've probably slapped him outta his chair because she was Soooo in love with him in the 80s. We shared a room and her wall was plastered with JT and Simon LeBon and my side was plastered with Wham! and Rob Lowe. Was he hot or what back then? Anyway, let us in on your secret.

We want to meet famous hot celebrities toooooooo.

I always try to trim off the unnecessary extra and just leave about a 1/2 inch around the image to decrease that effect.

Someone once told me that if you are printing on white, make all the negative space white (assuming you can even print white, not sure). Really they said match the negative space to the tee shirt color. Does anyone know if that helps?

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Woweeeeee!!!!! Those shirts are great!!!! I just jumped around the kitchen squealing like my husband usually does. Sometimes. I just did it in a more masculine way, though. The SHIRTS ROCK!!!!!! LIKE, well, like Gary!!!! Thank you Coffee/Software Lady!!!! You are amazing. Can we put them on black t-shirts too? Or just white? I would like the ones for kids, too. 'Cause I'm makin' is 5 to wear. Heh, heh. Shhhhh. Don't tell Mellyman.

Anyhow... I gotta go ta bed. But... I'll share with you a story which I plan to post on the TR Board. Calvin wrote it. He does his Mama proud. Gotta say.

Here we go:

A Story By Calvin happyhaunt: "The beach is a fun place to visit on a hot day. You can bring your surfboard at the beach. And go swimming. You can also rent a poop bowl. Or a gnarly cat. You can sail far away. But, the very coolest thing to do is grab your rocking surf board and hit the waves. First you paddle out until you see 15 waves bigger than a grape. Then you hop up on your bones and now your surfin' just like the old surf pro we call "Goofyfoot Mommy". Just remember the beach is a fun place and there's nothing like U.S.A. surfin' DUDE! By Calvin."

I'm so proud. I think. I'm just joking about posting it on the TR Board. Please...!!!!! He might get more hits than Vettechick. Heh, heh.

P.S. Goofyfoot Mommy! Ha! I DID NOT KNOW they all call me that...! Ya learn somethin' every day!

Good night my lovely Maelstromers!

Good Lord, woman! Don't you see that I am living in the middle of Baptist country and I know NO ONE here? No color printer at work, either. We live in the woods. Hook a sista up. (Sorry. That was from my New Orleans days. )

OOOh. DH just told me he has access to a color printer. Kewl. Alright. I'm good. Going to bed soon. I think. I still wants a shrubbery, though.

 

[javamom]

"regular" printing of white is just, 0 or no print. It assumes white as the background surface.

If you want to place an image on a colored tee, yes it is best to "try' to match the backgound, but that is actually more difficult than it sounds. You can try the transfer paper that is for dark colors, but I have found that you still will have that effect there too. The same rules apply there, trim as much of the unprinted space as possible while still leaving enough extra to still get good adhesion of the image.

And again, of course, be sure to read the instructions that come with the paper.

*ok end of boring printing tutorial, we return yout o your previously scheduled... MAELSTROM! ***

 

[horsegirl]

Good Googly Goo, Maelstromers!



No, I never had a pet rock. But does a Chia Pet count? I think those may have been even freakier than a pet rock. Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia

My big bwudder shaves his head and we had this little jokey joke that if I gave his dome alittle rub he would sing Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!, and I had a pet rock and a banana seat on my bike.


Javamom-you're one talented chic, cooley keen design!

Grammyof2-OMG that post was sooooooooo funny!

HaleyB-Now I know why people told me I'd like your report, you rockin' outlaw you! the bippped website can you somehow do this in a secret codey kind of way?

Tink-did this board make you feel better, cuz that image you gave me of turning the sculture baby head forward was a doozydoo!

 

[javamom]

Great, glad that everyone likes 'em!

Can we put them on black t-shirts too? Or just white?

In a word, no. Now, I "could" be persuaded to make an "on black" version.... ;-) But lemme get the regular version first...lol

I would like the ones for kids, too. 'Cause I'm makin' is 5 to wear. Heh, heh. Shhhhh. Don't tell Mellyman.

Nevah! My lips are sealed.

Youngest DS's teacher showed me his report on "What I Did During Spring Break" it was a paragraph of: I slept and slept and slept.... a whole paragraph. His teacher adores him. He is a crack-up, and he's only in kindergarten. She said usually we don't see that sort of creative assignment dodging until the 8th grade. We both laughed and then I told her that he was actually being very factual because that is pretty much what he did - sleep and more sleep.


On a not-so-good note, my DD that is newly diagnosed with dyslexia will likely not be going to 2nd grade next year. They are probably going to recommend that she stays in 1st for another year... with her brother going into 1st next year, this is not going to go over so good. But, I think they may be right and it may be for the best for her.

javamom - your design is wonderful!

For you (but it is long):

Customer: Good Morning.
Owner: Good morning, Sir. Welcome to the National Cheese Emporium!
Customer: Ah, thank you, my good man.
Owner: What can I do for you, Sir?
Customer: Well, I was, uh, sitting in the public library on Thurmon Street just now, skimming through Rogue Herrys by Hugh Walpole, and I suddenly came over all peckish.
Owner: Peckish, sir?
Customer: Esuriant.
Owner: Eh?
Customer: 'Ee, ah wor 'ungry-loike!
Owner: Ah, hungry!
Customer: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, "a little fermented curd will do the trick," so, I curtailed my Walpoling activites, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!
Owner: Come again?
Customer: I want to buy some cheese.
Owner: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the bazouki player!
Customer: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse!
Owner: Sorry?
Customer: 'Ooo, Ah lahk a nice tuune, 'yer forced too!
Owner: So he can go on playing, can he?
Customer: Most certainly! Now then, some cheese please, my good man.
Owner: (lustily) Certainly, sir. What would you like?
Customer: Well, eh, how about a little red Leicester.
Owner: I'm, a-fraid we're fresh out of red Leicester, sir.
Customer: Oh, never mind, how are you on Tilsit?
Owner: I'm afraid we never have that at the end of the week, sir, we get it fresh on Monday.
Customer: Tish tish. No matter. Well, stout yeoman, four ounces of Caerphilly, if you please.
Owner: Ah! It's beeeen on order, sir, for two weeks. Was expecting it this morning.
Customer: 'T's Not my lucky day, is it? Aah, Bel Paese?
Owner: Sorry, sir.
Customer: Red Windsor?
Owner: Normally, sir, yes. Today the van broke down.
Customer: Ah. Stilton?
Owner: Sorry.

Owner: No.
Customer: Any Norweigan Jarlsburg, per chance.
Owner: No.
Customer: Lipta?
Owner: No.
Customer: Lancashire?
Owner: No.
Customer: White Stilton?
Owner: No.
Customer: Danish Brew?
Owner: No.
Customer: Double Goucester?

Customer: Cheshire?
Owner: No.
Customer: Dorset Bluveny?
Owner: No.
Customer: Brie, Roquefort, Pol le Veq, Port Salut, Savoy Aire, Saint Paulin, Carrier de lest, Bres Bleu, Bruson?
Owner: No.
Customer: Camenbert, perhaps?
Owner: Ah! We have Camenbert, yessir.
Customer: (suprised) You do! Excellent.
Owner: Yessir. It's..ah,.....it's a bit runny...
Customer: Oh, I like it runny.
Owner: Well,.. It's very runny, actually, sir.
Customer: No matter. Fetch hither the fromage de la Belle France! Mmmwah!
Owner: I...think it's a bit runnier than you'll like it, sir.
Customer: I don't care how ****ing runny it is. Hand it over with all speed.
Owner: Oooooooooohhh........! (pause)
Customer: What now?
Owner: The cat's eaten it.
Customer: (pause) Has he.
Owner: She, sir.
Customer: (pause) Gouda?
Owner: No.
Customer: Edam?
Owner: No.
Customer: Case Ness?
Owner: No.
Customer: Smoked Austrian?
Owner: No.
Customer: Japanese Sage Darby?
Owner: No, sir.
Customer: You...do *have* some cheese, don't you?
Owner: (brightly) Of course, sir. It's a cheese shop, sir. We've got--
Customer: No no... don't tell me. I'm keen to guess.
Owner: Fair enough.
Customer: Uuuuuh, Wensleydale.
Owner: Yes?
Customer: Ah, well, I'll have some of that!
Owner: Oh! I thought you were talking to me, sir. Mister Wensleydale, that's my name.
Customer: (pause) Greek Feta?
Owner: Uh, not as such.
Customer: Uuh, Gorgonzola?
Owner: No.
Customer: Parmesan,
Owner: No.
Customer: Mozarella,
Owner: No.
Customer: Paper Cramer,
Owner: No.
Customer: Danish Bimbo,
Owner: No.
Customer: Czech sheep's milk,
Owner: No.
Customer: Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?
Owner: Not *today*, sir, no.
Customer: (pause) Aah, how about Cheddar?
Owner: Well, we don't get much call for it around here, sir.
Customer: Not much ca-- it's the single most popular cheese in the world!
Owner: Not 'round here, sir.
Customer: (slight pause) and what IS the most popular cheese 'round hyah?
Owner: 'Illchester, sir.
Customer: IS it.
Owner: Oh, yes, it's staggeringly popular in this manor, squire.
Customer: Is it.
Owner: It's our number one best seller, sir!
Customer: I see. Uuh...'Illchester, eh?
Owner: Right, sir.
Customer: All right. Okay. 'Have you got any?' he asked, expecting the answer 'no'.
Owner: I'll have a look, sir........nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno.
Customer: It's not much of a cheese shop, is it?
Owner: Finest in the district!
Customer: (annoyed) Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.
Owner: Well, it's so clean, sir!
Customer: It's certainly uncontaminated by cheese....
Owner: (brightly) You haven't asked me about Limburger, sir.
Customer: Would it be worth it?
Owner: Could be....
Customer: Have you --SHUT THAT BLOODY BAZOUKI OFF!
Owner: Told you sir....
Customer: (slowly) Have you got any Limburger?
Owner: No.
Customer: Figures.Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism to have posed the question in the first place. Tell me:
Owner: Yessir?
Customer: (deliberately) Have you in fact got any cheese here at all.
Owner: Yes, sir.
Customer: Really?
(pause)
Owner: No. Not really, sir.
Customer: You haven't.
Owner: Nosir. Not a scrap. I was deliberately wasting your time, sir.
Customer: Well I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot you.
Owner: Right-Oh, sir.
(The customer takes out a gun and shoots the owner)
Customer: What a *senseless* waste of human life.

One of the funniest skits of all time....

I do work with a "Lawson" still (kinda), and we have a Jennifer, but not "Dolan"...maiden name maybe? Do I know you? Do you know me?

I am John and Mary Lawson's niece and Jennifer Ferris's nee Dolan's cousin... - so we don't know each other but it's one degree of separation, except I have never been in a movie with Kevin Bacon...


Let me know if it was they (them?) that you worked with!

 

[pongoperdigirl]

Ok....I created a thread on "the board that shall not be named" come out of the woodwork and show yourselves.

 

[javamom]

ROFL, thanks for posting the Cheese skit. Somewhere in the top third it started coming back to me. Classic!
Ah. British humour, ye either love it or 'ate it!
