Bash Shirts

[jeff]

I'm contemplating offering t-shirts again during the Bash in February 2016.

They were popular last year - I shipped almost 150.

Let me know what style you'd prefer.

 

[D.Oliver]

I like the one that says "Derek Oliver: Making Ed and Bob look bad since 2011", but I'm also okay with the one that says "When I grow up, I want to be Derek Oliver". I know Ed, Bob, and Mike are all fans of that shirt.:biggrin:

 

[mredburn]

Derek, Your's would have to say " Derek Oliver -Entry Stealing Varmit"

 

[D.Oliver]

Derek, Your's would have to say " Derek Oliver -Entry Stealing Varmit"

You're still bitter about that?:tongue:

 

[Dalecamino]

Can I get one with my famous avatar on it

 

[Heartwoodturning]

I would need a long sleeved shirt in cold, cold, England where the sun never shines

 

[pianomanpj]

I, too, vote for the long sleeve shirt (no pocket). Summers in Maine seem to be getting shorter...

What.... what did I do? LOL

What is Summer? I heard a rumour about it once. I'm sure I saw one when I was little but it was likely to be my imagination - you know how kids are!

 

[Skie_M]

I keep wondering if it's gonna snow .... 20 years now, in Oklahoma, and it hasn't even gotten cold yet.

I still freak my neighbors out when I go out to get the mail BAREFOOT AND T-SHIRT WITH SHORT PANTS in 2 feet of snow... then they find out that I grew up in Alaska.

 

[Sabaharr]

If you want to know what summer is come on down here to New Orleans in August. It is getting colder here though. Back in 2000 it snowed on New Years Eve. I counted 11 snowflakes.
Needless to say I would vote short sleeve, no pocket.

 

[Cmiles1985]

Being that I'm in South Texas, short sleeve is essential. I like the idea of a pocket so I can carry a pen

 

[jeff]

OK, thanks for the input, folks.

I am a little surprised that pockets on t-shirts are so popular. I've always found them useless for carrying anything in. Too floppy, and the hem that's usually at the top of the pocket makes getting a clip on and off a real pain. Maybe pocket technology has improved since I had a t-shirt with a pocket.

Perhaps I'll have to get some of each...

 

[Brian G]

Where else would you keep the best wood chips and shavings if you didn't have a t-shirt with a pocket.

I've been looking bad LONG before 2011 so as usual, you're running behind. Just in case anyone forgot, a few months ago the Summer Extravaganza had a few contests.
1) Turning Challenged - 8 entries
2) Slimline - 7 entries
3) Ball Point Pen - 23 entries

Does anyone remember who ran those first two contests? Hmmmm and those 15 people told me they stuck around so you wouldn't be lonely!

Send me the shirt. I'll wear it although no one will believe it~

 

[jeff]

Please vote in the t-shirt poll if you have not already.

Work great for my cigarette lighter. Also if it's a plain T shirt without a pocket it looks like you're out in your underwear and forgot your shirt....unless it's sleevless.

 

[edstreet]

I was considering making one that said "I got bashed at the bash" a few years ago.

 

[hcpens]

Heartwoodturning, it is called a SUN Lamp, you can get them on the web.

 

[Rick_G]

Collars are good as well. Seat belt does not chaff the neck when driving. I wear short sleeved all year round preferably with pocket. Need someplace to keep the pen.

It was just about 30 years ago we tried to frack a well just north of you, all night. The temp was 30 below. The product was water based. We burned up $65,000 worth of starter motors getting the diesels running. We never got the water to pump through the cold iron (dangerous at 10,000 psi). Went home after 5 hours.

 

[Skie_M]

Hmmm .... yeah, my first year in OK was 1992 ... I was in high school.

Before that, I spent about a year in Kansas, where I was born ... 8 years in Alaska, 4 years in Virginia, and 4 years in Alaska. My dad was military, so we went all over the place .... I don't remember my formative years, but I hear stories about Death Valley, CA, Korea, and Pennsylvania ...

 

[TurtleTom]

I don't remember my formative years

Sounds like something Yogi would say.

 

[Smitty37]

I once was forced to attend a motivational class for managers where I worked. The upshot of what we were being told was "You are what you were at age 10 - 12" I can't remember being that age so I guess I'll never know what I am.

 

[TurtleTom]

Yeah, and they told us our peer group was our most valuable possession. These jerks? I've been had again.

I was in New Orleans (OK, Metairie technically) for Christmas 2004 when we had well over eleven snow flakes...here's a shot I took back then because how often do you get snow on a palm tree?

As for shirts with pockets, we're turners...pockets fill up very quickly with shavings of whatever we're turning...definitely prefer no pockets!

Bob, what's your shirt size? If you'll wear it, I'll go find some shirts:biggrin:

In February 1967 (maybe 1966) I spent a week in Rochester MN and they had a few snowflakes (not as much as Rochester NY but about 2 feet on the ground) but I don't think it got even close to going above -20 F the whole week I was there.
