Hoping he still has the vectored high-res version of our logo on file, so that I can get my two tester articles of clothing made from the store on Queen I&#8217;m scoping out. I&#8217;ve ordered a shirt and a hoodie. They&#8217;re not silkscreeners, they use laser printing, so they can make me one test run so that I can decide if I like their work or not. Laser also means they can shrink or enlarge the size of my logo at will, change colours easily, and I&#8217;m not restricted to any one type of clothing for staff. So, for example, if Sarrah wants a cap sleeve raglan but Ian wants a tank top, we could in theory accomodate both of them. Which leaves a lot of options open for having happy, funkily-dressed, yet easily identifyable staff on the floor. Also gives the Snail kind of a funky edge. Same logo on different clothes. It&#8217;s regimented, but not absurdly so.<\/p>\n<p><b>Revised list of creatures I want to sculpt from clay, then create resin molds of and cast into 20&#8243; tall stone garden decor:<\/b><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/thescarymonkeyshow.com\/bios\/gnomes.jpg\">Zim&#8217;s robot garden gnomes<\/a> from the TV show &#8216;Invader Zim&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ic-net.or.jp\/home\/ab-h127182\/images\/totoro.jpg\">Totoro<\/a> from the Japanese anime &#8216;My Neighbor Totoro&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8211; Farnsworth&#8217;s gargoyle <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qtf.info\/captainhowdy\/wallpaper\/EXORCIST_pazuzu1024x768.jpg\">Pazuzu&#8217;s<\/a> baby from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twiztv.com\/scripts\/futurama\/futurama507.htm\">episode #507<\/a> of the TV show &#8216;Futurama&#8217; (I really liked this episode because Pazuzu is the same gargoyle-demon that is seen in the Exorcist, and also appears in the second comic book in an NBM series about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adeleblancsec.org\">a woman named Adele Blanc-Sec<\/a> who solves paranormal mysteries in 1800s Paris)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want a rum and coke.
