Shameless Self-Promotion

tshirt_cafe.jpg OK, so I have been thinking about this for a while, and I decided to give it a try. For all of you (Mom) who have been waiting with baited breath to purchase items with the random thinks logo on it...I present the random thinks stuff store @ cafepress.com.

Yes, you can be the first on your block to own a random thinks t-shirt, baseball cap, bumper sticker, or any of the 9 other products on the site. That's right sports fans, an even dozen items to satisfy your craving for stuff you really do not need.

OK, seriously. I thought this might be amusing. I have been trying to find a reasonably priced place around here to get some bumper stickers made that I could give out for fun. And, unless I want to buy 250 of them, they are way too expensive. Through this shop, I can get just the handful that I wanted, at a less than exhorbitant price. If anybody buys anything, I get a small profit. I promised myself that I would not put ads or banners on this site, because I am not into this (blogging) for the money. I consider the cost of the service from TypePad an investment in a hobby and my sanity.

I am reasonably certain that I will be this shops biggest customer, but...you never know.

I dig the concept...and will be sure to check it out. If only my site had a logo. One of these days I'll move it over to TypePad or some such service.

May you make muchos money (even though it isn't your goal).

You'll have to go to the store to see what is on the back of the shirt... ;)

What, no thong? I'm shocked. But I ordered a bumper sticker anyway. Man, you suckered me out of a bunch of money today! First I end up owing you a $5 gc because you knew a lyric of mine, and now I'm buying bumperstickers. Gee. This is what I get for being your ex-wife I guess. :)
