um... might i presume to participate in the illustration generating here ? maybe i could draw a fish for that one. it could be ironically elegant like a japanese koi and then people would be even more confused.

I'd love to have your elegant koi, Z-chan.

Another attempt: "Your right to free speech does not entail my participation in the audience."

Or maybe "membership in the audience." Something like that.

"The blue one, next to the fish" was a poll option on an US poll/thread. There is no visualization. Visualization isn't possible. Although I think we also discovered that the blue one next to the fish is actually, in real life, a lawyer.

well i'm sorry, i'm not going to volunteer to draw a lawyer. either it's a fish sort of reminiscent of a japanese koi, or it's just text.

but now that you mention it, wasn't "the blue one, next to the fish" actually first used in yet another poll, before it became a mandatory option in every poll ? hmm, time to do a search...

just as i thought, the blue one next to the fish predates *both* those polls (not by much) and actually first appears here.

well i wasn't planning to work on it tonight, and i'm not sure if you're in a hurry or not, but my fish was going to look a lot like your fish only, you know, vectorial and red and orange gradient coloured. so if you want it for right away that fish looks good to me. black is good too. (can we have some dark-coloured t-shirts please ? i never wear white.)

I'm in no hurry, Z-chan. I'll do some of the other designs first, and you can send along your fishy whenever it's ready.

All shirts will be offered in both dark and light colors, and many styles as well (for those who prefer spaghetti straps, "sweatshirt" weight fabric, long vs. short sleeves, etc.) We can also have mousepads, buttons, mugs, and other silly goodness.

CafePress makes it easy to try to please everyone.

There is, however, a small monthly fee associated with being able to offer multiple designs on multiple t-shirt styles, so I'll probably put a nominal markup on each shirt, just so I don't have the Financial Guy (my beloved husband) coming and asking me why I'm spending money on yet another wacky project. I'm thinking either 50 cents or $1 per shirt. Would that be ok? You folks were all very generous about the llama (look for llama-related shirts and other goodies!) and I don't want to be seen as taking advantage of you. Just cover the $6/month that CafePress charges to keep the site open.

that seems reasonable to me. we wouldn't want something as irritating and daisy-stomping as *money* getting in the way of a wacky project.

i can't wait to see the llama-related shirts !!
