Dream-Crushing, Soul-Devouring Juggernaut Shirts

[Trotsky]

maybe I should have picked a more popular name like Sophia. :-P

I'm sure that list reshuffles every time a Nora Roberts novel comes out.

Meanwhile, Ithaca businesses are celebrating the Cornell's men's basketball team's advancement to the Sweet 16 with discounts for students. "Revenge of the Nerds" discounts include:...
* Half-price entrees at Max's Classic American Grill & Sports Bar for customers wearing nerdy Buddy Holly glasses.

If Max's tried that in Williamsburg they'd be bankrupt before the end of the dinner rush.

No, it's screennames as their real names or nothing!

Wait, everybody hasn't had their names legally changed to their screen names??? ::uhoh::

I have.  ::popcorn::

It probably wasn't the weirdest thing they've ever seen at City Hall, but adding '82 on a name change application was probably a unique touch.

So for those of us who didn't go with express shipping, is regular shipping UPS ground?

No idea.  I figured express gave me the best chance of getting them by tomorrow, plus I have this disposable wad of $20 bills that I like to throw Cornell's way whenever possible. ::rolleyes::

I didn't receive any tracking information, so I was shocked when I heard they were delivered this morning.  Maybe you'll be lucky too.

I just had someone in Ithaca buy them for me, so he could bring them to Albany for me.  Avoids the whole shipping cost thing.  Yay, big brother!!  ::cheer::

I can't wear the red this weekend (superstition) so it didn't matter if I got them before or after the weekend. I did remember that anything shipped UPS Ground from NY State usually arrives in DC after 2 days so it has me wondering if I'll still get it all before the weekend.

I'm hoping to get one in CA by Friday after ordering Tuesday, but realizing the odds are probably against me.  But I ain't paying $27 for express shipping.

Hello all, I wanted to let you know that I got an e-mail from Jeff today about the IJ interview.  It was more based on the Sweet 16 shirts and licensing issues.  He was trying to tell her he needed to get off the phone to deliver the Juggernaut shirts, and she took that to use.  Below is what he sent me:

Good Morning.......just having time to get to see how all received on
elynah.  Based on the fact the the shirts were just finished being boxed,
and needed to get over to Cornell ASAP at 12:30......guess when the call
from the IJ came in?   Way too much rushed discussion about all the
licensing things and how that all works.  Why we couldn't print Sweet
Sixteen and how we planned ahead for ECAC and got them out on Monday (they
took pic Monday afternoon).  That was the actual topic of the interview.

So.....as I was trying to wrap up to make shirt delivery I was starting to
explain why I had to cut the conversation short and guess what ends up as
the lead in.  She took the whole whirlwind conversation and there you
go.....

Thanks for sharing that, Munchkin. It's good to know that Jeff was not intentionally trying to take credit. Some had suggested that the issue may have been what the reporter chose to use vs. omit, and I'm glad to see that basically that's exactly what happened.

Well I'll be at the Crown Plaza this weekend, but trust me.. I'm pulling for the Big Red and I'll follow that crowd. A few rounds Friday, anybody? (And hopefully Saturday too...)

Ordered my shirts around 11:00am yesterday and they were on the doorstep at 3:00 this afternoon. They look great. Thanks to those of you who put this together. Great job!
