We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you exciting news…..
The official one-and-only PiratePooh t-shirt is here at last!!!!!!!
Yes, you heard me right. A PiratePooh t-shirt!!
Let me say that one more time. A PiratePooh t-shirt!!
Ok, take a deep breath and get yourself together. Breathe into a paper bag if necessary. Take a shot of whiskey. Watch some Family Guy. Relax. I know you are super-excited but try and calm down. If you have a heart attack and keel over you won’t get to enjoy your t-shirt.
How do you get one of these t-shirts? Well, first let me tell you about them and then I will tell you how to get one. Over the years I have made the occasional reference in my blogs to t-shirts that didn’t exist. I always wanted to have a blog t-shirt but I just never got to the point where I could have them printed up for all the people who read my blogs. Now even more people are reading my blogs so what to do now? Well, I am capitalist. Therefore, the only answer is to sell them at a nice profit!!!
It is a high-quality t-shirt but to keep the cost low it is one color and doesn’t have any fancy artwork. What it does have, and what makes it a must own item, is a Top 10 List that doesn’t appear anywhere except on The Official PiratePooh T-shirt!!!
Wow!!!! Most of you new readers don’t know this but the feature item of my blogs used to be the Top 10 Lists. I have to say they were pretty darn funny. Since you have to keep things fresh I eventually moved on to other things. However, they were such a big part of so many blogs that it seemed like a natural fit to put them on the first of what I hope to be many PiratePooh t-shirts.
Authors note: A lot of you know that Top Ten Lists can be a little racy. Please rest assured that this is a PG rated shirt and can be worn anywhere. I was planning on putting a picture of the shirt on the website but I decided I want to keep the Top10 List exclusive to Official PiratePooh T-shirt owners. You do not want to be left out!!
How do you get one of these wonderful t-shirts? I’m glad you asked! The t-shirt is $25 and includes shipping via US Postal Service anywhere in the Continental United States. If any of my international readers want to order a shirt (and I hope you do!!) I will figure out the most reasonable shipping based on your location.
I realize $25 isn’t exactly cheap for a t-shirt. I did not order hundreds of these shirts to get a great discount. They will actually be printed every two weeks and only the necessary quantities needed to fulfill the orders will be made. Because of this they are costly to have made but it does insure the value of your shirt will rise over the years as there will not be many in circulation!
Order one for a friend! Order one for a stranger! These make great Christmas presents!
How does payment work? Another good question. I am not a business and don’t have a website with nifty secure servers to accept credit cards and such. I do have a PayPal account and can send you an invoice which you can then pay by credit card as a guest or through your own paypal account. If you don’t know what PayPal is, check out www.paypal.com. They can explain it better than I can. Alternately, you are welcome to mail me a check or money order.
If you want a shirt, email me at russellyale@piratepooh.com with your shirt size. The shirts are 100% cotton Haines Beefy-Ts. This ain’t Amazon and there is no rush shipping. I will place the first order on Tuesday October 30. The shirts will arrive in 2 weeks. Once your shirt arrives I will email you and you can tell me whether you would like a paypal invoice or would prefer to mail your payment. I will then ship the shirt via US Postal Service with a tracking number.
The more astute of you will have noticed that I now own the domain www.piratepooh.com. Yay!!!! Lots of exciting things happening in PiratePooh world. At this time the website is simply my blog but I hope to one day have pictures of my world travels as well as a classic blog section for those who missed some good stuff or maybe some of you who read the old blogs would like to read again. If you have any website suggestions feel free to email me. In fact, email me with any comments you may have. Let’s be friends!!
To thank you for all your support I am giving away one free PiratePooh t-shirt. To win you must make up the best line to finish off the following poem and email it to russellyale@piratepooh.com before Monday October 29 at midnight. The winner will be published in an upcoming blog!
I want a free shirt from PiratePooh
Something cool to wear when I drink a brew
To wipe my hands on when I eat some wings
It’s an awesome shirt that’s fit for a king
Should I give PiratePooh a big fat kiss?
Just the thought of that fills me with bliss
I know what I’ll do so he’ll give it to me
