Interestingly enough, I used to work as an environmental educator, and I had to wear one of three shirts from the Hudson River Parks Conservancy. By the time I left the job, all three of the shirts smelled distinctly lik eel, because that's all anyone caught by fishing in the Hudson, and I would have to unhook the eels and throw them back several times each day. I threw out the shirts long ago, but I will attest to the fact that the smell sticks to shirts forever. |
|

Everyone does promotional t-shirts. Why can't the HalfBakery have promotional HalfBakery socks? Even HalfBakery underwear would be good. |
|
| |
If it's going to smell like something related to the Halfbakery, it would have to be fish. Why, I understand that in Paraguay... |
|
| |
Halfbakery Bakery? Promotional baked products? Give them away at rock festivals. |
|
| |
Thing: an organized troll campaign- possibly Halfbakery's largest ever- launched the "ties that smell like fish" idea, and all voted for it. (What, you think there are actually 25 people who think fish-scented ties are a good idea?) |
|
| |
Anyway, the way they identified to each other who was in on the joke was to gratuitously insert a reference to a country, hence the "Paraguay" reference. |
|
| |
Jutta caught on to their little scheme, of course. |
|
| |
I like the idea of halfbakery socks. I already have plenty of weird T-shirts, but custom socks are weird enough that I might actually get a pair. There seem to be lots of people who will make custom socks (usually for sports teams); I've added links to a few. |
|
| |
No one keen on my HalfBakery underwear idea then? |
|
| |
I'm off to purchase some halfbakery underwear immeadiately, will Cod liver oil work? |
|
| |
HalfBakery stick-on tattoo, anyone? |
|
| |
I was going to add the idea of a Halfbakery Handshake (after all, the Masons have a secret sign), but I like the shirt idea better, especially if it has your individual halfbakery nom-de-guerre (?) printed just below the croissant. I already have interesting socks, thank you. |
|
| |
Baked. (White; front: croissant, "halfbakery.com", "It's not just a good idea, it's also .. some bad ones."; back: black ink illustrations for the 11 top ideas of October 2000. No, they're not available in eel.) |
|
| |
See the last link for ordering details. |
|
| |
Any chance you could post a photo of the shirt front and
back? |
|
| |
Is this not the first time that anything physical has come of a Halfbakery suggestion? Should we throw a shower? |
|
| |
Excellent! - and what is this "mild cartoon nudity" of which you speak? |
|
| |
Just look at the logo! There's a croissant there, and it's not wearing ANYTHING! <grin> Not even a cream-cheese ring... |
|
| |
The merchandise page is now illustrated. Click on any of the thumbnails to get a reasonable-sized version of the artwork. |

Thanks for the accolades. Zippyanna, the female T's are about half way between baby doll and regular; you'll probably prefer them to the unisex ones. |
|
| |
Yay. [sings over and over] I'm getting an apron. |
|
| |
sounds good to me.
the plate with half a croissant on it w/the lil fifty cent
sign. "two crumbs up!" i'd get one. |
|
| |
jutta, any thought of implementing DrBob's suggestion of adding our halfbakery names to the shirts for a nominal fee? |
|
| |
I'll do it. Send me a shirt, $20, and a permanent marker in the color of your choosing. |
|
| |
Ooh! Ooh! That sounds like a great deal! |
|
| |
you didn't offer the hb handshake? shame on you! |
