Um. I haven't been here in a long time. But I used to be a cool kid, I swear.
I just wanted to say that I'm super excited that Joy of Text got picked up as this big official thing and crap like that. It was definitely one of my favorite things that the bloggers pulled off in the past. So YAY, you guys! I'm super proud of you. (Even though all the newfangled inkity-type style things totally intimidate me. I don't even know what "simulated process" means.)
This list isn't meant to be all-inclusive, but if you're looking to start voting, this might be the place to start.
 It was the Elton specs that did it for me.  I love the patterns here. The colors are great, and apparently I really like teeth.  Dude, how bizarre is this? I love yellow shirts. Do they look good on me? I don't know, and I don't care.  It's squishy and blue and has the word "ectoplasm." What is there to dislike?  Peas and carrots like you've never seen them before.  The look on the cat's face makes me indescribably happy.  Monsters in a roller-shoe! I have no idea!  Gets a mention for the gutsy opening statement: "I'm not losing the text." Suck it, votards!  Simple and surprisingly pretty.  I love how the admission text is the last, gasping breath of the broken lightbulb.  Prettiest iced-over ballon I've ever seen.  It grew on me.  The picture of the design on the hoody—omgasm.  I love text on shirts with a fiery, burning passion. This is awesome, ace, terrific, and who knows what else.  Mezo creeps me out again! But in a good way.  This shirt was made in heaven by little angelic silkworms. Not really, but it's awesome anyway.  More crazy glasses! I'm developing an eyewear fetish.  This is orange and creepy. I love it.  Cute. But AWESOME, too.
  After months of stoically using Illustrator, I've discovered that I really like photoshop. I'm much more comfortable with Illustrator now than I was when I started, but I feel like I'm just not organised enough to make good use of it... It seems to require planning and forethought that I generally can't muster. Bah!
I tried to submit a slogan just now, and got not one, but two errors
1. Your slogan is too long, it can be 65 characters, it is 12characters too long 2. Oh My. Your slogan has naughty words in it. I had no idea Threadless screened for that! Way to go, guys. Even if it sometimes catches things in the wrong context, you're probably saving everyone a lot of tedium. The attempted slogan in question: If I were an Ophthalmologist-cum-plumber, I would put "U" and "eye" together. (What? It makes me giggle...)
The comments for this submission
 ...don't match up with the submission itself. It seems like most of them are actually directed to another submission (this one?) by the same artist. There was also a post on Bramish's recent Lord of the Flies submission that was obviously referring to something other than the design it was posted under. (It's the post after herky's, and it doesn't make sense.) Has anyone else noticed problems with this?
 These are the awesomest raindrops ever. You know, just so you're aware.
On the Select catalog page:
Also, any Threadless designer who wins the competition 4 or more times will be invited to design a Threadless Select tee! Didn't that used to be three? When did it change?
His name is Lyle! I made him out of socks! And thread! And buttons!
   Silly but fun. EDIT: OH! And my kid sister's design ends today, so y'all should go give her some positive feedback, because she's awesome and she deserves it!
