Yoda Posted October 9, 2007 Now that we are all suddenly a bunch of jet setter conference attendees, it'd be fun to draw up a taobum tshirt designed to make us really popular around the hotel pool. Â But that's as far as my idea took me. Â Maybe Sean could throw 15 minutes of his expertise towards a design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted October 10, 2007 Great idea. I'd be in. Once designed we could have a member do the shipping or give it to an Online T-shirt shop that specializes in this kind of thing (if they exist) or have a large print out, have people buy and/or share the transfer paper that allows you to iron on (best option?)

Yoda Posted October 10, 2007 there must be some sort of online tshirt shop. Maybe I'll scale back on asking busy Sean for a design and just put out a request for a catchy slogan and we can type it in to tshirt.com or something.:     When there's something strange and it don't look good, who you gonna call?

Sunya Posted October 22, 2007 i don't think a catchy slogan is a good idea. i like something artsy, i really like the logo at the top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer64 Posted October 22, 2007 how about-  "Get in The Way..." - On the front & @ www.taobums.com - On the back  just another two cents- peace to y'all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trunk Posted October 22, 2007 I like both of those.  how many taoists does it take to screw in a light bulb?taobums.com "Get in The Way..." - On the front& @ www.taobums.com - On the back  Yoda's works on levels, inside jokes, two tads and a smidgen to sink in.

Yoda Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks for the kudos on the light bulb one... I like it too. Having a question in the form of a joke may well pull people in to chat possibly. Â The Get in the way would work great for Sean's The Taobums script above. Maybe just add a .com to it and print it in a large size on the back? Nice vibe, fantastic slogan! The only negative is that it seems too nice and too profound for taobums. But it does capture the profound essence at the heart of our work here. Â The problem with a fancy script... would that make things too complicated for the printing and ordering, etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trunk Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks for the kudos on the light bulb one... I like it too. Having a question in the form of a joke may well pull people in to chat possibly. I don't know if you've groked your own triple entendra (sp?). "Light bulb" could refer to "enlightenment", "sex" (at least if you're talking to this group), and "getting our heads in order" ... and the number, is, what?: 53 million and counting? Â I just printed out the symbol for my website on iron-on tshirt photo paper that I got at Staples. It turned out pretty good. Â Â The shortest explanation of it that I just made up: harmony between heaven and earth,union of individual and Divine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted October 22, 2007 Hate to bring up an old ghost, but RJ's (?) original design of a sitting taoist was very good. Â Wonder how he's doing.. Â Â Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda Posted October 22, 2007 Trunk, Â I hadn't grokked (sp?) that angle... how true! Very cool about iron on paper... that sounds like a great angle. What is 53 million? Is that the number of times taobums has come up on google searches?? Â I hope RJ found himself a nice sugar momma... I bet he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trunk Posted October 23, 2007 What is 53 million? Is that the number of times taobums has come up on google searches?? A number I made up, to represent the hit-counter (or maybe number of unique visitors) at TTBs, and still counting at blurred speed. So, that's how many Tao bums it takes to screw in the light bulb.

turbo Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) I like the "get in the way" slogan. Â I feel like a logo would be cool. Something classic but irreverent. Â Â edit: maybe a b.w. montage of some selected avatars. Edited October 24, 2007 by turbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelerner Posted October 25, 2007 I've been visualizing stick figures, some w/ round heads, other squaire or triangular. They're standing standing around a light pole, one is leaning on it. They have t-shirts on w/ slogans. One is sitting, hands in kunlun position. Another in lotus. Â I see Chinese mountains on one side, skyscrapers on the other. If only I could draw...

turbo Posted October 26, 2007 How about a top 10 list?  top ten things i learned lurking at taobums.com 10. few know anything, and none know everything (unless you have a lot of cash and time secret workshops in China) 9. avoid chia 8. meridians should be open 7. drinking pee is ok 6. get your own dan tien - if you can figure out what one is 5. ron jeremy is not just a porn star 4. he who speaks the most says the least 3. keep your tongue up 2. don't forget to breathe 1. never trust a top 10 list  or whatever, we could put some of the better suggestions from above into a top 10 list on the back of the shirt.
