There’s all sorts of things to get now. Back when they started it was just a few shirts and such. Now it includes steins, frisbees and thongs - and of course we’ve got one of each.
Uhhh…good luck marks? Perhaps someone was wearing them when they played their brand new full set for the first time and got a little too excited? Maybe they got sent back and then shipped out again??
I may have to work up a graphic for one of the mugs that has the reed phrase on it - great stuff! My only real disappointment however was that the SLPC’s mascott, a cantankerous old llama named Baxter, wasn’t represented in the clothing or merchandising. I mean, would it have killed them to include a little stuffed llama that would spit when you squoze it? Or perhaps a genuine llama shirt? The make one for dogs…
I can see it now: Just like the dog shirt, except it would read:
“Bagpipes make me SPIT!” and the little smiley face on the reed would of course then be updated to a llama face. It could work I tell ya!
I think you’re really on to something here, Brian. Probably a best seller. The cosmic connections between llamas and UPs may not be immediately apparent, but if t-shirt art can define our whole world, imagine the revelation of a plush llama toy that really spits! Incredible!
The choice of the mighty llama was no coincidence you understand. I mean, just watch any piper closely in a session and he’s spitting all the time - when the bar maid brings his Guinness with two inches of foam for a head, when the new banjo player wants to run through Kesh Jig twenty times at 20 beats per minute, whenever the other session players ask him/her to tune!
The connection seemed very natural to us. Maybe Cafépress could at least offer a llama water dish, or perhaps a llama muzzle bag??? Are we really asking that much here??
Yeah but have you seen those with your local piping club logo either? I haven’t. I think we’re filling a very serious void in the world of piping and for fashion in general. The world is ready - now is the time! Wear your thongs proudly men! Stand tall! Let the wedgies commence!!
We just added a new photo and ‘logo’ to several items inspired by Dale here who was inspired by Charelton Heston and the NRA if I recall correctly. Look for the cranky old piper-
Okay, I figured out what the stains on my new SLPC thong are. Apparently Joseph’s dog got a hold of them (see his avatar). Is dog-drool supposed to be good luck or something?
