WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
JUST SAY NO Shirts (+ free bumperstrip) are shipping
byVanderleunonDecember 6, 2021
At long last…. (sorry but the learning curve was steep for the first t-shirt) the JUST SAY NO T-Shirts are shipping!
And… I am including FREE! this strip in every order***.
Since I have to do all the labeling and make several trips to the Post Office (very crowded this time of year) it will take a couple of days but I will get them out.
There will be shirts still on offer… maybe about twenty in various sizes.
So if you wanted one and did not order. Do so now via Paypal or cash, check, or money order to
Can’t promise size choice but I’ll do my best. If I’m out of shirts or size I’ll return the money, okay?
*** If you just want the bumperstrip slip me $5 via Paypal or the mailing address above. Tell me you’re doing it via Paypal or email and I’ll send one off without waiting for cash in hand because trust you yes.
GV, I’ll send money for 4 shirts. Please gift them to friends whom may not be able to purchase this time of year.
I’m off the mountain tomorrow, I’ll send a check out when I get home.

Your credit’s always good with me, Dirk. Done.

Well, now that you are one of those “blood-sucking capitalists,” of whom the many-headed have so much to say, how about a whole LINE of “Shirtings by Vanderleun”?
Possible stuff to put on the aforementioned shirts….

Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind,
Stigmatical in making, worse in mind. (The Comedy of Errors, 4.2.23-26)

FIRST MURDERER
We are men, my liege.
MACBETH
Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men,
As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs,
Shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves are clept
All by the name of dogs. The valued file
Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle,
The housekeeper, the hunter, every one
100According to the gift which bounteous nature
Hath in him closed, whereby he does receive
Particular addition, from the bill
That writes them all alike. And so of men.
Now, if you have a station in the file,
Not i’ th’ worst rank of manhood, say ’t,
And I will put that business in your bosoms,
It is a bit much for a t-shirt.
Lance de BoyleDecember 7, 2021, 10:54 AM
Maybe a bit much for a t shirt, Harry, but just right when someone asks, “So, howz your in-laws?”
Good morning, Gerard,
There was a blue UPSx package on my front porch this morning. I’m pleased to announce the T-shirt and sticker have arrived.
I’m currently wearing it over one of my thermal shirts, and it fits nicely.
I notice that it’s a Guildan brand. I have a couple of those in day-glow yellow that I got 5 years ago when I worked at the auto auction in Manheim. They are still in great shape, and the necks haven’t stretched out at all, which is common for other brands. (I have a big head – 7 & 5/8 hat size.)
Anywho, just wanted to let you know they got here, and I’m a happy customer!
Merry Christmas,
leelu

P.S. While I was impressed with the hand-crafted label, I just wanted to let you know that you can also use you computer and printer to print them out, anving on time and writer’s cramp.
OTOH, you penmanship is something I can only aspire to.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Or maybe a quote from Henry V on Saint Crispin’s Day:
“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile…”
Got ’em Gerard. One’s a gift and the other is already a fav gym shirt.
Thank you.
Gerard: Got my shirt! The thing is a chick magnet! I’m wearing it while downing a few vodkas. Got to break it in right.
P.S.
I am impressed by the hand-drawn addres
