Throwing Signs

I can twist my fingers up so that they form the word "bloG" (kind of like the hand sign for the Bloods! Except you use your left hand to make a capital G...) but honestly, I'm usually supporting a baby's thigh in one hand and holding a blunt martini bag full of dog poop in the other.

We need a sign, yo. Go visit Kateri and cogitate on some sort of secret decoder ring for the bloggitudinous...

Okay, I went, because you told me to. Here's what I posted at Kateri's:

I'm sick sick sick of those plastic charity/not-charity bracelets, so I will automatically vote no for any of those.

I would suggest a friendship-bracelet-type thing, similar to those tied by junior high school girls for what surely must be millenia, but I don't have as much free time as I did in 1985, so, those are out.

Seems like the quickest, easiest way to do it is to decide on a color and go from there. I vote for orange because it is one of my favorites, goes with almost nothing, and I don't think it's been 'claimed' by any one cause yet. I suggest either embroidery floss (I'll just go ahead and suggest DMC 608) or 1/2" ribbon, worn on the left wrist.

I'm not going to bother listing an elaborate system of colors and knots for the type of blog (TTC, mama, political), host (one's own, typepad, blogger), or posting frequency (red for, say, Tertia, and light blue for, say, me). If we wanted to get THAT specific, we might as well get started knotting friendship bracelets and call it a day.

I am a long-time lurker... but there is a t-shirt out that you might like.

holy crap, somebody else thought of the handsign! and made the shirt!

ditto my idea for a "this car climbed hubbert's peak" bumpersticker. and for a comic called "academia nuts".

day late and a dollar short. story of my frickin' life.

Hahahahahah! that's too funny! I love it!

I also went and commented on kateri's blog (and I'm gonna blog about it, damnit!).

I like the idea of orange.

Yeah, and I'm miffed that some of these blog shirts are cooler than mine.

Would a blunt martini have protective foam covering the ends of the toothpick? Or would the joint take the place of the olive?

You should design t-shirts for threadless.com! Every shirt on that site was some person's idea, and they print them upinlimited runs and wait for more submissions. you, too, can be a t-shirt designer... so far, the ideas I haven't had could fill volumes :)
