… other than shit disturbing, snarking, participating in the FBC, researching and writing diaries and writing well informed comments that is….
Have you clicked on an ad? Bought something from Powell’s? Bought a bumper sticker or tee from the store?
I know I’ve been remiss in the clicking arena. BooTrib is such a valuable community and we all need to do our parts to help Boo sustain it (and himself) imnsho. 🙂
So click, shop & be merry!
(and of course, don’t stop shit disturbing or snarking … I know I won’t)
I suggest we use this diary to show our appreciation of the Boo & Susan show… they are truly the best of the blogging world… so kiss butt and take no prisoners 🙂
sorry Boo, I forgot you wanted to be called Big Brother Almighty… my bad.
personally I like to be called the Supreme goddess of the universe, but spider works too in a pinch. 😉
I drank coffee out of my boo mug this morning while blogging, and both my boys proudly wear their Boo shirts to school. I may have to steal one of them to go rnning in today…
ergh. steal kid’s shirt to go RUNNING in. dang typos.
my boo tee is currently in the dryer… that’s the only reason I’m not wearing it, I swear 🙂
yeah right spidey, your just go’n t-shirt-less so you can get a spot on the BooMan Topless Calendar ; )
(duck’n)
Boo goes topless?
Do the boys get remarks about their t-shirts?
When I mentored/tutored 5th graders, I used my pen that True Majority had mailed me … it has one of those pull-out sheets that lists how much the U.S. spends on the military versus other countries. The kids just LOVED that pen, and they’d beg me to let them play with it. Over and over and over again, they remarked how astonished they were that the U.S. spends so much on the military! (Ah, guerilla education can be such fun.)
I really like my Boo mug. It’s so sturdy and just the right size.
They don’t get too many comments on the shirts, but I do know that my older son pulls BooTrib up on his browser in his computer class (I think mostly to show pictures from the DC march).
Well, my Boo tee is currently hanging in my closet. I won’t wear it to work as my clothes get holes in them there! My Boo coffee cup is right here, next to my iMac, holding pens and pencils. 🙂
My want list at Powell’s gets longer every day.
I am very happy to support this site!
You deserve a 4 just for hanging your Tee shirts!
As a matter of design principal, I refuse to wear any T-shirts except plain, or to possess any emblazoned objects. I even turn supermarket bags inside out to conceal the logo – though I have used my own bag for a couple of years now. I have so many books I haven’t got round to yet. And I feel a fraud clicking on ads that don’t affect me.
I do buy a lot of DVDs though.
The only thing I can say in my defence is that I try to contribute here in words whenever I can.
Think of the Boo Mug as political art – something like this, LOL.
Surely a sophisticated guy like you wants to be seen as supporting the arts, especially anti-Bush political art.
😉
what have I let myself in for?
My ‘membership’ here conflicts with my Marxist principle of ‘I’d never be a member of any club that would have me’ – and that’s Groucho, of course.
I’ve always lived by the tenet (and not George) of individual responsibility. If I were to wear the banner of any organization, it would mean I publicly subscribe to all the views of that organization. I’ve never found a religion, organization or club which I could wholeheartedly support, or allow to speak on my behalf.
I’ve always preferred to argue my case and vision as an individual.
But membership of a community is somewhat different. A community by its very nature is diverse. So I don’t mind being a Finn, a male, a BTer or a member of the human race. I work not in a company, but as a consultant to a company – which again gets me out of the conundrum of ‘belonging’.
This all sounds convoluted and evasive, but it is the ethos I’ve evolved (and broken) over the years. Though the cliché of ‘There’s no ‘I’ in the word team’ would seem to preclude my being able to cooperate with others, I’ve found that, on the contrary, I get to influence the direction of teamwork quite a lot. My views tend to be seen as purist – even moral – rather than territorial.
So no mugs for me – political or otherwise. I am no mug 😉
But if you want to argue about what Art is – let’s roll…
Oh goodness. . .Booman needs to get you on his marketing team post haste! I can see the cash rolling in as we type! ;^)
Actually, I agree with you on the Tee shirt issue. Heck, we even cut the Hanes tags out of our Tees, because, you know, we don’t follow all the tenets of Hanes. (Oh yeah, and because they stick out of the bottom of the Tee shirts and make the hem roll up.)
Good day!
I inconsistently don’t cut out makers tags which are invisible to the public. I’m obviously superficial….
Make Booman logo underwear and it would probably pass my ‘membership’ test, and also be an interesting one-on-one conversation piece.
Depending, of course, on who you’re conversing with at the time ;^). Shouldn’t you be sleeping?
I scrawled the initials BT into the last slice of cheesecake I ate. I’ve done my duty.
though why n/t is an acronym for ‘no comment’ has yet to be satisfactorily explained to me…
I thin k it means no text….!!!! Hi Sven, how are you doing.
HEY!
Hi Diane
Thanks. At last a logical answer!
I’m good. This planned ‘short session’ at BT has taken me to 3.30 am here in Finland. But what the heck, it’s Sunday tomorrow 😉
Hey ((((Diane)))) – I’m logging out for the night, but I wanted to send you a hug on my way out. (I’ve participated in taunting Spiderleaf, so I feel like it’s been a rich, full day and I can call it a night. ;^)
A peaceful night to all – pleasant dreams.
I’m always glad to offer myself up for said taunts if it makes for a happy and contented A… 🙂
have a great night!
Likewise, to be sure. In said instance, taunting will also be accompanied by a hug – ((((Spide))))
(No need to cringe in horror, mind you.)
Good night to you!

Just got my bumpersticker yesterday. Now I’ll be the envy of everyone on my street.
Good night everyone. I guess you all pooped out already. Wanted to share my best friend and I tool my grand daughter to see a belly dancer tonight(friend visiting from Chitown is a belly dancer). My grandleezy was blown away and we came home and my friend Keelyn taught her a dance. Now it’s gramma’s turn to be blown away. What a trip! She is a natural.
Hope everyone is having a delightful weekend. I know I am after having a week off. I even have a beautiful tan too.
Oh, and I always click the ads before I start reading for the day.
