I said I would come in today, on Saturday, to tell you a little more about the A&J T shirts that will be available soon, and so I have. To make things easier for all, you can go here for detailed information about the short-sleeve shirts and go here for information about the long-sleeve shirts. The official Gildan Web site will give you the technical details about the shirts, as well as the colors. (Remember, the short-sleeve shirts are available in Carolina blue, charcoal, military green, natural and sport gray, and the long-sleeve shirts are available in black, gold, light pink, red and sand.) There also is a size chart available. The handsome young men are not included.
I thought I would give you my general impressions of our product. These are Gildan’s “Ultra Cotton” line, the best they offer. They are 6-ounce cotton shirts, about the heaviest basic T generally available. All are from 100% American-grown cotton, except the “sport gray” version which, for some reason, is 10% polyester. However, I’ve seen it and felt it; it’s a good shirt. I have worn these shirts around for several weeks and washed them—of course. These shirts fit. When I say that, I mean they are neither clingy nor baggy. I wear a large T shirt normally, and the large Gildan is comfortable. Maybe I shouldn’t encourage you to purchase the wrong size shirt, but if you like your shirt really comfy loose, as many do, you might consider getting a size larger than normal for you. The actually colors of the shirt don’t always match up with the corresponding colors on the Web. Oddly, the shirt colors tend to be more vivid, I think. And remember, you can see the artwork on the shirts by clicking on the link at the top of this post. I’ve said about all I can say about T shirts. Now I’m going to watch the Auburn/Alabama game. War Eagle!!

Keith Urban is almost beautiful. No attempt or effort with clothing anymore. Almost makes you miss Porter Waggoner and Nudie.
Morning folks 😆
Tmdaviss, Jimmy has not let us in on the pricing or ordering process. This is what the kids out in the SV call a startup. Design is completed, market demand measured, manufacturing contracted, sales and distribution to be determined. Hang in there, details will be appearing soon.
Mark, I was not going to post
Dang, hit the submit button, premature launch, no abortion function.
Mark, I was not going to post an emoticons link unless Jimmy approved. Afraid we might get carried away like someone did last night. 🙄
Why doesn’t :stripper: work?
Man, would I have been surprised if it had!
GR6, you’re so 😈 , but you’re are only ghost 🙂
Are s/b our 🙄
It appears I’m about to have to do something I haven’t done in many years…buy a new wrist watch. Yeah, I know…my smart phone tells time, too, but with a watch, I don’t have to haul it out of a belt holster, unlock it, and sign it on, just to learn what time it is. (Besides, I’m old-fashioned in many ways.)
Based on one I’m looking at, they now make solar powered watches. (Who knew?) So they keep running for years, without having to replace a battery. (Sort of like the “self-winding” watch which was the first one I ever owned. Ah, progress.) And it also has compass, barometer, and altimeter features, and it automatically sets the time from the WWVB radio station’s time signal. I do like me some gadgets, so there is that. The thing is, it’s all digital, and I’ve never owned any watch that does not have an analog display.
I told you I’m old-fashioned.
GR6, me too. I had bought digital watches since the late ’80’s, but last time out I picked up an analog. I wanted a simple analog but had to settle for one with the date display. Darned thing won’t keep the date right and resetting it is so much trouble I just left it alone. Right now it shows the date as the 17th. For the correct date I will pull out the phone. As you say, too much trouble trying to get time from phone when you just want a quick check.
Debbe, every time you talk about the belts I can’t help thinking of Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory. “Let ‘er rip!”.
Jerry in FL, I hope things go well with your treatment. Don’t know why they call that stuff Go-Lytely, it ought to be Go-Often or Will This Ever Stop?.
Yeah, Mark, I’d really like to have an analog model with the radio time-hack setting feature, although I realize it likely wouldn’t work on a non-digital watch. (I’ll admit to being a bit OCD about my watch having the correct time, I suppose because of my military and aviation experience.) All the rest would actually be superfluous.
I wonder if they make a “digital” watch that projects an image of hour, minute, and second hands on its face. That might be cool.
Ghost: I have seen digital watches with analog faces, just not sure what brand.
Come to think of it, RA, I believe the iWatch will do that. But I’m not in love with the idea of paying $500+ for a big, clunky-looking wrist watch that can receive spam. 🙂
Ghost, here are some: http://www.casio.com/products/Watches/wave_ceptor/
Try search for atomic analog watch.
Most hotels start putting out their Christmas decorations on Black Friday, but not the one I’m at right now. It’s not easy for hotels to find conventions for this weekend, and it’s in our contract that the decorations don’t come out until after our convention ends tonight.
emb, I thought I posted this last night but I loved My Fair Lady too, got to see Rex Harrison in it twice on stage. When I was in college one of our benefactors got permission for us to perform it before it was released for general use, along with the Broadway costumes after they closed or replaced?
Get me to the church on time……….
Multi tasking here listening to piano and cello music, doing leg swings and lifts and answering and typing. No wonder I am a little off at times.
The “atomic” clocks were so much trouble that I stopped using them, I think that I will pass on the watch. Now if they bring back the 1959 Impala I’ll go for that.
Debbe, I just used a yardstick to get Tippy’s favorite toy out from under the fridge. Thanks for the link.
Mark, did you see Undercover Boss when the boss from Waste Management was trying to remove all of the cardboard from a belt that was flying by?
GR6, make the once in a
Damn, something has changed on my virtual keyboard. I just seem to auto post without hitting the submit button.
GR6, you can do this once and never need another watch. Clearly says you.

My thought about owing a $25K Rolex has always been, “I’d probably lose the &#%@ing thing the first time I wore it outside of the house.”
Interestingly, I’ve never known any pilots who ever used an “aviation chronometer” for anything other than impressing non-pilot chicks.
my first widowed Thanksgiving spent climbing mountains around Tuscon – had some actually scary moments. A younger woman, and older woman (French born, great accent) and I took off on our own and somehow lost the trail. We scampered way on up, before realizing, this simply could not be the trail, but not until turning around did we realize OMG what have we done? Maybe 100 feet up, narrow ledge, ground and rocks crumbling beneath us with nothing but loose rocks and cactus to grab onto, we slowly butt scooted our way back down, we were truly frozen at some points and talked each other down. .. (step)daughter is flying me and (step)son to her place for Christmas, should be safer but freezing (ugh) in Tahoe.
…. ..and a woman I met on a hike might be a happening thing. Several dates so far, last night we saw Peter Noone and his Herman’s Hermits at the 1894 Galveston Opera House, he is quite a performer, did a little Johnny Cash and a good exaggerated dancing around like Mick Jagger and of course his hits. “A Kind of Hush” and “I’m Into Something Good” were most conducive, she put her hand on my thigh first, then driving her home, the SiriusXM 70’s station had just the right Chicago, Three Dog Night and Bread songs for the situation, subsequent messaging is very promising. Back to Galveston next week for Dickens on the Strand
No My Fair Lady, but after the TV show ended I saw Jack Klugman and Tony Randall do Neil Simon’s original Odd Couple on stage at Jones Hall in Houston, pickles (or something I can’t remember) were actually flung into the audience
