#brainboxupdate

I went to college with John Kovalic. He’s hada this comic strip for EVER and we both do Dork Related …things.http://www.dorktower.com/ is his comic strip. He drew this today as warm up. Me as a Ranger of the Dork Forest. AWESOME. I mention him on tuesday’s TDF (which is a sketch art book, robot episode!!)

Yes…$20 for a shirt, $40 for the sweat. Here’s what you really want to know…which is fine by me:

I mark everything up 100%. the shirts are Bayside 100% preshrunk cotton. The Ranger shirt is US Union Made, the new TDF designs are not Union, just US made (a poor adult made them. There is that solace).

The zip hoodies are just a brand that I really liked (from the Atlanta Vortex comedy club _ super cosy, who knows who makes Tultex.)

Shirts are $7 (8.50 for xxl) plus to ship to me, envelope and ship to you (domestic $3-5, international $5-10), I make between $5-7 a shirt.

Sweats are $17.50 (19 Xxl) plus all that and shipping is 5-10 domestic, 10-15 international) I make about $10 each.

Then there’s my time counted out of the the profit.

That’s the scoop those of you saying they are too expensive. But they are nice. Save up. Right now it’s worth it for me to do it. Eventually I will value my time more and not do it anymore. Play that line and I hope it all works out for you. If I sound irritated, I am. Call me defensive, it doesn’t mean I don’t love you. I do. Now go out in the world and be decent to someone.

Avenger Gif anyone?

kleewiggins: Stand up comic and friend of the dork forest… Her brother is a Marine. 

To honor all of our nations soldiers today I’m going to highlight the soldier I love more than anyone in the world—my baby brother Staff Sgt. Cassell J Wiggins, USMC… In February he received the Bronze Star for Valor—below is the account of why he was awarded the medal.

On 10…

Youi are sweet! And… order these today or tomorrow www.jackiekashian.com and get them shipped before I go away again. (hoodie is pre-order, i’m making that order tuesday)>

Maria Bamford and Jackie Kashian lead my dream team for basic life success and comedic excellence. Cause… Sure, that is a thing.

jackiekashian:

The new dork forest tshirts came while maria and I were playing joke machine and she got a tshirt (the green, not the brown) and a hoodie. then andy came home, weirdly wearing the logo shirt! HA@!

Order today or around Christmas I figure. http://jackiekashian.com/hoodie.php either is cool, but I’m placing the order tomorrow. Confirmed by Tuesday I imagine. 

Bonus tdf. live it up rangers. 

I have enough orders to place a NEW TDF style order and so can order Hooded Sweatshirts too. i.e. Now’s the time to order them. 

I know. It’s 100degrees out. Trayvon got shot (actually had them made for the “staff” of TDF RIGHT before. RIP, kid). But I’m ordering them now. You’ll get them in about a month… with the earth doing stuff, it could be cold again :) OR… you might need a jacket for a movie. Who knows :) But Maria’s doing a swell job looking intense in hers.

e me also if you want an “alternate” size shirt. like extra small or 3x or above. I can do that now too. http://www.jackiekashian.com/hoodie.php to order the hoodie… e me for other sizes than listed jackie@jackiekashian.com 

You can relax, this will be my last pitch on this shirt for a bit. But remember, I’m not on the road here for a minute so I’m all twitchy about what I SHOULD be doing :) thanks for liking the show, supporting the show (right. if you don’t want a ranger shirt, tshirt, or this hoodie, just DONATE to the show for new mics). You are all swell. Take care out there, Jackie

the greatest paragraph, “

Throughout time there have always been cultural entities which so completely define their medium and their generation that they become either the greatest hallmark of a generation, or fade away, waiting for a revival as retro-cool. These events, artifacts and creations are concurrently the most significant achievements of the genre and the personification of the medium in and of itself, whose echoes (knowingly or not) reverberate throughout all subsequent content. Even relatively new media like podcasting has several such touchstones, ‘Adam and Joe,’ ‘Never Not Funny’ and ‘The Ricky Gervais Show’ are just a few examples, all of which retain a great success that reflects their seminal status, and all of which are still running, in some capacity, years after their inception. But as much as a creation of the internet these are, the podcast most clearly reflecting all of what the internet was meant to (and essentially always did) represent, is The Dork Forest.”

While I’m willing to WEAR clothes made by children… I’m unwilling to SELL clothing made by children. This - http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/02/mac-mcclelland-free-online-shipping-warehouses-labor - makes me never want to order from Amazon again. What a freaking nightmare.

Here’s the good news… I’m a one-man-band for all of my “merch.” http://twitpic.com/9nq6o7  http://www.jackiekashian.com/store.php 

PS I know I will order from Amazon again… I’m a hypocrite not a liar.

Marc Maron said a really cool thing in Rolling Stone. This is a scan from Peter D’Amore (from fb), as I do not receive RS. I KNOW… shocking that I get all my musical knowlege so organically I don’t need to get RS. Also cool he likes Bargatze… we spent 14days in Iraq together on that stand up tour a couple years ago. He IS great.

My brother told me that he’s been using my drawings in a lesson for one of the Spanish 4 classes he teaches. The kids have to describe the images in Spanish to a partner, and the partner has to try to draw a copy of the image just based on the description. So I made him some new ones to try out.

As you may know, we (the United States government) are a little strapped for cash. Salvage a first-world government’s economy? In

I just want to say that you should all really go and listen to the latest Dork Forest podcast (from iTunes or thedorkforest.com), if for no other reason than to hear the VEHEMENCE in Jackie’s voice when she answers “NO!” to the question “have you ever seen Judie Dench in a bikini?”

Also, y’know,…

In the last 40min of this flight, things are beginning to get exciting: lady next to me (wearing a SO M$ONEY hat and reading Bossypants) is nervously hitting my leg. Couple in front of me have switched seats and they are staring deeply into each others eyes and making out. Kid behind me (special needs kid had to be boarded early, who has been worried about “flight” all trip thinks people will “be nicer when we get there.” where ever that is. #DeltaUpdate
