Bitchin'! OK, here's an update:

I've spent the whole damn week on the site. The two major things are the new interview with Big AlFed, and a new Sid Segment, called "Sid Science, Experiments With Fire"

This Sid deal is not up yet, it's not quite done. I think you'll enjoy it, I have to get the photos developed and the pages made up, but it is pretty friggin' amusing.

Kevin Watson has been instrumental in this site, as I literally do not even know how to do the simplest thing in HTML. Kevin is awesome.

I put a link to Dick Dale's website on the "Friends" page and then sent an e-mail to Dick to ax his permission, he wrote back a really nice note and thanked me for putting the link up to his site. Dick Dale is Way Cool. He invented the reverb amp, and if you remember the surf music in Pulp Fiction, that was Dick Dale, who made the first surf music in the history of Earth, and is still at it 39 years later. Buy one of his CDs, my favorite is "King of the Surf Guitar" on Rhino.

Kevin, by the way, created Dawg banner, the inpristine banner, the "Legalize Catnip" banner and the Snottington's banner, which makes me laugh out loud every dang time I look at it and I'm laughing right now just thinking about looking at it.

The other thing I've been working on, aside from Real Life writing articles for a website about the stock market, is the T-Shirt.

The T-Shirt will be around 20 bucks, just because it is costing me a fortune to make. But I think it will be worth it. One side of the shirt will have a full color portrait [photograph!] of cOUSIN SHORTY with his Night Cruising Gear on. This includes his Night Cruising Hat, his Frilly Disco Shirt, his Bleenstad Hair Jacket (similar to a camel hair jacket except electric blue), and his Gold Chain With Poot Skull. Poots, as you know if you read the FAQ page on the site, are the aliens you call "Grays" which my cousin stamps like cockroaches.

This is a Big Deal because nobody on Earth (with the exception of a few people who have been up to the spacecraft, like Jorj and Travis the Walgreens Photo Dude), have actually seen cOUSIN SHORTY. You've seen his eyes and nose, and if you happen to have clicked on the "Alien Reptiles Only" link on the site, you may have spotted a profile shot of his nose and right eye.

The deal is this: the other side of the shirt will have some text, "cOUSIN SHORTY says, sEE Yo aT THe TOP!"

My problem is that I don't know what to make the front and what to make the back of the shirt. Originally, I was planning on putting the portrait of SHORTY on the front of the shirt. It would be about 7" high.

But I am now thinking that putting the portrait on the BACK so I could make it about 12" high might be cool too.

I'm looking for some feedback on this. One side has a full color portrait of cOUSIN, and the other side has this text I mentioned.

Which would you prefer; portrait on the front of the shirt, or portrait a little bigger on the back of the shirt?

Thanks in advancement.
