Lephys Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'll see your material -- silk -- and raise you one type of that material -- spider. Then my t-shirt will be BULLETPROOF! 8D! #"string" raise. ...Amateur. Tsk. I'm so confused, I'm casting hostile spells at random upon my own allies, as we speak! (Really, though, I don't get it. ) Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leferd Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 A String Raise is a faux pas commited by amateur poker players who watch too many Bond movies, in which they "see your (x) and raise you (y). It's bad form and when called out by other players, not legal. In essence a player could theoretically exploit the situation by calling the raise, gauge a tell, then re-raise. ...plus, individual threads are made of string, and so I was really proud of that pun. 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh... you learn something new every day. I knew OF that, but didn't know it was called a string raise. Points for the string/thread relation, and ALSO for the (inadvertent?) relevance of spider "silk" technically consisting of strings.

Oerwinde Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I want a graphene/carbon nanotube/cotton blend. Then my shirt would be soft, durable, and hold extra power for my phone. 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

SophosTheWise Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I still don't have had a survey on my profile, even though I'm definitely at a T-Shirt tier. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverbladeGR Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'd love to have a t-shirt, but the physical tier required (plus shipping to Europe) was too expensive for me. Still, I never thought to request an XXL size and use it as a tent. Might be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphine Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Does anyone know if there's going to be a women's t-shirt size option? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist II Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'd like a T-Shirt that has comfort, softness, light weight, non-iron, slim cut & fit, durable, doesn't fade in the wash or the sun, prefer Egyptian cotton over Pima cotton and has a UV factor of 50+ for the harsh Australian sun.

Talahar Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 As a fat guy, I would've preferred 4xl. Oh well. Can't be helped now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
