MERCHANDISE: SEXY EXECS 2010 CALENDAR
Sorry. Still no “Blue Sky in Games” t-shirts as the moment’s kind of passed and it’d just be embarrassing bringing them “to market” after all this time.
Instead… BUSINESSMEN. Sorry. Again.
These aren’t really meant for you. But we do need to sell 40 of them to break even, so they’re getting spammed across the whole [makes hands into fists] “network”. We got 100 made. It was a big infrastructure investment.
If they don’t sell from this, we’ll set up a stall selling them at the next farmer’s market (LOCAL JOKE).
They’re £8.99 each plus a bit extra for the envelope and stamp. You know how that works. That’s less than you spend on childrens’ toys in a week.
We have put on date jokes. The first few months are good, then it kind of tales off as you have hopefully come to expect.
They’re being sold through PayPal, so scroll down if you want one or, preferably, all 100 so we can sleep easily tonight without checking for email sales confirmations through the night.
These are PROPER NOT JOKE items, printed on A4 glossy photo paper by these people. Their testimonials page will convince you of the quality.
WHY BUY THESE?
– They have been made and it would be a shame to see them binned in 18 months.
– As an ironic gift for your ironic tosser friend who wears ironic t-shirts that, ironically, aren’t really even that ironic.
– As a gay thing.
– To waste everyone’s time.
– It’ll be nice getting something in the post.
BUY ONE NOW:
UPDATE:
They have now, amazingly and unbelievably, all sold out. And sorry to the person who got the one we scribbled all over. It got mixed up with the proper ones.

The sooner this scrolls away into oblivion and I burn them all in the garden while sobbing, the better.

I appreciate your effort, Zorg don’t cry.
Appreciate as in a consoling smile, not as in the actual transferral of money from my account into yours.

No “Blue Skies” Tees? :(
I would, however, buy a cross-over piece of merch.
“Blue Skies In Businessmen”.
Market convergence and all that bollocks, eh?

Is this real?
Like, these are actually real items that actually physically exist and that’s a real Paypal link and if I click it I will seriously have some money removed from my bank account and then actually receive one of the pictured calendars in the post sometime in the near future (or distant future, given the postal strikes)?
I might buy one.
Not making any promises though.

Do you ship to the US?

Is Charles dell’Aqua in the calendar ?
October 8th, 2009 on 11:35 pm
I cannot believe I have bought this. Worst impulse buy of the year. I do like that the item number on the paypal screen is “SEX 0001” which will really help when a girl reads through my email because I stupidly leave everything logged in.

Of course they’re real. I’ve taken photos. How much more real can I make them look? Is this going to end up being a Nigerian Western Union scam, where you get me to pose with them in increasingly bizarre scenarios to “prove” they’re real as the weeks pass and I get more desperate?
And yes, I can post one OR AS MANY AS YOU LIKE to anywhere in the world.

Are you Brits having the same calendars as us Yankees? Because I wouldn’t mind some handsome men on my wall for a change. Good idea btw.
October 9th, 2009 on 2:26 am
If we buy them THEN can we have blue skies t-shirts?

If that pedophilic looking guy holding out the Gameboy Advance is Mr. December then put me down for two.
October 9th, 2009 on 10:45 am
I just bought one, although I cannot adequately explain why. So now you have to make a Blue Skies In Games T-shirt to sell me. I would buy the shit out of one of those.
October 9th, 2009 on 11:02 am
I’m sorry. Great idea in theory. Having weird blokes look at me for an entire year is creepy.
Now, gadgets with faces, or batteries– those would have made fantastic calendars. YOU FOOL(S)!
October 9th, 2009 on 2:55 pm
I’m holding out for a Teclast calendar.
October 9th, 2009 on 5:47 pm
I will have one of these under protest, because I know you’ve had a hard time of it this year with not getting paid an all.
BUT! Batteries would have been a much better idea. I can’t see the Chinese producers moaning about licensing their IP. It’s only October, surely you can rustle something up..
October 9th, 2009 on 6:07 pm
Ahem.
There IS actually a Teclast calendar. A 2009 one at least.
I sent Zorg the link to it a while ago but it was amongst a total overdose of teclast links, of which only one was posted, so either:
a) He forgot
b) Was worn out after going through them all and then forgot
c) Thought that, other than the ‘nursey’ one he posted, the rest were crap and didn’t bother.
d) Couldn’t be arsed as I’d given too many pictures and not provided enough words
e) Decided to keep them all to himself as his own private online harem.
f) The ‘missus’ found the email/browsing histrory and the bruises have only just faded
So, which was it Zorg, and shall I post the 2009 calendar link or did you have plans for it?
Am I spoiling our big xmas suprise? You know we’ll be expecting something nice for xmas/hannukah/kwanza/festivus/winterval/yule/decembertide, don’t you?
(And yes, I’m keeping an eye out for the 2010 calendar)

THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS ENDS
October 10th, 2009 on 2:49 am
I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.
October 11th, 2009 on 8:28 am
Thanks for a great offering! I could not refuse to take advantage of the exchangerates towards GBP.
Besides, annoying coworkers is something I thrive on.
October 12th, 2009 on 5:48 pm
Oh, I would like to support your attempt at independent publishing so I would like to buy a…. DID SOMEONE SAY TECLAST CALENDER!?!?!?!?!?!?!
