All right already. Now, as you would say, get off my t1t.

:)

Later,
bbeck

Thanks a lot, BBeck.

Hmmm...t1t...

Does two weeks ago count as spring, or are you hitting me up again?

Okay, but if we find out you've gone to Europe to research a book or something outlandish like that, we'll...uh...issue empty threats.

Okay, what's the proper way to enter your GD email address? Is it actually aceofspadesATgmailDOTcom? Because I tried using the @ and the . and said you weren't yet registered. Make this shit clearer for us imbiciles willing to part with our money!

Never mind. Found the Paypal clicky. Although it's not as much fun because there's no place to add comments such as:

Ace-san, I just want you to know that I ruv your brog and, though I must now ask each of my seven chirdren to work five extra hour in sweatshop, I make donation to get you out of poor house.

Do the t-shirts count? Because I bought two.

t-shirts definitely count, although RockNClothing is screwing me and claiming "No profits."

Over a hundred shirts sold... "no profits."

No profits for ME, they mean. They're not even answering my emails.

But it's the thought that counts.

Dave,

Of course I'm not trying to hit you up again. Thanks for your generosity. : )

Compos, Slu,

Thanks an awful lot. It really helps.

Bandwidth is a bitch. Ask Andy.

ok - I'm a retard like compos. When I tried to pay, it told me you were not registered...but I don't see a paypal clicky.

Could you be clearer...preferably step by step instructions?

Tink...it's easier if you hit the PayPal button on the sidebar. That takes you right to the donation page.

tinkerbelle - ok - I'm a retard like compos.

Hey!!! lol (I resemble that remark!)

ok- took Slublog's advice and used the link in the sidebar - much easier.

by the way, I still haven't received my shirt I ordered.

Is somebody moving to LA to further his screenwriting career?

I know. I was previously warned by Heather of Thisfish.com, too, who'd been screwed by them as well.

fat kid,

any of those friends carry baseball bats?

man ace, that fucking bites. I couldn't justify a donation to the wife, but a tshirt seemed the perfect way of showing you some love.

I'm really pissed

Well, they can dodge emails for a bit, and then comes the threat. We'll see.

Maybe 100 sold, but I saw at least that many in a moldy stack under the Williamsburg bridge, and that's after an army of homeless guys picked some up to wash windshields with. Where do you think I got that snappy name for your radio gig?

All right, I'll fork up for milking that tired joke.

I tried to donate some of George Galloway's unredeemed oil vouchers, but that's not an option in PayPal. Time to call tech support, I guess.

Ace, more than glad to hit the tipjar, you produce a great product. And valu-rite vodka ain't gettin any cheaper now is it? About your friends at rockn-clothing; What bullshit. No profits? howthefuck do you stay in business if you have to guess how much you'll make on each unit? Sorry you got screwed. I bought one, and was pretty dissapointed with the quality (not your fault). The material was so thin you could literally see through it if you held it up to the light, and the sizing was way off too. Liked the design. If you ever do another run with a real company, I'd buy another.

That sucks about the t-shirts. Does it comfort you to know that the quote on it has shocked the hell out of a lot of people I know?

My wife won't let me wear it to church, though. Pity.

The material was so thin you could literally see through it if you held it up to the light,

Oh yeah baby! I'm thinking Ace has produced some high quality wet t-shirt material! First female (you dorks) hottie to post a wet T pic in one of Ace's shirts gets a serious one-handed clap from me and I might even tip Ace again.

Ace, you hoser, the reason your Paypal link doesn't work is that the link on the sidebar includes hidden input parameters to take people to the correct page. If you don't include that, it just goes to some generic Paypal page.

Here is what you want:

What a bunch of shady assholes. The shirt I bought developed a hole in the armpit after one wash.

Anyway, I'm happy to hit the tip jar. You provide me with more entertainment than any magazine I could subscribe to.

BTW, I'd love to see an Ace of Spades fundraiser. I'm thinking you could work a lot of humor into that.

The thing I didn't get about the whole T-shirt thing is that I thought they'd be designed, then made available, and then they'd continue to be available indefinitely. Instead they were made, then there were posts about how they weren't selling, then they were being taken away on a certain date, then they were taken away before then, then brought back for a while, and then they were gone. And now on top of it you didn't get paid?

Maybe you should have just gone with something like Cafe Press (yes, I know, they accepted some Bush-hate shirts...that's why I said like Cafe Press). You would have made a couple of bucks a shirt and could have kept them for sale forever.

Maybe RockNClothing supposedly had better quality or could print on black, but what's with their "sell a bunch of shirts NOW or we're cutting you" attitude? Did you know that was the deal from the start?

I'll donate if you send me of pic of you....;-)

$30.00 inbound.

That's the best I can do right now.

Tell Johnny Coldcuts to lay off the mayo. That stuff aint cheap...

First female (you dorks) hottie to post a wet T pic in one of Ace's shirts gets a serious one-handed clap from me and I might even tip Ace again.

Compos, the girl T doesn't get translucent when wet as it is black and evidently made of a thicker fabric. Guess how I know? ;)

Later,
bbeck

bbeck, it doesn't?

damn. Ok, I'm in anyway. Off to find a link that works...

"...or try via this link (which people seem to have some trouble with... not sure why)."

Then read my explanation above, which explains why and how to fix it.

Ace, what kind of homo crap is that?! You got a thing for man-nipples you freak?!

Bob,

That code doesn't work either. It leads to an "abort" page.

Thanks for trying, though.

Dropped a bit in the jar... Of course you know this means that I will have to beg Mr. Paul Anka for a job again.

MoS

HOBS! I need you again!!!

Man, if I had know the T-shirt deal was going to suck so badly, I would have just made a paypal donation instead!

Ace,

It works for me in Firefox. I tried it in IE, and IE seems to have a limit on URL length or something, so that truncates it, so, yeah, it gets to an abort page.

PayPal probably has some other way to do it.

Ace, I can kinda tell when you've chosen the blog over your medicine....;-)

Bandwidth is a bitch. Ask Andy.

That is is, Ace, that it is. ;)

Uh, I could use a 100k too. My cell phone bill has skyrocketed.
