T-SHIRTS, SWEATSHIRTS, NOTE CARDS, AND JOURNALS

topic posted Wed, March 2, 2005 - 10:17 PM by  Megan
Last time I was kidding; this time it's TOTALLY TRUE: Lava Toad T-shirts, sweatshirts, and, yes, even journals and note cards are NOW AVAILABLE!!! Well, OK, they don't say "Lava Toad" on them. But they have a PICTURE of a lava toad! Well, all right, it's not a lava toad--or really any kind of a toad--it's a tiny applique of an alligator . . .

No, seriously--these are ACTUAL Lava Toad products, as anyone who has heard even the first two minutes of our CD will recognize. Come look!

Also, anyone who has listened as far as the 20th song (and we really appreciate your patience) may notice that these products were designed by none other than Sally Arizona!!!!

You know . . . Sally!

Come ON, people--the PUNK ROCK GODDESS!!

Oh, brother. THE SONG WITH THE DOGS BARKING!!! Yeah, that's the one!

But for those who DON'T know:

Sally is a real good artist.
Her name is really Sally and she really is a real good artist.
Spatula is a toy collector,
And all the neighborhood kids respect her,
But what they don't know is that her real name's Sally,
And when she goes out at night people tell her:
"You're a real good artist."

Well, OK, that's not one of the songs where the lyrics really stand alone--you kind of have to hear it to appreciate it. And hear the dogs barking.

Ah, fuck it. BUY OUR T-SHIRTS!!!

  • OMG. That is so awesome. YOU are so awesome.
    • Thanks, Chris and Hater!!

      This is SO weird, Callahan. When I wrote that post in another thread about all the products available at Chris and Holly's House of Fun, before I even knew we were really going to have T-shirts and stuff, I was going to joke and say we had Lava Toad condoms and--and--EVEN TEA COZIES!!! I can't believe how in synch we are. But rifle racks--THAT is cool. That is brilliant.

      I think I may also have thought of toilet paper, but maybe now my memory is just making stuff up and trying to steal Hater's idea. (I *know* I really thought of condoms and tea cozies.) This is funny, though: I had thought of mouse pads, as something completely ridiculous, and this company that's manufacturing our T-shirts HAS mouse pads that you can put your design on. They have some crazy shit, like thongs, and bibs (Hater . . . [no--I meant the thongs]), and of course normal things like mugs.

      Chris and I actually used to have a mug that Sally had this company make for us many years ago. Somehow it ended up at my Catholic grandparents' house when Joe was living with them; not sure why he thought it would be a good idea to put it in the cupboard with the good china. Anyway, I *would* have Sally order mugs again but the picture fades after two or three years of washing. For a while, we had to put a sticker over it when we made cocoa for the fundamentalist Christian kids we babysit, but now it's so faded that we don't even bother.
