POLL: Neil vs. Bob: Two Weeks Only

Found a bug in your poll thing.

It's overlapping the two images on the main page. I'm running IE 6, WinXP, screen res of 1152x864.

Shouldn't it be Triangle Man in the poll? He's undefeated, as far as I know (except he wouldn't fight Universe Man).

In Response to FeldmanSkitzoid (#14484):

Fixed. Mozilla dealt with that much more gracefully.

Mozilla always does. We run a couple of web pages and always have to recode everything for Explorer. Fucking microsoft bastards.

In Response to goatboy (#14485):

universe man would probably only be nice to triangle, as triangle man is most likely smaller...

PS. by code in teh text/html/extra/code, what code do you mean, compiled java (not script) or c, or stuff like perl and php?

Yeah, 'cos they're gonna execute whatever code the face of poop chooses to type in.

The "code" setting just provides reasonable formating for displaying code fragments. The language doesn't matter.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#14494):

It's true that Universe Man is usually kind to smaller men, and perhaps the exception is Triangle Man.

I should probably stop speaking of them as if they are real people.

Are these like the halloween shirt from rstevens? Because that was pretty awesome.

In Response to Teethgrinder (#14502):

Same guy printing them, same glow in the dark ink.

But less ghosts and more aliens. So, they're similar, but not identical.

In Response to goatboy (#14485):

Well, to meet Triangle Man in 'Fight On in the Synchrotron', Particle Man has to make his way back up to #1 contender. Don't matter, the whole thing is fixed. I put my money on Don King stealing somebody else's.

What I'm wondering is why only two weeks. Likely not for the same reason as the two weeks given to take the "Jesus' Peanut Butter Cups" t-shirts off the market.

In Response to grjohnston (#14523):

We're going to start doing more limited time items -- I have a lot of ideas I want to offer on shirts, but we don't necessarily want to maintain stock on all of them. So we'll start doing these two-week offers. If there's exceptional demand for a given design, we'll consider adding it permanently, but I wouldn't expect to do that very often.

In Response to jon (#14503):

Wait, I thought the fact that space ships were time machines meant that aliens were ghosts...

plate of shrimp.

plate of shrimp.

Pervy-sense... tingling again....

In Response to goatboy (#14485):

Nah. Particle Man got his @$$ kicked in the song. Even so, I bet that Neil and Bob would let him kick theirs. I think they'd enjoy it.

You should have a bundle with neil on a regular t-shirt and bob on a babydoll.

In Response to zamphir (#14531):

Foolish heathen! Don't you know that God Hates Shrimp [godhatesshrimp.com]?

In Response to rmharman (#14552):

I know you're not a newbie here, but when you go looking for it so obviously, you Know that "Zamphir the Newbie Eater" [goats.com] is going to need a Toothpick [goats.com] when he's finished with you. Even though I think your link is passably entertaining, I think your potshot may prove to be more entertaining by far.

smart money is on triangle man.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#14612):

Actually, the smart money has already been spent on two new Neil & Bob t-shirts...

Obviously this is the spawning of the cage and aquarium.

In Response to themysticalone (#14620):

So cheesecake cupcakes would be perfect, yes?

it used to be different

In Response to Will_CBE (#14542):

I was at Domingo's a couple weeks ago on a Thursday night, and I saw Particle Man there with some people (seemed like acquaintances, not really friends). Particle Man was drinking a lot and getting kind of drunk (or were the drinks getting him instead?). He was kind of stumbling and spilled a drink that belonged to a young guy who looked like he belonged on some ivy league rowing crew.
They were both inebriated, exchanged words that I can't repeat here, and things quickly got messy. Now, I used to be a corner judge for a Thai kickboxing league, so I've seen a lot of fighters at a lot of skill levels. The other kid definitely had a few weight classes on Particle Man, but, considering the situation, Particle Man seemed to carry himself pretty well, somehow fighting off the effects of the alcohol to exhibit a decent level of control and balance. He ended up taking a beating that night, but that's life -- a Goliath is going to beat a David 9 out of 10 times.
I'd guess that Neil and Bob would be less imposing opponents, and in a more controlled fight setting, Particle Man would be an easy victor.
Particle Man got my vote.

Would anyone else want these on a long-sleeved shirt?

Because I want there to be a long-sleeved shirt option. Yes, yes I do.

Is there a chance of that?

I'll prolly be buying the 2-pack for myself anyway, but something about the glowing face on a black shirt makes me think it'd be oh so perfect if it was just long-sleeved.

This thread frightens me.

Someone makes a TMBG reference and the Lonely Goatherds come pouring in like rain.

Then I declare that I am England.
You declare that I have drowned.
