Okay, this is weird...

So I logged into my cafepress account tonight, because I vaguely recalled that they printed books, and I wanted to check their prices. While I was there, I noticed that my account had a $0.51 credit, which seemed odd, because I wasn't sure why they would give me money just for having an account. So I poked around a bit, looking for transaction histories, and lo-and-behold, someone actually bought a "Really Bitter and Jaded Man" bumper sticker.

Someone in California, apparently. Someone who would have no idea what Stick Figure Drama was. They just went and...bought a bumper sticker. Because...I don't know. I can't even imagine why they would. Because they thought it was funny? I don't know. Maybe.

It's too much for me to get my head around.

Somewhere in California is a car sporting a bumper sticker with a stick-figure depiction of me in a cape with a beer-mug logo on my chest. That's just...I can't even describe how weird that is. Cool, but...weird.

If you want to check out the two products avaialble at the Stick Figure Drama Cafepress site, you can visit my storefront here. If you want to check out the crappy products I came up with for "Some Things You Need To Know Before The World Ends: A Final Evening With The Illuminati" -- a play I directed to years ago -- you can find that storefront here.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I want the pink T-shirt!!!!

Yeah, they're pretty cool, aren't they? I figured if anything had the potential to take off as a real Stick Figure Drama Brand it was Bi-Polar Gemini girl. I was seeing everything -- t-shirts, mugs, action figures, plush dolls, the whole nine yards.

And especially pink t-shirts! With a wacky super-hero on it. And Halloween costumes!

Todd said...

Halloween costumes! Brilliant!

Wait...I'm sensing another book marketing idea here...

elise_on_life said...

Wow! I should be a publicity agent, or whatever they're called!

Bi-Polar Gemini Girl will soon be seen walking the streets of WL with her recently rejuvenated faithful invisible karaoke-singing badger . . .

And watch as the general public scratches their head at this mysterious woman, clad as a superhero, carrying a leash that appears to be around the neck of nothing at all.

Ah, general public. You're so much fun to mess with.

elise_on_life said...

See! You do care what they think! (in a twisted, bitter, jaded kind of way)

Todd said...

Hey, what are you doing hijacking this comments thread with that point from a completely different comments thread!? Good gravy, you're not going to let that go, are you?

elise_on_life said...

I have a very integrated mind.

Todd said...

"Integrated"...

Is that what they're calling it these days.

elise_on_life said...

Yes, yes they do. If you have any contention with this, take it up with them.

Todd said...

Should I even ask who these mysterious "they" are...?

elise_on_life said...

You brought them up!

Todd said...

Oh, sure, now it's my fault!

elise_on_life said...

No, no blame-casting here. I'm just remarking that you, indeed, were the party that brought the illustrious "them" into our comment conversation. So, perhaps you shouldn't be the one asking for a definition of "them."
