[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 894562, member: 1"] I didn't realize that I had made the shop tab public yet... there was going to be an announcement about this later today, but I'll give you the gory details here. DS wanted non UPS t-shirts available as prizes for the next photo contest so I revived the store we used here 2002 - 2008ish and made some new graphics. There's only 1 design currently available. I'm working on more graphics. We were going to announce it as a peak season fund raiser with all sales proceeds to be split between St Jude children's hospital and Wounded Warriors. The first graphic that has been added is the brown monkey's uncle. The monkey is brown in reference to UPS. This is the meaning of monkey's uncle that I had in mind: [B][B]Monkey's uncle[/B] [/B] [I]Meaning:[/I] To express disbelief or skepticism at an idea, or surprise when you find something unexpected to be true. [B][B][I][/I][/B][/B] [I]Example: [/I]If Paul Martin remains in office, I'll be a monkey's uncle. [I] Origin:[/I] The publication of Darwin's theory of evolution in the "Decent of Man" was greeted with derision and a great deal of skepticism. The idea that man is related by a common ancestor to apes and monkeys was considered the most outrageous of the claims."I'll be a monkey's uncle" was originally a sarcastic remark by a non-believer of Darwin's theory and was intended to ridicule the theory of evolution. Evolution, sarcasm, skepticism, introspection, a philosophical monkey, I am the walrus, happy halloween, it can mean whatever you want it to mean. Originally the text wasn't included on the graphic but it was so neutral looking that it seemed like it needed more color and detail, so I added the red text. Maybe the text was a bad idea...
