Vaccination Button Freebie

Forums:

I saw a new graphic from Stanley Mouse on Reddit last week, and I liked the design so much I had a bunch of buttons made up. (I realize this is a blatant copyright violation, but I'm not making a cent on these, and see sharing Mouse's work as something like a public service.)

button.jpg

If you'd like a button, post a pic of your vaccination card in this thread, and then send me a self-addressed stamped envelope with $0.75 postage on it, and I'll mail you out a button; if you're not in the States, email me (my address is in my profile) and we'll figure something out. Here's my mailing address:

Mike Edwards
PO Box 1363
Frazier Park, CA 93225

This offer will be open until I say it's not. Fuck Covid.

Awesome I'm in. I'm vaccinated and have also administered a few thousand personally so far so hopefully I qualify!

For safety and security's sake, it's recommended that you obscure your last name and DOB before posting a pic of your card.

Good point, judit. I'm thinking folks can physically cover that info, or blur pixels if you know how to do that.

PXL_20210324_190223512.jpg

Tried posting but I'll just email it to you. Every photo no matter how I resize it seems to be too big or whatever for this site

Fishcane, you're good and then some; you've been fighting the good fight. Just mail me a SASE.

In fact, I'm going to scrap the posting a pic requirement. I just ask that folks have had at least one jab before they send me a SASE.

I'd love a button! My second Moderna was 2/16, so I'm fully vaxed.

Mail on the way ~ thanks!

Cool thread 

Good thing there are only 12 people on the Board and you got 20 made up, otherwise some of us wouldn't have a chance at one. It'll be mid-May before I have my second shot. Can I leave a deposit?

Awesome offer, Mike!

I'm not posting my card but I'll be getting my second shot on Friday and would love a button

 

 

https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2021/02/social-media-no-place-covid-19...

 

 

fuck Covid, fuck anti-vaxxers and MAGA Qnuts

First jab qualifies you, BK, and I got a few more than 20 made up, so I'm thinking I should have enough for anyone who wants one, but maybe the zone will surprise me.

Nanc, I scrapped the card pic requirement. Just send me a SASE.

I get to sign up on Monday morning, and I can't friggin' wait! 

Mike- can I text it to you? 

(Just got 1st shot yesterday).

Earl, just send me a SASE with $0.75 postage and you're good to go.

Thanks mike, getting my second shot on Easter Sunday ! 

Mike

What size shirt do you wear?

I wear a large, Tim. Thanks. Will it be dipped in acid? lol (I really love chain reactions of generosity.)

To be clear, in a bigger, bolded font and a bulleted list, if you'd been Covid vaccinated (at least one jab) and would like a button:

  • Send me a self-addressed stamped envelope with $0.75 postage.
  • There is no need to post a pic of your vaccination card, but
  • Please make a post here so that I can kind of keep track of requests.
  • Fuck Covid.

Awesome 

 

I also was thinking of getting some made up (from Sticker Mule) and I also can't post a picture for the life of me on the zone

 

but I will be sending you an SASE and a copy of my second dOSE having been completed last week At the stadium where GD 50 opened

 

tight on and TYVM

Thank you for your generosity. I will be sending an SASE. So nice of you.

You're welcome, judit, but check your email before you do that.

Got it, Mike.yes smiley

To be clear too, your personal information (real name and mailing address) will not be recorded, used, or exploited in any way. I'll just stick a button in the SASE, seal it, and send it on its way. Scout's honor.

Thanks Mike. Way to spread some positivity! I'm in. 

Not Vaccinated yet

but

Mike YOU Are One COOL Guy ! Rob yesyes

Just got the heads up on this!

way cool!

Has my first 2 weeks ago!

I would love a button- please and thank you!

will mail off tonight :)

> Not Vaccinated yet

I think I should loosen the restrictions and say that if you plan to get vaccinated, you're in if you want a button. Just send me a SASE as outlined above.

Cool Offer...

SF County now in Orange Tier and expected to enter least retrictive Yellow (3weeks required). Woohoo

The Mouse exhibit at HSAC will be extended and re-open soon.

SASE on the way

 

 

Hello. I would love  a button. I have had both of my shots, Pfizer, back in February. I am a patient at UCSF & they called & invited me. My 1st one was on 2-5-2021. I must say I was happy to get the vaccine. 

Thank you for your kind offer. I would post a picture of my card but I am too lame to be able to do it. So far no one has been stalking me & I doubt they will.

I will send the envelope tomorrow. 

& FUCK COVID.

Speaking of Covid between my family & my wife's family there has been 15 cases of Covid that I know of with no deaths. FUCK COVID.

I am getting my first shot tomorrow, first time I feel bad for marry a younger woman though, wife is not eligible yet. 

I'm in on this very nice offer. Thank you, Mike. I'm a month past #2 and my wife gets #2 on April 9th.

I'll never forget getting my first dose - on Inauguration Day! Wore a GD face mask someone had sent me. Guy working asked "Do you have a favorite GD song?" I replied, "Today, it's 'He's Gone.'"

My brother (got antibodies) and sister (went to hospital for 10 days) got COVID. Dumbass f'in religious zealot republicans. 

I went into work today and laminated my original card and made a wallet-sized card. I was laminating a different medical card anyway. Might come in handy someday. 

Nice humble brag, fabes ;-)

Mike, what button / pin can I send to you?

many choices

 

The Jerry Fimo is the most emotional for me

LLTD, I'll leave that up to you. Thanks so much.

Mrs Seamonster got 1st jab Tuesday and I got mine yesterday. See what a little leadership can do.

We'd love buttons if you got em Mike. Or if there is a limit we can share one. Thanks!

Sigmund, include a note about this request when you send the SASE and I'll hook Mrs. Seamonster up. And the same goes for others who might be in a similar situation.

Hi Mike! this is cool. Hopefully not too late to the party for wife and myself. We both got round 2 last week. Will send out today. Thank you!

Hey now, Mike!

My wife and I would each love a button.

Thanks for the offer. yessmiley

SASE on the way.

Hello Mike, I mailed my & Roshambo's envelopes out today. Thank you.

>>>Good thing there are only 12 people on the Board and you got 20 made up, otherwise some of us wouldn't have a chance at one<<<

Mike, please include the button you made for 2Dank to my request...

haha

Cool beans Mike.   SASE on its way (3x5 index card not included).

Love this idea, big thanks!

Scored an appointment for this Saturday! 
Will prepare my SASE..

got my first jab yesterday!

Pfizer

SASE headed your way tomorrow

Mike, I wanna THANK YOU... for a real good time, er, button

> please include the button you made for 2Dank to my request

lol. I was thinking I'd like to pin it on him myself. Sorry about that, Dan. My hands don't usually shake this much.

I'm really looking forward to having my snail mailbox blow up next week.

First jab done and SASE sent!

I'm blind as a bat.

Got my first jab almost a few weeks ago. My second is in 10 more days. SASE on the way.

Thanks, mike

So, 2 forever stamps should cover it?

very cool offer 

Two forever stamps will cover it, and then some, Mark.

That's all I got on hand.

NOICE!

Mike, will the PO let ya send buttons through the mail in a #10 envelope without screaming about their processing machines?  And not turn the letter into a package with higher rates? Just wondering. 

Slick, that's why I posted $0.75 postage. They can't go flat rate because they can't be machine sorted. A forever stamp plus $0.20 will do it.

I asked the lady for 2 $.75 stamps. I hope that is what I got.

If she gave me the wrong stamps please let me know & I will send you 2 more. Thank you.

You freaks are fucking amazing.

I just got back from the PO, where I picked up the second batch of return envelopes (which will be going back out tomorrow), and was surprised to find one package with a couple of envelopes, and a little something extra, which I won't divulge here unless the sender says it's cool to do so. I will say thank you very much for sharing though; I wish you could have heard my laughter when I opened the gift.

Crabneesh, the stamps you have on your envelopes should be perfect. They're marked "Non-machineable surcharge" and I believe that's exactly what's needed. If not, I'll cover any difference.

I'm not a religious person, but I'm feeling blessed this morning, and I hope you all are too.

Thank you Mike. Please feel free to share/post any images you like. Everyone knows I am crazy. Please have a good day. 

Thank you, crabneesh.

So the gift I received from crabneesh is a little switchblade knife, along with a laminated card explaining it's legal status. I busted out laughing when I opened the package, and managed to only nick my finger a little bit the first time I opened it.

Zoners are the best.

PXL_20210328_195514877.jpg

> Everyone knows I am crazy.

An afterthought: The world needs more of this kind of crazy.

Cool, I have a switch blade that looks like a pistol. It was a gift. I guess I need to measure the blade..


first shot w/wife moderna 3/26

 

thinking about a neck tat

 

thanks bro

 

Hey Mike,

There's an envelope in the mail for you as of last week, thanks for doing what you're doing!

Ha

Bringing a switch-blade to a Pandemic fight...

Some freak probably sent him some doses........................

Signed up for mine this morning. It routed me to an opening for the J&J on Saturday, but there were no openings. I"m signed of for the first of 2 on 4/13.

> Some freak probably sent him some doses

But that would just be wrong, Tim, and a likely violation of the postal code as well, I'm sure.

BTW, your package arrived today. Thank you very much doesn't really do it, but those are the only words I have for such generosity. Yours is going out tomorrow.

In case ya' missed this Saturday night... "Boomers got the vax"- pretty funny.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hekDuCBxCc

Just got back from the PO again with another batch of SASEs; the next batch will go out tomorrow afternoon. It's a trip to be getting some real mail for a change, and of course some are trippier than others.

Ken, the return address on your envelope made my heart skip a beat. Aw, man. Who the fuck is suing me now?

Stringtwang, thank you very much for the Mikel sticker, but how did you know I was at the Harrisburg, PA show in 1983?

The one that really blew my mind though had a Santa Ana postmark on the incoming envelope, but the SASE is for an address in upstate NY. Here's a pic.

PXL_20210329_235429672.jpg

Oh, and by the way, if your button gets damaged in transit, send me an email and I'll send out a replacement. The first ones I sent out didn't have a problem, but the one I sent my mom got mangled by the post office.

I was thinking of sending a bubble mailer just for that reason. Hope they treat it like a letter and not a package. 

The ones I'm sending from here on out will have some protection. I made sleeves of 3x5 cards to smooth things out a bit.

I don't know who is in Santa Ana, but I got a Christmas card each year for 2 or 3 years from someone saying it was from .net, with that postmark. Anonymous, of course.

sad thread

It's a mystery to me, judit, but I stuck a button in the SASE and I'll mail it off with the others tomorrow.

Mailed my bubble today, Mike. You'll get it Saturday. Just throw my stamps on it and throw it in a PO box, avoid the clerks. We'll see what happens.

>>> how did you know I was at the Harrisburg, PA show in 1983?<<<

The crow told me..... 

Thanks,  Mike!

11D7A97F-4F18-4E86-B4C6-C6F4DA41F2D4.jpeg

Mine just arrived, unbattered by the USPS.  Thanks, Mike!

((((( Unbattered )))))

It sounds like only 2 out of about 50 have gotten mangled so far. As I mentioned about, if your button got beaten up, mangled, or battered in transit, send me an email, and I'll send you a replacement.

J&J had a major fuck up which will slow down distribution of the vaccine. 15 million doses just tossed. 

With a surge in new Covid cases happening around the globe and in many US cities, this ain't over yet. So glad I received my vaccine but I'm concerned that there's going to be some major  set backs due to the vaccine supply shortage combined with the utter stupidity of people rushing to return to "normal". Yeah, I'm looking at you, Florida and spring break morons

My cousin in Paris wrote me this morning that her son needs ACL surgery after an injury and because the hospitals are full with Covid patients there, the surgery will have to wait. She's a teacher and has yet to receive the vaccine, and they just announced a 3 week shut down, no more in person school. Yay?

Hey Mike. I just received my envelope but the glue didn't stick or it came open so no contents. But please don't worry. I leave tomorrow for 1 week & will be without internet access so no problem.

My offer still stands to buy you a drink when you next visit the SF Bay Area just ask for me & even if I am not present the Bay Area people can direct you to me.

I would love to meet you.

 

crabneesh, shoot me an email with your mailing address, and I'll get another one out to you.

Awws~

sweetest offer!

any spots left to be taken?

either way ... A+++++ for effort (:

Mike I just popped off an email. Thank you.

jlp, send me a SASE and I'll hook you up.

Got your email, crabneesh. I'll send out the replacement tomorrow.

Just got home and mine was here!

Thanks much!

sporting it now!

nance.. how did J and J fuck up that many doses?!

Hadn't heard!

 

 

 

Thanks x2. Made us happy. Cheers!

20210402_143638_copy_600x773.jpg

I wore mine to the Cancer Institute yesterday. The doc asked me if I'd been vaccinated, I said yes and pointed to the button. Ohhhh, he said.

Thanks! Mine arrived, albeit in a ripped envelope.

lol my first attempt, I put my SASE  on the outside

 I could not believe how quickly i got it - till i figured out  (some of ) my stupidity - I mailed it to myself

oh well, the second time should be the charm!

 

If CRab is not around when ( if you ever) visit, I will honor his commitment...  CHEERS!

Moses got his first shot today, as did Air Drummer and I'll give them buttons. Gave one to my friend who's helping me through my ordeal.

These are wonderful, Mike.

My wife, my son amd I are all fully vaxed.  Still trying to talk the daughter in law into it. 

I'd love a button if you still got one!

Joe Buck, I do still have some left. Send me a SASE with $0.75 postage and I'll hook you up.

LLTD, you're cracking me up here. I'll be sure to send you a few extras to make up for the first time not being the charm.

mikeedwards unlike GDTS is forgiving...

Ours arrived today intact.

Thanks again for the kind offer!

2nd Pfizer dose on Thursday for us.

We're getting ready for some live and in person music. smiley

Got mine today, thanks Mike . I will proudly wear it tomorrow when I get my second shot !

^ And when they ask where ya got it, you can say "What? You don't know about Mike from the Zone?" 

Definitely will do, everyone should know mike 

Got mine perfectly in your mini-envelope today, Mike, with much gratitude and thanks for your kindness!

 

Second shot for me is 4/20. Boomer's got the vax.

This is way cool and a very generous offer, Mike. Phizer #1 for me manana and SASE en route! 

For anyone  wanting to support the artist, he's selling that image on t-shirts. Women's cuts available too!

https://mousestudios.com/schwag-2/

Thanks for the link, Nanc. I custied up for a t-shirt. Seemed like the right thing to do.

I want to add too that I'm loving seeing the buttons I sent out come back around here. Happy Oestre, freaks.

Received, Thank You

My Mother in Law is sporting it EVERYWHERE she goes!

 

>I custied up for a t-shirt. Seemed like the right thing to do.
 

Yep. I'm looking forward to receiving and wearing my t-shirt. 

Vaccine passports on their way.  Oddly people that oppose voter ID overwhelmingly support a vaccine passport.

show us your papers!

Voting is a protected constitutional right. Spreading diseases is not a protected right. 

 

 

Progress in our country is when more people can vote, not fewer. Although one would think that's a maxim that crosses party lines, it scares the shit out of the Republicans. 

Nancy, falling right in line as predicted.

Ban racket

Mike, THANK YOU so much for your generosity. A lot of great comments. 

Went to the PO Box today and sure enough, there's a note dated yesterday saying they're holding a package with $2.35 postage due. Couldn't get away with just the $1.55 in stamps already on there so a bubble mailer costs $3.90 if anybody wondered.  Arrived in tip-top shape.    

MUCH appreciation to you, Mike. 

That's not very lovely of you, love matters.

Good to hear, Tim and Slick. I think I've only had like 3 get mangled so far, out of almost 100 I've sent out. And thanks to LLTD and SeaMonster for the stuff you sent my way. I'm really reveling in the spirit of zoner generosity lately.

> Ban racket

I was going to ask him if he wants a button. If you do, Racket, shoot me an email with your mailing address, and I'll hook you up.

Let's keep this t-shirt link in play here too: https://mousestudios.com/schwag-2/

Appreciate the offer, not spot taken.

Yeah, I thought you might be concerned about a breach of security protocols or something, but people tell me it never hurts to ask.

Button arrived in good condition, thanks Mike! 

Received.   Thanks again Mike!  Keeping it real with a thoughtful and fun gesture to the Zone.

I missed the party, but I'm gonna do a couple shots anyway.smiley

1st Pfizer Tuesday AM

Bluest, the offer is still open if you want a button or two, but supplies are dwindling.

Thank you Mike! Proudly adorning my Wolf hat! Would post pic if I knew how. Thank you again and take care all Zoners!

the twin lava  brother should fix the website - making it easy to post photos

Checked Mouse's site for T shirts...GONE (bummer)

Are you sure rrg? His website is wonky AF, you might just need top poke around the t-shirt page for random scroll tables like I did (they're whited out but still work if you highlight). TBH I bailed out once I saw the shirt was going to be over $40 when all is said and done. Mouse has other swag I'd rather spend my money on at that price. 

Not to shamey you, mike, but mouse isn't a guy who enjoys seeing his work spread around without getting a cut himself. Not sure posting a link to his website selling the same design is going to be redemption in his eyes. 

Thanks for not shaming me, Dise, but I'm not sure what you mean by Mouse not getting a cut. I had 100 of these made up and I'm giving them away--not selling them--to friends and family members.

button in hand... it arrived undamaged, likely due at least in part to the judicious use of a 3x5 card and stapler to form a protective enclosure

thanks so much Mike

... so glad you made it!

Thanks again for your kindness, Mike!

We had our second dose today.

Stay healthy and safe Zoners. heart

Not to alter the topic but I have purchased a lot of mouse art objects over the years - dozens of posters n cookie jars and album art

Met him in a store/studio years ago for a set of customized workingman's Dead  prints and other rare proofs 

I'm OK with wearing a bootlegged 

button

Lest I forget, I need to say thanks here to Mark D for the salve, and to SeaMonster for the cards; the GD ones are very cool, but I'm not sure what to think about the ones for military hardware.

Me and the Missus just got dose # 2. Got any buttons left? Wouldn't mind a couple.

I sure do, Surfdead. Shoot me an email with your mailing address and I'll hook you up.

EMOTW.

Thanks.

Alright, well that's going to be the last request I can honor. It's been fun sharing these far and wide, and even better is that these little tokens symbolize our movement out of the pandemic.

Fuck Covid, and have a grateful Friday, my friends.

Thanks, Mike. Lots of folks proud and happy. Your good vibes are rippling through the universe. 

I received numerous compliments on my pin last night - one friend has a button machine and is going to start making them with her friends (free, of course) - she also envisioned making a wrist band with the image.

Nanc, I'm laughing out loud, but I won't say why. I'm thinking you'll be able to figure it out though.

^^^ I'm not sure what to think about the ones for military hardware

If nothing else they make a good extension for your match when starting a fire. I have a bunch of "Operation Desert Storm" cards.

 Thanks Mike!

The sase showed up today and the buttons were in great shape with the stapled index cards. Sweet!!  Thanks for doing this and for making the extra effort with the index cards, Mike!! This is a nice momento for getting through a very strange time. Very kind of you and your timing is great too. Just got my second Pfizer jab on Wednesday, and yesterday I watered the girls with a mycorrhizal mix, so they got a button too :-)  

20210410_144743.jpg

Got mine today. Thanks Mike.

 

Kept on meaning to put in for a couple of buttons for my wife and I but looks like I was too late.  How much to finance a second run, any interest?

Crazy Fingers, I'd have to think about that. I didn't expect to catch any flak for doing this, but that hasn't entirely been the case. Shoot me an email if you'd like to discuss this off the board.

One and done, baby! No button necessary! Thanks for the offer, Mike.

^^^Mike was kind enough to send me two, I'll be more than happy to send one out. (Might have a little resin on it)

I don't need a button to reap the emotional benefits of your extraordinary kindness Mike.

This thread brought me much-needed positivity during a rough patch.

Certainly TOTY IMHO.

Good work.

(insert sparkles and rainbows here, lol)

Yes, much ass glitter from me.

 

First shot of moderna a couple days ago.  

No side affects, except maybe a bit of fatigue. Or maybe I'm just old and tired?

Nice offer, Mike, but not really a button type of guy.

 

Well, OCLT, if you're not really a button type of guy, maybe you'd like some ass glitter instead? BK has apparently set himself up as a dispenser of the stuff.

And speaking of dispensers of glitter, ass and otherwise, I sure do miss Comes a Time.

 

Ass glitter sounds a bit off putting, Mike. But surely a novelty that will attract some.

 

Rumor has it that someone gifted David Nelson one of these buttons, and that Nelson said he loved it and put it on immediately. Needless to say, I'm more than a little pleased by this serendipitous development.

^Way cool if true^

 

I'm 13 hours post-Pfizer #1.  A little sore at the injection site, but it's like a hot spot in a fire (the fire being my usual slept-on-that-shoulder issue).

If I weren't on the clock I might be snoozin'.

 

 BIG TY BOSS!

 

If lava would let me post I would post a pic

LLTD, what do you mean by that? You can post. If there's a problem I don't know about but could possibly help, please send me an email

I apologize for posting that publicly

I do know that I'm very frustrated that I can't post pictures and have reached out emailing in the past , and understood that perhaps lava would look into Potential solutions

 

Not a high priority and probably not easy to do and most certainly wasn't intended to be participating in one of those endless pissing contests

 

I do hope you are holding up with the real life challenges

along with minding the playpen full of toddlers

 

 

 

 

I'm doing OK today, thanks. I went to a native plant nursery today and that was fun and interesting and peaceful, unlike the surgeon's office I had just been at or the way life is these days. 
It sounds like lava is revisiting the possibilities for posting pictures and if he can, I'm sure he will try and make it easier.

I was in an elevator today when 2 people got in. My companion asked them, “Vaccinated?” They said yes. The guy said there should be buttons to wear that say so. I pointed to mine, which I was wearing. They loved it. Thanks again, Mike.

Thanks for the update judit

 

My outlet and passion has been a few (several) hundred hours of gardening

mexican animal art flowers Asian and Mexican

Crêpe myrtle trees 45 new dahlias. 15 roses That are just now doing their first bloom it's freaking insaneit

looks like a Japanese tea Garden

New trees new flowers several buddahs it really is an oasis here in the burbs

LLTD, if you can email me some pics of your garden, I'd be happy to post them for you in the new gardening thread.

thanks mike got the button yesterday.  i will have your tuna tunage sent out over the weekend.  great job again on the buttons 

Mike - looking good! And thank you again!

some nice compliments on the buttons during our hike in the redwoods...

Pretty sure that's the most I ever dropped for a tee, but Lily's gonna love it (in purple, of course).heart

I'm wearing my purple shirt now V for vaccinated! 

Hey Mike..

I directed about a dozen people who liked my shirt to Stanley Mouse website - so he owes me a cut ;)

 

(and they're listed again as available for sale)

I got my t-shirt today to go with my button

Did you steal Mouse's work and make a t shirt out of it?

He stole it and made the pins to give away. A bunch of people here, to offer financial support to the artist, then purchased the shirts.

To put to bed the copyright violation issue, I received an email from Mouse Studios this morning, in which I was informed that I should have asked for permission first, and that if I had done that, permission would have been granted as long as I wasn't making any money on the buttons.

They also requested that I send them some buttons, but with my supply dwindled to just two, I'll be sending them one of the remaining ones, and keeping the other for myself.

Fun was had. Lessons were learned. Friends were made. If I had it to do all over again, would I? Oh hell yeah. In fact, I'll be launching another button giveaway this week with a different design altogether, and this time I got permission for the graphic beforehand.

Oy vey. 

 

and yep: "It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

thanks and pretty funny that some asshole felt the need to be a rat.. unless that was a bogus email? did you confirm the email and mailing address is actually Stanley Mouse?

If that story is actually for real I will wear my pirated pin with even more pride. 
 

can you tell Mr Mouse that we've all been buying his official T-shirts and if he makes up some bracelets with the image I'll buy one, otherwise I know where to get a pirated one ;)

 

 

> unless that was a bogus email?

Nanc, the sender was listed as the email address that's on Mouse's website, and it didn't appear to be spoofed, so I'm fairly confident about the origin of the message.

As for whether someone ratted me out (To Mouse? That kind of thing would unleash an Old Testament plague of rodents, I would think), I don't know, and I don't really want to know; I don't have a place for that kind of pettiness and poison in my life these days.

And I did mention that the buttons seem to have drummed up some t-shirt sales. I still should've asked first, but hopefully that buys down a little bit of any karma I incurred.

I didn't even get a button and I'll probably end up buying a piece of Mouse's artwork because of the link on this thread. I really like the "Fire on the Mountain" painting, but I don't have $10k kicking around.

>> the stink in this thread 

>> oy vey

>Did you steal Mouse's work and make a t shirt out of it?

 

Are you a rat, Timpy?

What an angry old hag.

That was a measured and better than might be expected email from Mouse Studios. They have dealt with image theft for so long... as an artist whose work has been stolen for profit, I relate, but of course their situation has been so much more extreme over the years.

Good for them, and even more, thanks to you, Mike. You've done it all like a mensch.

ok everyone who bought a GD (insert your city's sports team logo) Steelie  send a royalty check to GD productions...

 

I call dibs on The Pin Pirates for my next post pandemic band. 

Bootleg Buttoneers 

 

 

Angry Old Hags isn't bad either, thanks Racket. 

 

 

 

received 1st dose of Moderna on Friday @ the local university

ordered a shirt this morning, I hope to have it for my second dose

 

speaking of,  I came her for the bicycle day thread...

If you get it before your second  dose, just cover up the index finger and you've got a nice salute and #1

Just got ours - thanks again Mike.

I stuck mine in my hat.

Pyramid was the one who told Mouse about mikey Edward's stealing the graphic. I see he's moved on to stealing lavas logo for viva. What's ya got next for the taking, Mikey?

You don't read much, do you Timpane?

I read that he gave you a warning. Sounds like a nice guy. Maybe be careful next time you steal a graphic. Just sayin

You might want to think about working on your reading skills instead of just shit-posting all the time, Timpane.

In the OP of my new button thread, I wrote "this time, I have the explicit permission of the owner of the image to use it", and in this thread I wrote "I was informed that I should have asked for permission first, and that if I had done that, permission would have been granted". There was no warning.

>Pyramid was the one who told Mouse..

pyramid and timpy are both proud rats, imagine that! 

Did Timpy just throw his buddy under the bus for being a snitch?

Yeah, Jersey!

Yes, he did, BK, and he did so without any provocation whatsoever. Dude just doesn't know when or how to stop.

And didn't Timpane also recently make a whiny post about how we shouldn't post about people who aren't able to post?

The derp is strong with this one. Like off the charts.

With friends like that...

So. when the dust has settled, it turns out that Papa Frank is a rat. He cried and lied to admin (his bro) to get some petty revenge on a Zoner, and then dropped dime on another Zoner just to be a dick.

Wow!

Yeah, Jersey<<

 

A dim fuckstick for sure, but leave Jersey out of it.  Thanks.smiley

Oh My!

It's a good thing mouse found out and let you know you were wrong not to ask. He probably doesn't make graphics so bored old men who have nothing else to do but search the Internet all day can just take them and do whatever they want with them. Keep coming with the hate though. You guys prove your own hypocrisy on here, daily. 

I bet Timpy couldn't wait to run and tell His coworkers, how He got those meddling boomers, yet again!!

^^Condones narcing to play out some pussy-assed personal vendetta. Trash.

Bump for more buttons.

I placed an order for some more vaccinated buttons last week (with permission from Mouse this time), and they should come in any day now, so if you missed out on the first go round, I'm reopening this offer until further notice. Send me a SASE with at least $0.70 postage on it, and I'll send you out a vaccinated button.

(Where do have the buttons vaccinated, Mike?)

Today CBS News -

22 percent of Americans say they will not get the vaccine according to new poll.

As President Biden nears his 100 days in office, a recent
CBS News poll shows there’s still a large number of Americans who are vaccine-hesitant, which could make herd immunity that much harder to attain.

I figure 20% are the hard core, fooled again, trumper base. (Can't believe he still holds sway with that many merikans)

And 2% the no way no how non-vaxers.

Fucking Morons that they are.

Me, vaccinated and still masked in public, till at least this time next year.

(do you)

^ now it's funny

(At the free clinic, of course, judit.)

No shirt yet, but the billing went through.  Hoping it's just just the Ecoast factor.

F  Louis DeJoy in any case.

It took a few weeks for mine to arrive, Bluest.

Also, bump for a new batch of vaccinated buttons received this morning.

It left our county hub this AM so it's probably at my local PO.  Or on the  truck.  No mail yet today.

I get Pfizer jab  #2 on Tuesday.

Pussy-assed? Good one, lol. You're a big poopy-pants, Bk

No one wants your trash anymore, Mike. Maybe copy and paste some gin else on a button and try again?

I'll keep being me, Timpane, and you keep showing the zone your epically ineffective mixture of bile and derp. It's all good.

Keep being the guy who copy and pastes other people's art on buttons. 

Okay.

Timpy needs to loosen up, and do more Pilates.

 

Timpy, I can see that you're looking for a power struggle, and I'm not going to do that with you. The expectation is for you to not call names and attack. I'm willing to help you with the skills to meet that expectation, so when you're ready let me know. Until then, please take some time to yourself.

What are you talking about, #2?

I know it's hard for you to use pro-social skills. When you're ready to try we'll be here to help. Take some more time.

I was able to wear my button yesterday

At a private home EXCELLENT cover band concert

it helped facilitate giving some hugs to some friends I haven't seen for a while

Including a Zoner that is one of judit's favorites

the band and audience kicked freakin ass

 

in terms of WOW:

simply put, Ezra Lipp is a savant drummer

He just flows so effortlessly.... With the world's wide range of styles subconsciously connecting and being delivered

 

Life has blessings remember to smell the roses

Reporting in that the buttons go through the washer and dryer without damage. I was happy and relieved.

Thanks again for the buttons, Mike. (Too bad the thread got icky along the way. )

i have had the address written down since the offer began

d'oh

lol

Jill, hit me up. I still have some buttons left.

I lost mine at Grateful Shred. If you're sending more out, can I get another, please? 

 

Sure, Nanc. Just send me an email with your mailing address, and I'll get a few out in the mail to you on Monday.
