No friggin way.

Was I the first to use "Gardfather" on TB? I'd like to find the first use of it in a post, I bet it's one of mine.

Hilarious.

ROFLOLPMPPDQABBAZZTOPBBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...that's just not right...really...



I don't know whether to be honored or concerned for my own safety....



...and for the record, there's only two "X"'s in my t-shirt size, Jive. However, BS (great initials! ) is correct, beer stains increase the authenticity!

I didn't know Gardfather T-shirts were expected to be a big money venture

Then again, I didn't think Murphy Brown would make it past one season...

Haha, no one's turning a profit on these (except the internet company who's makin' the shirts for me), but if anyone wants one, I'd be happy to have it made up for the price of the shirt plus shipping and Paypal fees.

...And my extensive research (i.e. last 15 seconds) shows that Wilbyman was in fact the first person on TB to coin the term 'Gardfather' with this post:

Look how far it's come, Wilby! Unfortunately, due to the profit margin of zero I'm turning on these shirts, there are no royalties for you... but maybe someday!

Dude, any chance you can snag one for the Mrs., she's made it clear that she needs one.





Gonna set up the GTG here soon, need to get a few bits & bobs figured out first, then off we go, probably early October at this point.

Nope, I bought him one even before he knew they existed (and I even guessed the size right)!
