Hey @arattea the link for the TouTube video doesn’t work.
@aratrea See above.
Thanks for the catch! Should be up now.
Awesome.
I. Need. One. Of. These. OH MY GOODNESS. I can’t believe you actually did it.
I can’t either. =P But Daniel insisted.
What else could I buy for $14.99? Books! Books, of course! Daniel, you’re going to have a hard time marketing a t-shirt to most of us KeePers — we’re all broke, and if we get any money, we’d follow Erasmus and buy books, and then, if there’s a little left over, bread and shoes.
*chokes on lunch because of this brilliant reference*
Erasmus’ quote is one of my favorites. Words to live by. *nods*
I didn’t realize a power strip could be used as a microphone. ?
In Daniel’s hands, anything can be used as a microphone. 😛
Oh my goodness, that is the best. XD I now officially want to buy this. Admittedly I will have to think about it though because it’s going to be about $40 for me because of international shipping and converting US dollars to Australian. D: And that’s a lot of money. BUT STILL it’s a Kapeefer shirt so that’s a definite plus…
Yipes. Yeah, that is a high price. =P Tough decision.
Does the shirt say “Do not go to kingdompen.org” on the back? ?
Oh; that would be brilliant. Unfortunately, it was not brilliant enough for us to think up when designing the shirt.
I can’t believe these are actually a thing now xD
(and Daniel, I can buy a book for $14.99 as well….)
I was honestly surprised Anna didn’t give that answer in response when Daniel asked her that question…
Wow. Okay. I havn’t laughed so hard in a long time (well, since I had watched the Allegory video a few minutes before)
Daniel really is a gem at doing off-the-cuff humor.
He certainly is
