It's funny you should bring this up, daniel (and don't worry about thread necromancy -- it's okay when you have something relevant to say). See, right now I'm having severe money problems, and I've been wondering if it's finally time to try and get some extra income from this site, at least for a while. I could just post my PayPal button, but I wouldn't feel right taking "charity"; I'd much rather be a vendor than a beggar. So I've been giving serious thought to finally getting that T-shirt thing off the ground.

What I'm going to do is find out what it would take to set that up on my own, without going through CafePress (they take such a massive cut of the profits that I would have to charge through the roof to make anything substantial). If it looks like a realistic possibility, I'll run a poll on what products you guys would be up for, and make some sample images for your consideration. The images will take some careful design, since I can't use anything trademarked by Paramount -- fair use only protects stuff I don't make money from. The clock logo is all mine and represents the site nicely, so it'll probably be the centerpiece of these designs.

In the meantime, why don't we use this thread for brainstorming? The more I hear from you guys about this, the better I'll be able to judge how to do it. Ideas? Suggestions? Pie?
