*Channe mutters idly about really needing to get a life, as she opens up Adobe Illustrator once more.*

Ooo. Wait. Adobe Illustrator -is- my life. I had forgotten. (Really.)

Ok, how's this, folks. Credit the first one to... ooo, I forget who it was, back in the Gus Lynch thread. On the bottom of the design, they'll all say: "b5lr.com/jan19"

As it is, I can't do much - I know nada, zip, zilch about the show. Which, as our favorite Vorlon says:

Actually the most likely thing for JMS to have been referencing with the phrase:

"We stand on the bridge and No One may pass"

is "Horatio at the Bridge" from "Lays of Ancient Rome" by Thomas Babbington Macaulay

It's too long to post the whole thing here, but here's verses 29, 30 & 31...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> ...
XXIX

``Haul down the bridge, Sir Consul,
With all the speed ye may;
I, with two more to help me,
Will hold the foe in play.
In yon strait path a thousand
May well be stopped by three.
Now who will stand on either hand,
And keep the bridge with me?''

XXX

Then out spake Spurius Lartius;
A Ramnian proud was he:
``Lo, I will stand at thy right hand,
And keep the bridge with thee.''
And out spake strong Herminius;
Of Titian blood was he:
``I will abide on thy left side,
And keep the bridge with thee.''

XXXI

"Horatius,'' quoth the Consul,
"As thou sayest, so let it be.''
And straight against that great array
Forth went the dauntless Three.
For Romans in Rome's quarrel
Spared neither land nor gold,
Nor son nor wife, nor limb nor life,
In the brave days of old.

I totally missed this thread today. I guess I was so excited that I actually got the t-shirts! I was so worried there for a while that I missed my chance.

Anyway, I immediately took some digital photos and posted them on my web site. I then trotted off back to B5LR.com to post them only to see KoshN beat me to it.

Well, mine are a bit different perspective and quite a bit easier on the bandwidth as well so I don't feel that it was time wasted. Enjoy!

You are supposed to wear a short-sleeved T-shirt in the winter? I guess that's laboring under the assumption that most theaters freeze you in the summer and boil you in the winter months, right?

Oh, well, anything for the cause.

I'm just sitting here contemplating our first snow of the season. I live in southeastern Arizona, and we have snow already. And not just a dusting, either. I would not be wearing a T-shirt right now, that's for sure!

I bet many people will wear them over something else, anyhow. They look good, and will probably get people asking about it, which is the whole point. So good luck spreading the word, folks. I'll see if I can sneak in a reference or two to it next semester to my students without violating any school policies.

If nothing else, I'll tell them not to call me at home that night because I'll be glued to the tv.

Thanks, B5. I needed a good laugh this morning. We go into finals tomorrow, and most of my students are skipping the review days. *Sigh*

We are all looking at the highest withdraw rates and flunk rates in years. It's going to be a tough week.

I'll just picture a t-shirt with "The Anla'Shok... We Ain't ALL Virgins!" when I need a laugh!

Well, I have about 6 designs so far (made 'em last night while watching War Without End II). It won't be hard for me to add that one, hypatia, if you really want it!

Given our tradition on b5lr.com of being... hmm, shall we say, "a little raucous," such a t-shirt should fit right in.

They have a saying where I work, which is: "don't get Channe started, or she'll never quit."

You could always wear a long sleved shirt, say a turtleneck, underneath the t-shirt.

I guess I'll just have to make some of my own.

Ok. Here's one of the designs I've come up with, in teensy thumbnail format:

I Went To Z'ha'dum And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

If you folks approve, I'll go and post the entire bunch somewhere. They're the same basic format (font and stars).

Well, I did make 'em JPG(0) so they're as compressed as possible. They were ~800K apiece before I compressed 'em. I did do 'em in a hurry though, and just left some of them the default size of 1600x1200, which is what my digicam is always set up to capture.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


Well, I guess I just took more time than you did.

I made a web page and thumbnails for them for the ease of viewing. You know me and my abhorrence of the horizontal scroll.

All my pics were 1600x1200 JPG which started out between 350K and 1016K. I then reduced them all to 550x413 JPG so they ended up being between 23K and 46K. Quite a vast improvement I must say.

I have noticed that I will have to brighten them up a bit when I get home. The laptop monitor is kinda bright so I didn't notice it before ...

Sol and Sinclair97 ... you had to write in to SciFi.com to request the t-shirts. They sent out an email with the information which KoshN posted in this thread. I am not sure they are still accepting requests but it might be worth a shot.

Channe ... I have really enjoyed your shirt designs (I just wish that one wasn't so LARGE) and slogans even if I have not commented on them so far. I cannot decide which one I like best!!
