I like the first one the best but having a shirt with just that small square of red and orange is a bit bizarre I think.
Would probably be better as a large print in black and white.

it feels weird that the court storyline of Get Fuzzy started with the ferret (and others talking for them) saying they were gonna destroy Bucky, but i dont think the ferret was ever featured in the show at all. i mean yes Bucky destroyed himself but i think that's pretty different. let the ferret speak.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.


Putting way too much thought into this.

Melody Grand Prix is the name Norway gives to their selection process for the yearly Eurovision entry. https://eurovisionworld.com/national/norway/melodi-grand-prix-1981 all the groups were Norweigan (was that the rule back then? I know Eurovision criteria for who can represent a country have shifted over the years).

Maybe they were talking about the Belgian and Israeli entries in Eurovision itself? Let's see, Israel had Halayla by Hakol Over Habibi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEcK4VLkoNU and Belgium was Samson by Emly Starr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN1_6KWhIuw

Hmm, nope. Ah well, have some disco.
