ThinkGeek & UPS
So, when you ship your ThinkGeek order to the wrong address, talk to them via live chat. Then call UPS at 1-800-PICK-UPS (742-5877). Then talk to ThinkGeek again if UPS gives you guff. "Josh H" ftw.

Geeky female t-shirts
I was surfing ThinkGeek and Jinx for some more geeky babydoll tshirts (and what kind of crap is "babydoll" as a tshirt style name?) and I didn't find anything that I liked that I didn't already own. Whereas a lot of the guy-style tshirts were pretty cool. Also, there are over 200 designs for guy-cut tshirts, while there are only 115 "babydoll" stylings on ThinkGeek.
Also, there are female geek underpants. Which I think is a little strange, frankly. But to each their own. I didn't check whether there were guy geek boxers, because I know that you can get Star Wars boxers in any Target and frankly I also don't care that much about equality of the sexes at the moment.
So I stood up and did some thinking about t-shirt designs. Here are a few ideas.
1. "RTFM, n00b" caption with some graphic suggesting that all romantic applicants for my attention should first Read The Fucking Manual (hint: NOT the man pages)
2. (white Courier text on black background) "The man pages can't help you here."
3. Hello World scripts in Ruby, Python, and Haskell (Stacked, with small stylized Rosie the Riveter graphic)
4. (white Courier text on black background) "Your private key is insecure"
5. (white Courier text on black background) "I do not want your public key"
6. These two lines of Perl (bonus points if you can tell me what they are)
print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo "16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<>
)]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0
In short, I do not want a female geek tshirt that has flowers, unicorns or other equines, sexual innuendo, or "geek inside" on it.
As I do have some graphic design experience (not much, but perhaps enough) I'm considering trying to make and sell some of these. However, CafePress, despite being popular, is too goddamn expensive. I'm looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?
