Buy our crap

I made these for myself, but these make perfect gifts for anyone on your Christmas gift list!

(Actually, they don’t make perfect gifts, because they won’t make sense to anyone outside the LEP readership.)

“Forsooth, sucka!” paraphernalia featuring Sir E striking a heroic pose. The T-shirts come complete with the story of how he saved Queen Elizabeth on the back (except for the Value T-shirt).

2010 Liquid Egg Product calendars. There’s a full 12 month calendar, containing both completely new images and classic images re-done for the calendar. There are also simpler calendar prints — a single, glossy 11″ x 17″ page.

You’ll notice Mr. E looks just a little different. He had to be redesigned, as CafePress was not comfortable with how similar Mr. E looked to a certain human celebrity, if you know who I mean.

No, I’m not mad and can’t really blame them. It’s probably best in the long run anyway.

Navigating the minefield

The whole selling for money thing also means some of the best stuff from the past could not be included in the full calendar. Such as the Mascot playing Kasparov in their advertisement for Captain Morgan’s rum. Or the Chess Enquirer. I could probably beg Blunderprone to get his permission to allow his image on the calendar. But the chances of getting Elizabeth Vicary’s permission is not as good, not to mention no chance with Joel Benjamin (who probably doesn’t have the foggiest idea who we are).

I also had to be careful about my graphics toolbox. For example, I was going to use Terragen for one of the months, but the free version doesn’t allow commercial use. Unfortunately, the $99 simply isn’t worth it for just one picture. (But it’s a cool program!)

    I’m disappointed you haven’t made any merchandise with those two hot-looking spy guys. I would so totally like to do some photo shoots with them. Call me, Shell Game, I want to be interrogated until I’ve told you all my secrets…

    My husband could ask those chess players to appear on the calendar. He might appear himself also.

    Are you referring to Tiger Woods or Bruce Willis?

    I have egg product on my face! I didn’t realize that Mr. E and Liquid Egg Mascot were different.

      Yeah, I don’t get this. I’m white. Mr. E is black.

    @Meghan McCain: Since the image is about two weeks old, it’s hard to consider it a “classic” image yet.

    @Mrs. Chessloser: Yes, but would he appear in a thong?

    @Anonymous: More like Humpty Dumpty, actually.

    And you didn’t know the Mascot and Mr. E were different? Oh, dear. This must be a failing on my part. This will be rectified!

      It was in reference to using this Chess Enquirer image on any commercial products. Since your likeness (and Blunderprone’s and Joel Benjamin’s) was on it, at the very least you guys would probably demand a cut of the huge* profits it would make.

      *Not huge
