Side QOTD: Nope!
QOTD: My favorite T-Shirt is one that I got from Joyce Kim (The GigaOm Show on Revision3). I got the shirt thanks to Jason Calacanis who happened to be interviewing Joyce through Qik.com that day. He asked her if she would like to give shirts away to the first ten people to email her and I was lucky enough to be one of them!

P.S. I actually got this shirt like three days after getting my gift from @SantaGaryVee !!

Haven’t tried an Egyptian wine.

I bought this shirt in Australia at a souvenir store and am waiting for a good time to wear it to my weekly management meeting

I got the schwag note! woohoo. OMG! I’ve watched 500 episodes! I’ve commented on 300 of them! I bought the first two secret paks! (no schwag) my neighbor bought the next one – he got a free wrist band! ahhh! smile. haha. wow.

SQOTD: nope. can’t wait. Egyptian wine…

Muslims drink – just not letting others know. secret things!

Maybe belongs in a paper bag? hahahahaha. 6000 year old wine makers, what did you expect? ha. I actually can’t wait to try some! The Yellowtail of the Nile! There ya go!

We all hope your hair grows back!

Egyptian wine, who’d thunk it

QOTD: Without a doubt, one that reads, “My imaginary friend thinks you have serious emotional problems.”

Thanks for the schwag. Nice way to reward everyday commenters.

Thanks for the schwag, you did come thru! No Egyptian wine and I am not really a graphic tee kinda girl, but I do have a few solid colored ones that I love. Of course, if there is a WLTV tshirt in my pack, then that will be my fave!

ps. the haircut is growing on me, you look good today…

A resounding NO as to whether I’ve ever had Egyptian wine. The most unlikely country that I have every drank wine from is Slovenia and it was mediocre at best. Some areas of the world are just not meant to grow wine.

QOTD: The one I got at the PGA Championship at Baltusrol

Hey Gary

Bring some real thunder and get down with some Chinese, Korean and Japanese wines … some interesting things happening in China and Japan especially.

QOTD: Got to lvoe the tshirts. I’ve got two favourites. One made for a mates 21st with “Ben Camm’s a Growler” and a very ugly photo of the bloke plastered across the front. The other is a very old Triple J t-shirt (an Australian radio station) that’s falling apart, but still glows a little bit in the dark. Sorry no links…

Cheers

Woohoo, thanks for the Scwhag! Posting almost every day pays off!

I did a double take when I read your shirt, thought it said…you know.

And nope, I didn’t even know Egypt was making wine, would have thought it would be a little warm for that.

Thanks again, love you guys!

Have not had an Egyptian wine, and I agree with you so much regarding the trying of new products. You will find some duds every so often but will also find some gems to compensate.

Recently retired my all time favorite so no picture, but the logo was – -

“Want to make a policeman come?”
Dial 911!

Well Gustav kept me rather busy so I’ll leave comments for yesterday and today.

First I believe you forgot he QOTD yesterday.

No I have never had an Egyptian wine.

I prefer your hair a little longer. The crew cut reminds me of being a little kid in the 50’s when I had the same cut.

I have several favorite T-shirts:
WLTV original
NRA 2nd amendment shirt
“Einstein was wrong I do Understand physical science”

QOTD 1: none
QOTD 2: I love this shirt from YeeHaw Industrial Letterpress in Knoxville, TN. I’ve practically worn it out since I bought it last summer.

The back of the shirt says “If you don’t like my peaches, don’t shake my tree.”

Egyptian, no. Turkish, Lebanon, Israel, Morocco, but not Egypt.

Don’t wear t-shirts any more, so I’ll say whichever one my wife is wearing!

Never had an Egyptian wine…

Favorite T-shirt would probably be my 1996 Yankee WS Champs shirt – wore it so much that I had to retire it…
