New Austin Store--TRIPP

I came across some guerrilla marketing today for the new store TRIPP and decided I should enlighten TXOJ readers about the cool new graphic t-shit place--don't fret though, when I say "graphic t-shit" I do NOT mean those laughable/owned by overly tanned-guido-haired-Texas Staters, a.k.a. Affliction T's. Those are just plain embarrassing, and if you're a reader of this blog and own one of those... you've been warned. Oh, and don't think Ed Hardy is excluded in that circle of holey-inappropriateness. 

Anyways, TRIPP specializes in shirts/hoodies/dresses with actual screen printing of rock bands, various images, your own designs, ect. It's a great concept and fits in well with Austin's vibe. I met the owner before the store opened a few weeks back and he is quite the kool kat, especially since he eliminated one of my list of things to do before I graduate-- closing down that annoying store Flirt!

Ugh, that store and that dumb tagline they used "Flirt... because you can!!"

Seriously? How about using something we like to use in advertising called the truth. If Flirt were wise they would have chosen my tagline, "Flirt... because you want a free drink!!" Had they been more truthful with their slutty shirt intentions then maybe they would still be in business. Perhaps they would have then hired me to work on their POP displays as well. I would have kept with the truth theme, real slutty shirts would hang under the "Top Shelf" display and modest shirts would be hung under the "luke warm beer cans" display. Just saying, when you let customers see the benefit in buying your product...you have loyal customers for a life time!

I hope TRIPP considers such ideas and best of luck to them! Go check them out in Flirt's old store above Quizno's off of 24th.

TXOJ Issues....

Dear TXOJ readers,

On April 1, 2009 some real cool cyber squatters squatted my old site www.texasorangejuice.com.

I bought a new domain and blog from Google www.txorangejuice.com. however, Google is being a big ol' chach and the domain for some reason won't mesh with the blog.

People, I am a shit talker extraordinaire--not a computer nerd...so please bare with me and my shitastic site. I was able to save most of my old post, but pictures on the old blogs do not want to cooperate. And yea...I admit I'm lazy and rarely post, but you would be surprise to know that I have over 100 blog postings and the likelihood of me going through it all is about as likely as me graduating on time.

So fellow TXOJ readers you will now be able to access the worst of Texas' juice at www.TXOJonline.com in three days... for now just stick to www.TXOJonline.blogspot.com and don't complicate things.

AND

DO NOT go to www.texasorangejuice.com! Because the douche-nozzles who squatted me and wanted me to pay $1,999.00 to have my domain back can shove a huge orange...or oranges if they're real kinky... up their pie-hole, and that skank that's on their website in front of the tower can go kill herself.

Sincerely,

TXOJ

Shut UP....if you're in the PCL.




I'm sitting in the new study area of the PCL (the one that doesn't smell of mold) and people...when no one is talking and the room is dead silent--take that as a hint to can it!

One woman sitting to my left feels it's legit to talk on her cell phone in front of everyone. And well, that's not legit. I would mention this to the Paula Cole look alike but she looks like a women's gender studies professor--and you know those bitches don't play (unless it's hockey).

Her three different prints of paisley along with her flowey skirt and head bandana make me want to kick this abuser of cell phones back to Little House on the Prairie and let Laura Ingalls teach her how to use a fucking telegraph.

People are now starring at this one time Lilith Fair attendee and I'm voting that the Latino women at my 12 o'clock is about to say something--it's obvious her spices are getting heated. Viva la silencio!
