Hold on to your hats! No, the Book Mailer is not venturing out into the clothing business, but we've had several requests from our loyal fans who want to show off the LaFontaine logo on their heads. So of course, we just had to oblige. The hat will sport an embroidered bright-green Emergent Sparkle Pupa within our yellow banner. We weren't quite sure if you were ready for "wet dreams" on the back somewhere (keep reading...)
We remember . . .
Gary wanted to bring T-shirts to the Book Mailer. If we remember correctly, the logo would go something like "CAUTION: Private Label Flies have been known to cause wet dreams". There was some discord over this idea among the alumni staff. Clothing presented a whole new inventory issue that in no way paralleled books and flies and some thought the tone of the logo, rather, well . . . crude. Somewhat bottom feeder in style. And you never saw a T-shirt in the Book Mailer did you? And we can tell you Gary always regretted not getting his way. He referenced his defeat often, always with a rueful droop of shoulder and wistful tone of voice.
