Hmm, just noticed that SQL Server Central t-shirts are on sale here. 'A little pricey at $27.00 though, but I still may pick one up. I feel the need to buy a geeky t-shirt. 🙂
You would need to buy the dog t-shirt to get as geeky as nobody else. :-D:-D:-D

Actually, I might consider that since we have two dogs and we're moving to cooler Colorado. 😎

Uh, I guess the "spaghetti dba" should definitely buy this one, but I don't know how I would look like with it.
😛
ermmm that one is for the Junior Spaghetti DBA. Might be somewhat snug - even if you bought the large.

Nevermind, I suspect I wouldn't look good even if it was for the Sr. Spaghetti DBA...

Interesting T-shirts. I just used their custom facility to design a T-shirt with my favourite parallel execution plan on.

I apparently have nothing useful in my head today. How about a new game for PASS Summit to get people talking to each other? Paul et al wear shirts with different execution plans on them, you have to match the correct query to the plan.

Winner gets a small solar power supply good enough for one small server on sunny days to run SQL Server until civilization rises again.

You get a billboard posted by a highway in the US, and don't have to take it down for months (e.g. the end of the world that happened in may).

Are there billboards for that still up?

Oh, that's right. Didn't they say "Wait, May? We meant October!" I'm surprised they still have cash to pay for them.
