We've teamed up with a company just outside of Toronto to get us a more reliable supply of T-shirts. The current CafePress T-shirts just aren't cutting the mustard so these guys have stepped up to print us some decent threads and get them shipped in a sensible time. Plus we've managed to get the cost down significantly (with a goal to getting it down further).
If you're interested in a T-shirt while also being a guinea pig for the new store, you're welcome to give the CodeProject T-shirt store[^] a burl.
If you have any problems, find bugs, or have suggestions for CodeProject stuff you'd like to buy, yell loudly[^]. I did warn the guys that putting together site for 11M highly trained (or thereabouts) software developers was something only the brave do. They forged ahead regardless.

If you select a man's t-shirt, then select a size, then hover near the size label some text appears over the size you have selected. The little i icon that I was expecting to tell me how big 5XL really is does nothing.
Firefox version something.

Thanks. I've added an item[^] in the Bugs and Suggs forum

Remember who will deliver them, and what he'll be wearing...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Doesn't Sean deliver your MVP certificates in person?
If you get an email from him be careful - the lobster costume he used this year was...disturbing...

Naah. Too many miles between Canada and India.

You lucky person! The Mankini and nipple tassles combination was bad enough, but...

We tried that, but they were causing retinal damage.
Orange will appear in an upcoming design.

Put me down for an orange on white one when available! Black is too depressing!

It's annoying when you get burls on your T-shirt -- if you don't believe me, give it a whirl.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Giving it a whirl in Australia would require taking it off and swinging it, possibly causing someone to lose an eye.
A burl is far safer.

lol.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Poor judgement in no way implies poor quality, Chris. But why did Bob get relegated to the backside? He should sit proudly where, in lesser product lines, an alligator would be perched! And he should be much larger, with holographic eyes that follow the watcher.
Will Rogers never met me.

Holographic eyes with friggin' laser beams.

Awesome news.
|

I started to order one, but shipping costs to U.S. for the cheapest method were almost as much as the shirt, and all other methods were more than the cost of the shirt.
|
|
|
|
|
Shipping to the US is a little more expensive than CafePress, but the total cost is way, way less. We're hoping to get shipping costs (and T-shirt costs) down, but for now we're happy to simply have a far better quality product at a far cheaper price overall.

The expression is "cutting the muster" or "passing the muster" and not "cutting the mustard."
|
|
|
|

Possibly. Possibly not[^].
Quote: Another supposed explanation is that the phrase is simply a mistaken version of the military expression 'cut the muster'. This appears believable at first sight. A little research shows it not to be so. Muster is the calling together of soldiers, sailors, prisoners, to parade for inspection or exercise. To cut muster would be a breach of discipline; hardly a phrase that would have been adopted with the meaning of success or excellence. This line of thought appears to have been influenced by confusion with the term 'pass muster', which would have the correct meaning, but which could hardly be argued to be the origin of 'cut the mustard'. The OED, which is the most complete record of the English language, along with all of the other reference works I've checked, don't record 'cut the muster' at all. The fact that documented examples of 'cut the mustard' are known from many years before any for 'cut the muster' would appear to rule out the latter as the origin .
