Dammit! Now my @ACraigL shirt will look outdated!
/wootstalker https://shirt.woot.com/offers/toys-were-us
Toys Were Us
Price: $19.00
Condition: Probably New
@narfcake You say “outdated”, I say “collector’s item”. It’s all in the spin!
@narfcake Saw that. I’ll believe it when it actually comes back, but I already have a sequel planned in the event it comes to fruition. Spoiler: It’s a phoenix instead of a giraffe.
@ACraigL
I would have said the same about Hostess, and yet the new owners managed to resurrect the brand. Albeit as a much lower quality product line.
@ACraigL @ruouttaurmind @narfcake
This was the first thing I thought about when I saw the headlines this morning, lol.
@narfcake This shirt was my first thought too! My second thought is that I never bought one (remedied that now).
@ACraigL I definitely want a Phoenix version!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! quick… corporate sabotage anyone?
i’ve gotten SO many compliments on @ACraigL’s shirt!
Geoffry has joined the undead?
@parodymandotcom Crap. Now we’ll have zombie giraffes to contend with in the zombie apocalypse.
@mehcuda67
Hm. I’ve only worn my shirt a couple of times.

I guess I’ll have more to talk about now when someone comments on my shirt.

Why did Game of Thrones come to mind when I saw this topic’s title?
@baqui63 .Me too. I really didn’t want to see that little prick again, especially undead.
@baqui63 that’s Joffrey. Geoffrey is a fun play on giraffe and Jeffrey.
@baqui63 @RiotDemon Is that true? I thought it was (and is) just a name, albeit an alternate spelling.
@ACraigL @baqui63 maybe I’m wrong. Maybe they just picked the name because it has the same sounding beginning but spelled with a G like giraffe. When I worked there, everyone pronounced it like the standard Jeffrey.
@ACraigL @baqui63 @RiotDemon If it’s any indication, I have only ever heard the name that’s spelled ‘Geoff’ pronounced as ‘Jeff’.
I always pronounced it Gee Off with a hard G, like clarified butter (ghee)
@ws1o TIL clarified butter is called ghee.
But im positive this is just an alternate spelling of Jeffrey, with soft G. Like GIF.
@ACraigL I know, I’m just screwin’ around
