I got this idea from the fridge thread, and from something I saw this past weekend. While jogging around and warming up for the local Race for the Cure, I noticed that the Komen Foundation had really expanded their line of RFTC items. What started as a table of shirts, keychains, pens and mugs is now a tractor-trailer's worth of pink-hued, beribboned gear.
So I thought, "What if EE had a gift shop? What could we sell there to make some money?"
If there were bumper stickers, mugs and T-shirts, what would they say? How about popular magazines/books? What titles would the gift shop offer? Games? Videos? Gadgets?

Trying to think of a coffee mug as good as Seattle's "I rode the SLUT" (I wanted to ask my Uncle to get me one since he lives there, but he's a little too religious. Maybe I should ask Donna if they still sell them? AND...it's not dirty, it's the South Lake Union Trolley or something like that Residents were protesting)

I can see a Dark doll in parachute pants or the one in the pink teddy and pearls. Those would be best sellers.

As far as a game I'd think the Whack a Troll would be a huge hit.

I wonder if a miniature couch from the Shack, complete with mystery stains, would sell?
How about a complete collection of Tina's favorite adult beverages, packed in a collectible carton with room for, oh, about 48 bottles?
A set of beer coasters, "The Best of the EE Avatars" collection.
And side-by-side on the bookshelf: the Cheesipedia and Iowa Swirl's "White Trash Translation Guide."

--LOL-- That's just perfect Nancy. How about another board game? The Doow Game; the first player to get his Toyota around the board without being recalled wins.

As long as it comes with this disclaimer: "Can accommodate up to 4 players, but don't be surprised if one player decides to hog all the fun."

Batteries; by the case.
