Until now, I've always had to disappoint the questioner, informing them that such undies just don't exist. :( <p> Today that changes. I'm proud to announce the opening of the <a href="/store">happypenguin store</a>, where you can buy shirts, hats, mugs, mousepads and even boxer shorts sporting the logo of your favorite Linux games database, all for far more than you'd expect to pay for such items! Imagine your too-soft geek belly stretching out the front of a 100% cotton Linux Game Tome shirt! <p> Yikes! Can banner ads be far behind? Well, no, but I will make a buck or two from each item sold. I promise to spend all proceeds on beer for my own personal consumption. I'm worth some free beer, don't ya think? | Shameless commercialism | default | |
