Poll
Question:
the heading on the t-shirt. "snivlem or indeed?"
Option 1: snivlem
votes: 43
Option 2: indeed (indeeed, indeed!, whatever)
votes: 24
This is a 5 day only poll.
I think one FINAL poll such as this one is a good idea. As long as whatever wins GOES.
i think so too.
Well, that means 3 people like the idea of the poll :D
make that 4
godamn! what happened to "bend over crover"?
BendOverCrover!
and
Fancypants!
Isn't fancypants more of a ween thing?
fix it so we can see the result
yeah i cant see the votes
5 days. the suspense will kill
ooohhhh ok .. :D
voters will be unbiased this way, too.
i don't know if there are any curmudgeons out there who vote for the underdog just to keep it interesting.
SNIVLEM! :love:
bend over crover would have been sick
sniv
Snivlem for sure.
i voted, is it not supposed to show the talley (sic?)
I don't get this Indeed thing? Could someone explain?
It's a reference to an old interview from 1999. You might be able to find it for download around here somewhere (in another thread) if you hunt around a bit.
there are already 31 votes. most happened pretty quickly, too
i'm up for SNIVLEM, so is klump, so i don't really think we need this poll?
we should have another poll to decide wether to keep this poll or not. I'm enjoying it the suspense is "indeed" killing me.
oh wait we do. ace.
that's fine with me lunica/klump.
i guess since i made the poll i am able to view the results.....
should we let the suspense build or end it now?
polls make baby jesus cry
1. stop the vote
2. tell us the results
3. we got for snivlem, no matter what "won"
4. no more votes!
5. sound ok?
6. i thought so
7. :D
8. make a final proof w/ snivlem heading. klump and luni?
This has turned into a horrible horrible farce.
Snivlem 22
Indeed
"oh, when does the hurting stop?"
hurting makes baby jesus cry!
This is fucking lame. Two votes, and everybody wants to go with what the original artists wanted. One moderator doesn't like the results, so he puts up ANOTHER vote. Some moderator doesn't like what the artists have, so they have a vote where you can't see the results.
Finally people get tired and give in.
LAME

now that the options have been narrowed down to two, it seems that people who voted for headings other than "indeed" and "snivlem" would rather have "snivlem" over "indeed", given only those two options.
it's sort of like the way Bush was obviously the wrong choice, and if people weren't voting for the green party, he wouldn't have won.
i just stopped caring which one was chosen. its not THAT important to me, and i just wanted to sort it out, so :)
at least we're done now. i hope.
This election is crookeder' than my bent POLE.
absolutely right cavallo.
i loved lun and klump's design and idea a lot, but to tell you the truth (not to add insult to injury on the idea):
simply, I wouldn't have bought the t-shirt if it said indeeeed, because I would have told my friends what it meant, and it would have taken a long time or i would have looked like an idiot.
also, i didn't find the interview that funny, but, i don't think that was the point of their design.
they completly reflected the oddness and mystery that is the melvins, so i would have still of been sad to not of own one if i didn't buy one.
and we do need people to buy these, so we need to please all people and meet a middle ground, as we just have.
soon you'll see me with the lun/klump snivlem melvins.net shirt, and DAMN PROUD OF IT.
*swoons in a country accent*
PROUD TO BE A MELVIN, ON MELVINS DOT NET, THAT IS
i'm gonna wear it every day.
I'm thinking that i might buy two too. Or a tutu.
man, shirts wear out fast these days! its really annoying :?
i'll try to make the final design next week, and finish it all up before i'm off to london to see bigband :D
i just need to use today and tomorrow to get ahead on my stupid magazine assignment, so i can spend some time on this!
How are you getting to London?

hey thanks Vinney!
"This election is crookeder' than my bent POLE."
HAHA! and yeah I don't think crookeder is even a word, lol
by plane, of course :) ryanair's got really cheap tickets!
nah, sorry.. no chance, as i wont be printing them.. norway is expensive.
i just figured it would be nice to at least have the design done by then.
by the way, did we decide on colors? or should we wait till its all done?
so..
the "new" version will say SNIVLEM on top, i'll vectorize the bug, and fix the shadow that look like its cut right off, copy the whole image, and put it behind with a little bit of distance, with another color, so it looks like a lil bit more is happening.. and put themelvinsdotnet at the bottom. sound ok? any additions?
No, thats a wrap.
bing bang boom, done.
wraps make indeeed voters cry! :lol:
how about chicken wraps? :lol:
do they come with ranch dressing? :D
Snivlem
of course it comes with ranch dressing. you get a pickle on top as well
holy shit. is that a light at the end of the tunnel I see?
I think it IS!!
even though the poll is "officially" over, it's still nice to watch the snivlem votes come in and continue to defeat indeed
=D>
yep you're right vinney... snivlem - indeed it did win
whats up with using indeed all the time?
when no one seems to like it? :shock: :shock: :shock:
THE FINAL POLL.
the people have spoken...we can all rest easy now.
gawddammit, no it didnt work! :x am i missing something...
...other than my mind! :D
how about a shirt?
(http://its-learning.com/data/134/22089/Bilde%2016.png)
i hope that suits y'all!
how about colors?
i'm not up for white. they get dirty and yellowish after like one or two washes, and they make you look fat. :D
so, i vectorized it all, and i'll change the colors to whatever we decide on - two different ones, right?
who do i send the EPS(?) to?
I love it.
thanks :lol:
Yeah i love it too Lun. Excellent.
awesome design
niiiice.
it's all coming together

Agreed and kick ass shirt.
yea, i rigged it. how does that even make sense? how do you rig an online poll? if by "rigged" you mean "hid the results until a given date" then yes, i did that. but that doesn't change the result.
as i said before, the majority's most updated opinion should be present in the most recent poll, right?
as long as people aren't voting randomly, then if i set up this vote another time, it would have the same results.
i really don't understand your logic.
if you don't respond to this post in a way that sensibly defends your position, then we can both assume you are making no fucking sense.
i dont know why
but i would like it if it was Snivlem
radther than SNIVLEM
why can't we all just get along?? :lol:
why are people so unkind?? :lol:
sorry, just being an idiot again. carry on.
i'm not changing it to Snivlem, that would fuck up the lines :) sorry.
theres one thing we need to be clear about though.. this shirt can't be sold on ebay. if someone does that, they'll need to be punished. cause this isn't an "official melvins shirt", and i don't want people to think we're making money on this.

agreed. that would be bad. But what would the punishment be?
i dont understand...what tshirt? :-s
ooohhh. thats a good idea. whats the meaning behind 'indeed'?
it's just a reference to an old melvins radio interview.
I am going to wear mine to the next Melvins show I see.
i'm seeing them on monday, so i wont :lol: :lol: :lol:

no, i think they'd laugh.
they secretly enjoy this shit, i bet.
I think it's more along the lines of "Well, atleast they're not as gay as those toolnavy douchebags. BABOOM!"

HAHA :lol:
wow, im so not in your guys's social circle..... i have no clue whats going on.
I'm gonna wear mine all the time. At work, school, when I go out drinking, at gigs, everywhere.
Does anyone else like to wear band t-shirts of a complete 'opposite' band of the band you're attending to see? I used to. At Roadburn I wore a Wipers shirt and someone else had the same shirt! Only older and with a red logo against the black instead of my white version. Knowing only 2000 people were there (it was a damn good line up) that was a weird coinsidence. Other choices were my no crowdsurfing-shirt and my Gorilla Biscuits shirt.
A shirt of the Wizard at sXe shows is fun too. At a hardcore show, where Napalm played too, I wore my Melvins army shirt and someone game the finger - a drunken skinhead, how nice - but I had no idea why so I asked him what he meant by that. Then he pointed at my shirt and told me they suck. Good times.
:shock: So you mean drunken skinheads don't like the melvins? :lol:
Neh, I pretend not to generalize. Boy I feel like passing out. Flipper is finished and the Nightcrawlers are on tv, the Push The Felling On video. Bad 90s videos are so funny. Last week or so.... uhm.....
O, I'm back. I had to ask a friend of mine if he knew what the name of the band was. I gave hime a description of the video and he knew it too. But he DIDN'T know the name of the band and the song. And now, about 3 minutes later, we know. He' stoned too. And probably wants to make some stoner conversation on MSN. It's Stardust - The Music Sounds Better With You. First I thought of 'So In Love With You', but I knew that wasn't the one. They sound kinda similair though.
Anyway, are you a skinhead?
Me? a skinhead? No.

Oh yeah, I've reached the bottom. I am officialy stoned. I'm gonna quote myself now. This is what I found out too about the Stardust video.
QuoteThe video is a reconstruction of a childhood memory Gondry had of himself building a scaled plane while watching "Happy Days" on TV.

potassium!
and I failed chemistry in high school.
skinhead, hm.
i came across this guy's profile, he was a self proclaimed skinhead.
he said the original skinheads were "punks" that aren't racist,
and actually derive their style and manner by people in Jamaica,
or some island with black people on it, I forget.
maybe it's Long Island.
Anyway, I thought it was really stupid, and I haven't talked to him since.
wrong..
what is potassium?
:arrow:
He was right. About Jamaica, not Long Island!
