the thing itself and not the myth

I’ve been carrying reusable grocery bags for a while now, which I like a lot, but I wasn’t such a fan of advertising for the grocery stores I got them from.

Last month I stopped at the craft supply and picked up some fabric paint, then asked folks over at the ephemeral blog to talk me out of writing Al Gore facts on my bags.

They failed to do so. The results live after the jump; may it be on their souls.

The base paint came out brighter than the example at the store, but I am okay with that. Two coats covered the original logos quite nicely, and now I can pretend my bags are from outer space.

The morning light is a bit wonky, but they look totally awesome in person. They read “Al Gore taught the Kool-Aid Man how to burst through walls”, “Superman owns a pair of Al Gore pajamas”, “Al Gore can simply walk into Mordor” (my favorite), and “Al Gore once finished ‘The Song That Never Ends’”)

YAY.

I have three bags still. Must collect more facts!
