looking at the other stuff i dont think any of the artists even know she is using their artwork because i doubt one of them in particular would have given permission
#3 Oh good Lord it IS a shrinky dink, isn’t it?! We made shrinky dinks at Thanksgiving with a 9 and 10 year old. While I will admit that I though they were fun to make, shrinky dink creations DO NOT belong on Etsy.
fuuuuck yeah! say what? i want one!!! but i’m a little conflicted about the wearing racism on my neck part. is that different than just enjoying denny’s art through regretsy? help regretsians!! what’s a girl with a really fucked up sense of humor to do??
oh wow..who would’ve guessed that the “say what”
guy would become so popular. 1st the catnip,
now pendant..i was expecting it though.
dying to see what’s next for the ‘say what” magic man
#7 – ok, i’m a little disturbed by the fact that the artists are only getting 20% off of their own designs and that none of them are named, let alone are their links to their etsy shops. hmmm…
#16: If the artist went out and paid $5 for a pack of shrinky-dink paper and $10 for 10 chains, they could have 10 of these on their own for the price of this one piece. Any of them who bothers to buy one instead of making their own is a sucker.
And in any case, supposing that this seller paid $15 for the equivalent of 10 necklaces. Do you think that pricing them at maybe $9 and making $90 isn’t enough of a profit to be able to split it with Denny?
There’s a chance that tomorrow, I’ll be in the town where the artist of the original painting is located. I almost want to find his shop while we’re there. Then again, I saw furries at the flea market this weekend so maybe I’ve had enough of when the internet and life collide.
I only say “say what” in my head like Stewie from Family Guy.
PS: Helen I absolutely LOVE you and Regretsy. Don’t care for the comment rating though. I’m so nosy I have to see everyone’s comments no matter how little everyone else liked them! On some threads it takes forever to click on “Click here to see” for, like, the whole thread. Like this one.
-The Say What Guy, fuck yes
-Look at the fuckin ball chain
-It’s resin-covered or some shit
-It might be OOAK, fuck if I know
-It’s why you fuckin get up in the morning
You want in on this shit?
Fuck yea you do.”
Thanks, Regretsy! I forgot how much I enjoyed “Check this bacon, motherfucker.”
Regretsians getting this cutesie over a meme that’s still racist: 100% sadface.
Sorry, cats and kittens. Sometimes I try to be cool but then I remember that I’m an English teacher and I don’t have to be. And I say things like “100% sadface” and “cats and kittens.” It’s liberating. My neck, keyring, and tree will be entirely bare of bad crafts, ironically displayed or otherwise, and I’m happier being unhip about that.
I love how Regretsy has turned the ‘Say What?’ artist into a mini-cultural phenomenon. Somebody needs to write a Ph.d dissertation on this shit!
I’m really curious to know who was smart enough to snap up the original ‘Say What?’ painting on November 7th. At this rate, it’s going to sell for 20 times its value by this time next year.
#58: I had no idea you weren’t getting money from the ads! I figured you were renting space to help with the costs of the server, since I imagine it sucks up a lot of bandwidth.
You could always do that and then donate extra money to an Etsy seller to make items for charity again. That was such a good idea.
@ #61, I turned over all of the ads to the hosting company to pay for the bandwidth. it’s actually very generous of them since the ads couldn’t possibly pay for everything we’re using.
I’m starting the Regretsy Alchemy Fund. Any profits I make on T-shirts or merchandise will go into this fund, and I’ll periodically find Etsy sellers to make things for charities.

If that chain was keychain length instead of necklace length, I might be tempted to pick it up. My current little keychain ornament is cracked.
November 30, 2009 at 5:26 pm

I imagine Helen Killers commentary for this in the voice of Olie, the black weatherman in family guy.
November 30, 2009 at 5:29 pm
#5, you could snip the chain shorter and adjust it be relocating the other part (that the ball end goes into)

@ #16, what the artists agree to is their business.
And she did link to Denny in this description. I just trimmed it out of the screen cap to make this easier to read.

@ #19, the profits are shared with Denny, who created the Say What guy. What does he get in your scenario?

November 30, 2009 at 6:11 pm
@ #22 I think that whatever arrangement the artists made and agreed to is their business.
November 30, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Uh oh. Way too self referential. I think this whole thing just jumped the shark.
November 30, 2009 at 6:22 pm
LOL hell yea. our little crazy racist mascot.
I almost really want this but then.. if I wear it somewhere I’d have to explain this crazy shit.
November 30, 2009 at 6:27 pm
I will wear this every fuckin’ day!
November 30, 2009 at 6:29 pm
OOOOHHH I am so making an ass shield!
November 30, 2009 at 6:30 pm
@ #25, Oh please. This whole thing jumped the shark on day 1.
November 30, 2009 at 6:30 pm
SHIT I was gonna make one of these. I knew I shoulda spent less time on a lifelife bleeding squirrel felt toy. Damnit.

#25 Helen Killer — true, true
November 30, 2009 at 6:36 pm
20% seems like a good rate, actually. I’d go for it. Do one painting, someone else does the all work. Not a bad deal at all.
November 30, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Helen – After effin reading this effin post, I must ask, did you effin ghostwrite that Self Effin Help journal???
November 30, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I want a fuckin’ self help shark.
November 30, 2009 at 6:40 pm
NOW THIS TIME I will SERIOUSLY take TWO of.
FUCK YEAH!
November 30, 2009 at 6:41 pm
my comment barely made sense I was so excited.
November 30, 2009 at 6:53 pm
look at these fucking peppers, etc
November 30, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Helen should write all our item descriptions.
November 30, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Ninja – #38, but not for free! HELEN SHOULD SELL HER FUCKING IDEALS FOR $19.99!
November 30, 2009 at 7:09 pm
ZOMG! I joked I should get the catnip toy for my oldest kid because she loves the “say what!” guy. (then I lamed out a pun that her name is Kat).
THIS I should totally get her for Christmas!

Question, am I the only one who says “say what” in their head like that annoying guy from SNL? Or does that cement my dorkiness?

this pendant is made out of awesomesauce. The seller appears to be doing good buisness with it!
December 1, 2009 at 7:04 am
Do you think I can get matching earrings and anklet?

Can’t you see it?
“Check this necklace, motherfucker!
-The Say What Guy, fuck yes
-Look at the fuckin ball chain
-It’s resin-covered or some shit
-It might be OOAK, fuck if I know
-It’s why you fuckin get up in the morning

Not sure how the site is getting too commercial. No one is making any money on any of this stuff but the artists. I don’t even get the ad revenue.

I’ll see your shit and raise you a fucking.
December 29, 2009 at 12:26 am
I got one for Christmas! ! ! And also a “fucking flies” necklace! Can you feel the holiday love?!
February 2, 2010 at 9:10 pm
I got one, I fucking love it. Also, thanks for the huge matching button, it’s pretty much the sweetest. Totally worth it.
