Know Question Is To Dum
Well you asked for it. All day long in fact. In between berating me for posting that fucking cat fanny pack.
Well, here they are. Know Question is To Dum T-shirts, just for you. Click on the image to go to the Cafe Press store.
And if that’s not enough (and it never is with you people), these shirts have a special purpose.
The Regretsy Alchemy Fund
As you know, we auctioned off a domain a while back, and we used the money to hire an Etsy seller to make toys for Toys for Tots. It went so well, that I decided to make it a regular thing.
This time, the profits will benefit The Hatbox Foundation. When we sell 40 T-shirts (a $200 profit), we’ll find a seller through Alchemy and hire them to make knit caps for cancer and chemo patients.
So there you go. A fabulous shirt for you, a sale for a seller, and handmade hats for people who could use a little love.
Now shut the fuck up about the cat fanny pack.
UPDATE: NOW AVAILABLE ON ZAZZLE TOO BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF IDEALS

whimsicle fuckery for a good cause. Very cool. I have a whole shit ton of unused yarn that I’m more than happy to donate to the seller who makes the hats.
December 1, 2009 at 7:56 pm
What’s wrong with Cafe Press?
December 1, 2009 at 7:56 pm
this is such a good cause, your a cuddley wuddley bunny wunny really!
December 1, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Do Zazzle or printfection. Cafe Press quality is crap and they rape your commissions.
December 1, 2009 at 7:59 pm
I got mine… I am going to be styling at my company Christmas party… And at the “Party til the Cowls Come Home” Regretsy book tour signing…
December 1, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Wow, no one shit in the punch bowl until the 2nd comment.
December 1, 2009 at 8:08 pm
So what if the quality is bad- they’re 20 bucks- they’re not going to be family heirlooms. Had I the money right now I’d buy one to sleep in. Besides the profit left over is going to a wonderful cause, and it’s Helen’s business whether or not she wants to pay a high percentage to Cafe Press.
December 1, 2009 at 8:11 pm
How about we cut the lady a fuckin break… We already reamed her pretty good about the cat fanny pack faux fuckery and now we’re going to ream her about doing something that actually benefits someone besides ourselves? WTF?
December 1, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I can knit caps, but I refuse to do it with my vagina!
December 1, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Nice…my Christmas shopping is now complete!!
December 1, 2009 at 8:14 pm
#7 reminds me- Will you go on a book signing tour after the books release Helen?
December 1, 2009 at 8:15 pm
I can knit cervical caps.
December 1, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Everyone’s a critic…
December 1, 2009 at 8:24 pm
@ #13, if they ask me to! I’ll be at ROFL Con in April, and I think the book is supposed to come out right around then.
December 1, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Awesome! I didn’t realize there was a charity for hats. I’m all up ons – I have so much stash yarn I can just knit into hats and send.
December 1, 2009 at 8:36 pm
*sniff*
When my mother went through chemo, there was a large basket of hats from this foundation for all the patients to sift through and select from. It was a thoughtful gesture at a trying time.
Thanks for picking such a great foundation to support, Helen.

#11 somethinghomemade – That’s OK. vangoghbabe can crochet quietly with her hoo-hoo. I think one sexual craft-gallery parlor trick is quite enough. vangoghbabe might feel pressered and overdo it if she has competition. I’d hate for her to wind up in the hospital with a vagina sprain during the holidays.
December 1, 2009 at 8:41 pm
You know, if you don’t like Cafe Press then don’t buy a damn shirt. I’m not overly enamored of them either but I want a shirt and I like that the proceeds go to charity. Now all I need is a whimsicle fuckery shirt.
December 1, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Okay, we added a link to Zazzle. So I expect Dynomoose to send us a screencap of her order.
December 1, 2009 at 8:55 pm
I think that screen capture is really on it’s way..I can feel it.
December 1, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Cafe Press may rape commissions but Zazzle looks like they rape the consumer. $3 more for a color other than white?
December 1, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Helen’s the one who’s commissions get raped. Cafe Press changed their marketplace commission structure to 10% for the shopkeepers. So, if you buy something from her shop, through their marketplace, she gets a lousy $2.
December 1, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I don’t know how to do screen capture, but I did just order a shirt.
December 1, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Helen
Thank you for helping out cancer patients. To be so ill and going through treatments you always feel like crap, but losing your hair is the pits.
Such a small thing as a hat that is handmade can helps in immeasurable ways.
December 1, 2009 at 9:19 pm
I had cancer a couple of years ago, but I didn’t lose my hair. I think that would just be the turd on the sundae.
December 1, 2009 at 9:22 pm
#24 Dynomoose : #23 DucksNew : Let’s face it… Unless you’re growing and weaving the fucking cotton for the shirts yourself, and making your own screen inks from ground herbs and berries, and masking your screen art with recycled shopping bags, and hand delivering the damn things yourself, it does not fucking matter… They are all the same! Buy a damn shirt!!! It’s for a good cause!!! Wheeze… wheeze… end of rant…
December 1, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Awesome Helen!!!
but now I’m imagining vaginas crocheting vagina cozies, damn you people
December 1, 2009 at 9:25 pm
I bought a damn shirt
December 1, 2009 at 9:26 pm
#30 DucksNew : Now write that fucker off for charity…
December 1, 2009 at 9:29 pm
So wait, can we get this on a handknit cervical cap too? Don’t throw a tease like that out here unless you can deliver the goods, people.
(Also: super freakin cool. I betta get one.)
December 1, 2009 at 10:01 pm
I think I’m gonna wait for the “wear this shirt every fuckin’ day” shirt. I appreciate the cause as well. I lost my bro a few years ago to brain cancer. I think it’s something that affects every family at one point or another. I’m really glad you’re doing okay, Helen.
December 1, 2009 at 10:01 pm
#28 I bought one, dammit!
#Helen Killer check your email.
December 1, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Martini comment 31……. LMAO…..OMG……I REALLY AM- that is the best comment I have read all day
December 1, 2009 at 11:19 pm
OHHHHHH….. Thanks martini I needed that. Since we can be seriass for a moment. I had Cancer at 16 and by the Love of God was able to have my son. When they had to take measures shortly after I was devastated and was kicked when I was down- hard. That NEVER word- no more babies. I have a Daughter today who is Biologically mine- she grew in a dish for 6 days.She was carried and born all due to the love of a dear heart surrogate mother. She was my knitted hat.
December 1, 2009 at 11:35 pm
May I just say, that as a frequent Regretsy admirer/visitor, I LOVE YOU HELEN KILLER!
This site has become better and better. You turn idiocy & ignorance into humor & dollars for charity. As an art student, I’ve sat through FAR too many close-lipped critiques as the class stared, dumbfounded, at a piece of handmade “art” that should have stayed in it’s original form: cardboard, tempera, and scotch tape. And I tutored people who couldn’t use grammar/spelling. So, rock on, my dear.
December 1, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Helen, I hope you’ll keep us updated on how many shirts sell!
December 1, 2009 at 11:52 pm
I knead too by won.
December 1, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Something told me I had to have a “Say What” pendant..
so I bought it last night, damn it
I’ll prob. buy this t-shirt too,it’s good cause.
December 2, 2009 at 12:56 am
Q: There needs to be Regretsy stickers too. Like bumperstickers, to peel and stick onto things and spread the joy of whimsicle fuckery around our respective towns.
December 2, 2009 at 1:03 am
To #39-aprceliac
Eye wood if eye were ewe!!!!
December 2, 2009 at 4:29 am
Thanks for the link to The Hatbox Foundation. I have lots of free time and will be happy to make some hats for the cause. I’ve recently completed almost a dozen hats for my website, so making some for cancer patients is a snap.
December 2, 2009 at 5:45 am
Helen – Just sent you an email to the regretsy@gmail account.
December 2, 2009 at 5:53 am
I bought one! I think we need a Flickr group or something, that way we can share photos of us all wearing our “Say What” pendants and T-Shirts… In a room, or maybe on a boat?
Thanks for all you do Helen, my Gram had breast cancer a few years back and in the winter those scarves just don’t cut it for headwear. I also have a crapload of yarn to donate to whoever wins the Alchemy bid if they need it.
December 2, 2009 at 7:15 am
Heh, lookit– someone is calling Helen out in her listings.

December 2, 2009 at 7:17 am
Bless you, Helen (I mean, besides the blessing/curse of all of us stalkerazzi admirers).
You’ve opened the floodgates, though, I hope you realize. Now we’re going to be like little kids; knowing that if we whine long and loudly enough, you’ll indulge us! Gee, I hope the promise of the knitted cervical caps wasn’t a tease. Mine gets so cold these many Winter months

hmm seeing I have some money now after all the recent massive traffic to my store… I will probably have to buy one of these.
I will REALLY enjoy wearing it to college campus the last day of class. I wonder if they will notice the spelling issues?
December 2, 2009 at 7:57 am
martini (#10, #28, #31 etc) I love you!!!
You just made my morning.
Thanks for doing this Helen. Cancer has reared its ugly head in my family too:
Whimsicle Fuckery + Giving Back = Perfection
December 2, 2009 at 8:24 am
#45 BOL AWWWW the seller how made the bad misspelled sara palin ornament get her panties in a wad… well so much for that person having any sense of humor. but sometimes its even funnier when they get all mad.
December 2, 2009 at 8:25 am
#39 made me laugh…
I think my Christmas shopping is officially DONE thanks to these shirts.
December 2, 2009 at 9:04 am
Helen Killer FTW regarding the tee and #8.
December 2, 2009 at 10:18 am
Good God, the “Knowall’s” here sure are fucking funny! Except when it comes to the damn pussy fannypack. Give it a rest, people.
Helen, thanks a million for doing this shirt because not only does it amuse the hell out of us knowalls, but the cause you have chosen is absolutely wonderful. I’ve been there too, and *did* lose my hair. I also lost my Mom to cancer (which was much worse). I’m buying at least one shirt, debating whether to get my DH one as well.
December 2, 2009 at 11:15 am
I have an honest question. Do the knowalls misspell ‘whimsical’ deliberately?
December 2, 2009 at 12:08 pm
#55, depends on which “knowall’s” of which you speak. If you mean us at Regretsy, then yes, we know the way it’s spelled in the dictionary.
Fact check for seller of #46 ornament: it’s called basic spelling and grammar, look into it. Signed, one of the “Knowall’s”
December 2, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Ha! ‘Knowalls’
Dangerous are the engraved rantings of the spelling and grammar inept. She obviously understands the power she welds in putting our reputiations at steak.
December 2, 2009 at 1:15 pm
#56 so what is the significance of “whimsicle?”
December 2, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Dynomoose – believe it’s a common (common, common, common) etsy misspelling. Think of it as the regretsy version of hanging a lampshade on it.
December 2, 2009 at 5:43 pm
#59 rocza, Thanks!
December 2, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Bless you Helen, for your kind deeds and for making me LOL at (yes!) work M-F. (And I’m happy to hear you didn’t loose your hair.)
December 2, 2009 at 11:26 pm
good call rocza. let me just add that it is also reminiscent of a quiescently frozen confection, do you know what i mean, i hope you do! whim on a stick, yummm
December 3, 2009 at 12:09 am
know fanny pack is to lesbian
December 5, 2009 at 8:10 am
