Quoted from Charliew65:do you think the price has dropped another dollar by now?
I hope not...my long sleeved shirt would be obsolete before I even receive it!!
Quoted from Gornkleschnitzer:That's... amazing. Now I want one.
50$ Canadian shipped to my door. I can share the template if people are interested in ordering themselves.
Quoted from cosmokramer:I believe those images on the T shirts are copyright protected... Proceed with caution...
Quoted from Coindork:LOL, yes please.
I would like to order one.
Damn...it looks like I'll have to ditch the supreme hat.

I'm kind of surprised he didn't cut out letters from magazines to make his "C&D"

Sweet salmonella....wtf? We got thread crossovers happening now, lol
Quoted from cosmokramer:Here is the front of the postcard, can someone put hoffs head on the alien with several legless baywatch games in the backround ...and maybe luitenent Dam swimming around...
Shit just got interesting...

Quoted from cosmokramer:That's the part I find very entertaining… I have not made a single meme or gif...im just the guy who sent him my address...
To be fair...he only said avatars and he didn't answer my question about GIFs, lol.
Untitled.jpgUntitled2.jpgQuoted from fisherdaman:So if we all just PM him with our addresses, he will send us sweet badly written post cards ?? This is the thread that just keeps giving.
I just PM'd him and ask if I could get a postcard as well. Gave him my address
Quoted from cosmokramer:I think you need to change your avatar to the alien head to be eligible for a postcard...
This should do it...

Quoted from wantdataeast:Yes, I know what you were expecting. Everything about the post card from "wantEDdataeast", to it being hand penned and the Uranus stamp was intentional. You see I had no idea if you had actually given me your address or the address of your local McDonalds. I assumed (correctly) that you would find posting the postcard as is irresistible, which of course you did. This was only about confirming your address, which you have done. It is hard to proceed forth in any type of legal manner without a known good address. So basically you made this process a lot easier.
When you commission one of the world’s most renown fantasy artist you need to be prepared to protect your investment; I feel forced to protect the image in this situation for several reasons. You have seemed to have pressed this unnecessarily from the beginning by.. using the image AFTER I had said on the forum it had a copyright on it, not stopping its use when I told you to stop (that was your C&D) and the even the contents of your pinside messages which I view as you taunting me.
I have given permission with compensation of the Survivor image on several occasions. Approved second rights to the use of the image are reasonable but not inexpensive.
This has become a very unfortunate unnecessary situation of your own making.
Can you send me one too? I PM'd you
Oh....and GLWTS!
Quoted from Puffdanny:I got a response to my request for a postcard I have to admit wantdataeast is witty
He never replied to me... I really wanted a post card
Quoted from wantdataeast:I am glad to hear several people like the Survivor image.
I have an offer. I will give a signed and numbered Survivor lithograph to anyone who makes a $35 donation to the Project Pinball folks, shipping would be $5 domestically...so $40 (I would like only to be reimbursed for the shipping costs). The Lithographs are signed by the one and only Larry Elmore. Limited Edition of 1,947. 35" x 23" inches in size.
I have not talked to the Project Pinball people, I am sure someone here knows them and can help arrange this?
A lot folks with spare time to make some incredible gifs... anyone have time to try to make this happen?
If I get a C&D postcard I'll donate! (and will you risk shipping to Canada with our notoriously slow mail service?) Lol
wantdataeast replied to my PM about a possibly getting a postcard!! In classic
wantdataeast style, he leaves me hanging in suspense on whether he's going to send it. LOL
This cat has a pretty good sense of humour too.
PS - you should relist the baywatch add and sell both alien lithographs + a pin. Has anyone done that in a for sale thread before ?
Quoted from TractorDoc:I remember a Pinsider trying to sell some cowboy boots once. . .
But he wasn't also selling a pin in the same thread. This would be a two-fer!
Quoted from wantdataeast:Better proposal…I will challenge Pinside to the following:
A Kickstarter project to place a Project Pinball machine at the Shriners Children's Hospital in Lexington KY.
The Kickstarter would have a goal of $3299.
donation of:
$10 gets a postcard
$15 gets a postcard with Roswell soil attached
$35 gets a Signed & Numbered Lithograph
…etc
Maybe someone can donate some custom translites or something of that nature.
AND IF the $3299 goal it met… at that point I will do stretch goal of putting the now infamous Baywatch machine up at my original asking price of $3299.
And give ALL proceeds to Project Pinball. So basically donating the Baywatch machine (and my entire investment in it), all Lithographs and postcards to the Project Pinball charity.
I can NOT set this up. Someone would need to coordinate with the Project Pinball folks to make it happen. And if the $3299 is not met... no stretch goal Baywatch machine. (Of course any funds raised via any Kickstarter would be Project Pinballs.)
If it can not be set up I will still do the donations of the Lithographs.
Can the post card be written as a C&D and contain threatening legal vernacular?
Quoted from Pinzap:wantdataeast ... still waiting for you to return my PM discussing my original $35 donation to project pinball. Seems about as easy as the few posts you’ve done on here already. Just send me your email address so I can PayPal you the $5 for postage.
I'm not too sure if wantdataeast is being sincere or not. I am skeptical.
ANbD1CCdA3iI8.gifQuoted from InfiniteLives:Now we need a hypnotoad gif with the alien head telling you to buy the imamaculate Baywatch for 3299
Its in the first imamaculate baywatch thread. You're welcome to download it from there and post it here if you'd like.
Quoted from dirtbag66:I feel bad for anyone who is buying those alien shirts. You know how annoying that's going to be when you're out in public and you have to explain what it means to every...single...person who asks? Kinda like when you go to a Halloween party and you have to explain what your costume is.
And if you plan on buying it just to wear it at home, then that's an even greater waste of money.
That made me laugh. Good thing I don't care what strangers think of my "fashion sense."
So it doesn't look like the Project Pinball/litograph/postcard crowdfunding thing is going to happen. To be honest, I'm not really surprised. But I am a little disappointed. I was hoping Mr WantDataEast turned over a new leaf, but it doesn't appear to be the case.
With that said, someone suggested to me an idea to raise a few bucks for Project Pinball and am wondering what you guys think. I accidentally ordered an extra parody baywatch/wantdataeast long sleeve shirt. (Size is XL)
I'm thinking of raffling off the extra shirt. Those who are interested can send Project Pinball a minimum donation of 5$. Once you sent the donation, please confirm with a PayPal receipt so it's verified that you actually donated. (Is this the best way to ensure donations were made?)
I'm thinking of setting the deadline for September 20th and then use a random number generator to choose the winner of the raffle. The shirt cost 75$ Canadian and I will ship to the raffle winner for free (as long as they live in continental US or Canada)
Below is a picture of said shirt (the white outline won't be on the shirt...thats just from the design page)
I have not received the shirts so don't go donating just yet. Once they arrive in the mail I will make the raffle official. I'm just throwing the idea out there first to see if it'll get traction and if there are any suggestions. Thanks!

Quoted from TractorDoc:As promised, I've made my donation to Project Pinball with "Donation inspired by Pinside member WantDataEast " in the comment section. My flip phone does not take screen shots, you'll just have to take me at my word. As nifty as the Survivor prints are I am at a point in life where I need to cut back on the stuff I already have; perhaps I'll send the $5 to Pinside in WDE's name instead. The entertainment value of these threads alone is worth that.
I would not be against a postcard. . . as long as it has an image of Uranus on it.
I also donated & sent wantdataeast the money required for shipping. I put the same comment when I donated as well.
I'm really hoping my post card has threatening legal vernacular on it. We shall see 
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Im feeling lucky I completely missed totebag-gate. But what was it, i mean, i only want to know for scientific reasons?
It was basically a shit show thread where this narcissistic attention seeking troll Munsoned himself and revealed his true colors. But I digress...
Quoted from SirScott:And so it continues...
It's really hard to get put on my list, but you just made it. Congrats. Go trumpet that around.
addtext_com_MTI0MjA1MTM0ODM.jpgRegardless if the imamaculate baywatch sold or not... it appears as though wantdataeast isn't the evil villain we all thought he was.

Quoted from Taxman:Dude, he sold you dirt. He starts with a legless pin and ends up selling posters and dirt.
He's a mastermind that has you brainwashed and soon you will be joining his cult.
This thread is great! I am so happy those packages are arriving.
You only need to worry about me joining a cult if I sell all my belongings, move to Guyana and become the head kool aid mixologist in WantDataEastTown
I'm glad wantdataeast didn't drag his feet on shipping these out to everyone who donated. He really shook a leg to get those parcels shipped.
At the start of all this it didn't seem like he had a leg to stand on with his comments. And just when it looked like he had one foot in the grave in these imamaculate baywatch thread(s), he somehow managed to redeem himself and get a leg up on everyone. You gotta admit, he certainly has put his best foot forward.
Although I'm not a fan of the correct spelling of "imamaculate" on all the postcards...I don't want to kick the legs out from under wantdataeast after his generous act. Turns out he's just like us and puts his pants on one leg at a time.
In terms of selling the imamaculate Baywatch pin; I hope it sells, but I also hope someone doesn't pay an arm and a leg for it either. Break a leg!
PS - And don't go thinking I'm pulling you leg with this post either.
Shirts arrived!
I Will raffle off the extra shirt for a 5$ donation to project pinball. The winner will also receive a 50$ gift certificate to pinballlife.com.
I will create a new thread to raffle off the long sleeve shirt and gift certificate. More details and information will be there...so keep your eyes peeled for an imamaculate raffle in the near future.
5$ donation can net you a 50$ gift certificate and an imamaculate shirt. Not a bad deal and the money goes to charity.
IMG_20180807_1554598.jpgIMG_20180807_1612325.jpgQuoted from cosmokramer:Those shirts seem so dated now...man pop culture moves fast...
Perhaps....but a 50$ gift certificate to Pinballife & money being donated to charity never seems dated to me.
The Raffle is on!!
5$ donation to Project Pinball gets you a chance to win an imamaculate shirt and 50$ gift certificate to PinballLife.com
What's 5$ right? And it's for a good cause!
Don't want the shirt? Re-gift it and keep the gift certificate!!

I need an update on the status and location of the imamaculate baywatch!
Where is it? We're there any offers? Did it sell? Has it grown legs?
So many unanswered questions....
Quoted from Coz:thehuemanatee did you ever get your imamaculate chia pet?
[quoted image]
Quoted from pacmanretro:MAKES A GREAT GIFT!
WA-WA-WA-WANTDATAEAST!!

Quoted from pcprogrammer:I thought he originally spelled it with 3 m's.
Immamaculate
Everyone is spelling it imamaculate, come on guys, lets get this right.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-baywatch-nearly-imamaculate
^^^original thread title has it with two M's
If you're going to spell imamaculate wrong....make sure you spell it wrong correctly!

Quoted from Pinzap:I still haven't framed my alien print (got to get on that soon). And whenever I wear my 600 plays baywatch wantdataeast t-shirt that thehuemanatee made to pinball events I usually get blank stares. I guess pinside isn't as pervasive as those of us on here tend to think it is.
But I still laugh today at all the laughs from those creative gifs made my everyone but mostly thehuemanatee.
IMHO, the best part of the baywatch thread is that it ended in a way that few of us could have predicted.... (spoiler, so read the entire thread if you want to be surprised yourself)... with a very generous pinsider convincing all of us that he wasn't the crazy pinsider he was made out to be by some. Earned some respect from me for sure.
Got mine hung up right after I received it from wantdataeast
Stand up guy he is!

I wonder what ever did become of wantdataeast 's legless baywatch.
