[Dragaera] Giddy T-shirt par-ergon

[Elizabeth Dalton]

"Cruciform?" I guess... it seems such a "fancy" word when you're trying 
to emphasize the plainness of the garment. I was just going to leave out 
"short-sleeved" on the long-sleeved version, or possibly not do a 
long-sleeved version. I mean, if you're going to worry about that, do I 
make sure not to print on sweatshirts? What about the more heavyweight 
of the short-sleeved t-shirts?

BTW, I was asked how I plan to attribute this "monstrosity" in the shop, 
and what I'm thinking of doing is saying something like this:

"Paarfi Souvenir Shirt"
<final text>
"Suggested by Davdi Silverrock in collaboration with the Dragaera e-mail 
list"
...with links to wherever Sir Silverrock likes and the Dragaera e-mail 
list page, respectively. Sound ok?

For what it's worth, I like the "A Certain Gentleman of the House of the 
Hawk" at the bottom, as in the earlier versions. I know "two words" is 
very Paarfi, but I don't like the preface version as well. I'll go with 
whatever the group prefers, however.
