Finally, Hardy Har Hut Gets Some T-Shirts



We love the musical "Hairspray" around here, and I finally got around to putting together a Hardy Har Hut graphic for a CafePress t-shirt.

In Hairspray, the Hardy Har Hut is the joke shop operated by Tracy Turnblad's easy-going, somewhat goofy dad Wilbur. In the 2007 movie version the role is played by Christopher Walken. In the outtake above poor Wilbur is in the store and is at the mercy of beautiful Velma Von Tussle's plans for seduction. All helpless Wilbur can do to fend off the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer character's advances is toss Hardy Har Hut gag gifts at her.

For the shirt graphic we recreated some of the visual's of the 2007 movie, including the main Hardy Har Hut store sign and the happy faces graphics from the high front windows of the store. And down below is the "Fun, Jokes & Magic" sign from the lower window.
I hope fans of Hairspray and all you Beehive Harlots will enjoy the Hardy Har Hut t-shirt! You'll also find coffee cups and mouse pads and aprons and other CafePress stuff with the graphic.

Working on Some New Sites

A couple of new websites just launched. Nothing big, just expansions of the Savant7 cluster.

First is the Boil Water Advisory site. Continuously updated reports of boil water advisories issued by municipal water suppliers. It will be interesting to see if individual articles can outrank local media sites and their similar reports.

Also underway is the Welder Jobs in Texas website. If this draws a following then we just may bust out the concept to other areas or other job titles or both.
