Arabacus Pulp shirts	Permalink

Hey guys I dunno if any of you have seen these but I thought some people on here might like it: http://www.redbubble.com/people/artistformerly/works/6247400-pulp-design-1 the store has a bunch of shirts with former artist names on it, but there's a few colours available of the DC-era pulp logo with "Arabacus" and there are also a few with the TIH-era logo. I bought the plain black and white DC-era one. They're a little pricy but a cute idea. -- Edited by triciathetree on Tuesday 17th of January 2012 08:50:58 PM __________________ The trees, those useless trees, produce the air that I am breathing

Feel like a bit of a nit-picking pedant here, but their early name was "Arabicus" - not "Arabacus" __________________

not that this is a great source but wikipedia has this to say: Cocker and Dalton used this, with a slight spelling change, and the band became "Arabacus" __________________ The trees, those useless trees, produce the air that I am breathing

I always assumed that what was listed in the legendary copy of the FT lying around the economics lesson was coffee, specifically, arabica, but as it says below, with a spelling change, hence arabacus. Anyway, if you look here: http://www.fourthway.co.uk/posters/index.html there is a nice poster telling you how to pulp your arabica beans, surely just what we all need to know. http://www.fourthway.co.uk/posters/pages/coffeepulparabica.html Lots of other fascinating articles on innovative uses for your arabica pulp out there. __________________ We'll use the one thing we've got more of, that's our minds.

The contemporaneous copy of the Financial Times I dug up a few years back reveals another variation on the spelling... __________________ "Yes I saw her in the chip shop / so I said get yer top off"

So the 'we changed it' story does hold true? They changed it from Arabicas to Arabicus. Rather than from Arabicas to Arabacus? That seems to satisfy the sticker and the FT copy. I note that wikipedia has been changed to show this! Well done to Bienfuxia! Oddly, the reference to 'Sturdy' remains the same even though the words have changed :) __________________ swaying slightly, drunk on the sun, I suppose

Someone on here, presumably? I note they've written a fair bit on the Russell page too... __________________ swaying slightly, drunk on the sun, I suppose
