If I were making a properly silly T-shirt, then I want one that says "Plays Well with Others" on the front side... but also makes sure to proclaim "Runs with Scissors" on the back. :-) Think that would sell? > > Shouldn't "Runs with Scissors" be on the *front* of the T-shirt? That way, people could see you coming and get out of the way in time. :-)
Well, these 'slogans' (if you can call them that) are supposed to be the kind of things you learn from an early age. Fulghum got it right. Mommy really did tell me to play nicely with others, and that people who "run with scissors" only hurt themselves (ostensibly by falling down the stairs and somehow 'accidentally' committing hara-kiri, you know. Parental reasoning can be hilarious.) So, by wearing both messages on the same Tee, you'd be showing that you're secretly a loving, gentle Rebel Rinky Fanatic at heart. A real wolf in sheep's clothing-- oops.
;-)
> Or you could also market T-shirts with big stab marks through them and the slogan "Plays Well with Wolfspirit".
Hmpf. When's the last time I chowed down on a fellow Rinkian and they still lived to tell the tale?
I guess there's a niche for every taste B-G. If I wanted to go for the grungy wildchild look, and start putting big holes in new clothes, then I'd market T-shirts with fang marks, claw slashes, and black bear footprints all over and the slogan "Can Play Dead Convincingly".
