Just floating an idea..."Grap on My Tire" shirt. Would you buy it?

Mach V Dan · 11-08-2005, 10:15 PM

So, I was thinking I'd make up some new shirts for work. Then I started thinking about other shirts I'd like to make. I started throwing out web terms. Somehow I got around to OT stuff.

I just thought it would be funny to have "Grap on my tired" on a shirt. I mentioned it to a couple of people, who sort of looked at me weird.

Maybe it'd have the words on the back, and the

icon on the front.

Thoughts? Does commercializing it ruin the humor by definition? Is it just the underground selling out to the Man? Is it so WTLW that its time has come and gone? (Got a better idea?)

Should I be thinking a shirt with a guy holding TV's in the trunk of a car instead?

For the record, I intend to pay no royalties to anyone for this shirt. Assuming I actually make it. And that anyone actually buys one.

The original quote is "Grap on my Tired"

If you're gonna do it, do it right.

Mach V Dan · 11-08-2005, 10:40 PM

Okay, fine. But back to my questions...

MattDell · 11-08-2005, 10:42 PM

Probably not. I hate having to explain things, and putting something that no one will understand in the real world will make me have to explain it over... and over... and over... and over again.

But that's just me.

Dolphin Overton · 11-08-2005, 10:43 PM

it's one of those things that if you want one you make it yourself. it's more funny that way.

taxcider · 11-08-2005, 10:44 PM

No.

And where's the poal?

Kostamojen · 11-08-2005, 10:44 PM

I'd buy it.

beachbum · 11-08-2005, 10:45 PM

That phrase belongs to OT. Just seems odd to pimp out something that belongs to the community like that. That said, I doubt anyone would buy it, so go for it.
