T-Shirt Contest Winner

Posted by admin under YOUR

Thanks again for your prolific, often hilarious entries in the How To Know When You Have An Analog Brain t-shirt contest. Here are some of the contenders:

Hard Drive: A road trip with Dad
Flash Drive: Operating a vehicle while naked
Skype: Something Uncle Larry caught and brought home for dinner
MegaHertz: What Wally threatened to do to The Beaver
Memory Stick: What the old man spanked us with
Live Streaming: Fly fishing
Search Engine: Looking for the dipstick
iTunes: What I does when my guitar sounds a little off
Amazon.com: Website run by strong women
Scroll Bar: Tavern near the Dead Sea
Modem: What I did to de lawns
URL: the guy the Dixie Chicks say, “’s gotta die”
Gigabyte: the food backstage at a concert
Picasa: A Mexican bathroom
Motherboard: Daddy ain’t keeping her entertained

Honorable mention, but not technically eligible for the contest: a new site being jointly produced by YouTube, Twitter and FaceBook: YouTwitFace.

And the winner, based solely on the fact that it made me chuckle and appeals to my own personal sense of fun, submitted by Janet Ackerman Beck, who wins a free t-shirt:

Disc Space: Room enough to play frisbee!

T-SHIRT NOTE:

Thanks for your votes and suggestions on color and style. The white-on-black was the runaway vote getter (two to one) over black-on-white or any other color. I also received dozens of suggestions and preferences from you ladies about other options: cap sleeves, long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, v-neck, scoop neck, baby doll, all kinds of colors, imprint on the back “so people are not looking at my breasts,” imprint on the front “so people ARE looking at my breasts,” etc.

Whew. This was wildly amusing, but head-spinningly complicated. I got reminded how much easier it is to be a man in the fashion department. And since I have no interest in going into the t-shirt business long-term, decided to honor the voting, emulating Henry Ford and the Model T: you can have any color you want, as long as it’s black!

You can view the t-shirts on the same page as the new CD.
