I can't remember the last time I saw a t-shirt with an actual photorealistic image on it that looked good. I think simple is probably better, but thats just a matter of opinion :).<br /><br />I think leaving Verizon out is probably best. A few of the submissions that I have received have had the blog address on the bottom, which could also be removed if necessary - you might want to do the same - if at all.George Vaccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304125791379242960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516155314784643420.post-45527770769061899892006-12-16T00:52:00.000-08:002006-12-16T00:52:00.000-08:00I have been following this since the beginning, an...I have been following this since the beginning, and I have to say its quite hilarious.
