Send your design over to evilhat AT gmail DOT com, BigMama, and I'll take a look.  I've got a few possible directions to go with this as well.

(One thought: McAnally's -- Where Everybody Knows Your True Name)

at the beginning of this thread, Priscille suggested "McAnally's Tavern:  Where Everyone Knows Your Name (But Conjure By It At Their Own Risk)."

(Although I think it is is a Pub, rather than a Tavern...)

I very much like that shirt idea.

Yup!  It's a bit wordy for a t-shirt, but it makes me giggle incessantly whenever I think about it. :D

OK, maybe that was digging deeper rather than a topper.

Uh, it's funny until you consider that 25-30 thousand people were killed in two days?

It would also probably require constant explaining to people who read the shirt.

And thank you for correcting my bad spelling of your UserID.  :-)

2x or 3x.

I lost weight and gained a shirt size. Silly shoulders.

My shirt says, "McAnallys Pub" in really neat letters, below that is a stein with foam, and under that it says, "Where a Wizard Comes to Rest a Spell". It is on a black shirt in silver letters with the foam on the stein having a bit of bronze in it. It looks really awesome. :)

2x is about the same as a 22/24 and 3x is about the same as a 26/28.  At least, that's how it was when I was wearing those sizes :)

Slightly OT, but today at work, I got a great little idea (purely for fun, not profit) -- unpacking t-shirts for the shop I work at, I ran across one that has Tinkerbelle, looking slightly peeved, on the front, and just says "I didn't do it" on the back of one shoulder.  It totally screams for "I don't believe in faeries!!" to be added to it! ;D

Chortled the rest of the afternoon just thinking about it.... ;)

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I was slightly offended by the Easter shirt. Offended isn't always bad, though.

Anyway, I thought a good shirt design would be to have a wind up duck on the front and on the back have a saying about the duck being able to find things or whatever.

Edit: I'd also like to have a shirt (despite getting annoyed by its constant use in book 2 and 3) that says "Hell's Bells" on it.

I wasn't offended, hey it took them 2000 years to find it, and after that time gap it might have been the original owner of the tomb's body anyway. Presumably he did eventually use it for it's original purpose? ;)
