IHT-25oz-MkII - Break the Needle Tee - Second Coming

[Giles]

Let's see how this one goes…..

Now I have to buy some 25oz so I can legitimately wear one of these

"Are you tough enough?"

This was the title for for a newspaper ad selling 110lb (50kg) weight set.  My brother, 12 yrs old at the time, calls the number…

Brother: "I'm tough enough"
Seller: "What?"
Brother: "Yeah, I'm tough enough"
Seller: "&#$%(^@#)Q)$)(@**#$))*@%$"
Brother: hangs up phone

Phone rings 10 seconds later...my 9 yr old brother answers
Seller: "#$@%^**^$#%&^^%$#%#%#@$"
9yr old to his older brother: "It's for you"
Seller: "$#@%^%@%$%$%@&@^$^%%&@%^%&^%$#@^%^%#^$@$#^^$#^$#@^#^$"
12 yr old brother: hangs up phone

We still bring "are you tough enough?" up some 25 yrs later...shirt is a must buy for me.

I think if somebody started dog cussing my nine-year-old brother like that I would've wanted to show them exactly how tough I was!

[mclaincausey]

Ha ha that story just reminded me of something that happened when I was a kid. One of my best friends and I used to always make really bad crank calls all the time because we had conference call, which was a novel feature at the time. So my buddy would call me, and then I would call some poor unfortunate bastard, and we would rip into them.

So we were repeatedly calling this tattoo parlor, and asking about getting weird tattoos in weirder places, and finally we called back and the guy answers the phone "Joe's Whorehouse; you rape em we scrape em."

Being the mature young men that we were, we laughed at that probably for an hour straight.

I'm with Seul on this one, its not my style of print.

[Ponyboy312]

Design is tuff. Would be nice on back. Wish it didnt ask question. Want 25oz t though. Will wait to see how final t looks.

[Giles]

As I say, if you ask 100 people for input and you get 101 differing ideas…

[joesaintjohn]

Hahaha, I feel the same way about the question, I think it would look better without it, but I'm still going to get it either way.

[Giles]

(and me) - but Paula insists that if it is a question it needs a question mark….....

[Madame Buttonfly]

I'm fussy about punctuation, it's a question so it should have a question mark.  I wanted the question mark immediately after "enough" not floating on its own, but apparently that looked crap.  If the consensus is that no question mark is better for the design then I can live with that (or we can change the wording to "YOU ARE TOUGH ENOUGH" and then the problem is also solved!)

[Giles]

VO was reading the thread.  What do you think?
(I prefer it…........)

[JCMx800]

I like both "designs", pity that I have no 25ozers.

[Giles]

The requirement to own a pair of 25's will be relaxed with this release…..

[FurattoHeddo]

I'd go with YOU ARE THOUGH ENOUGH as Paula suggested…

[tmg]

Signed up

Would prefer the print on the back if that's up for discussion….

[JCar2666]

^I second this.  In my opinion this design is too in your face to be on the front.  That and I just never liked big print on the front of my T's

[Giles]

Please vote then.  I have added a poll to the top of this thread…...
