Cafe Press Tri T Shirts Can't Post

There are some cool ones on there.

Not that I'd ever wear one. "hey, look at me, I'm a triathlete." But a good chuckle all the same.

The excessive use of 'tri' as a pun (for 'try') nearly makes my head explode. S/B/R Swim/Bike/Run 2.4/112/26.2 Swim/Bike/Run S/B/R Lather/Rinse/Repeat Swim/Bike/Run 1.2/56/13.1 S/B/R

I actually find most all of them very lame and unimaginative.

Where can I get my 140.6 sticker that matches my tattoo that matches my shirt that matches my 70.3sticker that matches my headsweats hat that says I'm an ironman finisher that I wear to the bar so I can keep my head covered when I smoke a cigarette outside!?!

I'm in the t-shirt biz. If you have an idea for a shirt, you should be able to go to your local screen printer, or often the mall has a store that will put your idea on a shirt for $15-18.

I was just talking with a friend about cafe press yesterday. It's a free market, open system where anybody can put a shirt up for sale. My concern is that they are pretty much universally overpriced, but hey, it's free choice.

You can't beat their selection.

It is true however. The word play on 'tri' has got to stop at some point. It's like the Onion article on convenience stores:

"Convenience stores running out of cute names to call themselves."
