Misha: I can't read the text
Rhyanne: can we have a hot pink t shirt with a picture of paris hilton on the front saying " omg wm quizbowl is like hott sex"
yeah i like that idea
Misha: Ok, so now I used the magnifier on my computer and read it. BOO I don't like the text. It should be something funny anyone who saw it outside WM would get. And it should be green or gold so it can double as WM colors. Too many teams have basic tshirts with that same WM emblem on it. But I do like the feathers.
Rhyanne, I don't know what to say. Pink? Paris Hilton? Good god! Oh,
and Minneapolis will probably be warm by mid April. [Note: he's from the Twin Cities]
Misha: Here's one idea of mine, it definately could use a better phrase on it, but the colors work well, I think.
[Note: it reads "Yeah, we've got feathers!"]
Mohammad: How about we set up a contest?
Ben: Still think we should go the sweatband route. Also, Misha, could that sentence be any lamer? At least you know it though. If I were to pick a line/quizbowl joke it'd be, "Betta Recognize" playing off the fact that you're supposed to be recognized to speak. Also Matt, if we do yours, it'd have to be "Ghost ride da whip (Accept Word Forms)".
Ben
Misha: Oh come on Benjamin, it could be much worse. But you are right, it is fairly lame. I don't think ghost riding would make too much sense,
perhaps something like "Masters of the Neg" or.... well, that's all I
can think up this moment. But I still don't get "Ghost Riding the
Whip," what, is it a movie reference? 'Cause that would be lame. I
still argue for a yellow or dark green shirt, but I think sweatbands
would be cool as well. I know they sell them at the Campus shop for
about $8/piece, but they're kinda a dark blue color. If that site makes
them, we could go that route.
So I do not object to sweatbands, but I do think that if we went that
route or with Tshirts we should get them in school colors.
Other Ben who's less involved w/ the club: can you guys take me off the mail list?
Rhyanne: no the tshirts have to be hott pink.
the end.
Sean and I officially voted ourselves t shirt committee in the beginning of the year so yeah. We get to decide. Yeah. Motherfucker.
[the usual] Ben: First of all, my name isn't Benjamin. Its Ben-Alexander bitch (I know you are going to use this as evidence that I'm canadian somehow). Second of all, come on Misha, you're an intelligent man. I had never heard Ghost Ride the Whip before matt started saying it constantly either but if you read the quiz bowl question for it that he sent you can figure out that it means to hop out of your car while its still rolling and dance on the hood. Because no one is driving you are "ghost riding" your whip (i.e. car).
-the end (so far...)-
I can't wait to see the reactions in practice today.
