Do they ignore parts of reality?

What do you think?

Is it bad sportsmanship or good ole fashioned fun?


--------------------
A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

This is a tad more difficult than I thought. One screen printer told me it was copyright infringement - bullshit. I researched it. Vick isn't copyrighted. There's no mention of Reveille on the shirt. Tech doesn't have red and black tshirts trademarked. Absolutely nothing wrong with the shirt in a legal sense. Another one told me he couldn't have em until next week. That won't help me buddy.

Other problem is I don't have $750 ($1000 if I ordered 100) laying around. I can't get a check from my uhh college football friend until next week. My mom thinks it's immoral as hell and refuses to help. Sorry, I don't give a shit if I offend Aggies or PETA. I'm pretty sure if I offered my buddy who owns a bar a $1250 ROI guaranteed on a $750 loan ($1500 on a $1k loan) in three days he'll say yes.

If I can pull this off I'll offer any Techsans members a shirt for my cost + shipping, unless you live in Austin or San Marcos.

Figure if I order a hundred, 20 XL, 40 L, and 40 M? I'm not ordering girl shirts because I don't particularly like doing business with college girls. I'm quite confident I can sell at least 80 of em, giving me $4k - $1500 for a $2500 profit. I don't consider gas expenses driving down there as a business expense cause I was planning on going down there anyways.

And for any of you who think I'm an asshole for doing this, I'll shed a tear when I'm sitting on the beach in Cabo this December sipping martinis. This would easily finance my trip
