I created the logo and still have the vector file if it is needed by the printer. A royalty of one beeeellion dollars will be sufficient.

Yeah...you don't want to keep copying and/or scaling jpeg files because you use resolution pretty quickly. Going back to the original vector file will always give you full resolution and sharper colors.

How about one with just a smaller version on the crest over the heart in front, and the initials"VMC"or "Member"below it?

Instead of that diaper wearing skinhead tossing out quotes how about

"The will to prepare to win is more important than the will to win" - Joe Gibbs
"Crush enemies, see them driven before and hear the lamentation of their women." - Conan
"win or lose the efforts put forth on the field of battle today sow the seeds of victory tomorrow" Gen. MacArthur
"We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Vince Lombardi
"Team Dickens? How gay!" - Drew Kirchen
"Courage is fear holding on a minute longer." - George Patton
"You gonna finish that pull or leave me hanging?" - Bryan McClain
"When did 5' 8" become short?" - Mike Wills
"Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power. " - Clint Eastwood
"Butterflies!!!" - Jeff Storey
"Daaaaaang" - Kevin Dykes



Oh alright - we can use the Ghandi quote but instead of saying it is from Ghandi let's attribute it to The Rock or Vince Lombardi or somebody with some testosterone.

Bryan

I am in for at least 1 XXL and a children's large for the Ant. 8-)

So you don't think "Ghandi" when you think "Meathead" either? :D

When I think Meathead, I think Bob. How about a quote from Bob Stewart? I always hear him saying "Outstanding!!!" in my head. Other Bobisms/quotes?

How about:

Bryan: Good Job Bob! You said your goal was to beat me in an event before the season was done.
Bob (gravelly voice): Goals change Bryan, Goals change.
Trish: Colin go get your bike and put it away!

Colin: Okay but someone is going to swoop down, stop, take a picture and sell it on the internet.

Nice touch Bryan, I can hear Bob saying that also to other people. If I qualify as an adopted " Meathead " I'll take 2. 1 in 3xl and 1 in xl both with the last name on them. Thanks and let me know who to get the funds to and how much.

Thanks,

Yeah Bob was a much needed kick in the ass to both of us.

BJ I will tak 1 XXL with McClain on it and 1 Small with Angry Ant on it

I have a number of nicknames - some true, some crude, some down right mean.


BJ - it is true Gibbs is not high on the Test scale - then again neither is Goldendoodle but I like Gibbs quote.

What happened to the Fetus anyway. I didn't think a sprained ankle stopped someone from typing.

ANYONE who is buying a shirt...are we cool with the Ghandi quote or is there an alternative? I'm open for anything as long as it is apppropriate for me to wear to school on dress down days...I'm trying to brainwash the 7 year olds into throwing instead of soccer, it can be a tough job...

I think Jeffey must be chatting it up with hot babes on-line or cruisin his local middle school for the 12 pm release of summer school

Cool, we get names? "Henry", I guess... and "Lee" for, well, Lee.

Although I really like the idea of the Meatheads having to choose a kind of meat. T-Bone is obviously taken (unless by Mrs. T-Bone) but think of the possibilities: Pork Chop (For BJ. Or is "Shrimp" a meat? :o ), Brisket (Dickens?), Porterhouse (Kevin?) Mutton (Me? Bryan?), Rump Roast (Bad Ass?) Ribs (Jeremy?), Chuck (Charles), Alpo (Labradoodle-- get it?)-- you get the idea. Others?

Postby forrester on Fri Jul 25, 2008 5:30 pm

I would love to have one if i qualify, actually 2 of them size xl, last name forrester on both please.... suggestions for the quote

“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.”

“Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance”

“Perhaps I am stronger than I think”

“Concentration is the secret of strength”

of course i think the bob stewart quotes are a good idea too.... just throwing things out there

You guys are leaving out the Bob quote that is in the Latin on the logo, and I think represents the group better than anything:

Just one more throw.

What qualifies one as a Vienna Meat Head? A desire for one of these shirts!!!!!

If I qualify, I'll take two 2XL's "Gunny" on back. I like the second design with the small logo on front.

As long as Bob is on there somewhere, I'm good with everything else and will even retract my "meats" idea. :lol:

P.S. If I'm first to 300 posts will I be banned again? That would suck. :x

you people hurt my feelings, and was I crying in the bathtub....

But I'll take one, XXL w/ "Uncle" on it. And one XL with "Jeff", and possibly another XL with an appropriate nickname? Cletus maybe? will Cletus the Fetus fit on there?

One of my favorite quotes (and there are soooo many), came on our way out the door to practice at the park..."The difference between good and GREAT is practice...and a really good looking shagger". Then there was the day I came home to find him pushing the mower up the hill with 2 cinderblocks and a big rock tied to it. When I asked him what the @*#&% he was doing he said "mowing with my new BFR 2000. It's a great workout" That was Bob..."doin' it better with his BFR 2000". (I don't need to tell you what BFR stood for do I?) I know...but he had me when he showed up uninvited at my house after being turned down for a date 3 times. I really, really want 3 shirts. 1 XL for now and 1 L for a couple months from now. They can both proudly say Mrs. T-Bone. Then I would like 1 XXL that has T-Bone on it so I can add it to the quilt. And whatever you guys decide to put on them is good by me. Let me know who get's the $ and how many of 'em?

You know he's laughing about all of this ;)

I'm so behind the frickin times....

Anyways, Whatever you come up with is great by me. I like the idea of "just one more throw" it sums VMC up immensely.

Milk is a meat , right?

I'll have two shirts one xxl and one xl for those light days (yes, I'm serious). And I would like the xl to have Largemilk on it and the xxl to have Odubhghaill on it. CanI, can I, can I?
