A T-shirt idea for y'all

**jrandom** · 6th August 2004, 11:26

The inspiration pixie just visited.

*I*, for one, would be very pleased to own a T-shirt with a motorcycle graphic captioned by the immortal words "RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT".

Now, I understand that this is likely to offend a certain segment of the population, and possibly even some members of this fine forum. To those people, I say, "phhhtbbbbbtttttbtbtbtbtbtbtbtbtbt".

I suppose there's the possibility that SpankMe would sanction the use of the site logo, but perhaps it would be better to maintain the purity of that particular graphic for use in actual KB T-shirts.

I'm thinking something in a similar style, though, would be good. Probably involving a wheelie.

If there's enough interest, I'll do the busywork of organising a screenprint run.

Comments?

I prefer a shirt with

' Will Wheelie for Boobs ' - like attached - or how about some of the others from

I would want a more personalised T-shirt. One that has the Kiwibiker logo etc but also has my user name across the back. I wouldn't mind forking out a bit more for that...

Yeah that probably isnt a bad idea there MR. Depending on the cost I would grab one of those aswell. I want to get a KB t-shirt of some kind.

Sound idea 'Random, however, I think "No Fear"would have something to say about it since they used this expression about 6 years ago.

Don't know if you can copy write a phrase though..

Did they? Bugger. I *thought* it was a good one.

Friggin' stupid, that. Especially since they didn't dream it up in the first place.

What about 'Ride it Like you Hate it'

Things that are very difficult to copyright:

Works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression. For example: choreographic works that have not been notated or recorded, or improvisational speeches or performances that have not been written or recorded.

Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a description, explanation, or illustration, titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients or contents.

Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a description, explanation, or illustration.

Works consisting entirely of information that is common property and containing no original authorship.

However, like all things based in civil law, it is up to the party with the most money to try and get what they can out of court.

I guess there is a possibility that you could use a common phrase, if you could provide evidence that the phrase has been in common usage.

However I think if you tried to use "Just Do It", "The Real Thing", "Think Different" or how evere many small phrases you can think of you may find yourself in a whole pile of legal trouble.

Having said all that, I do like "Ride it like you hate it"

**wkid_one** · 6th August 2004, 13:28

How about 'Ride it like she's underage', or 'Ride it like her husband's coming home', or 'Ride it like you can give it back', or 'I Ride it like yo' Mamma'

Definitely like the first one w1. Personally, a little old lady getting offended by my t-shirt is just an added bonus to wearing it.
