Wednesday Winners - T-shirts Gone Wild! OR ... "Whatcha' Wearin' Wednesday"

Hey Everybody!

It's Wednesday, and we'd normally have a Wednesday Winner Turtles blog friend featured,


but everyone's busy running races lately, so today's post has a different flavor to it.....


Do you ever see t-shirts that make you laugh out loud? 

I love graphic tees

The funnier, edgier, more memorable,
or thought-provoking, the better.  

In fact, I get t-shirts customized regularly,
choosing to let my tees doing the talking.

So while searching for images to share,
I ran across this picture:


and thought,
"Who's Mark? Why a Tiffany necklace?
and.... How sweet of him!"

which led to wanting to find the answers.
Enter: this great list post (quick, easy read)
that's worth a look...

Then, while continuing my search for more tee mug shots,
I ran across this one:


which the blogger said led to a little controversy....

hee hee.. Can you imagine?!

Her post, though older, was fun to read, too ~
taking a look at great t-shirts
OR
sayings that would make a great t-shirt.


Then there are those of us who blog and run......


Or maybe we just want to share the wisdom shared with
us that keeps us moving??


Finally, what's a race without a cheering section?


So...

What are you wearing when you head out the door? 


Happy running, friends......

Is there a place on line that you get your shirts customized? I want to do some for the half I am running with my sister this Nov in St. Petes.

Mel -Tall Mom on the Run said...

Hmmmmm.. Maybe

"BQ or Bust"

LOL I REALLY want to make a T-shirt, now I just have to decide what I want on it.. Comfort is tops in my book..

Morgan said...

I love customizing tee's too! So fun! Thanks for introducing me to a few places around town! Also, I love, love, love your run, blog, repeat shirt!

Kelly said...

I have an award for you on my blog just as soon as I get it posted. :)

Lisa said...

I would love to wear one of those t-shirts but I feel like people would laugh at me and my slowness. Maybe when I get faster I might consider it.

Got your email...thanks. I'll answer soon :)

Now I have to find something more fun to wear. I kind of like that Marathon Virgin shirt. But you can only wear it once :(

The NIKE race is on my list of must-do's!!!

Shelley said...

Those shirts are great! I have my new One More Mile shirt all ready for my race on Saturday - it says "If it weren't for me you'd have no body to pass!" and I love it!

ajh said...

I have none anywhere near as fun as these!!!

Meg said...

How fun! My favorite shirt says, "Run Happy."

MJ said...

lol! I love those!! I've been secretly hinting to my DH that he needs to meet me at the finish line of my first 1/2 with a piece of jewelry...Tiffanys would be nice!

Megan said...

At the half I ran on Sunday a guy had a shirt that said "I just like a long morning run" and I thought "exactly"

and Yea! next week it's all about me! We'll Sunday (my bday) and Wednesday at least.

Cindy, Yes - BigFrog.com - it's a franchise and the one in my neighborhood is OUTSTANDING. I use them exclusively now. If you can't find anyone, let me know. I'll get them done for you here. Are you guys doing the Women's Half? A group of us will be there, too. We'll have to plan to meet up. :) Had a GREAT time at our bloggy friend meet-up before the Disney Princess Half recently. Stay in touch via e-mail if you like: TRTL.RNR@gmail.com

Mel, I love the BQ or Bust idea. Can get tech shirts printed, too, which is what I get for race days.

Morgan, have you used the newest one, Big Frog, yet?? I'm no longer sending (or doing) business to/with the 'other place' here in the neighborhood-crappy customer service/quality. New place rocks: Big Frog/Winter Park.

Kelly, THANK YOU! I need to do some blog reading/commenting this weekend... a little behind.

Lisa, who cares if they laugh? I say: laugh first! Having fun w/ it is what it's about. My shirts advertise the Turtles blog and my love for running/blogging... :) Looking forward to hearing from you for a Wed post!

AppleC, you're right- some only lend themselves to one wear. that's why I make sure they are very affordable! ($20)...not too bad.

Jill, would love to do the NIKE one, too. :) How are you feeling these days???? Been thinking about you.

Shelley - you and I could definitely run together. :) Love your race shirt for this weekend. Have fun out there, runner gal!

AJH, you've got to get some new tees, friend! :)

Meg, I've got a Run Happy shirt, too.. love that one! :) Sometimes, it's a good reminder on a rough run day. ha ha

MJ, that's funny about the jewelry and your first half. That was my 'deal' w/ my hubs, too. Then, when I wasn't going to run the DPH, he didn't get me any bling. Last minute, I ran. No bling. Bummer. :( But hey, I got a sticker. Ha Ha! Yes, Tiff would be nice. Wow! I really want a piece from Jill @ Lift Your Sole.

Meg, Yay! Yes, it IS about you... Happy Birthday, friend!!!! And the Turtle Tribe will get to know you better next week, too.. how cool! Love the shirt you told us about.

I'm thinking I might need to do a t-shirt giveaway.... (just thought of that while I'm sitting here typing.) Be on the lookout! :)

HUGS, everybody!!
