    I have two suggestions for your T-shirts:

    l. Tape or pin them to your garage walls.

    2. Have some quilts made from them. Then you could raffle them off and donate proceeds to charity. #tshirt

    @Murilee Martin: Old t-shirts get stretchy and stretchy stuff doesn't work well on quilts. I had an old collection of 60s/early 70s Fender t-shirts--Fender has brought back some of them, but not all of them, strangely enough. We tried various ways to save them but the only one left is "The World's Favorite Love Machine" with some cartoonish birds and bees on it--after seeing the rest fail as pillows, throws and such, I can tell you that this kind of material is really made for t-shirts, period and I'm glad I didn't risk the "Love Machine" one, which is currently in hiding in the bottom of a drawer. #tshirt

    The really great thing about Lemons is that it actually does restore my faith in human nature--the creativity, the humor, the lunacy, the ultimate kindness and cooperation--seriously, it may become the route to world peace. At the very least there will be (someday!) a Lemons International.

    D&D, Mooks on Dyno Fresstyle bikes, and the team that looks like they just walked out of Monty Python's Holy Grail are my new Favorite People. I am glad that Crazy German Guy got some deserved coverage here, too.

    Should I enter, I doubt I have the creativity necessitated to pull off such costumes...

    Not having a good theme, I think, might be a bigger problem than not having a race car.

    At least if you have a good theme, you have a chance to win.

    @fuzzy plecoroom: That makes two of us.

    I'm plenty creative with JB Weld and parts which shouldn't go together, or even be used, but costumes...not so much. The Corporate Machine took the only idea I had, Cadillac and all...though I was shooting for a different Caddy.

    I have another idea for a Cadillac, but, shhhh, y'never know... I might hit a big lottery...if I should "play".
