UKC

My dad sails on alot of regattas near Malta/Siciliy and he's got some wierd machine for making professional looking t-shirts which they use for the crew.
I was toying with the idea of running off some climbing T-Shirts and was trying to think up some witty/humerous climbing related pictures or slogans etc, anybody got any ideas? If I actually make any ofc you would receive one in the post ^^

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: climbers do it with ropes . . .

(where do i send the invoice)

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

Suggested before "FUKC" - Friends of UK Climbing

In reply to rich: Hehe I like that, and what graphic would go with it you reckon? or none at all?

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: how about a picture of 2 people climbing, belayer at top, trying hard to "assist" his/her climbing partner, with the words "out on the pull"

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: or
trad climbers do it with their nuts
or
sport climbers have too many crabs
or
boulders dont get high (picture of blodderer with spliff)

In reply to gear boy: sorry typo boulderers dont get high

In reply to gear boy:

or how about 'oh sh*t i split a tip'
p

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: oh, i was joking - and not in a 'i meant that to be funny' way - more in an ironic way

In reply to rich: naw I like it man, I may just make one. Same with a few others here, keep em comin :P

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: happy to help then

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:picture-> boulderer sat on mat in a suggestive way
words-> want to go to my pad?

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

Dear ThePimp

All you need is a big blank square as most posters on UKC are witless/humourless.

Norrie

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

Unlike our Norrie here, who is an absolute fountain of wit.

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: i am a mountain man, and i like mountain women,

its all in the accent

In reply to Norrie Muir: Dear Norrie

We aren't all humorless like you, so please stop talking for others.

Mac

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

how about "I like a nice pair of jugs"

In reply to Sharket:

class
maybe 'slo pers'
p

That may be true, but we're damn good at smutty inuendos...


@ Sloper, I Likes it, I might make one of someone hanging a huge jug though just so its *cough* 'in context'

In reply to Hotbad Peteel:

how filthy can we go?

i'm sure something could be done along a "fingering that crack" line if it was thought about properly - my brain has gone to sleep however in front of numerous excel spreadsheets...

In reply to mac_climb:
Dear Mac

I never though about you when I made the post. However, your personal humourous T-Shirt would be blank.

Norrie

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: sry i meant @ sharket, i just read it as sloper because I expect that off him not you :P

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

or how about

'shit piss'

p

p.s. grab slopers and do something with them

In reply to gear boy:

Heh I read that as 'Its all in the ascent' Might work well with a piccy of a mountain lass on it eh ^^

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

you could just make a girly tshirt with it emblazoned across the chest for additional impact

In reply to Sharket:

or dusty chalked up sloer effects in the optimum places
p

In reply to Norrie Muir: I think you would find me quite different if you meet me. But now you have insulted me so i will never let you see me be funny sorry.

In reply to Hotbad Peteel: seeming as so many people here we could have a climbing having shite coming out there mouth. Or we could give them a empty space to write with a marker pen and so they can write what they want in the space

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: This was done a couple of times in the past and there were some great slogans suggested. Just tried a search but I think they've disappeared now.
There are numerous phrases that could go on the front of a t-shirt with the usual '..but what have they done on grit?' on the reverse.

In reply to Helen ~Taylor: Yeh theres alot of potential in the thread already, soon as I get some time (perhaps this weekend) I'm gonne sit down and paintshop some designs up. If you think of some of those numerous phrases then by all means post em here.

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:
anybody got any ideas?

Dear ThePimp

Howabout individual ones? Like the following:

"High & Mighty" for the wee man.
"Trust me, I'm a Lawyer" for sloper.
Etc.

Norrie

In reply to Norrie Muir: 'Im really fit' mac_climb

In reply to Hotbad Peteel:

On that note I don't suppose anybody has some good photos in their collection with a top down view of someone hanging matched on a large sloper? (Long shot I know but it beats going to the peak just for the shot)

In reply to chris tan XLIX:


I like it.

In reply to mac_climb:

Dear mac

That is good, I like your humour.

Norrie

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

i was trying to say that but typed it wrong!!

swiss tony approaches->

climbing a mountain is like making love to beautiful woman........

you put in all the effort only to find its a false summit.

i think various taglines can be added here

In reply to Norrie Muir: Have you seen my profile picture, you will see that im not joking.

In reply to Hotbad Peteel: Hmm might be at the wrong angle for someone hanging from a lasses 'slopes' kinda needs to be top down but slightly behind (if that makes any sense)

Incidentally wtf is up with the manc weather right now? I just looked out and its like the world has been eclipsed with darkness and the heavens have opened up :x I'm supposed to take a 30 min walk from picadilly to mcc in 30 mins in a damn suit!!

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: TPSE0?
or a whole new clothing brand called E0

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

'If you fall I'm stealing your gear'

In reply to Goatz:

i pull the trigger on my friends
p

In reply to Goatz: I am 20 dude, and therefore skint. That's probably why I enjoy bouldering so much ^^

In reply to Hotbad Peteel:
>how the hell are yo going to manage that without being able to fly ffs

Easy peasy, do you see his feet? >:P

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

my mate Wilbur's always shouting:

"gaston the crack"

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: MY NUTS ARE TOO SMALL AND IVE GOT NO FRiENDS

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: IF YOU DIE WE SPLiT YOUR GEAR

In reply to mac_climb:

I would suggest the following would be more apt:

"I'm really Kemal from Big Brother" mac_climb

In reply to Goatz:


I like that one

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: I want a tee-shirt with


'AVE IT!'

on the back. A guy at our climbing wall has one and I really covet it.

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

I did a pici on photoshop with me 1/4 the size of a big american SUV, doing a rock over trying to get in the door, and at the bottom 'I'll buy british next time!'

It was better than it sounds!! I'll see if I can dig it out!!

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: Theres one at my climbing centre and it says "if my shorts change colour, take in the slack"

I love it

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

An "I'm with stupid" t-shirt with the pointing hand pointing up (for when you are belaying).

An "I'm with stupid" t-shirt with the pointing hand pointing down (for when you are leading).

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

i have seen it somewhere before. it was i think on a sticker which i thought would look good on a tshirt and it was

'give blood...go climbing'

i also like the i have small nuts and no friends dealor whatever it was. quality. quality.

In reply to MeMeMe: nice

In reply to Phil Winwood:

haha thats awesome.

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

Fave between me and one of the guys I climb with is:

Error message 27 - arm failure imminent due to pump.

Got used an awful lot when I was seconding an E1 a few weeks back in the most awesome display of crap climbing ever.

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

Spotted a guy walking down the road yesterday with a t-shirt that had "WELL...IT WON'T SUCK ITSELF"
plastered on the front
Filth.... but it made me chuckle!!
R.

In reply to Phil Winwood


Really! I know the bloke that made those shirts.
He'll be impressed they made it that far North, being sold in Ipswich...

To elaborate, the company's called 'Cracked Rib.'

As well as "If my shorts..." they have the other good 'un, "Do you trust your wife this much?" accompanied by a picture of a DMM Wallnut.

In reply to Alex Purser: like the wacky bat one with a 10, a 3 and a tiny nut saying "faith hope and charity" underneath.

In reply to ceri:

Indeedy. Wacky Bat is £££ though.

Anybody that reckons they've got a good one, why not have a crack at designing it.
Sell them if they're good enough!

In reply to viking:

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:
"grab a jug and place your nuts in a tight crack...
just make sure you're protected"

(sorry)

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: how about like a camoflauge style thing, but cover it in cams

' cam-oflauge' lol

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

We just had this knocked up for a mate who's moved overseas...

http://homepage.mac.com/gcrapper/choose/Choose%20Climbing.pdf

He seemed quite pleased!

In reply to Alex Purser:


rooting through the bargain bin often finds a few, I got the faith hope and charity one for £7... bargain

In reply to idiotproof:

Cool. Did you ever enter the competition thing by the way?

In reply to Gareth C:

Like it.

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp: "last one deads a sissy"

In reply to djviper:

Joe Simpson had that one

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

15 Stone Monkey.

In reply to Gareth C: did a train spotting one when i was at uni and the film was out, like the "lard wear" though !-)

In reply to Bartlett: one did the rounds a few years back, called "stoned donkey"

In reply to ThePimpOfCrimp:

I like to fist jam into tight cracks!
Want to touch my nuts? picture of a nut

In reply to djviper: That one thats been made before or something you came up with?

In reply to gear boy: the caving club at liverpool uni have a transpotting style t-shirt like that which is also very good.
