But I won't go there...........

Let's NOT go there... I still remember bits and pieces of that night. Lots of fun, but there are some things I'd rather have not done...

Wow. And the day after... Ick.

You on the other hand had to do colors at the crack of dawn……I am just wondering what “colors” you actually saw.:D

Hey Good Idea Kaith, it's certainly a way to get rid of the rest of those t-shirts. ;) hee hee.

I would prefer to have an option to donate 2 bucks every now and then. If PAY PAL is not an option, what are some other products that are for online payments?

Verisign?

I'm reevaluating the paypal idea as my information on them has turned out to be outdated.

Right now, I've got a couple alternative options on raising the cash needed to continue to maintain and expand MT that won't require an "admission" fee.

So, While there may be some form of 'premium' content set up at a later date, forum access will remain free.

I tend to agree that Jill has a good way with words here. She livens the place up with witt. She can be really funny and serious in the same post. You don't get that often with people.

Lastly, I'm not trying to make a pass at Jill. I'm just pointing out facts that her posts are different coming from a woman's point of view. Keep posting Jill and I'll keep reading.

Some of us pay to sponsor MT and have even bought some of the baby blue shirts just to help support this place. So, the rest of you dead beats get off your heineys, shut your mouths and open your wallets.

Good point Seig, although I dont wear a baby blue T-shirt I hope I have gave the staff of MT a couple of good ideas.

I think you should sell Martial Talk Shirts and stuff on Cafepress.com

I use them to sell Ninja Tshirts and Mugs and stuff. (PM me if you want the link... ahem cheap shameless plug)

Basicaly It wouldnt cost you ANYTHING, and youd make a couple bucks from each sale... That way the people who want to donate can, AND also they recieve somthing cool in return...

I Personaly would buy a Martial Talk shirt or Coffe Mug if it had a cool logo...

Anyhow, just a thought.

CafePress only does white teeshirts. Thats 1 major problem with them. The other items are currently being looked at. I set up a shop there about 2 weeks back, and am only waiting on my own order (to check out the quality) before taking the link live.

I do have a small number of the original MT tee shirts still available. They are $10US each, + S/H. Sm, Md, Lg, XL only.

Hey Sports Fans, for you Full Figured ones out there, those XLs are pretty big! I'd say they are about the size of a normal 2x!
Start buying!
