About my design

by Ellsswhere   
"Forgetting the charcoal is an integral part of the barbecue. You get all your crap out, your dad gets his "Head Chef" apron on, when you suddenly realise... sh*t. No charcoal."



Summer is upon us and its about that time, be sure to wear this shirt so you remember everything.

A few things to address, All the spelling was on purpose, thats a wiener dog...weiners, get it. HA! alright. And those arent the colors its restricted to, just a few that would fit in the size they give you to sub with. Will work on any color with a few adjustments.

And lastly-

Thankyou looserbeech

Enjoy

I wouldn't look at it and go "duh, where's the charcoal?" but then, maybe I should know more about bbqs.

I don't think the "no charcoal" thing is vital to the design. It's funny, but it looks cool anyways. Your comment made me laugh out loud.

i love this except the concept of forgot the charcol is not very obvious...its still a 5 for me though

its simply the name of the design... the main concern for a buyer would be how it looked on a tshirt so im not too concerned with whether or not the missing charcoal is obvious... if it really bothers you well... sorry.

As for the grey poopon... its a fancy mustard brand, basically just a spicy mustard, the real name is Grey Poupon but for many reasons i just made it grey poopon which is better than mustard any day. And as i said all spelling and names are on purpose, spatula is boring and technical sounding, i like words that describe their action, a flipper flips burgers... a spatula doesnt spatula things.

5$ if you like it... and yeah TastesLikeGrandpa if you wanna be a good son you could buy this for your dad, it has many uses. BURN

By inventory I mean that there are alot of themed tshirts that contain all the elements of that theme, or tshirts where a larger object is made of smaller themed ones. 6 months ago they were fairly rare.



I was not making a judgement on the quality of this design, as I think it is fairly good and being an Aussie I must support the barbeque - even if you americans seem to use alot of accessories =P

A couple things about the mustard:



You forgot brats! Oh, the blasphemy.



The mispelling/copyright dodge bugs me a lot. If you really want it to be spicy mustard, just call it Dijon mustard, which is what Grey Poupon is.



Also, I've never seen Dijon mustard in a yellow mustard container. Does it come that way?



These things would prevent me from buying the shirt, were it printed. (Also, we spell it ketchup where I'm from, but I know that's not universal. And the fact that if I wore a barbeque shirt that did not contain brats, I would probably be lynched.)



Anyway, you did a good job with this, and I really like it. All that stuff is nitpicky, and I know it. I like it best on green.

...and the brat thing, um, isn't really about mustard. Oops.

What is this? a shopping list?! Being Australian myself i can tell you that you are missing two vital ingredients; Beer and an apron with a big set of plastic tits on it (although an apron that says "kiss the chef" will suffice). Plus you americans have no idea when it comes to bbq's, that 'grill' looks like a kids toy. I'm not really excited about your composition either. ..

i think it should be "thongs" instead of tongs...yeah i'm stupid and can't read so i spent like 5 min laughing thinking it said thongs and then I look again and was like "oh crap, it really wasn't that funny..."

Eh, to be honest, it looks like something you'd buy in one of those Santa's Shops that they had in elementary school for your dad. It's alright, but like everyone else said, there's no way I'd be able to look at it and realize that the charcoal is missing right away. Even if I did notice it, I wouldn't get that that's the concept of the shirt.

I think that grey poupon comes in a small jar and not a squeeze bottle, right? But it's not really a big deal.



I like it on the sage.

besides the fact that there's not enough room for everything that people like that has to do with grillings, it would be a nice looking shirt, I'd buy it

yaknow to be honest my first thought was to put beer on here, but i thought about my audience and reconsidered, how would you all feel about beer on this design?
