If Shakespeare were a vegetable...

is it because kids hate shakespeare but it's actually good for you (ie; it makes you smarter)?

Ahh... ironic indeed. My sources tell me that broccoli (boiled (1/2 cup)) has 0.66 mg iron, whereas the same amount of spinach - a less iconic vegetable - has 3.2 mg iron. I like the "ironic" title (like "bionic") but would "irony" have been better?

The idea really is to re-define familiar words. though what you said makes sense too!

Thanks for your little spinach Vs broccoli facts Webdreck! Glad to see you get the concept! Yeah, I was toying with the title "irony" over "ironic". I liked "irony" as it better described the nutritional properties of broccoli and seemd like more of a real word in this particular context. however, "ironic" seemed less wisy-washy and had more impact, and like you say, would read like "bionic" but without the 'b'.

heehee $5

this made me chuckle.

i'm voting for irony ...

awesome.

it took me a while....i'm just not that quick....and i'd hate to have to explain this to everyone....

this made me guffaw on contact, random and funny

uhh... i MUSt be missing something here. i have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

got it too, but also prefer irony

wtf?



sorry i don't get it...i'm slow and dumb

I love it, I don't care if it makes sense somehow XD The reason I love it is because it doesn't make sense to me XD

I also prefer irony. True, ironic sounds more impactic, but to those who get it, irony just sounds more correct. I also think of spinach as the ultimate irony vegetable, but this works very well too. I love it.

Wow I'm out of it. That should say impacting, not impactic.

Then it should be said like:



"a-yornick"



and not



"ay-ronick"

Exactly Kaloyster. It's just a simple shift in the pronunciation of the word. Must admit, after all these comments, I'm favouring "irony" too. It just makes better sense doesn't it? IRONY: To be full of iron.



Is that one of those things that can be changed before printing or would a re-submission be the likely outcome?

You could make that change, I'm sure.

i'd prefer ironic. It'd be better if the shirt itself were somehow ironic too, but alas it is merely a pun

I agree that Irony is funnier

I did toy with the idea of making the T-shirt ironic, but decided that it would over complicate things, and confuse the concept. After all, the word on the t-shirt has nothing to do with irony as we know it, but about how iron-rich brocolli is. Thanks for your input though - muchly appreciated!

haha... took me minute. i like it just the way it is.

i love it...everything looks great

i don't get it

I didn't understand it until I read through the comments... I eat broccoli because it tastes good, I was actually clueless as to it being a decent source of iron... spinach rocks too though...

Well now you know Mr. Krieg! Not only is this t-shirt a pun, but it's also educational! Briliant!

Stupid and idioticly made.

That post is written by something so confused, it doesn't know whether to scratch its watch or wind its ass. Clearly, you spend way too much time in darkened rooms in front of your seven-year-old computer turning a whiter shade of pale. Go outside once in a while and breathe, before your brain starts to rot from all that festering stagnation and cognitive dysfunction.



You read like a gimpzoid teenager splashing spit onto the monitor. Don’t you ever have a point beyond giving your fingers some exercise by dancing them randomly over the keyboard? You wouldn't know Up from Down if you had four guesses. Well, you're certainly thoughtless; I just wish that you were keyboard-less, too. I suggest you need Mark Twain's advice; "It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."



What possessed you to think that you were capable of being entertaining or interesting to read? I'd get more pleasure from running my nostrils down a cactus, than reading another contribution from you. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you didn't eat all those paint chips and lead pencils when you were a kid; if your weren't so fat that all the restaurants in town have signs that say: "Maximum Occupancy: 80 Patrons OR You.", or if you didn't have a face so ugly that even your mother didn't know which end to put the diaper on. Who am I kidding? You would.



To sum up: you are about as smart as your rubber bow tie and two left shoes suggest, Bozo. Now, go curl back up in your corner, and continue chewing on your toenails.

okay, that took me embarassing long to get.



i think 'irony' might work better, but i like it anyway. ;)

OMG, that's so nerdy.

I love it.

this took me a minute

but i like it

I caught it after i tried it again with Irony. Hilarious shirt though!

hahahahaa

this is the first shirt today I've seen that I looked at and said "WTF"

I love it. Just cause it's so weird and awesome. And full of Iron!

5$

FUCKING AWESOME

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Oh wait. It make sense. 3.

I thought it was just randomly something stupid ironically put on a shirt.

I still don't see how this relates to Shakespere

Ha ha! Thanks for that comment ranal! Made me laugh! The slight link with Shakespeare was that he used irony in his writings. So if Shakespeare were a vegetable, he'd be broccoli! Because they too are ironic! Make sense now? No, me neither....

I think you meant Shakespeare used puns. Although he does use irony, the mass of puns in his plays (especially his comedies) is overwhelming. Also, this shirt is a pun.

One more thing--I'm extremely disappointed that this shirt was not printed.

Ha well Robilixious, you obviously know more about Shakespeare than me! Thanks for your comments mate!
