I'm planning to run the Minnesota Half Marathon barefoot in early August. I've always wanted to wear one of those t-shirts with a funny saying on the back for a race. I think I want to make an iron-on for the back of my BRS t-shirt. So far people have suggested the following lines,


"Have you seen my shoes?"


"My other shoes are also missing."


Anyone else got any funny lines I could borrow?


EDIT by TJ: Check out the front page for a list of all the funny lines we have come up with since SP started this thread. It's quite funny when you read them all together: http://www.barefootrunners.org/build2/story/funny-lines-back-my-tee-shirt

I'm considering that too. 

I'm considering that too. Although I'm always trying to talk to a lot of people about barefooting at these events, and funny shirts generate more interest.
 
That line is funny to most

That line is funny to most people who read it or hear it. :bigsmile:
 
Good point TJ. It would be

Good point TJ.

It would be nice if the BRS shirts said something on the back already. From the back right now I just look like a barefoot dude in a grey shirt.

I'll have to think of something too, have to work on getting a shirt ordered first though. What's the ship time usually? I've got time before the MN meet up, no?
 
Mine shipped in about 3

Mine shipped in about 3 days. Not long at all. You'll be fine Zum.

I was going to do an iron-on for the back. They make some pretty decent ones now, but they don't sell single sheets. Let me know if you want to go in on some iron-on paper.
 
Will do! I'll get crackin on

Will do! I'll get crackin on it after we get back from vacay...headed to Elbow Lake for a week, near Itasca State Park :) Can't wait! Morning the fact that I can't do my usual runs up there though (we go every year and I've got my routes all mapped out...sigh, they're gravel though so at least I won't have to mess around with that until next year ;) )

How about,

"God made my feet, Chinese children made your shoes;

I sleep well, how about yooz??

Not sure if that is Hikeyou but it rhymes better!



Or you can use, "Barefoot Runners do it like they do it on the History Channel."
 
The haiku would something

The haiku would something like this, right?



God made my feet

Chinese children made your shoes

I sleep well, and you?





I think cool funny lines on the back of the shirts is a great idea. Funny seems to be the better way to get people on our side, rather than harshing them. But, it IS a good harsh. True dat.

Or maybe a limerick? There

Or maybe a limerick?

There once was a runner named Pete. Who had foot coffins attached to his feet. He got hurt, threw them off, and said with a scoff, "I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS RUNNING SHOE SHIT (or "sheet" I suppose rhymes better)!"

Hey, I'm not a poet...
