    The big reveal... Keep in mind that my art app will not give me a straight line on the text. ; But here is the basic idea.

    Fantastic idea, but wasn't Louis' Fruit Bat Experience in 2009? ; See Sean's video here.

    Or do I misunderstand the whole "year after" thing?

    Actually, last year was "Year of the Fruit Bat" at Animal Kingdom. ; Similar to the Chinese zodiac animals having their years. ; So no real reference to Louis.

    Thanks for the explanation. ; I must have slept through that whole "year of the fruit bat" thing.

    Okay, taking suggestions on the placement of text for the Fruit Bat shirt. ; Let me know what you think before I get MY shirt printed (at which point I will find out cost, in case anyone else would like one).

    Option 1) as seen in first post. ; All text on front.

    Option 2)

    Option 3) same as previous image, but on back of shirt the text is above the mini bat image.

    Option 4) ?? Your suggestions??

    Thought of one more possible backside for the shirt with more emphasis on the inside joke...

    I like the bottom version of the joke. ; Stick with it.

    Okay, so this...

    Now, would the small fruit bat on the back look better underneath the "nuts" (insert your own joke there) or keep it where it is?

    I kind of like it on top, but would need to see it on the bottom to be sure

    The two contenders (front is the same, back is different)...

    1) Bat on top

    2) Bat on bottom

    I actually think I like the bat on the bottom better.

    Okay, so I just dropped off my shirt to get printed. ; Cant wait to see how it turns out when I pick it up next week (will post pics once i get it). ; That being said, I inquired about the price of "reprints".

    So, anyone who wants their own "Fruitbat" T-Shirt, it is only $18 per shirt (any size up to 2 or 3xl). ;

    Just let me know by Friday, November 9th so I can place the order that following monday. ; I will bring the tees with me to Pixelmania to distribute.

    "Birthday greetings go out to the cockroach! Two hundred million years old today. Boy howdy! And maybe that comet'll help get rid of 'em."
    Does that help place it?
