hi chris,

i vote that the whole idea sucks.  hahaha.  ok, i'm not trying to be
a butt here.  really!  but i would much rather have a T-SHIRT.  we
got some made for a dock party and we had a minimum order of
11 and got em for $12US apiece.  lotsa juicy colors too!

the reason i'm a t-shirt guy is cuz i want people to see it and ask
questions about it.  i'm PROUD to be a pov-rayer, even if i am a
rank disgusting ignorant newbie.  and i'm a sucker for cool t-shirts
that nobody else around me has, and since i think i'm the only
person in indiana that plays with pov, i think i'd stand out in a pov
T.  a key chain is just TOO SUBTLE!!!
