Can't buy me love, but you can rep yourself a t-shirt contest! I was going to make this part of my sig, but it only allows 500 chars.
Announcing the "Can't buy me love, but you can rep yourself a t-shirt contest"!
latenight has won the first and unannounced stage in a three part contest series by giving me my 5,000th rep point. For winning this stage latenight gets a free Off-the-Piste Wear short sleeve t-shirt of his choice. The second free t-shirt goes to the f.netter that puts me over 10,000 rep and the third to the f.netter that reps me the most number of times (not the most points) between 5,000 and 10,000. And away we go...

It's not whoring unless you're getting paid.
But T-shirts come awfully close...

Yeah, that was uncalled for!
Besides, FG, don't even you feel uneasy using "honorary" and "epeeist" in the same phrase?  Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

You can't beat that. If it does then what's the exchange rate? The contest puts the value of a rep point at many times the cash value of your average supermarket coupon.

I'll give you cool points as soon as I do my shopping for the week. Where should I send the receipt?

Also, GTmac will give everyone who gives me my 10th, 20th, 30th, etc rep points... I'm at 9 right now, so come on people! "Life is like a wheel, where everyone steals, but when we rise, it's like Strawberry Fields."

Besides, it's REP! It's not like it matters for anything (other than free t-shirts or broken BF epee blades).

-B Right on both counts, O. Sometime's I can't rep for caption winners, but I've been keeping track and everyone will get their rep. I think Inq is a couple rep down at this point.

Just checked out the Off Piste Wear store -- Nice designs! I particularly like the "Wild Animal Tracks" one.
However, ordering from overseas...sorry but it's just going to cost too much, I think.

I would have expected a bobcat to have tracks similar to housecats (but bigger, obviously). Cats' tracks fall one in front of the other, as if the animal had only two feet rather than four, not side to side like the bobcat tracks here.
Anybody know?
FG has probably bagged and eaten a few. Maybe she can tell us.

I took the shape of the pads and the track pattern from a nature website. I may have misinterpreted the info, though. Fencing T-shirts available at Off-The-Piste Wear **New designs** including f.net themed designs for easy recognition of fellow f.netters at tournaments!
