Apon visiting the gendarme, at seneca rocks, WV i bought 2 shirts. the first one said "if you die we split your gear" and the second one said "Most sports only require one ball" and there was a picture of 2 balls and a climber. Have you seen any funny climbing shirts, if so tell me what they say, even if they are home made?!?! and also ideas for funny climbing shirts !

I always thought those shirts were pretty idiotic. "sportclimbing is neither"... those clumsy a$$ed bitches in enduros need to open their eyes.

I have two shirts that are somewhat funny.
One i bought in jackson hole and it says "in most places getting this high is illegal" and it has a picture of a guy climbing an overhang.
The other i bought at a climbing store outside Smith Rocks it says "Redpoint Excuse checklist" then gives like 10 excueses like "its too hot" "it too cold" "its too creasy" "too many people are talking" "these shoes suck" "this rout sucks" "a nubbin must've blown off" "i hate climbing cuz i'm short" "I hate climbing cuz i'm tall" "I hate climbing cuz i'm lame"

sport, trad, bouldering, mountaineering... we hit up climbing in oregon, cali, nevada, utah, and idaho
pretty cheap if you do what i did:
buy a couple of white hanes t-shirts... coupla bucks
special paper for a printer that can be used to transfer image to cloth... ~$10
design away!
"wicked sick hard, dude" right center on the front... BIG block letters =)... maybe I'll post a picture

the quote was more like:
"There are only three sports; motor racing, bullfighting and mountaineering. The rest are merely games"
BTW I used to work at a gym and we had a pretty good ad guy designing shirts.
"Screw gravity"
"No refs, no teams... just balls"
"the biggest boulder is in your shorts" (didn't care much for this one..)
I can't remember any more..

Sorry I didn't perform the 33 second google search before.

Actually I'm pretty sure Hemingway did say that. I know I've read the quote before, I'll check "The Quotable Climber" and let you know.

[Edit]
I thought "The Quotable Climber" would have been a good reference but since you obviously know alot about Hemingway, I'll bet on you.

I'll save you the trouble:
""There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing,
and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games."
This is one in a long list of quotations mysteriously
attributed to Ernest Hemingway. While the general
public seem to agree that this is in fact a Hemingway
quotation, scholars have some reservations and for
good reason. The early Hemingway did not believe
that bullfighting was a sport. For him it was a tragedy.
See his October 20, 1923 article titled "Bullfighting
A Tragedy" reprinted in *By-Line: Ernest Hemingway
Selected Articles and Dispatches of Four Decades*
edited by William White. Hemingway reiterates his
beliefs regarding the tragedy of bullfighting in his 1932
book, *Death in the Afternoon.*
All best,

I have a great shirt I bought at the PBC a couple years back. It was a take on the "No Fear" silliness and it sported a "$#!+ Bricks" logo on the front and the back went like:"40 ft run out above a plecebo placement to an RP seam, rope drag from hell, only 20 minutes of daylight left, and it's starting to rain"
"$#!+ Bricks, when you can taste the fear"
