Beijing Olympic Pollution

The runners step up to their starting blocks, there’s a tense feeling in the air…so much time and effort has been put into making this day perfect. The runners are in top physical form, they have trained hard and will never be as ready as they are now…they want to destroy the Olympic records set by their former idols.
However there’s only one problem however: where the hell is the track? and the hurdles for that matter?

Todays Tshirt of the day goes out to probably the most gentle sasquatch ever, he wouldn’t harm a fly and rarely does anything violent…there’s even talk that he’s a vegetarian, much to the dismay of the other sasquatch in the area.
So without further delay let’s look at the very cute, very cool Grrr arg design by stu031.
