Is it Bush or Shoemoney!?
Today is a great day. My buddy Derrik over at Flipping Rich were nice enough to give me my first free piece of blogging schwag! You should ask my wife how excited I was when she told me I had a package. Somehow I knew this was it! So thanks again Derrik, continued success over at your site, your shirt fits great and if anyone else wants me to show off their wares on this bodacious bod, just let me know!

Congrats! When I saw the title, I thought it was the guys from Shoemoney! And I saw the tee from Shoemoney too. :D

Hmm .. what`s all those wires and equipments on background ? Are parts of your new invetion, the bomb with neutrality ?
:-))
However, nice tshirt but don`t send it to me, I don`t like the color.

@Valentin - HA HA. Don’t worry, not planning to blow up anything today! Since you asked, behind me on my desk is a metronome, a Chumby and USB card reader. Feeding into that big power supply on the floor is all that stuff plus my computer and amp for the ol’ guitar. (#):)

You know you could also invite people to send you shirts. Then you put up a post with a pic of you wearing it and with a link back to them.
Shoemoney does it all the time. I’d prefer to see you in those shirts though haha.

@Brown - I think this is something that I’ll have to start doing. (#):)

Awesome headline! Just dragged me to make a comment over. Well, congrats on getting the tshirt and what a cool pose :)

@R-Saurus - Ha ha. Hey thanks. I worked on it for hours. (#):)

You bet! When I got my first schwag by slide.com (it was my 2nd or 3rd post on reviewsaurus), I stood for hours in front of the mirror. he he he !

Very nice! I guess Derrik will have an army of FlippingRich tshirt wearers soon. :)

@R-Saurus - I’m glad you can understand how I’m feeling….GREAT! (#):D
@Carl Pei - Ha ha, in all honesty I think your picture had a lot more style than mine. Maybe I can out do you next time. (#):)

Free stuff, very much for the win!
July 30th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
@Pete - I gotta start using my other site the way you guys use Red Rant somewhat and get some free stuff for me and my readers!

Aren’t you a hottie? ;-)
I like the shirt. I’ve been thinking about getting some for my websites. My print shirts always receive attention at the gym I might as well promote my own websites.

@Opal - And aren’t YOU a good liar! (And we should def get some shirts of our own).
July 30th, 2007 at 10:06 pm
Im sorry it took so long to send. Ive been a little behind.
No offense to any other site but I believe the shirt for linkback was mostly started by yours truely. I think more people are doing it, but its hardly orginal.
It got the most notice when I got John Chow to do it. Special thanks to the Derrich/Derek’s, Shaun, and all the others that helped me kick it off. Ive made some great friends from blogging!

@Derrik- Thanks again for the shirt, certainly made my claim. And that is a BOLD claim you make sir. I think you gotta provide some details on this vs when Shoemoney started going crazy with it since I think most ppl give HIM the credit these days. *nod*
July 30th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
Yo, looks like you are right. I just googled it and he was doing it as early as 2/2006. Sorry Shoemoney.
Honestly I hadnt seen the shirts until Derek Semmler gave some away.
Shoemoneys shirts are way cooler than mine too.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
@Derrik - Ha ha. Don’t even worry about. It takes a big man to admit when he might be wrong. And don’t knock your shirts. I really thought that your text style and ESPECIALLY your logo was spot on. Keep up the good work and I’m sure I’ll talk to you soon. (#):)
July 30th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
+1
@Derrik - Oh and um, don’t worry. Shoemoney isn’t a REGULAR reader of my site anyway.

“If you shill it, they will come” That’s the mantra of how we get free stuff :)
Seriously though, PR folks are usually happy to help out with stuff, except for Red Bull, who wouldn’t answer my e-mails!

@Pete - Well hopefully I’ll be trying my hands at this soon. (#):)
