Keep Yul in Yuletide

By Guest Contributor
December 7, 2010

Forget keeping Christ in Christmas.

It’s way more fun to walk around in a shirt bearing an image of Yul Brynner:

Awesome. You can get that shirt here, courtesy of the South Jersey Humanists! Or… you can win one!

All you have to do is fill in the blanks to the following phrase:

Keep _____ in ____________

Make me laugh (because it’s more fun that way)!

A winner will be picked at random. If you’d like to be considered for the prize, you must live in the US — just make sure the word “troglodyte” is at the end of your comment.

(Thanks to Michael for the link!)

    Keep the TM in Christmas!!! (attributed to Ayn Rand).

    I see previously “soul in Solstice,” but…

    “Keep the Sol in Solstice” has long been my favorite, it works scientifically and for the Roman Sun-god reference predating the Christian claim.

    Apparently it’s “keep gouging in plus size marketing.” +$4 for a 2XL, +$5 for a 3XL, and so on upwards? I don’t mind paying a couple of dollars more for my comfortable 3X t-shirt, but this is ridiculous.

    Guess I’ll go sit in my fat corner with my non-fat wallet where I refuse to pay $22 for a t-shirt just because I’m fat.

    Dang it, Zazzle won’t let me exchange money for product, without setting up a useless account.

    They lost my custom right there; I can’t be arsed filling another invasive registration form and wondering what they’re going to do with all my details.

    Most other sites it’s simple: tell them where I want the stuff sent, and pay for it. Not Zazzle. Too bad, it looked like a good shirt.

  • D Haak

    Keep the ‘He is’ in atheism.

  • Nordog

    Keep the “pepsi” in “dyspepsia”.

    Huh, the link to the shirt no longer works, and I can’t find it with a search (although I did find something really cool while trying – )
