Tales from Preregistration
The t-shirt team somehow manages to produce more and
more shirts every year, with varying degrees of time left before
the race. In 2004 it was about a half an hour. The incredibly
unneccessary (yet most dear and wonderful) process of
individually numbering each shirt takes a whole heckuva lot of
time and.effort, which you'll never understand unless you're
involved with it. And occasionally we screw something up, get the
wrong size, print a little extra ink, smoosh shit, or even give
the shirt to somebody else at the start, but heck, we are only
human, and very tired from the whole process. Please forgive us.
In an effort to keep our sanity through production,
we like to know why a particular number is
important to you. You are asked in pre-registration to provide a
little tale about your specific predilection, so that we might
share them over the long hours of squeegee pulling. Following are
a bunch from 2004.
sexy shirt...sexy number... one will never find 166 in quantities...
i had this great story, long and annoying to type, thus even harder to read. then i clicked on submit and your popup box made me second guess myself, so i clicked on cancel to do some checking. and of course the entire thing was deleteed. sigh...?!?! if you need to hear the story just ask. its not that good.
This is the number I was issued last year when I registered at the BHP. I'd like to run it again...plus it's my size (2xl).
the number i want is 616 because the sixth letter of the alphabet is f(for face) and the 16th is p(for plant)so face plant...cause that's what i did friday..
I like threes
i should have the # 0, because i am a true nihlist...i believe in nothing, zip, ZERO........NADA!!!...except for life and love baby....and moreso, because i've had more often than any other sucka! ....and if i haven't, it's because some other sucka got in there and weasled it out of you great, great peeps on bikes! i luve ya! come drink at the Hideaway. I'll give ya'll happy hour prices when you have events or meetings here! just be sure to organize it w/ me ahead of time and make sure your babes and boys have your tees or patches to prove your pro-dead baby bikes! party on!!!
His B-day falls on the 26th
and so does his Grandma's. It was the # of the house he
grew up in. It's his grandma's and pop's wedding
anniversary date. The # he wore in little league hockey, since he
was 5. And that he wants to race this year and won't race
under any other #.
I think he should get it, because he's served the DB crew well
over 26 million drinks in the past few years alone....hehe..
let us know!
I was born on 7/2/72 and my boyfriend is Matt Ryan so there
i am lady jake and i won last year (huzzah) p.s. i am a member of maidencourt
i had it last year
cuz, like it's the year i was born and i am older than you!
because
cuz it's my number fool!
Do we really have to go through bull shit explanations again this year?
i grew up in vermont and I gots to represent
it's mine dammittttt
it was the best year of my life
becuase I had sqrt(-1) last year
I apologize profusely. I didn't read the info about the name completely. I still say I deserve it because it has always been my D.B. Race Number!
It is the number of me I won with this number in 2001, thus totally upsetting the competition. To bestow the no. 180 upon any other person would be to upset the cosmic balance of chaos and send Loki after your poor ass. Plus I will give you cash tommorow
i want an XL shirt. PLEEZ. And nikki likes small shirts maybe like a little kids size large or youth or some shit like that. you know girls. again, pleeeez and thank you
nothing to exciting just a weird number that pops up everywhere. I am little, I need a kids large t-shirt.
if you could get me a hoodie along with the t shirt i'll kick you down a few bones
Karli K said she would swap for #313. I had 113 2 yrs ago and it would be really special for me to have it again. I like rainbows and hearts too. I have a big collection of beany babies-would you like to see it? You really are a special person and you are nice too! Thanks!
...a wonderous illumination of the Universe through the magic of numbers...
i own the rope
I have had three shirts with this number, and a licence to kill.
i'm going to fly up thursday
nite the night before, and return that sunday night. i want my
number, no. 737. i'll be paying up when i get there. i hope my
past history of takin' care of biz at the race itself will be
enough to convince you to make the shirt. i'll be there. if i'm
not, take it up with my lil bruvva.
hahahahhahaahahahah
see you's there!!!!
my big bro kicks ars and he says that I can have this # if I pray to bicycle Jesus, Real nice like
no one else wants it
I am almost totally fucking positive i had it last year. and i'm a beacon bitch. shpladow!
Well, I think I should have this number because I was born in 1979 and since you don't have the number 1979, and you won't let me have my phone number as my number, I want 179!!!! :) Please?
cause it's my kids birthday and he's rad.
beacon bitches rule
nobody else has this number
It's the right size, it's an easy # to remember on gameday and I'm fuckn' lazy.
CUZ IT'S HOT, REALLY HOT, OH YEAH
Thats the date im getting married, if I survive this race
er...
suddenly (dun dun dunnnn)I got awfully confused over a simple thing: I picked two numbers (105 and 103) off the list, then thought maybe those numbers are taken since they're already ON the list and assigned sizes...SO...maybe I fucked it up, can you get back to me to let me know?
'Cause I'm a Stone Cold Ma'
Fuckin' Biccle gangsta, an' I'll murder you in cold blood in
broad daylight if I don't gets my number.
Just Fooling! Hook it up please, Yo!
