Atta boy Joe! :kewl: That would look good on our RI license plates.Maybe we can get them to change the slogan on them.

Thanks - You know, a million online tackle shops have sprung up since I started. It's really cut-throat competitive with some pretty sophisticated people entering the picture. I fully expected it to happen though - it's unrealistic to not expect competitors to enter the marketplace.
I'm only one guy - can't compete on that level, so I figured it was time to shift. At least when I publish a book or come up with a design, I hold the copyright or trademark. And yes, I know how expensive it is to defend it - you gotta sell a lot of shirts to pay bills from Salter & Michelson.

I know what you're saying Joe - piracy on our copyrighted work cost my wife and I a photography business we'd had for over 20 years...and we had it happen with both our commercial work and the things we did on a retail level toward the end of the biz...:hs:

Despite all the benefits of digital imaging, copyright violations - and the expense involved in pursuing them - are the other ugly side of the coin for people who try to make a living on their creative skills. And I've got the attorney's fees to prove it.

On the other hand, Joe - in terms of competition - you've got the one thing that can't be bootlegged...

Charisma....:hihi:

Joe is surely a Fart Smeller, I mean smart feller

I rarely order something online but when I do it's always from Joe

congrats Joe!

Probably inspired by this photo I took on Block and posted on this site a few years back. One of my favorites. Glad someone like Joe got a good idea on how to use it.

that's just awesome Joe, you are a true entreprenuer and I wish you continued success!

Uh ohhh....:hidin:

Joe, you may be getting contacted by an attorney from the firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe....:laughs:

Hey, how many people found themselves ditching a one-night stand and thinking to themselves, "Life Is Good" while making an early-morning escape? I can remember thinking that on several occasions as early as the mid-1980's.....

But it was not until 1998 that those bastid Jacob brothers from Boston trademarked the phrase, stuck it on a shirt, sold 20 million pieces, and got into 550 stores.

I told Joe we need to get some big shot celebrity to wear one of his sweatshirts around and have the picture of them in People Magazine -then things would take off. Anyone know Matthew McConaughey or Anne Hathaway.

Tom Brady or Giselle would work

I know John R is big :uhuh: but may not be big enough

I could get one to Bill Belichick, but he won't be wearing it at a game, maybe out on Nantucket though.

Good stuff Joe :btu:

great idea boys, give some to Jon and Kate plus 8!

or now it's gonna be Jon plus 8.....hookers!

Or one hooker and an eight-ball.
