Great tee....... although I have to point out that if push came to shove then "lozenge" & " Door hinge", rhymes with orange satisfactorily enough to stop the little ball of vitamin C from crying.... 5$

Perfect job of displaying the message without actually writing it out.

Yeah I don't think "fairy" rhymes with "cherry" either..and "grapple" doesnt count because it has "apple" in it.

El_Dictador_Cubano
El_Dictador_Cubano on Apr 12 '06
LLLLOOOOOVVVVEEE the idea, but for further reference... "tropicana" doesn't rhyme at ALL with banana. I have been sitting trying to think of how it could. Also, "escape" doesn't really rhyme with grape. So, other than your lack of fitting rhyme words, it is great.
El_Dictador_Cubano
El_Dictador_Cubano on Apr 12 '06
maybe for grape, use "drape" or "cape"... "escape" doesn't work b/c of too many syllables.

rikyuso on Apr 17 '06
Now that I think about it, the shirt color is kinda weird. I'd be willing to sacrifice the "realism" to have a purple pear.

And ferry, fairy, very, scary, etc. all rhyme with cherry. The words can be changed before the print.

And anyone who doesn't think "fairy" rhymes with "cherry" has never seen Fairly Oddparents. And should go watch now.

Cosmo owns your soul.
