    Riding on Pirates did die out dear Katie
    Should have stayed in your seat for the drop, matey

    Long Disney lines put Dennis beneath this grass
    He might still be with us if he'd gotten a Fast Pass

    When the gang of dwarves killed Justin, he put up a fight
    But we'll never know why he was dressed as Snow White

    (I had someone else here, but I figured it was unfair to put someone else in drag for fear of offending, so I jumped on that grenade!)

    John died riding Everest; he was thrown from the car
    He failed to lower his safety bar

    To a better place did dear Karen depart
    Run down on Main Street by a motorized cart

    Will choked to death, and not very cleverly
    Took a dare to drink 10 cups of Beverley

    Totally digging this idea. ; I am thinking 2 shirts...the official shirt and a tombstone shirt for the Halloween party. ; What say you?

    Just let me know so I can send you a couple of shirts (in my size) to send to the printers.

    i need to decide how we are going to go about this. ; if we go cafepress, i can just "create" shirts for anyone who wants them and upload them for a print-on-demand. ; the problem with using local print houses is the cost up-front. ; it costs a fortune to make screens for each shirt individually and in color. ; cafepress may be the way to go. ; recommendations?

    I would say Cafepress (or similar Print On Demand website) is the way to go for individual shirts. ; If you did it, then the design would be consistent. I believe you can get printing on both front and back. ; Put Pixelmania logo on back and individual tombstones on the front.

    Group shot in the new HM graveyard with these shirts would be epic!

    Added a base, darkened the text for readability, modified the lighting effect a bit. ; Looks slammin', no?

    I like it...make the base a smoother and darker (or lighter) kind of granite so you can see it against the stone part. ;

    Burned base 10%(x2) midtones, gaussian blur .5px, adjusted lighting, made base a bit narrower. ; DONE!

    I'm liking this - the Cafepress type idea is good...let anyone get what they want - though hopefully with one that has available large sizes! ; I like the idea of the full cemetary Pixelmania shirt...and maybe even as a side-idea, individual headstone shirts for anyone who wants them, with their death rhyme of choice on it (doesn't have to be the one I picked for everyone, in case someone likes a different one!).

    I've never used the Cafepress type places - I assume you can pick shirt colors, thickness/brand, sizes, etc.?

    Tim, these are absolutely genius! Love them all.

    We're planning on being down for the 40th Anniversary on October 1st, so I'm not sure we can swing a return trip so soon. (Although I'm sure Sarah would be game.)

    It was great finally meeting some of you last year and putting names with faces, if only briefly. (Such is the nature of a family trip with the parents.) If by some small miracle we do head down for that weekend, I'll definitely be going to the events. The Jim Korkis event last year looked AWESOME and I really regret not just saying, "alright mom and dad, you're on your own for a few hours."

    If anything, Tom, you need to get a shirt with your Tombstone on it. ;

    I cannot compliment Justin enough for his ability to whip up these and being able to stay along the vein of the wit used for the headstones at the Haunted Mansion
