mickey

Thanks so far, guys

Here’s the Table of contents for the new issue.

mickey: I’ve already requested more from author Chen Pengcheng on Dog Boxing. Meanwhile, you’ll find a lot from Chen on our ezine. And we replaced the ‘break boards’ ad with the one one page 29. :wink:

page 111 and the back page are nice adds. :o :smiley: :rolleyes: :eek: :smiley:

Shaolinlueb = 1 track mind

You know, I just got the first complaint about the **** shirt just this week. He said we were promoting the rape of asian women with that ad…

tell him to take the plug out of his @$$. thats what i would do. :smiley: you can quote me on that :wink:

I’m not sure what made me buy that shirt just now…the girl wearing it, what it says on the front, or just supporting Gene’s shameless plugs. :slight_smile:

If I don’t get that FREE UNLEASHED poster I’m never buying anything from M.A.M again.

Unless there is another attractive female wearing warm-up pants that say “Entrance” with an up arrow on the right leg and “Exit” with a down arrow on the left leg. Of course only a female friend would be allowed to wear them. :smiley:

ewallace

We still have plenty of posters. If you don’t get one, let me know and I’ll go kick the packer’s arses and send you one personally. :slight_smile:

how about warm-up pants that say “B@D@SS”

Considering I’m a lifelong dallas cowboy’s fan I would love for you to go kick the packer’s arses. :slight_smile: Especially that Bret Far vra.

Tanks.

I’d probably stay away from any girlies that had a pair of them babies on.

Now if it said Fresh @SS then I would propose on the spot.

yeah stay away from the ones that say stinky @$$. or on on the front that says smells like dead tuna. :o :frowning:

im still contemplating whether to buy the year of the **** tshirt. gene you ever find out if they have any year of the snake shirts left over?

Hum Sop Lao say, “just ripe for harvest”. Ban lo sik l’ban li hai da. :rolleyes:

so, um, where’s the snake shirt?

Sorry SLL

KungFuMagazine.com has been doing a special annual zodiac shirt every year since 2001 - the year of the snake. We only do the shirt for that year. The **** shirt is this year. We did snake, horse, and monkey. We skipped ram for some reason - that was 2003 - we just couldn’t think of a good concept. They’ve all been my conception, more or less. Snake was the weakest of the line. I’m not sure what I was thinking - green lantern or something. Oh well, I can’t hit all of the time. The horse was fairly sucessful since we did a play on Fubu with Mabu (horse stance). Monkey didn’t actualize well since we were experimenting with a silver metallic ink. Unfortunately a lot of the detail of the monkey’s face makeup (based on the monkey king opera figure) was lost and the color didn’t hold well. It’s still available since we have some leftovers.

We carry a full line of traditional zodiac shirts and our TN office graphic designer usually does something that’s more generic for Tiger Claw, our parent company, which wholesales to all styles of martial arts. We do a special line that has the KungFuMagazine.com logo on it, which is the green lantern snake, mabu, and monkey king versions that I mention above. The KFM **** has been the most successful of all our zodiac shirts so far.

I already have an idea for next year, year of the Dog… :cool:

A play on words usually makes for good shirts. For instance, a buddy of mine has a shirt that says “Green Piece”, which has a picture of a green .45 on it. I’ve tried to steal it on a couple of occasions but he also has a steel piece that he shows me when I am about to get away with it. :slight_smile:

Oh of course you have to skip the ram. Well maybe I can get one next time 'round…in 2015!!

I did enjoy the article on Monk Shi Sugang, very intersting read.

Thanks for coming back OT, PangQuan…

…I was beginning to give up hope. I mean when we go from Shaolin to ****s… :rolleyes:

I’m very fond of Shi Sugang. He’s always been very generous with his knowledge with me. I remember one year, some one had given him this Metallica shirt, and for some unknown reason, he loved the design, even though he had no idea what it was. He wore it all the time. I have a pic of him somewhere, wearing it right in front of the temple. I’m sure slamming your head through a block of granite sounds just like a whole Metallica concert compressed into a single moment of impact. :wink:
