Team Average Joe’s
The National Breast Cancer Foundation City Treasure Hunt is on again this Saturday, and this year we have been a little more organised. For starters we came up with a slightly better team name. Last year we were called “Terrence & Phillip”, something Nathan got from South Park. There was much confusion at check points when the event officials kept asking what our team name was and we’d say “Terrence & Phillip”, and they would reply “yes, I have your names, what is your Team name?”, to which we would say “Terrence & Phillip”, and the ongoing dialogue just goes in circles. Needless to say that we lost countless seconds trying to communicate the team name across.
So this year we chose a more streamline name for the team, which was inspired by the movie Dodgeball. No, we didn’t name the team “The Purple Cobras”, although Nathan did have a strong preference to that. We decided to call ourselves the “Average Joe’s”.
I decided to make t-shirts with the team name on the front so that we can just point at the t-shirt when we are lying on the ground recovering from a run between checkpoints. After a crash course on Gimp, I went ahead to create the Average Joe’s graphic. The image was printed on to an iron-on transfer using a desktop printer. The transfer was then ironed on to the t-shirt, and hey presto the photos show the end result.
