Everybody Loves a Free T-Shirt

Including you.

For proof, just think back to the last time you were at a sporting event and a t-shirt launcher made an appearance.

Now tell me that you and/or half of your section didn't go apeshit. Tell me how, as those white cotton missiles arced skyward, you didn't see grown men shoving small children aside and throwing elbows at the elderly. Tell me it's never been you.

Maybe it was those wacky kids from the Pepsi Party Patrol that got your heart pumping. Or perhaps it was the Zambonified antics of red carpet regular Sparky the Dragon (or his cohorts) that shot you our of your seat. Either way, some of you were incredibly amped up about the prospect of getting your hands on one of those elusive freebies, regardless of its size or whatever was screen-printed across it. Just like you were that time you used a fake name (Art Vandelay?) to sign up for a credit card. Or when you ate that ninety-six ounce hamburger. Or the time you gave blood in the parking lot outside Modell's. Or when you rescued that three-legged dog.

I'm happy to announce that here at Bluenatic, we've got ourselves a t-shirt launcher of sorts, too. Thanks to the good people at Reebok. And if you want to win the shirt pictured above, all you have to do is correctly answer the twenty questions that appear below. No blood donation required unless you're from Philadelphia. Or you're this guy.

As you'll quickly learn, some of the questions are easy and some of them are not so easy. But to win one of these snazzy Reebok Speedwick shirts (retail value $24.99), you're going to have to get them all. Or at least more than everybody else gets.

I've only got a limited quantity of shirts, so please email your answers to weinstein@bluenatic.com by Friday, August 22nd.

No cheating.
