Homage.
Rip-off.
If anyone sees Liam Smith, pistol-whip him. Even if it means marring the finish.

Maybe he wrote all those ten things himself, completely unaware of your ten things. After all, if forty monkeys on forty typewriters. . .and then wouldn’t you feel bad? It’s really kind of prejudicial, to assume he just lifted your piece and published it.
… and published it on the same color T-shirt, using the same font…
You’re right. I may have been premature in ruling out coincidence 🙂
Yah, i thinks its on that site twice. They could have at least mentioned Franks name…
Damnit Harv, don’t bend your gunbarrel, use your sap! How many times do i have to tell you?
Infrequent commenter, frequent reader. Left the fourth (1) rating… he didn’t have a lower option. (this assumes he isn’t deleting all comments; I could have been 444th for all I know…)
Let’s see if comments show up, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
As far as pistol whipping goes, once again, the ideal defense weapon is a 12 gauge shotgun. The only thing that’ll get its fininsh marred is the perp. Yet another advantage…
“An” Homage, as any teacher of the English language would tell you, is referred to as a “hyper” correction. Say “a homage.”

So blatant. So stupid. Go get ’em IMAO crew.
I thought “homage” was french fer cheese?
Slick – In most cases, you’d be perfectly correct. However, this particular use of the phrase is an allusion to a line from the movie “The Dead Pool”, where the character pronounced it “o-mahj'” (note the pretentious accenting on the second syllable).
Thus I choose to keep the awkward construction intact as a homage to the movie 🙂
Yay! I made my own homage, and it is in english.

All I know is that sometimes, no matter how much evidence there is suggesting otherwise, you must believe that the person really didn’t commit the crime. Like that nice black man from the Airplane movie who was accused of killing his wife and her friend – then it turned out he didn’t do it. I was surprised, but happy that the jury was able to get to the truth of the matter.
Did you have an ©, ® or ™ ? If so why don’t you stuff and cuff this sorry ass twerp
Ron – Technically it was copyrighted the moment it was written, with or without the symbol, but that’s not the annoying part.
The annoying part is that the blog name and website URL are part of the T-shirt. The person making the submission (or possibly StrangeCosmos) cropped that part off from the image.
Ironically, StrangeCosmos re-did the image so that their site URL is now included at the bottom, because, ya know, it sucks to have your site content published elsewhere without due credit.
I hear what your saying Harvey. Disgusting. But the most surprising part of this whole thing is that Barney Franks’ poolboy knows how to use HTML. I guess they (finishing school) forgot to teach him that stealing is wrong.
