Do you remember those stickers and t-shirts that said things like:

Surfers do it standing up

or

Ballroom dancers do it quick quick slow?

If we had a progarchives t-shirt, what would be written on it?

Proggers do it ....

Proggers do it for more than 20 minutes using unusual rhythms and strange instruments

But why would ballroom dancers or surfers do the same thing? And it seems unusually daft having a t-shirt where it says: I surf,  I listen to Prog Music...hmm

I've got the ballroom dancing t-shirt.  I don't wear it outside the house though.

Don't you think a Prog Archives t-shirt would be a nice idea? I could wear it around the house just like my ballroom dancing t-shirt.

A Progarchives T-shirt is an excellent idea. We could wear it whenever we go to gigs and would be able to spot other forumers in the crowd..  

Proggers do it in 13/4 with frequent key changes and musical mood swings...

Proggers do it on their own

Bankers do it with interest

Nurses do it with care

Proggers do it with rhythm,

Technique, inspiration and flair

 

Ok, not exactly something Alfred Lord Tennyson would approve of, but I tried...

To be honest, not entirely: I picked up the “Bankers do it with interest” from somewhere and then made up the rest .
