Let's be honest. The most important aspect of a conference isn't
location, speakers, sessions, or dare I say it, food, but rather the
t-shirt you go home with. This year CFUNITED is looking to the
community for help in designing the 2010 conference tee shirt. All you
need to do is come up with a snazzy, funny, coy, etc bit of CFML code
to put on the front of the shirt. As an example, a few years back a
company produced a set of beer glasses with some
There will be a first, second, and third place winner. The first place winner will get 50% off their ticket to CFUNITED and their code printed on the official conference tee shirt. The second and third place winner will both get $200 off the ticket price.
To enter, simply post your entry as a comment below. I'll be picking winners Friday at the end of business.
As a reminder, CFUNITED is coming soon. You have 28 days left to register. Myself, and many other community members, will be speaking on a variety of topics. Register now!

though, I see more people clinging to the fact CF is still alive, then claiming it was ever dead.

You should really addtoken="false" so you don't send your session id's but that might not be necessary for the tshirt ;-)

So for 2nd and 3rd place, I pick both Ryan V and Zach B for their Rick Astley inspired submissions.
However - I could not pass up #28 from Matt G:
<cfexecute> or <cfabort>. There is no <cftry>.
Gigi had one similar - but I preferred Matt G.
So... that's our winner! Thank you everyone!

King Arthur theme. "knighted" in italics to distinguish.
Perhaps include a pic of a shield with the ColdFusion bolt on it.
