It’s a busy hurricane season already:  Gustav just passed, and three more storms — Hanna, Ike and Josephine — are on their way.  As a result, there’s no better time than today to forget about stars and Name a Storm After Someone You Love!

Rather than offer you a gift package that involves selecting a special star in the sky and recording your star name and star date, The Bob McCarty Shop is offering you the opportunity to purchase a t-shirt or other item emblazoned with the design at right that uses the 2008 hurricane season as a platform for poking fun at the entire star-naming scheme.

When you purchase an International Storm Registry T-shirt or other item, you will not receive:

• A beautiful parchment certificate;

• A storm path chart with your name on it; or

• An informative booklet on hurricanes.

Best of all, we will never publish your name in any publication registered in the U.S. Copyright Office.

So what do you have to lose? Join us in this humorous endeavor. Order a Name a Storm After Someone You Love! t-shirt today — for yourself or for someone you love!
