Bantam Live

Whatever happened to bold statements like, "I challenge you" or "I dare you" in the realm of a wager? Yesterday we came across a sweet tweet about Bantam Live that said, "BantamLive.com is HUUUGELY awesome. SugarCRM is kind of the Defacto, but Bantam is rad as F***  ...Delighted with that user sentiment, I tweeted that I was going to take "Bantam Live is rad as F***" and make a T-shirt out of it. About four hours later, the user tweeted back, "Toxx-Clausing this. Maybe a twitpic of the shirt to satisfy the bet? (I'd buy one)."

Toxx-Clausing? Wha? After a cursory search, I learned that "toxx-clausing" is a sort of bet to follow up on a promise or proclamation that originated on internet message boards. ...Uh, ok. We grew up on the streets of NYC, Boston, and Providence and if any one of us had ever said "I toxx-clause you" you could be sure you'd get smacked upside the head. But hey, interland can be a strange place with a language all its own.

Anyway, I followed up with my original intention to make a T-shirt which you can buy now as we just did. And to Landon Noss of Noss Media: Thanks for your nice compliment about Bantam Live. Now we challenge you to buy one as you promised!

UPDATE >> Landon Noss is a man of his word. After conceding the bet he good-naturedly tweeted "Bantam Live is THE defacto SCRM/SPM tool out there, and it's not even finished" and then took a twitpic of his proof-of-purchase for the T-shirt he inspired us to create. Rock on, Landon.
