Hey Julia, glad I caught you here, now I don't have to answer your email!
LOL...I'm soooo lazy. Yup, you're right this would make a great cartoon on a t-shirt. I am sorry to say that I couldn't draw this. I can't do portraits or people. The people I paint are only shadows or outlines. I can't do the detail and that is what you need. I can picture it in my mind but I can't draw it.....Sorry! But you know, if you can find an artist you can copyright that and market it. All you do is find an artist ask them to paint/draw what you envision and ask for the rights to it.

they have identified a "thrill seeking" gene that some people have--those who skydive, ride roller coasters, etc. But is it the same as needing to flirt with death? I don't know, I was just bent on having fun!!

I wish I had the money to buy an amusement park
Having my own rollercoaster would be an incredible rush.

Yes my dear...I think you are crazy! Those coasters scare the hell outta me. You are a special breed! I have seen and heard about people like you, but you are the first to give a first hand account. You wild woman!!!

I think beneath the obsession with roller coasters lives an eensy-weensy
little urge to flirt with death. What a thrill, to survive a rickety coaster with seats falling apart!

It would be hysterical to have that t-shirt made, and I'd wear it to an amusement park. I wonder if management would kick me out for inappropriate attire? LOL.

oh my... lol. I love rollercoasters. a few years ago we were at an amusement park in Utah and there was this ride called the Blind Mouse. (or something Mice-like.) Anyway, it's a really jerky ride, not at all my favorite. How the general population did not attain whiplash from this, I am not sure. Anyway, three days after we got home, we saw on the news that during its harsh zig zag turns, a line of cars flew off...
moral to this story? Avoid mice rides...
That would be a great tshirt!
