What's Your Coolest T-Shirt?

[Merrick]

I'd have to go with the one I wore today - a dark blue shirt adorned with the bleach drawn/stained visage of Dostoevsky my sister made me

but a close second would be this one I couldn't help buying for its kitsch value:

[Straight Shooter]

1. My coolest T is 20 years old.

It's dark blue, with white lettering that says Never Try To Teach A Pig To Sing, It Wastes Your Time And Annoys The Pig.

It was true then. It's even more true now.

[fortyfeetunder]

2. My favorite is almost 30 years old

It's a cartoon of Richard Pryor and he's saying studying engineering is a b!tch!

[Blue_In_AK]

3. I don't know how "cool" they are

but my favorite t-shirts are my Alaskans for Peace and Justice shirt and my "Alaska Girls Kick Ass" shirt.

[Blue-Jay]

4. "Stop Bitching. Start a Revolution!"

Cool slogan and all, but then I visited the website of the people who made the shirt... Bunch of 60's throwback commune hippy weirdos....

I still like the shirt, though.

[EstimatedProphet]

21. I have that one

Got it at the Bush coronation

[Spider Jerusalem]

5. These two:

First, the grinning disembodied head of JR "Bob" Dobbs: http://store1.yimg.com/I/anticonformity_1852_3504295 (image link is to Yahoo, so you have to click it)

And this one (every time I wear it, people ask me where they can get one)

[Greyhound]

57. OMG I haven't of "Bob" Dobbs since the late 70's. ROTFL

:rofl:

[TlalocW]

6. Mine is...

A picture of Bob Ross in front of an easel with a painting he's making. He's got his back 3/4 turned to "us," but he's turned his head around, and he's smiling, and the tagline is, "Make your trees happy trees."

[TheHelplessLlama]

7. Definitely the shirt for my friend's band.

Gotta love the sketch on the front.

[WindRavenX]

8. NJ: Only the Strong Survive

That's right...North Jersey rocks!

[stlsaxman]

9. I have a deep blue t-shirt with INSECURITY on front and back

in yellow letters.

gets a lot of comments. got it from despair.com

also a Prisoner shirt w/ McGoohan on the front and the quote-

"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered-
My life is my own" and on the back "Be Seeing You"

[mikehiggins]

10. Neil Gaiman's Death

for those of you not familiar with her, Death is a goth chick who invariably deals calmly and sort of warmly with the people who come her way. Everyone.

And to the constant refrain of "why me?" and "why now?" she says something like "you got what everyone gets; you got a life"

I know the thing is cool because I walked into a comic book store with it on and two kids playing one of those contest board games told me so. Since I was 58 at the time I had to figure the shirt REALLY had to be cool for the kids to even notice the fat old guy coming through the front door.

Unless they were ditching school and figured I was a truancy officer.

[bicentennial_baby]

28. Nah

A 58 y.o. in a Neil shirt is way cool...Neil is my absolute favorite author of all time...

[khashka]

33. Neil says Hi, by the way.

If you need me, me and Neil will be hanging out with the Dream King.

I have such a crush on Death "You got the same deal everybody gets: a lifetime".

Fat old guys in Death T shirts seriously rock :)

Khash.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Navy blue t-shirt that says...

LISTEN TO
THE CLASH

Stenciled on by myself. I love it.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

I have this in green, the image is on the lower left side of the shirt and the puppet strings go all the way up one side of the shirt

14. I have a few....

My Skin Two T shirt showing a girl in latex sodomizing her boyfriend (I can't wear it anywhere!)

My RFD tank top with pansies on it.

My Lovehounds T shirt with KaTe Bush with a key in her mouth (the cover of The Dreaming).

The one with the punk vampire dude biting a woman's wrist and Love Sucks emblazoned across it.

Mostly I just wear a black wifebeater cuz it looks good with my pale skin and blonde hair.


Khash.

[Dukkha]

15. this one

[Arkana]

18. I have several I like.

"I Put Ketchup on My Ketchup"

"People Like You Are The Reason People Like Me Need Medication"

"I Like You--I'll Kill You Last" (I got this as a gift, I try not to wear it too often, but I still think it's pretty funny)

"You're Just Jealous Because The Little Men Talk To Me"

[StaggerLee]

19. mine

[sundog]

20. very cool

that's joe dallesandro from warhol's "flesh" ... the smiths used it as an album cover... it is actually one of my avatars :7

[StaggerLee]

24. That's what I've heard!

I've never screened the movie and I've been meaning to for years. Wanna know what's weird? This movie isn't listed on IMDB.com.

:hi:

[sundog]

25. here ya go...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062979/

[StaggerLee]

26. Thanks!

Gonna have a look see soon.

:)

[sundog]

27. it's a freak show

i love those old warhol flicks... you have to have a twisted mind to appreciate them ;)

[EstimatedProphet]

22. Mine

No pic unfortunately, but it says:
"By reading this you have given me brief control of your mind."

[Tikki]

23. 1980: this was their first Tour T.....

This was the art on the back of the T...nothing on the front..
plain white T...
...all art and lettering in black on white...

I have Exene's autograph on one of the sleeves...
This is an extremely rare T....and I treasure it.

Tikki

[khashka]

38. I'm jealous

You have Exene's autograph on your T shirt????

I'd give my right arm for five minutes with John Doe. But I must not think bad thoughts....


Khash.

[barackmyworld]

29. oh this is not even a question for me :p

[Merrick]

35. My dream:

To see my face on a garment worn by you accompanied with the words: "Merrick Is Hot"

[HEyHEY]

30. "BEER FUELED MANIAC!" or "Contents of shirt - one handsome devil"

[PittPoliSci]

31. i have a few.

One is my Team Frankenstein shirt that my girlfriend made me. Looks like a big white F on a black t-shirt, emulating the movie Death Race 2000.

Another one i love she made me also, it was just a big Pogues patch with a buncha people on it and it says "If I Should Fall From Grace With God"

Probably my favorite shirt I don't wear though. It was a white dress shirt, before I went to see GWAR! Now it's a reddish-yellowish-blue with some black tie dye mess from the "blood, urine, cum, and oil" sprayed on the crowd.

[I Know How To Do it]

32. I have a T-Shirt that I've had for 84 years. it says, "Don't Blame me, I

Voted for James M. Cox!"

[WCGreen]

34. Protons have MAss.....

I didn't even know they were catholic..

One I had but can't find anymore....

When the going gets weird ....

The weird turn pro....HST....


And then there is my Balloons to You Teeshirt that I wore when delivering singing balloon a grams.......

Man I wanted to be in show biz so bad....

[mykpart]

36. Remember that I'm an old lady.

In the 70's I had a shirt with a goldfish on the front which said, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." I was newly divorced, so it was meaningful.

I have one now which is about 15 years old that says, "Nice chest for an old lady." It became even funnier for me after I had bypass surgery.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

37. hehe

that's funny! :)

[RebelOne]

46. I also had that same T-shirt.

And at that time I had one that read: "When God created man, she was only joking." And another that read: "The more I know men, the more I love my dog." You and I are probably the same age.

[Jean Louise Finch]

39. Not mine, but my brother's

Royal blue, and just says:

nuke a godless communist gay baby seal for christ

[A HERETIC I AM]

40. My fave is one my big brother gave me....

It is a cartoon of two professor types in front of a blackboard. On the left are all sorts of equations; x/y2x =4+1xc-4y2 x x2z etc.etc.....in the middle it says

"Then a miracle occurs"
on the right more equations.

The caption reads
"I think you need to be a little more specific here in step 2"

I have several that were put out by the Loctite company for the Indianapolis 500. (Loctite is a thread-locking liquid used to secure nuts and bolts and they have been an "Official Supplier" for the Indy 500 for years)

On the front it has their logo and the year of the race.

On the back it says:
"Use Loctite or kiss your nuts goodbye"

[maveric]

41. "Page" Jimmy Page playing his Gibson Doubleneck w/ZOSO

On black!

[VOX]

42. "Clinton-Gore Rapid Response Team" from 1992...

It's getting a little tattered, but it still brings fond memories of working at a Democratic Headquarters in '92. It seems like a million years ago now. :(

[enigmatic]

43. Mine

[Bossy Monkey]

44. Blue Brothers: Grover & Cookie Monster as the Blues Brothers

I am crushed to find that it has been discontinued (or anyway, nobody has it on the internet except eBay).

[madeline_con]

45. Toss UP...

between my Tom Petty "Full Moon Fever" shirt, and the Van Gogh "No Ear" shirt.

[Left_Winger]

47. I have two

As an art lover I have two with paintings on them: one, Klimt "The Kiss" and two, Goya "El Perrosemihundido".

[Wetzelbill]

48. My Dennis Kucinich For President T-shirt!

Hands down!

[eridani]

53. Mine too!

I have a couple of signed ones that I don't wear--don't want the signature to wash off.

Also, I still have my Ladies Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society shirt, but it seems to strike the wrong note these days. It was hilarious in 1978, though.

[Wetzelbill]

58. ha! I bet it was

[MercutioATC]

49. "WWFSMD?"

What Would the Flying Spaghetti Monster Do?"

http://www.cafepress.com/cp/browse/Ntt-wwfsmd_Nao-1_Ntk-All_pv-venganza.26147904_D-wwfsmd_N-21219034_nr-1

[GreenPartyVoter]

50. My "left Bank Cafe" one. The place has been gone for years. People

come up to me to talk about it when they see me wearing it.

[Midlodemocrat]

51. All my tee shirts are cool.

but especially the anti * ones.

[northzax]

52. well, by definition anything I wear becomes uncool

I collect old prep school shirts, REAL ones, mind you, not GAP/Old Navy knockoffs.

I also get them from strange bars when I travel (ideally, I'll get a pint glass and a T-shirt, the tackier the better)

but nothing that's 'cool' per se. So in lieu of anything good, I'll throw up my Wastach Brewing Polygamy Porter shirt, slogan? "take some home for the wives"

on edit, I forgot, I recently dug out my classic "so many fundamentalists, so few lions" shirt.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. I don't wear T--shirts much, but recently I bought one that looks like

this: Not a good pic of me, but whatever!

[Greyhound]

55. Black LA County Coroner T. Elvis & the Attractions My Aim is True t. n/t

[fleabert]

56. "This is what a feminist looks like"

I love that one...

[Floogeldy]

59. This

[swag]

60. Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger

I have one by the artist Jenny Holzer with the same lettering but slight variation in the slogans on the self-contradictory set of propositions pictured here:

and I have a Barbara Kruger shirt in the same vein that was created for the "Content" show at the Portland Art Museum about 12 years ago:



The one people like the most, though, is this shirt with an image of the Mexican Wrestler and film star El Sante battling the mummies of Guanajuato, the shirt a gift from my darling bride upon her return from her faboo Mexican vacation. I don't have an image of it, though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

61. Hi Swag....

I thought I'd seen where you posted that you were married...and now I see this reference to your darling bride...Good for you, and congratulations! Was this recent? If you feel like answering, of course...

I'm always glad to see people marry...love is a wonderful thing...

:yourock:

[swag]

62. Hi. Not a recent thing.

"Darling bride," is a quaint expression intended to convey intense fondness after even many years. A term of endearment, as it were.

Hi, Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. And hiya back atcha, swag!

Well congrats anyhow...on your anniversary!

Thanks for explaining...that was sweet of you...

:pals:
