A place to list t-shirt slogans or whatever.

Here's one by a friend of mine:

My favorite of the day:

"I'll vote Republican
When George W. Bush wins
The Nobel Peace Prize."

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

I'm sort of fond of : Puppies. They're what's for dinner

Though I wouldn't wear it.

And : Danger! Do NOt Look Into Laser With Remaining Eye

Seems like it'd be fun.

I don't understand the slashers shirt.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

I think it's a morbid joke:

Don't draw the attention of a slasher because right now, you are attractive and look good with other men.

Draw the attention of a slasher and you won't be attractive, nor will you look good with other men.

Edit: Wow, was I glad to be proven wrong.
Edit 2: Oh my god, "Harry Potter" erotic fanfiction? Quick, someone shoot me now.

Here's the one CT liked when she saw it on me Sunday:

I bet you'll VOTE this time HIPPIE (really should be seen to be appreciated)

Also...

SHORT PEOPLE - Last to get rained on. First to drown.

And of course...

NOT DEAD YET - The Resistance

I think they call the woman/woman fanfic "femmeslash". In my LotR webcrawling, I've stumbled on some mention of Arwen/Eowyn slashing, which I thought was bizarre in a real "Did you guys even read the same the book I did?" sort of way. Bizarre.

Actually, It's sort of bizarre that THAT would seem bizarre to me, since I've seen characters like Mulder/Krychek slashed and never batted an eye.

(D'oy! CT's link went into that already)

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Just about any popular character is gonna get "slashed" in this context.

I'm just amused it was female writers pairing Kirk/Spock. (squick)

Although I have to admit, I still find the "Very Secret Diaries" to be some of the funniest fanfic out there to date.

How about :

"Learn to Read! Ask me how."

Lisa has one on her site that says "Your logic does not resemble our Earth Logic."

I think a good Hatrack variant would be "Your Irony Does Not Resemble Our Earth Irony." [Big Grin]

I happen to love this one:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/coder/57f0/

Also, this:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/coder/6a20/

I really wouldn't wear the latter out in public, for obvious reasons, but I still think it's pretty clever. [Smile]

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

Yeah, the Kirk/Spock thing squicks me too. [Eek!]

But I feel that way about almost anything Trek-related anymore. [Razz]

I like "Meddle not in the affairs of Ogres, for you are crunchy and taste like chicken" from my Everquest days.

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

Which is also the origin of the Slasher one, I'm sure.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

Thinkgeek rocks for shirts. I want this one.

I also like the "Ph34r t3h Cute Ones" shirt at Megatokyo. I'd link to it, but they are moving their store right now.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

"Enemies move in predictable pattens"

"Don't upset the medic"

"If you're going to shoot it once, it's worth reloading"

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

I inherited a shirt from my bro-in-law that says, "I ran out of sick days so I called in dead." It is pretty beat-up, but makes a great exercise shirt. Seeing as I am a stay-at-home-mom, I wonder what sort of a message I am sending when I wear it?

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Probably a better message than:

"Don't laugh; I thought the same thing until I had kids."

-Trevor

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

I like the one I had saying "Intelligent food for intelligent people" and showing a whale in a hamburger. Alas, it got worn out to the point of unwearability.

Posted by Yozhik (Member # 89) on :

I want a t-shirt reading "Black Market Beagles."

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I used to have a shirt with the slogan "This is your brain", and showed a brain. Then it said "and THIS IS MINE!!!" with a brain about 4x as big. I always wore that shirt when I had tests at school.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

My favorite was an American Red Cross tshirt:

Starve a Mosquito. Donate Blood.

I have a Swiss flag t-shirt that people always mistake for the Red Cross. Dude, in the Red Cross logo, the cross is red.

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

"Help, I've kidnapped myself! Give me $1,000,000 or you'll never see me again!"

"One by one the penguins are causing me to lose my sanity."

"Your village called, their idiot is missing."

And recently a friend of mine wore a t-shirt with the blue screen of death on it.
