I wonder if I could sell a buttload of t-shirts which parody the regular “Abercrombie & Fitch” shirts but say, instead, “Abercrombie & Felch”? ---

> [@Revenant Threshold](#): > > As a sort of opposite to the one in the OP, one of my friends (who’s asian) has a tshirt saying “I will not love you long time”, which just cracks me up 😛 Does she live in Santa Monica? If so, I think I may have seen her. Cracked me the hell up. 😃 And I know it’s wrong, so very wrong, but with the holidays coming up and all, I kinda want to get the shirt in the OP for an ex of mine… ---

> [@Anastasaeon](#): > > As a D-girl to an A-girl, hold your head high. And keep your back straight, too, because, you know, you _can_ - you should my horrible posture caused by these stupid fat sacks. And forget my old favourite pasttimes from when I was a girl: gymnastics? Skateboarding? Running? I could do them if I was willing to knock myself out cold on a regular basis. Both sides of the fence have it “tough” from men… I’m willing to bet that for every fool that’s overlooked you because of your smaller set, have overlooked me, saying, “More than a mouthful/handful is a waste.” And not one of those men, on either side of the fence, ever saw our brains, or our hearts. They just wanted to get laid. :smack: > > Trade ya? 😃 Amen to that…And I might add, as a C cup girl (but recovering postpartum, breastfeeding mom, now D-E cup :eek: ), that my humungous boobies did nothing at all to help me figure out my computer glitch this morning. My flat chested neighbor came over and solved the problem in 2 seconds flat… Maybe I need the T shirt?? ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Actually, there is one that says, “I’M NOT WITH STUPID ANYMORE.” I have this shirt- I bought it to wear out to lunch with my ex bf 😃 Also, I the shirt referenced in the OP would be HILARIOUS on, oh say, a rocket scientist. \ And, as another D cup girl, D cup isn’t that big. I’ve never found myself saying, “Dear God! I cannot play tennis/under water basket weave/ cure cancer because of my gianormous rack!”. I’ve never thought of getting a breast reduction (my mother, with her J cup boobage who can barely stand up straight needs one) because I’ve found that doing some extra back work outs help any soreness I might get (which is rare). In the grand scheme of things, D cup isn’t that big (for instance, we can still buy bras in regular stores). \ ---

> [@Anastasaeon](#): > > Hey, cool, I sounded off in that thread too (post 35), and I was wishing for tiny titties back then, too. 😛 > > Can’t be helped, really. Was born this way. Got 'em from my Dad, so he says. And I’m not too into the surgery thing, even if it was for a reduction… unless the doctor told me it was seriously affecting my health (and who knows? In the coming years, maybe they will be too much for my spine?) I won’t go under the knife. > > I just keep 'em in their slings and try to make sure the headlights are pointing in the right direction, doing pushup after vain pushup, hoping to make them perky. ~sigh. > > Ah well. My husband likes them. You know, I will never understand this. I have G cup boobs. Yes. I am a 36G. I have a 9 to 9.5" difference between chest and bust. I don’t understand all this bitching from people about their boobs. I know that everyone is different, but cripes. Having a huge chest isn’t some ginormous\* burden. My back doesn’t hurt; I sit properly and don’t slouch. I wear pretty and supportive bras (that take me a lot of effort to find, trust me). I have an Enell sports bra and can run in it. Even if I’m just out and have to run a bit, all I have to do is throw an arm over my chest to hold 'em down. It looks silly, but it works. I’m sorry if I piss anyone off with this, but I hate when an offhand mention about a body part means everyone comes in and discusses how their said body part is the worst possible thing in the world.\*\* - Well, other than in one ginormous sense 😉 \*\* Yes, hyperbole. ---

my friend’s husband got her a shirt that says “Who needs boobs when you have an ass like this?” or something like that, and she got him pants that say “I farted.” Now that’s what I call love. ---

I don’t understand. Are A+F forcing people to wear these shirts? > [@](#): > > You could wear one of these in opposition to it: > > [http://www.aberzombie.com/](http://www.aberzombie.com/) :rolleyes: Aberzombie? I think the “I’m superior because I don’t wear A&F” people are more tiresome and ridiculous than the “I wear expensive trendy clothing” people. ---

A&F seems to have changed a little since the Old Man bought his field gear there before going to North Africa in 1942. Don’t they sell boots and canvas shirts and fishing rods any more? ---

It’s a (semi) free market, females who have such assets may be able to get away w/ certain things that others who don’t have those assets don’t. It’s not fair, but then again life is not fair - and there is not a darn thing you can do about it. ---

I gotta say, as far as breast-related shirts go, I find [this one](http://www.threadless.com/product/333/Nice_boobies) much funnier. ---

As a guy, I can see an upside to stupid girls with large chests outing themselves in this manner. ---

I’m not offended. You can like my boobs. 😉 [sub]I kid, I kid.[/sub] I don’t like mine. I won’t bash anyone with my size or larger, or smaller. I just don’t like mine. They are not pointing in the direction I’d like them to point, they feel heavy and weight me down, I have horrific posture that the doctor attributed to having large breasts, but I’m not saying it’s everyone’s reason. Maybe it’s my spine that’s shite, not my boobs? 😃 One of my old co-workers is a lady with a set of Gs. She has a helluva time finding bras, too. However, she loves hers and is proud of them. She’s also very short… I am pretty tall - I wonder if that’s a factor? Just speculation, I’m pulling it out of my ass, admittedly. I apologise if my dislike of my own bodyparts upsets you (that sounds sarcastic, but it’s not meant to be). I just wanted our A cup friend to know that there’s a downside to everything, and she’s not alone - small boobs are just as wonderful as big boobs. And I’ve said boobs so much it’s starting to sound as funny as it did when I was five years old. Boobs boobs boobs! 😃 ---

Years ago I went to the Dirty Underwear Store in Georgetown, very expensive, but the staff was fun. They had slave collars with the words ‘Bitch’ and ‘Slut’ spelled out in studs. You know, it would be almost worth buying them, and a pair of dogs to wear them. The salesgirls thought it would be a good idea. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > How about a Jockstrap with the same thing on it? 😃 I laughed heartily at this sentiment, which earned a dirty look from Oscar the cat, and Mr. Clawbane. The kitten has been a bit under the weather lately, so “the” vet visit had been postponed. He’s gotten a little aggressive and we can tell that spraying is imminent. He’s not sure what they are for still, but he’s got the angsty teen behaviors. Time for a vet visit. ---

Unless you’re one of those wispy types, being tall is probably going to mean you have a large frame, and that your breasts aren’t going to, er, “stand out” as much as a petite woman who wears a D cup. You might want to look into being resized at a high quality lingerie store. Most women don’t wear the right size bra. Until I was sized about a year ago, I wore an ill-fitting B-cup. ---
