> [@TV time](#): > > It’s $95!! You can get the use of a real one cheaper than that! Yes, but I’ve heard that having one is like having you’re own ATM machine. I want a T-Shirt that says, “You have annoyed the crazy person.” ---

_bookmarks site_ I want black UFO pants! $52 though?! Humbug, goes on the wishlist. Damn you people and your linking to the cool clothes… _mumble_ I’ve wanted the “talk nerdy” to me shirt on t-shirt Hell for a long time. A friend I used to work with kept saying he was going to get it for me because of the way I would get excited discussing long-dead scientists and computer hardware. ---

I’d wear that. I wore a shirt that had [this (possibly NSFW)](http://zlosyn.wz.cz/img/fotkos/perko.jpg) on it. ---

> [@Cisco](#): > > I had a one-night stand with a girl wearing that shirt. 'Bout a year and a half ago. You were wearing the shirt or she was? I spray painted FUCK OFF on a t shirt back in my punker days and used to wear it to class at my small private Methodist college. I got absolutely no reaction so I quit wearing it. Damn non-uptight Methodists. Somewhere I have an Onion shirt that says “You are dumb” that I wear to play poker every so often. I always wanted the one that said “People who wear glasses are ugly nerds” so I could wear it with my glasses but since the LASIK it just doesn’t seem as funny. ---

In NYC, you regularly see people wearing a fave of mine - a t-shirt that says **Fuck You, You Fucking Fuck** ---

You do know that most t-shirt places can make any message you want on a per-letter cost basis? I had two done that way. One read “CAUTION: STARVING DIETER may bite if provoked”. The other said “BAD ATTITUDE”. The clerk at a convenience store liked that one so much he gave me a sack of groceries for it. ---

Not that I’d have ever worn it in public, but one of my favorite wedding gifts was an apron, with pockets for (and furnished with) housecleaning implements like sponge (in plastic-lined pocket), paintbrush, putty knife, toothbrush, steel wool. On the front of it was embroidered, and embroidered very nicely, and in big letters, FUCK HOUSEWORK Very useful. ---

That kind of reminds me of the gift I’m going to get **supervenusfreak** when that big day comes (and we can live in our home state to do it). “Fuck Barbra Streisand!!” (My baby loves him some Joan Cusack…) ---

[THis](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15687&item=3954561843&rd=1) is the favorite T\_shirt of a friend’s husband. She keeps trying to hide it and it _always_ winds up on the top of the T-shirt stack… ---

You know the “Native Texan” shirts that they advertise in Texas Monthly magazine?, I want a shirt just like that but with “Naive Texan” written on it. Unclviny ---

> [@Silver Fire](#): > > I still really want a t-shirt for my son that says “They Shake Me” on it, as seen over at tshirthell. I’ve wanted it for months and months, even though I’ve gotten plenty of eye rolling and loads of, “I’m so OFFENDED!” type comments because of it. It’s a t-shirt, folks! I wanted one when our kids were toddlers that said “Raised by Wolves,” but my husband wouldn’t go for it. I think the 5-year-old is about ready for one in a slightly larger size.
