My next idea for a T-shirt is to have “NO THANKS” printed in the middle of the chest. It’ll have a smiley face on the back. That way, I don’t even have to open my mouth to decline unwanted assistance. I can just point to my chest and smile. 🙂

I’ve been looking for good epilepsy shirts, but they’re mostly lame. The best I found is one that says Be Brave Brain. I like the message, but I was sort of hoping for something irreverent. People take themselves way too fucking seriously.

I did see one that said ‘‘PICKED LAST FOR TEAM DEPRESSION’’ (for a 5k benefit) which cracked my ass up.

[This here](http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=76839885) is the best t shirt. It’s especially awesome to wear because I had bilateral mastectomy without reconstruction and don’t wear foobs.

I’ve seen[this one](http://images.tshirts-cases-stickers.com/images/80/2_image.16235744.3180.u1.jpg)a couple of times, it’s made to look blurry.

I’ve had a bunch of Iron Maiden and Grateful Dead shirts. T[his was one of my favorites](http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server2800/677b8/products/26219/images/98042/11529f__13995.1389218374.686.800.jpg?c=2), reminded me of Death from Terry Pratchett’s Reaper Man.

We have many many shirts from shirt.woot. My daughter pretty much only wears shirt.woot cat shirts (like [this one](http://shirt.woot.com/offers/i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing?ref=cnt_ctlg_dgn_35)).

I think my favorite is this one I bought for my husband:  
[Reflections on Pi](http://shirt.woot.com/offers/reflections-on-pi)

I get a lot of compliments on this one:  
[Travel by Catbus](http://shirt.woot.com/offers/travel-by-cat-bus)

This is my son’s favorite right now:  
[The Chicken Olympics Are Brutal](http://shirt.woot.com/offers/the-chicken-olympics-are-brutal?ref=cnt_ctlg_dgn_0)
