Cricket.  
August 2015, Fourth Test of the Ashes series between England and Australia.  
Australia were sent in to bat and collapsed in an apocalyptic 93 minutes in 18.3 overs for just 60 runs in losing all 10 wickets. Every junior and park cricket team in the country had a benchmark low to judge their own incompetence.

The T-shirt is shows the complete batting scorecard, every ball bowled, every wicket and run.  
And it fits in a tweet.

The Poms dished the sledging about it incessantly, until March this year when New Zealand squished them for a equally mortifying 58 all out.

I am in fact a t-shirt designer, but sadly do not own the rights to Adam West, Batman, Sir Robin or the Holy hand grenade which is kind of a deal breaker on this ☹

It doesn’t feature a funny quip, but I thought it was a cool-looking Celtic pattern so I had it silkscreened on to a black tee shirt back in college.

Unfortunately, the shirt no longer fits, but I’ve been thinking about getting a new and different Celtic pattern tee shirt made.

It shows just the top half of the Irish Yoga t-shirt because that’s all that needs to be seen - that’s the only design on the shirt.  
You can also drag your mouse over it to enlarge.

I just tried again, and I see no T-shirt there at all, in whole or in part.

I recently purchased [this](https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/93078/most-excellent) and [this](https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/1726542-slack-wyrm-143-battle-of-the-sexes?store_id=123744). The first one a little old lady at the grocery store recognized the reference, which made my day.

I’m going to get [this one](https://www.snorgtees.com/thunderbolt-and-lightning) for my youngest son (11) for Christmas and [this one](https://shirt.woot.com/offers/furrdie-mercury) for my oldest (13). They’re both Queen fans and I suspect they’ll love 'em.

Not long after the 2016 election, I saw a woman wearing a t-shirt with a picture of a dog on it, and it was captioned “Alternative fact: I didn’t sleep on your bed.”

Weird - just clicked on the link again and worked for me. Not sure how the same link wouldn’t work on different computers. Strange.
