Hi all!

I want to get a T-shirt embroidered with a cool phrase or saying. Ideally, when I wear this T-shirt in public, it will:

[ul]  
[li]demonstrate my intellectual mastery of all things, and;[/li][li]make attractive women want to sleep with me[/li][/ul]

Here are some I’ve thought of already:  
[ul]  
[li]The experiment requires that you continue[/li][li]Arithmetic trembles[/li][li]“Hunde! Volt ihr ewig leben?”[/li][/ul]

I would welcome any comments or further suggestions…

You honestly think that’s going to get attractive women to sleep with you?

On the front of your tee, left aligned on the chest , in typeface small enough to catch a stanger’s attention, pique their curiosity, and get them to wander nonchalantly over to you to sneak a peek at what it says, have printed:  
Nosy little fucker, aren’t you?

I’m cheating since I saw a guy wearing this T-shirt, but I thought it was cute.  
\*\*I got this shirt for my girlfriend.

Awesome trade.\*\*

I want to have this one made up as a bumper sticker for my bestfriend…

(So, if you had any kind of dog with spots, this would work.)  
I’m so bad assed that even my dog is inked.

Why yes, there _is_ a Dalmatian in the picture. Why do you ask? 😛

There are very few of these I’d be willing to wear in public, but I always laugh at them: [T-Shirt Hell](http://www.tshirthell.com/hell.shtml)

My posse and I have been joking for years about a shirt that says “Endoplasmic Recticulum. I like it rough.” Get one for yourself, but if you try to sell it, we’ll sue. (Kidding. I think.)

I also like “The experiment requires that you continue,” but maybe that’s just because I’m a psychology geek. 🙂

A couple of my favorites:

I just thought of another one:  
_LIVE FATS DIE YO GNU_ (I hope I have remembered that correctly…)

I guess the people that get it will think it’s cool; everyone else will just think I’m a freak.

These goals are, AFAIK, mutually exclusive. Then again, it may have been because I was in the shirt. :rolleyes:
