My boyfriend got me a T-shirt that says **talk nerdy to me**. I just love it, and it gets me lots of attention. Not sure how much of that attention is because the lettering is over my boobs… but it’s all good. ---

I’ve wanted to get a shirt written in Chinese that, translated, says something to the effect “Another dumb American got a T-Shirt he can’t read.” Would only be funny to someone who could read Chinese, though. ---

This is not really on topic, but I wanted to mention the polo shirts my boss had made for us a year or so ago. He had to give our periodic Security Talk, and he want to remind us we were all potential targets. So he went with a red 30cm target on the back, a smaller one on the breast. They are a big hit. (Although I never wear mine off the compound.) We expats are weird. Way weird. ---

The best I’ve seen recently was a black T-shirt with the flag of the United Kingdom on the front. Underneath the flag, in blod letters, it reads GREECE. ---

My wife wears one that says, “I [heart] Skinny Boys with Glasses.” Which, not coincidentally, describes her husband pretty well. ---

[U.S. Out of Pangea!](https://www.cafepress.com/sickslug_22) yes, I am pimping my store. But dammit, when I wear this T-shirt in public, it demonstrates my intellectual mastery of all things, and makes attractive women want to sleep with me. If you want to pick up a hot doper chick, try [this](http://www.cafepress.com/sickslug_12) one. ---

A while ago, there was a thread that included pictures of dopers for some reason, and one was pictured wearing a red shirt with white lettering on it that said “Global domination goes better with a Coca-Cola” The Coca-Cola was in the traditional script. I have wanted that shirt ever since I saw it (It would go well with my Nike hat embroidered with “Capitalist Oppression”). You should make one of those. Well, two, and send me one. ---

I want to point out that women who will sleep with you because of what your t-shirt says are not worth sleeping with. However, a clever t-shirt can be an icebreaker. Just don’t expect it to work miracles. You’ve got to have a personality. Or lots and lots of money. ---

I have a cafepress store with a few shirst. One of them had a silhouette of a zombie with a red circle and line through it near where the breast pocket would go, if it had one. Underneath that, it says “God I hate zombies.” The back has a picture of people shooting at a zombie, and says “Anti-Zombie Patrol…Taking them out, one at a time.” I also hve one that is a picture of the 8-bit sprite of Link from the first Legne of Zelda. Underneath it says “8-bit Hero.” I also have one that is a plain white t-shirt and in a handwriting-esque font, says “I Hate Bottles.” I’ve sold more of those than any other, despite the fact that it’s the most obscure. ---
