> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by JBirdman12 \* > \*\*I had one that was a parody of a fraternity logo that read “I Phelta Thi” (I felt a thigh–some people needed it explained. A shocking number actually expressed surprise on seeing it–“I didn’t know you were in a frat.”) \*\* reminds me, I used to wear a button that said “Nuke a Gay Whale for Christ”. People either laughed or said “I don’t get it”. It became a quick way of identifying folks to spend time getting to know. ---

I’ve never been to one (and don’t plan on going) and don’t know anyone that’s gone, but by the name you can kinda figure out what happens there. :eek: ---

I have one that has the word “Jesus” in the shape of the Pepsi logo, with “The Only Choice” written like a tag line under it. It’s actually supposed to be a pro-Christian religious t-shirt, but I can’t imagine how a Christian wouldn’t be offended since it’s so stupid. I’ve never actually worn it. I also have The Onion’s “You Are Dumb” t-shirt, which always prompts people to inexplicably say, “Oh, are you dumb?” No, ya moron, YOU are dumb. And then I have “Rehab is for quitters” which I think is funny on so many levels, but one time this lady yelled at me on the street- -“What’s that supposed to mean?!?!?” “Just a joke, ma’am,” but haven’t worn it since. ---

I have a shirt for a punk band called the Queers, but I don’t wear it out because I don’t want to deal with the funny looks and the questions. A guy in my high school had a T-shirt with a small picture of a rabbit on the front. If you got close you could see that printed in tiny letters under the picture was ‘A little hare on my chest’. ---

I bought a T-shirt on Spring Break once… A picture of a mouse with a huge penis, taller than he was, he had to hold it with both hands and underneath he was saying “Here Kitty Kitty” Not exactly the same, but it disappeared shortly after I took my laundry home to my mom. ---

And the rehab one too. I wish i had cool t shirts. Mine are all so drab in contrast. I’ve got to run out and find some offensive, contraversial, and just plain amusing t’s. ---

Since I still live with my mom, I don’t have much in the way of offensive or controversial t-shirts. The closest I come in my t-shirt collection is the innuendo. I have on that says “Cowboys do it better” and one with a cartoon of a little girl on it that says “Oops, I said the F-word”. Also, a shirt for race car driver Buckshot Jones that inexplicably says “Balls to the wall”. Very tame. However, I’ve got a list of stuff from the quotes list I keep of my friends and I, and some of it is going to make its way onto T-shirts soon. Like “Sometimes I wish I were dead. No wait, not me… YOU.” For a guy’s shirt: “Happy Penis – Happy Me!” (I think the picture would be of a rolled-up condom with a smiley face drawn on it.) I once designed a parody of a Garth Brooks shirt that said “If tomorrow never comes, then, well, you’re dead.” I’ve always wanted a “Save a horse – Ride a cowboy” shirt. It just occured to me, my “Oops, I said the F-word” shirt is part of a series (other ones have the girl dressed Goth and say “Oops, I went punk” and stuff like that). I think one of the shirts in that series should show the girl dressed like the devil and should say “Oops, I got horny” ---

I actually MADE a T-shirt in my high school art class. We were doing silk screening, and I lettered and drew it myself. It was just a simple line drawing of Beethoven with the words “I Like Ludwig” on it. It was one of my favorite shirts for years. Unfortunately, a lot of kids at school had no idea whose picture was on the shirt (morons!), but people who got it really thought it was a good shirt and they were impressed that I’d made it myself. ---

1. One of my buddies in High School had the Adolf Hitler World Tour shirt…he used to get harrased all the time about it. 2. I have one that the front says BLOW ME, the back says THEN LEAVE 3. Cradle of Filth has some excellent offensive T-shirts. I have two. The first one has a naked women on the back with a dildo that says Psychopatica Sexualis…Dead Girls Don’t Say No (somehow people find cracking open a cold one offensive) The other one has a women on an upside down cross with her legs tied to the arms of the cross it says Desire Me Like Satan…but the kicker and the one even I won’t wear has a nun masterbating on the front and on the back it says Jesus is a Cunt. (somehow I could see myself getting killed wearing this in the Bible Belt) ---

Bottle of whiskey on the front and a deck of cards and stack of chips on the back. Liquor in front, poker in rear. Hardeharhar. ---

One of my favorite shirts has a stick figure dog mugging another one. The caption is “good dog. bad dog.” I nearly got a detention for that one. Teacher said I was advocating school violence. Gimme a break… ---

I knew a guy in high school who used to occasionally wear a sweatshirt with the caption “Give me Rossignol or give me Head” over a picture of crossed snow skis. On a related note, I once heard that the Monkees’ movie _Head_ was so named so that the producers could then refer to themselves as “The People Who Gave You _Head_”. ---

Dijon: in terms of intelligence? Quite a lot. Attractiveness? Um… best not to dredge up those memories. One tshirt that I see on campus that makes me mad is the “boot and rally” shirt. Boot- to vomit. Rally- to keep on drinking after doing so. It’s a slogan in the frats. Sigh. I love my temperance union. ---

My roommate has what appears to be a custom made Tshirt (iron on letters on a simple white shirt) that simply says “I am Jesus”. He wears it around campus every once in a while to freak out the squares. ---

Two motorcycle T-shirts: I’d rather eat pig shit than ride Jap crap (on the back) If you can read this, the bitch fell off. I also had a shirt that looked like it was a phrase in Hebrew. Turn the shirt upside down, however, and it said “Go Fuck Yourself.” I loved that shirt… ---

I have a funny but not offensive shirt from the Ben + Jerry’s factory in Vermont that’s tie-dyed and on the front it says, Cherry Garcia - What A Long Strange Dip It’s Been. (On the back it’s just the Ben and Jerry logo) sigh…I love that shirt… but unfortunately almost none of my friends get it. actually-come to think of it…it could be taken as vaguely offensive in a kind of twisted logic way…like whenever i wear it my mom says “oh good you’re wearing that shirt with the drug reference”. she never liked the dead… The other day my friend wore a shirt from France that said, Fuck art, let’s rock and roll. But somehow none of the teachers noticed it. hm. ---

We bought a t-shirt for a friend’s birthday one year, a good smart a\*\* friend. The shirt read, “Your proctologist called, he found your head”. He loved it and I did too.
