That who’s got a straightdope t-shirt thread got me thinking about my favorite shirt. I have two actually, One is black with Einstein’s picture on it and he’s sticking out his tongue. My teacher in 7th grade told me that was the last picture ever taken of him. Dunno if it’s true or not. The other shirt is blue with a strand of DNA on it. So spill, which are your favorite shirts? 
When are you going to realize being normal isn’t necessarily a good thing?
Mmmm. First two belong to friends, last to my partner:
One of the American Seal, headphones on the eagle, motto: In God we trust. Everyone else we monitor. (Supposed to be from the CIA).
One of a round brown smudge, with horizontal smudges of (in order)dark brown, blue, black and red, captioned “I ran into Tammy-Fay Bakker”. OK, some of you may be too young to remember, but surely you’ve read Bloom County?
A black one with ‘Eternity’ in Arthur Stace’s copperplate (as seen on the Sydney Harbour Bridge New Year’s Eve). (The script, not the Tshirt).
LOL I like the second AKAmame. I remember her and how she could put Mimi to shame with all the damn makeup she wore.

My trusty, ol’ reliable “Beer, It’s Not Just For Breakfast Anymore” T-shirt. Wife hates it with a passion. My kids think it’s a riot. This is probably one reason she is no longer amused with it.
…send lawyers, guns, and money…
Warren ZevonMy husband has a cool one that my dad got him for Christmas a few years back. In big, black letters it says “YOU DON’T KNOW ME,” and underneath that it says “Federal Witness Protection Program.”
I saw a picture recently of a guy wearing by far the coolest T-shirt in the history of T-shirts. Black, nothing on the front. The back, though, said “I am a bomb technician. If you see me running, try to keep up.”
Changing my sig, because Wally said to, and I really like Wally, and I’ll do anything he says, anytime he says to.
I have two…one of them is still in Canada and I am holding fizzy bath balls hostage til I get it sent back to me… It is grey with a picture of an obviously grumpy Mickey Mouse and says, “Don’t mess with the Mouse!”
The other I got when I bought my PC emulator for my Mac. It is white with a picture of a Mac monitor complete with Logo, the Windows95 picture on the screen, and a statement that says,“Sometimes faking it IS a good thing!”
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
That is so cool. You don’t happen to have the originial whatchamacallits anymore? The negatives that you give to printers I mean. I want one of those shirts.
My favourite T-shirt was my Calvin & Hobbes “Life is short, play naked” shirt.
Mine is one that says, " I Went Down on the Hooker". It’s a play on words, the Hooker being the Hilma Hooker which is a sunken ship off the coast of Bonaire. There is a picture of the ship on the shirt.
I like to wear my tee shirt when my wife and I go to the mall - mostly because it slightly annoys her.

I have a few shirts that I am proud of.
One is for the band Lucy Brown, who were good friends of mine. The front of the shirt proudly states, “Fuck PC, Think!”
But my favorite is a tour shirt for the band Extreme Noise Terror, a UK-based early grindcore-influencing punk act.
The back of the shirt is their one (and probably only) US tour. It’s a tour that I booked, and having a tour that I booked on the back of a tee-shirt is really cool! 
Yer pal,

My favorite is about 10 years old, and I’m afraid is starting to show its age. It is white with a green and black computer graphic that looks like it was done in Paintbrush - a cat sort of creature eyeing a peice of cheese on a wacky background. On the back it has curly lettering that says “The Need For Greed”. It was made by a local print shop called Moinx and Co, which I recently and with much joy discovered is still in business.
Oh, I forgot, I also love my They Might Be Giants tee from their latest tour. It’s still new, though, so I forget I have it.

My favorite (although it’s too small, and that’s death for tee-shirts) is one my youngest son had made for me when he went into the Army.
It’s white, with an air brush painting of Dwight Yoakam.
It’s nice when your kids remember what kind of music you like. 'course, how can they forget, when you wake them up at 2 a.m. with the CD player blaring “Night wolves mooooooan”.
I used to have a great one with the photo of Elvis shaking hands with Nixon; in bold red letters above the pic it said: CULTURE. My mom even liked that one!
I always liked my t-shirt from Weird Al’s “Stupid” tour, that looked like the front was all ripped up and he was standing behind it in his “Like a Surgeon” garb holding a chainsaw. Don’t think I still have it though, it had long since gone past the point where it could be re-washed without disintegrating.
“I get the meat and the cheese, but why the bun?”
“Yeah, a bun is neither meat nor cheese.”
“Word!”
The wet one, of course.

—A t-shirt from the first convention Mr. Rilch and I attended.
—A t-shirt supporting my friend’s band (which has since broken up).
—Lucy yelling “You blockhead!”
—The Jack Daniels label (bought in Lynchburg, TN, so it has a slogan on the back that you can’t get anywhere else).
—The Heinz ketchup label.
—Patsy from AbFab swigging vodka.
—A quote from Frederick Douglass.
—A quote from Thoreau.
—Two shirts that Mr. Rilch had custom made for me: panels from “Jim’s Journal”. More on this later.

My Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy shirt I bought back in 1991. It’s has the traditional green dude with “Don’t Panic!” on it.
A 10,000 Maniacs concert shirt from 1993, just before Natalie Merchant left. It’s made of some “natural, unbleached” hippie cotton in an odd green-gray color. I think it has about 5 washes left in it before it goes back to the Earth from whence it came. Therefore, I just try not to wash it much

I’ve been WAITING for someone to start this thread. Didn’t do it myself because I’m vaguely embarrassed that I still include t-shirts in my everyday wear at the age of 39. I oughta grow up, already.
I usually wear t-shirts that advertise independent bookshops and record stores in other towns. (This is a corollary of the College T-Shirt Rule…never wear a shirt emblazoned with the campus you happen to be on. UCLA at Princeton is cool, Bennington at Stanford is cool, etc.)
Current faves are City Lights Books of San Francisco, Third Street Jazz & Rock of Philadelphia, and he Jazz Record Mart of Chicago.
I also occasionally wear those t-shirts with portraits of jazz musicians on them…right now I have Eric Dolphy, Zoot Sims, and Jack Teagarden in my drawer. The important thing to remember in this area is NEVER to wear a picture of someone who would like to kill you because you are white…whenever I see a white guy wearing Miles Davis I picture Miles showing up and ripping the thing off his back.
