Has anyone noticed that there is a serious lack of good t-shirt sites on the web? I’m looking for a simple Gadsden flag t-shirt. Just a yellow shirt with the coiled snake that says “Don’t tread on me” and all I can come up with is [crap like this](http://www.affordadornments.com/18121.html). And this isn’t the first time I haven’t been able to find a shirt that seems like it would be easy to find. I never did find my [Ruthless Records](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=79009) t-shirt. What’s the deal with this? Something should be done, I want a DTOM shirt damnit! ---

I’ve got [some T-shirts for sale,](http://www.digiserve.com/eescape/shirts/Store.phtml) but no treading snakes. On a related sidebar, am I the only one who thinks that a lot of the post-terrorist-attack T-shirts are just ugly? Not in an “I can’t bear to look at this” sort of way, but just a general “Ew, it’s a velvet Elvis” tacky kitsch style…? ---

I came up with an (IMO) idea for a sort of “memorial” t-shirt for the bombings of September 11. It’s a simple enough design if you know the languages, simply the caption “September 11, 2001 - We will never forget” Written in English, Arabic, and Farsi (with the date translated to the corresponding date in the Islamic calendar). If anyone wants to print some up, I’d be willing to buy one. Hell, I’d do it myself if I knew Arabic and Farsi. ---

I have a t-shirt that says “Orgasm Donor” but that doesnt seem to be what your after. ---

Troubled by a lack of good T-shirt designs? Do what _I_ did: Create/scan your own artwork, go to CafePress (a search should have no prob finding it; I’m not sure whether I can post a semi-advertising link here), upload the artwork, and they’ll make the shirt for you and send it to you! ---

I am currently wearing my Suck My Dick t-shirt. It’s cheering me up immeasurably, I can tell you. Of course, I’m puerile, so what do I know? [aside]Maeglin, you EgoSearching bastard, if you’re wondering, the red wine stain came right out, too. I just realized I’d forgotten to tell you.[/aside] ---

I just got a really cool t-shirt! 😃 Check it out: [http://fff.fathom.org/pages/MagicalSilverKey/cap\_002.jpg](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/MagicalSilverKey/cap_002.jpg) The pic doesn’t compare to viewing the graphic personally and up close, though. ---

I have to thank my friend **MLC** for this t-shirt: **I’m only wearing black until they make something darker** **Cisco** , the best Gadsden shirt I was able to find was here: [http://www.americastore.com/gadsdentshirt.html](http://www.americastore.com/gadsdentshirt.html) Hope that helps. -Stil ---

(In fact, he wore it yesterday.) It totally cracked me up. I’m rather fond of the “Unathletic Dept.” sweatshirt. ---

I saw Everclear last night and Craig Montoya was wearing a shirt that said “I’m In A Band–Show Me Your Boobs!” ---

I love that place. The employees are always so sweet and helpful (100% serious)! ---

You can buy iron-in transfer paper for your ink-jet printer at hobby stores. Note that the paper is transparent, so you should plan on using this with very light colored t-shirts only. ---
