The "Cool t-shirt, man" thread.

[The Curmudgeon]

This was originally going to just be about one shirt in particular, one with a happy story attached to it. Well, a few moons ago, a younger Curmudgeon had an awesome, awesome, AWESOME Prince t-shirt with his moody face on the front and the words "The Exodus Has Begun" written on the back. Until it got destroyed by a washing machine. And I never saw another one again until - wooo-HOOO - I found one on the net. Check it out..

As I was unpacking, I came to a pretty scary conclusion; I don't have ANY t-shirts that are just, y'know, t-shirts. Every single thing I wear on a daily basis has some band/comic/movie/game icon on there now. I was going to print pics of some of them, but I can't find a lot and, well, the thread would be huge.

So here's a quick list of the shirts I now wear;

Clockwork Orange, Pac-Man ghosts, Mr T, Mario hitting a ? block with "What's Poppin'?", the Godzilla original movie poster and another one of a black outline of him nuking tanks, Flight of the Conchordes, Hulk SMASH, David Bowie "Alladin Sane", Punisher, Silver Surfer (1st issue comic cover), Venom, Spider-Man fighting Doc Ock (60s artwork), Captain America (ditto), "I Fought the Hoff and the Hoff won" and "Don't Hassle the Hoff" shirts, a Japanese Animal (Muppets) with "Rock and Roll" on it, Muttley laughing and Wile E Coyote "On the Prowl". That's all I can think of. Oh, oh, and an awesome, hand stitched, Italian white linen shirt with classic designs of Batman and Robin on the stomach and back. I only wear that now and then, because I look like the biggest nerd on the fucking planet when I do.

Now, knowing this place and knowing the Dwellers, I just KNOW you guys will love to wear your passions on your sleeves, chest and, well, pretty much everywhere else. So let's hear about, and maybe even see, them.

If I'd married a more understanding woman I'd have the same story. here's some of my faves which you've probably seen in my video reviews.

I have this Might Mighty Bosstones shirt with a giant green devil (with an "Oi!" button on) stomping through the city. I special ordered it years ago and it simply cannot be found anymore. My wife hates it.


This one is falling apart. I'll never wash it again. I sw this picture one day and thought to myself, "somebody has to have put that on a shirt." I will find this shirt and wear it." And I did. Wife hates it.


This one gets more comments then anything I've ever worn. people fucking love this band. And the ones who don't are intensely curious based on the awesome logo and awesomer name. The wife isn't interested.


Got this one a year or so ago in a wonderful music store in San Francisco. My wife held up the shirt and said "do you want it?" and I replied "I can't exactly say no to that, can I?" She must approve, even though she walked out on the tree-rape scene.



This shirt I have once led to a an ex-con fresh out of prison to show me his S.O.D. tattoo and chat me up for about an hour at a concert. I found it in my hometown which is miles beyond amazing. It's got the band's mascot, Sgt. D, on the front chasing fleeing Japanese like Godzilla and the back has the lyric "Sgt D is coming, and you're on his list....." The wife REEEAAAALLLYYY hates it.

Lastly there's my latest find. I got it for free with a preorder of the new Batman game. I've even got a pic of me wearing it.

Do I hear a dial tone? 'Cos the Evil Dead and Johnny Cash shirts are off the hook.
