I have just expanded my T-shirt collection again.
There are some that I love.
The 'This T-shirt is 100% Organic- 65% Baby Seal, 25% Panda and 10% Manatee' for example.
Or the 'name tag' T-shirt that says 'Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, You killed my father. Prepare to die.'
Do you have any favourites to tempt me to enlarge my collection?

I want that T-shirt. Every time I come across it on t'internet I think that. If I ever go to an event that has those little 'Hello, my name is...' stickers, that's what's going on it!

On a tacky tourist stall on Oxford street I found T shirts with acrylic printed animals faces. One hippo, for my Flanders and Swann singing parter in crime, and one cat's face for me. Large as a breastplate.

A guy in our church always has bizarre t-shirts - my favourite is this one:
Spoilt!
I think I'd lose my fluffy bunny status if I wore this one:

One I spotted at Cropredy that almost made me spit my beer.
Also spotted at Cropredy, and one that I think Honest Ron Bacardi might like.

I like just about anything from ThinkGeek. The Spanish Inquisition would be a good one for our community.
I'm fond of the WiFi detector myself.

I liked the Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock one on the same site as the Spanish Inquisition.
I'm very happy to have recently acquired a Woodforde's Wherry T-shirt. Love the beer, love the boat.

My favorite shirts are from a local designer, the girl and rhino. They specialize in combining very nicely drawn animals with hilarious observations and one-liners.
I have one with a hummingbird thinking "things will be different when I learn to breathe fire", and another with an angry fish demanding his bicycle back.

"I used up all my sick leave so I called in dead."
Another has a rather dejected-looking Sylvester the cat with the words "Rebel without claws".
My husband was given a black T-shirt with the Camel cigarettes logo. Above the logo is "9 out of 10 men who've tried Camels..." then after the logo: "...prefer women".

another shows the descent into office drudgers and eventual ape-like posture over a computer all day.

20 years ago, a school mate of mine printed a whole run of t shirts with a cartoon of Jack standing next to the beanstalk and a caption that read something like: "Climb it? Don't be daft - I'm gonna smoke it!"
I didn't buy one because I thought my parents would go ballistic, but I've never seen one since, and I'd really like one...

And I shot a man in Tesco, just to watch him die.

From our T-shirt collection:
From a fishery in northern Michigan: "It's Not Me -- It's the Fish."
Another up-north touristy T-shirt from Beulah, Michigan: "A quaint drinking village with a fishing problem."
From the band Lost and Found, which has a following in Lutheran youth circles and which visited our church last year: A stylized photo of a chalice and loaf of bread, bearing the message, "'Sup?"
What I wore to the Michigan game last weekend: "There's No Crying in Football."

Engrish has some good ones. These are all from real signs/products/labels with mangled english, usually from Japan or China.
I've had my eye on the don't look the monkey in the eyes one. I'm partial to monkey shirts. Time of Growth is good too.
I already have the hot space station justice and the calm down monkey shirt.

About eighteen months ago I started to get a lot of respect from the teenagers at my karate club. They listened to me as if I were Funakoshi himself and always asked me to demonstrate techniques politely and attentively. About a week after this started to happen my sister rang me and said "I have just seen your face on a t-shirt, what on earth is going on?". I didn't have a clue until she sent me one of these t-shirts which has now become my favourite shirt.
Still not seen the film though...

Oh, yeah! I think ones with a big, positive word, that look like typical motivational posters until you look closely are especially good for office decor.

My favourite T-shirt is from El Salvador. It was from a factory that was owned by a big multinational. One day, the company decided to move to China, because wages are even cheaper there. From one day to the other, tens of thousands of workers were without a job.
The workers decided to raise the money between themselves to continue fabricating T-shirts by themselves. The T-shirt that I have, has a text about "Resistencia Popular".
