Something about this t-shirt image forces me to pass it along. I wish I could buy it for myself, but Jessica has imposed a ban on any new t-shirts entering the apartment without an equal number of t-shirts exiting the apartment. Apparently, I have a t-shirt addiction.
Sure, I filled an oversized, can’t-take-it-on-a-plane-without-an-extra-charge suitcase with my collection of t-shirts (only to have a few still left over), but come on — every one of those shirts is chock full o’ cleverness, irony and/or proud statements about my affiliation with one group, team or opinion.
Of course, now that I write it out, it makes me realize I’ve basically become one of those cars plastered with bumper stickers that I love to ridicule.
Maybe I can find a shirt that makes a clever statement about my hypocrisy.

I had a t-shirt addiction. You know what cured it? Going to grad school, no time or money to spend on t-shirts anymore. Or at least ones that I find any good.

@Sean: Ummm… thanks?
@Dave: The thing is, I haven’t bought a new one in years. People keep giving them to me, though.

Hi, I’m Vy, and I’m addicted to t-shirts. (Crowd echoes: “Hi, Vy.”) Being a college student has really impeded my ability to buy all the t-shirts I want, though. I think R. Stevens has made a pretty hefty profit off me. Damn that bastard and his witty designs.
I’m not sure if the t-shirt/bumper sticker analogy works here. I mean, you’re only wearing one shirt at a time, so you wouldn’t look nearly as ridiculous as those cars plastered with bumper stickers (assuming you don’t look ridiculous all the time–t-shirts or no).

As you know from having worked with me, I’m a big T-shirt guy too. Would I be lying if I said we bought a house in part to better accommodate my T-shirt collection? Yes. Yes I would.

@anna - I’m not sure I could deal with sending all of my shirts out for a quilt, but if I knew someone with some quilting-savvy, I’d probably consider it!
