This is something I've been doing for many years, and they're also a good friend-making tool, too.

I remember when I was 11, I used to (and still do) have a hardcore obsession with Spongebob. So, I wore a Spongebob shirt almost everywhere I went (to school, camp, the store, etc.) and that's how people knew I was a big fan of the show.

We were just talking about this - a bit different here. Bear in mind, when I was a tad of a land symbolic tshirts did mot exist. You wore horizontal stripes.

But: my wife was somewhat surprised that I WILL wear shirts with messages at all [she will NOT!]. I have worn a few - but only if they do not give away too much about me. The secrecy is more important than the message

I would like to own a whole wardrobe full of Tim Burton-related shirts. Right now I only have one, and it's of the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. Based on searches I've done on Amazon, there seem to be a lot of shirts for Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands and Alice in Wonderland, but shirts of his other films are a little more scarce. I'm shocked that there's only one T-shirt of Sweeney Todd, but then again, I guess not many people want to go around advertising a film involving throat-slitting and cannibalism.

I'm wearing one of my 9 Kinks T-shirts, right now. I have nothing to hide, from the world. I don't care, if it's not 1965. If people don't like the way, that I dress, than they don't have to look at me. They can leave their snide remarks, for their teachers. The funny thing, is that I haven't gotten any snide remarks, from the younger NT population, yet. I was picked on more, as an angry, punk rocker. I was less accepted, by the younger NT population, as a punk rocker, than I was, this summer. Yes, I can be a Kinks Fan, in today's world.

I do have a ton of Nintendo, Gaming and Comic T-Shirts. However I dont wear them that much because I feel having designs like that on your T-Shirt draw attention to ones self and when im out and about I like to fly under the radar most of the time.

Just last night I went to pick up some pizza we ordered and I was wearing a "Fist pump'in like champs" T-Shirt and got some laughs and some strange looks lol.

T for me topic

I would like to design at least two dozen large T-shirts emblazened with my various interests and then take the shirts and make a large quilt with them. I just read in my local paper of a woman who did this with her son's old sports T-shirts. :D

Yep, I wanted images of horses on t shirts and anything else I could find. If there was an iron on of a horse at a t shirt kiosk I wanted my mom to buy me a shirt so the woman working there could press it onto the shirt. I would then get my name on the back of it in rainbow letters.
