ATM: T-shirts

Lying Doggo's picture

I need a new T-shirt. Something witty and unusual.
I remember hearing of a website whereby people could submit their own designs and buy shirts designed by others. If anyone knows where that site is or can suggest somewhere else that appeals to a Word-ish sensibility then I'd be very grateful.

If you like we can expand this to a discussion of best and worst t-shirt types:

Best
obscure bands & album covers (that you actually like);
Incomprehensible images (Is that a panda or a carburetor?).
Personally appropriate messages (When I smoked I had one that said 'Lighter Thief')

Worst
"Look at me, I'm drunk";
"drugs are cool" (eg. the pope smokes dope; Adihash);
overexposed t-shirt bands (Motorhead, Ramones etc)
Anything related to Star Wars

T-shirt slogans

Here in the Philippines there are a number of bizarre t-shirt slogans, which often have me staring at a woman's chest in puzzlement rather than appreciation.

The most recent I read, which I still don't get, said, in big letters, BEAT ME UP.

Others include: "Dark thoughts are hard to keep clean", "I am broken beyond repair", "1 savior + 3 nails = 4 given", "Dropped on my head as a child" and "If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong".

I think the website your friend told you about is here:

http://www.cafepress.co.uk/

Recently saw a teeshirt slogan on cafepress or somewhere like that, that made me laugh (but I wouldn't wear it). It just said:

I'd [VERB] her [NOUN]

In a spooky coincidence

I am waiting for the arrival of said "Punk" t shirt

As well as "twisting my melons, man" which I can guarantee is going to perplex everyone around here. Especially when I follow it, verbally with, "ccccallll the cops"
