Best. T-Shirt. Ever.

Zany amazon reviews=WIN.

My favorite t-shirt, though, said Save a tree. Wipe your ass with an owl.
 
Unfortuntely one of the one-star refers informs us that this is not a suitable t-shirt for Trekkers to buy

While preparing for last year's Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, it struck me that i had torn my uniform during bat'leth practice and had not yet requisitioned a replacement. Since i was shopping for Conversational Klingon (Audiofy Digital Audiobook Chips anyway, i decided to give Amazon.com a try. I was pleased to find this listing and ordered a XXXL.

Imagine my surprise and dismay when i unpacked the box in my room at the Las Vegas Hilton. Instead of the expected "Three Worf Moon t-shirt", i had... this. This is not even close to Federation or Empire standards. But, at the time, it was the only clean shirt i had, my other shirt having fallen victim to an especially sloppy drive thru meal at the nearby Taco Bell. So i put it on, and had an immediate craving for a Budweiser.

I looked in the phone book to find the nearest comic book store, praying that they would have an acceptable substitute uniform to wear to the con. As soon as i parked the ol' Ford Festiva, throngs of women started migrating toward me from the parking lot of the Wal*mart next door. Having never spoken to a woman before, i was very nervous, but managed to explain to them that i needed to buy a new uniform because Klingons had messed up my other one. For some reason, they looked at me funny after i said that, but one of them said that my pants looked fine. (?) I explained that my problem was more with the shirt. The same woman said she really liked the shirt. Then she asked me if i wanted to see the new trailer. I told her that i seen a sneak preview of the trailer, and i thought it looked like a cheap rip-off of the original. (I saw the movie on May 7th, and i stand by my original assessment. ONLY SHATNER can play Kirk!!!!1)

At this point, the chattering women went quiet, and the one who had been speaking to me started slapping me silly! And another one of them threw an empty beer can at my head before starting back to the Wal*Mart parking lot to find someone named "Cletus". Well, it doesn't take a Starfleet Academy graduate to know when to get the heck out of Dodge. I hopped back into the Festiva and high-tailed it back to the hotel. I wore this T-shirt ot the convention, and everyone laughed at me. Have you ever been laughed at by a whole bunch of Trekkers? It hurts, man.

Wow. Mocking the shirt, Trekkies and the white-trash Walmart crowd all in one product review. That's an internet trifecta of WIN.

The Tuscan Whole Milk 1 gal 128 fl oz in particular inspired some great poetry, from an Amazon patron called Edgar who I have decided I am in love with (can't resist the soul of a poet, especially one channeling Poe over a gallon of milk):

QFT :rommie:


My favorite T-shirt is the one that simply says "i eat glue" emblazoned in white across the chest. It has been the one shirt that completely sums up my absurd personality in one bold stroke.

(I also have another one that ranks as my second favorite. It has a picture of Smurfette on it... looking sheepishly coax... and underneath it says in big pink letters "Bitch". I used to wear it when I went clubbing. :devil:)
 
My favorite was that old one "The Last Great Act of Defiance" with the mouse giving the eagle 'the bird'. Had it until the seams gave out.
 
Oh, you mean this one?

Two or three weeks ago I proudly wore my "Frak Earth" T-shirt when TV aired Yann Arthus-Bertrand's Home...
Yes, I'm that awesome!
:D
 
I saw a guy on the subway here in Taiwan with a shirt that said, "EVERLASTING COCKSUCKER"
Not a great T-shirt to have...but a great one to see!
 
I got a couple of those The Far Side shirts they made and sold about 15 years ago. I got:

"Why do I always have to sit next to some weirdo?"
and
The kid pushing on a door that says "Pull" for the school of gifted.

I'm too skinny now to wear them, though :-(
