The Traveller’s Tee

For decades the tee shirt has told people where we’ve been. Concerts. Vacation spots. Historical events. They have proven a powerful advertiser and marketing tool. Hell, tee shirts have even chronicled the places we haven’t been (MY PARENTS VISITED THE SAN DIEGO ZOO AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY TEE SHIRT).
Wait. Is this really a post about tee shirts? On Tee Shirt Soup? Holy shit.
It has always been the original and eventual intention of this site to bring to you the finest and most original tee shirts I could provide. Little did I know that I would one day present to the world the ultimate tee shirt — the one tee shirt to replace hundreds. No longer will you have to get a tee shirt that says “ONLY SAILORS GET BLOWN OFF SHORE. CAPE MAY, NJ” or “I SWIZZLED MY MOPED IN BERMUDA” to brag where you’ve been.
My shirt (Can you tell how proud I am of it?), which will most likely retail for about $69.99, depicts a map of the entire world, and comes with 100 push pins and a vial of rubbing alcohol so you can show your friends where you’ve been. Everywhere you’ve been. No more waiting in line in cheesy tee shirt shops; just stick a pin in your abdomen, and everyone will know you’ve been to the Outer Banks. I have single-handedly innovated customization, and have literally put the power in your hands.
You can even lie about where you’ve travelled, who’s gonna stop you? In the old days, you actually had to go someplace to get a shirt from there. Then came the internet, and you could order a shirt from the comfort of your masturbating chair. My shirt requires neither a boarding pass nor WiFi, although I do recommend a shot of Cuervo Gold before you update it.
Do you suffer from a bit of the ol’ Wanderlust? Don’t worry, you will also be able to purchase more pins separately.
You’re probably wondering why I am sharing my vision with you now, before I have the shirts printed up. The reason is twofold. First, to whom much is given, much is expected. I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to the world on this one. And secondly, if I can save you from buying a tee while in Branson, Missouri in the hopes that you’ll put that money aside until my shirt hits the market, then that’s not such a bad thing either.
I was recenlty at a Saint Patrick’s Day Parade and saw the worst one of all….It said”Kiss me, I’m in a union”
It almost made me puke. I wish unions would do what they do best…turn large, profitable companies into rivers of red ink making crappy products.
I read a few topics. I respect your work and added blog to favorites.
I harmonise with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your next updates. Just saying thanks will not just be enough, for the exceptional clarity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Solid work and much success in your business endeavors!
Valuable information and excellent design you got here! I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and time into the stuff you post!! Thumbs up
great post as usual!
Interesting article, thank you. Could you tell me about the second paragraph in more detail?
I added your blog to bookmarks. And i’ll read your articles more often! Before this, it would be possible for the government to arrest you just based on whatever you were saying, if they didn’t like it.
I found your site from wikipedia and read a few of your other blog posts.They are cool. Pls continue this great work. Later on other fantastic American rock acts such as Lynrd Skynrd, The Eagles, America, the Allman Brothers, and the Doobie Brothers would come on the scene and shake up the world with their string of hit songs.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
The only place you’ll find success before work is in the dictionary
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
