“You often find this shirt for under $5 at thrift stores here in Atlanta because the National Museum of Patriotism is here. I haven’t met anyone who knows what that slogan means.”
SARAH DALTON, Atlanta, GA |
|
 |
“ This is manufactured by the association JPFO, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. It’s from a clearance sale at a charity shop in Stockholm. The people that ran it used to do road trips to the states every summer.”
ELIN UNNES, Stockholm, SE |
|
 |
“I scored this vision of divine feline fashion in an L.A. thrift shop. It was a gift to a Monday-HATING (she finds them absolutely ODIOUS), lasagna-LOVING gal pal.”
BENJAMIN CHO, New York, NY |
|
|
|
“ My gay friend Pablo brought this back from Brazil for me.”
KIM MUND, Minneapolis, MN |
|
|
|
“ This cost me $2. I think it’s for homophobes who work out.”
COLIN SACCO, Jersey City, NJ |
|
 |
“ I’d heard about this cunnilingus instructions shirt and eventually found it at Spitalfields Market. It begins with the line, ‘Gently pull the lips apart and look at her inner lips’ and gets worse from there.”
ANDREW ROSS, London, UK
|
|
 |
“ This seems to be a white rasta baby on drugs that’s reaching for the stars. I got it from a car boot sale in Milton Keynes.”
MELANIE STANDAGE, Nottingham, UK
|
|
 |
“ This was two bucks at Big Bud’s. It’s the cheapest material I’ve ever touched. One grade above diapers.”
BLAKE JACOBS, Ottawa, ON |
|
 |
“ This was from a Cancer Research shop in Brighton. The old lady behind the counter said she knew the “designer” who’d made it and he was French. I dunno about that.”
MARY DAVIES, Brighton, UK |
|
 |
“ This is from a friend of my mom’s who rents out costumes for a living. The leaves are supposed to be maple leaves but they look like pot. It’s kind of itchy but I love it.”
DEBORAH WEGER, Montreal, PQ |
|
 |
“ This Shriner bomber cost me $10 and the patches say weird shit like, ‘Oriental Band’ and ‘Stop Burn Injuries’ which I like to pretend has to do with burning people via riffs.”
BIG PINKY, Brooklyn, NY |
|
 |
“ I guess this shirt is for people that bust shit. The back says ‘Rocky Mountain Pwod’ and I got it at one of those flea markets on 26th and 7th for about $5.”
DAVID CROSS, New York, NY |
|
 |
“ My friend William bought me this shirt of a gorilla wearing a bra from Japan. I thought it was something to do with Asahi beer but apparently it’s something to do with getting an erection in the morning. Weird.”
ANITA CRAPPER, London, UK

i drove past sambo’s in santa barbara in april 2000 and everyone in the car had exactly the same reaction. the fact that there was a storm coming, so it looked like a ghost town just added to the "did we just drive back to the forties?" feeling. | | Anonymous, on Dec 2, 2008 wrote:

That is not a "cheap slingshot" in the rattlesnake egg envelope. Spin the plastic or metal ring that is suspended by the two rubber bands and put it back in the envelope like that.. then, when someone opens the envelope it makes a loud noise (as the rubber bands unravel, spinning the button against the paper)and they yell and then everyone laughs. say duh, you cheap thief. | | Anonymous, on Jul 13, 2008 wrote:
