Mr. Tee

This made me grin. Nice presentation, too. =p

This brings up something that irks me about Threadless voters (well, commenters) sometimes. People sometimes complain that "no one outside of Threadless would get it. Well, no! And I'm oddly okay with that.

I don't know, maybe I'm just weird, but I generally buy clothes that I like... not clothes that I need other people to "get." If a shirt makes me happy, why would it matter if no one I know understands it? Yeah, there's the idea of "I'd have to explain it to everyone," but you don't actually have to explain anything. Someone asks what your shirt is about, you don't have to answer them if you can't be bothered to do so. I can think of a half-dozen responses to the question Who's that? about this shirt.

-He's the lead singer in an indie band. You haven't heard of him.
-It's my boyfriend
-Can't you read?
-He's running for President in 2008
-It's Dustin Diamond. You know, the guy who played Screech on Saved by the Bell?
-Okay, so that was only five, but you see where this is going.

I dunno, it just seems weird that people would only buy shirts that they knew their friends would like.
