WHAT IS THIS?

I have a lot of t-shirts. I mean A LOT. And I usually wear a t-shirt every day.

At the end of 2005 I had the idea for this blog - starting January 1st, 2006 I would wear a different t-shirt from my collection every day until I ran out of shirts. Shirts could not be repeated. Each day I was to take a photo of that particular day's shirt, tell everyone a little bit about it, and then post it all on this blog. I also encouraged my readers to send me shirts to keep my streak going, but that didn't work out so well. I think I got two or three in the mail. The rest of the shirts were mine.

The SASHDISH experiment lasted from January 1st, 2006 to June 5th, 2006, or something like 152 shirts! Was this pointless? Probably. But so is most of the stuff on the internet.

After SASHDISH ended, I got lazy and stopped checking in on it. Then the company that owned the server that stored all of my images went out of business, and all of the photos were lost. Someday, when I'm bored, I'll go back and repost the images. Until then, I still have all of the individual shirt descriptions up, so you can read about each one. And here's a photo of the first 100 shirts: SASHDISH 100.

In case you're wondering, I got rid of most of these shirts. However, I'm still a t-shirt-a-holic and now own just as many (if not more) than I used to.

Engrish -- I hate my life...


Front:
I Hate My Life
Every day I polish my revolver
and shoot my head
like a rock star
Back: Nothing

If you haven't been to engrish.com, then you should go now. It started as a guy cataloguing all of the funny things he found in Japan – you know, poorly-worded translations, weird product names, etc. Then people started sending in photos of stuff that they found. The site kept growing and growing. Now they sell t-shirts and Christmas cards and actual products from Japan (with funny names, of course.)

I thought this shirt was funny, so I bought it. I believe the saying comes from a t-shirt someone found while in Japan. I guess Japanese people will buy a shirt with English printing on it, just like stupid Americans will buy anything with a Japanese or Chinese character on it because it “looks cool.”
