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.

The Urge
Front: The Urge
Back: Urge -- you are a jackoff
I got this shirt in December of 1994 at an Urge concert at Northeast Missouri State University (now known as Truman State University). It was, and is, the most offensive t-shirt in my collection. The front features a stick figure grabbing his crotch and flipping the bird (click the photo for enlarged version), while the back proudly proclaims "you are a jackoff". Back in my angst-filled college days, I thought this was the epitome of cool. Now I just hope that no small children see this shirt when I'm wearing it. Have I gotten older? Definitely. More responsible? Maybe. But I still think it's kind of cool that my shirt says dirty stuff, so maybe I haven't matured all that much.
For those that don't know,
The Urge was a kickass punk/ska/rock/funk band from St. Louis. They are now defunct, but their legend lives on.
