Evolution to the Pig



Japanese t-shirt commentary on U.S. culture, perhaps?

DO NOT BE A MONKEY



This is from a line of Nagoya-specific t-shirts along the same theme (Do not be a cat! Do not be a rabbit!) Some people say the ability to communicate is what distinguishes humans from other animals, but apparently it's our ability to choose t-shirts. ^-^

Does All Undead...

From a t-shirt:


Um, maybe? Is this a trick question? Actually, I mostly loved the use of blackletter font there, very Gothic. :)

Ulitemate!

I've been on the road for about a month now. It's great to see my family and travel and relax, but it's also good to be home. Home, where the Janglish calls:




I confess the "ulitemate" caught my eye, and I only noticed "Microsoft Widows" later! Is that like golf widows? Women whose husbands play way too much Minesweeper...?

I am unpleasant.

Another wistful dog with a shaky grasp of English from another bag:


"If I am here, can you go out with you?" sounds like something of an existentialist Zen koan...

Foot Pee!



I just bet it's a surprise...

In a related story, I saw a baby with a bib that had "Hi!!" on it. Because of the font and the el-to-exclamation-point issue, it looked remarkably like "Kill" The image of a baby with an adorable little "Kill" bib on kept making me giggle...

Your Word is Like Magic.

A gift bag spotted in a convenience store featuring a loquacious dog with a tenuous grasp on the English language:



It's the "splease praise me" that clinches the deal, I think. I am sorely tempted to buy this bag and hold it between me and the world some days.

SPLEASE PRAISE ME
