'Sup Faggots Shirt

[ product review ]

I've owned shirts before, you might have seen me wearing one in such articles as My Time With Tony Hawk or Let's Bomb Hawaii Again. Shirts, to me, are more than just a piece of material sewn together and silk screened with clever phrases on them. It's a lifestyle. It's who I am. I suspect that if I didn't wear shirts I'd be partly naked. I've never tried it, it's not my thing, but I'm just going out on a limb and taking a wild guess. You know what's super-charged killer about shirts? When you're feeling down, and life tells you to fuck off and die, your shirt is the first thing you see before you stare at your feet. And, like I said, I've owned shirts in the past, and they've all been mine in one way or another, stolen, borrowed or given, and I've hearted all of them for different reasons. But this shirt is mine on so many levels. Granted, it's in my hands, and I don't have to give it back, but look at the handwriting screened onto the breast. Totally mine. I wrote that. Myself. I was in Minneapolis in October hanging out in my friend's skateshop, Fobia, and I was all, "Joe, I like T-shirts. Make me a T-shirt." Or something like that. Maybe not those exact words. That sounds awkward and forced, but you know what I'm saying? Right? You better. One thing led to another, and next thing I know he's having a baby boy. and I'm all, "Hey, pal, that's not my kid." But the T-shirt, that shit is mine. I wrote it, and then without me knowing it he screened it on the motherf'ing T-shirt. And. dude, now I own it. Now I can walk in the room, and my shirt can say what I always say when I walk into a room full of people for me. It's like when TWS does those stupid am checkouts, and whoever writes them says something to the effect of, "Bobby doesn't say much, he likes to let his skating do the talking for him." How many times over the past 15 years have you read that? Like a million, right? Well, my skating is kind of a deaf mute with Tourette's, so I don't want him talking for me, and he doesn't have to now. From here on out don't expect to hear shit coming out of my mouth because my shirt is going to do the talking. But, hey, if you're in the same boat as me. and you're over saying stuff, you can buy one of these shirts. I think they only made a few, but I'm sure Joe would make you one. Tell him you're my bro, and ask him when we're going fishing.
