This shirt is really about my frustration with the gumball machine at the video store down the street. It WILL NOT accept Canadian quarters. (?) The video store person REFUSES to give out \"real\" (her word) quarters in exchange for \"foregin currency.\" (again...her words)

Haha. I like this shirt. Its just bizarre and weird, you would wear it and people would be like, "say what?" and then they would ask you the story behind it and you could make up all kinds of junk. That would be fun.

why can only fatties wear it?

whirzle1 on Nov 04 '05

well...I figure they print XL tshirts, too...so it might be nice to recognize the big man.

greenfoo on Nov 04 '05

but the big man has big man boobies! LOL cool shirt though

phones on Nov 04 '05

i really like it- that cheerful moose/elk/whatever is fantastic!

Halarious message... but I'd really like it if it weren't so rest stop gift shop-y.

meredizzlefosho on Nov 04 '05

if you were cool you would know

cirque427 on Nov 05 '05

that's funny--lol "real" quarters....

Fett on Nov 05 '05

Love for the fat man, that's great! I wish they'd recognize that some of us are XS too! I love the shirt and the story behind it, that's fantastic! Love it on the dark blue :)

I chuckle thinking about the put down
on Canada by mentioning REAL quarters.
So the design is good with its humor,
but I can't find a decent reason for the
the blue arrow around the Canadian
quarter to exist. Am I missing something?

meekins on Nov 06 '05

i love random message shirts like these! awexome

CoCounts on Nov 06 '05

lol

whirzle1 on Nov 06 '05

well the bluse arrow is kinda like that joke that goes, "What like (fill i nthe blank) and has two thumbs? THIS guy!"

So think of the big blue arrow as a graphic metaphor for some really annoying guy's thumbs.

deftonez_rule on Nov 06 '05

Awesome... never been to Canada, but awesome!

+5

whirzle1 on Nov 06 '05

I screwed that up...it goes,"What has two thumbs and (fill in the blank). THIS guy!"

...I'm not so great with the jokes.

murffels on Nov 06 '05

make this shirt happen

nogoodpeacenik on Nov 07 '05

Oh this is nice. It'll make a nice three dollar shirt sold in gas stations at highway rest stops and drugstores like Walgreens. But I sure as crap hope threadless isn't the one responsible for its printing. This shit is too good in for the internet! It needs to go bring up the bar in a bargain bin somewhere!

whirzle1 on Nov 07 '05

My Walgreens only sells tshirts with motorcycles, eagles and that old lady from the Hallmark cards that's always talking about menopause and chocolate. But yeah, you're right. This shirt is supposed to be kinda kitsch-y/campy...

Kafelnikov on Nov 08 '05

I hate it when I buy something and I get a Canadian quarter back in my change. Ssometimes people don't care, but those blasted gumball machines! My friend is living in Montreal right now, he'd love it.

kayetea on Nov 08 '05

lmao i love this.

i am also frustrated with all the canadian coins i recieve. living close to the canadian border allows me to go over there frequently. and what to do with the change?! $5

Prize Fighter Inferno on Nov 08 '05

hahah Great
yeah people dont take canadien quarters hear either
5$

November1134 on Nov 09 '05

lmao i love this shirt- except its too bright for me.
but i still love it.
props man.

Roncore on Nov 09 '05

i agree with the shirt.

especiallyc us i live 15 mins from canada.

beetle babe on Nov 10 '05

i think this one has a funny story to tell, and its an artist who has designed something with emotion. he has a mission.. this tshirt was inspired by a real life experience... i love it!

astrid! on Nov 10 '05
