Life In 19x19

This as a t-shirt please: http://xkcd.com/1287/

Just for visits to the chess club.

Personally I'd feel insulted by anyone who felt insulted by me wearing that shirt because it's insulting of them to think that I'm the kind of person that would give that kind of insult so if someone were to be so inconsiderate as to feel insulted by the insult on my shirt I would consider that insult an insult well deserved.

I can't believe this guy paid X dollars for ill fitting T-shirt,

Whom are you talking about?

what a moron,

May I ask again: whom are you talking about? I find this more insulting that that T-shirt could ever be.

I bet he/she would abuse my nice glass stones just to distract me. Better to avoid playing in the future.

You’re not paranoid, right? I bet they are after you

The person who paid X dollars for ill fitting T-shirt.

Can a moron wearing an annoying T-shirt also be thin skinned? Sure why not, in fact it almost makes sense that I wouldn't want to play go with a person wearing said T-shirt, because they obviously are superficial preferring that their clothes make a statement rather than their clothes, feel comfortable to wear, or otherwise be functional.

C'mon, did you look at the T-shirt, it is obviously advocating dropping or throwing stones, I never hold my stones a foot above my dish and try to drop them into the bowl, and even if it doesn't damage the stones or cause the stones to get scattered and lost, its really loud and annoying.

How about

I resigned,
and all I got
was this lousy T-shirt.

If I got a t-shirt, I'd be inclined to resign much more often.

Being a huge fan of the t-shirt it's a bummer that good ones are so troublesome to find. Next to futile trying to find one in a womens cut. (ok KGS has some but the designs not surprisingly are pretty uninspired). Actually emailed IGS a few days ago to ask if there's a way to pick up one of those nifty pandanet t-shirts but haven't heard back yet and don't expect to as google search's for such turn up absolute zero. Have seen some nice designs occasionally on EGC t-shirts but most of the USGC ones I've seen aren't anything I'd wear. If it's any consolation chess players seem to be in the same boat and the one posted by the op is a perfect example of whats out there, though they probably have more choices. To be fair though, well designed, humorous or even just clever t-shirts in general or not so easy to find.

But the thread has reminded me of one I'd been meaning to fetch (even comes in womens sizes a variety of colors) and one could consider there a cross over to go I guess.

If anyone knows how to bag one of these am all ears:

Look you can get "custom fit" T-shirts five sizes to pick from S,M,L,XL,XXL.

I have half a mind to report that to the better business bureau for deceptive marketing.

Wait, could you please post the uncensored, director’s cut version of that? Is that who I think it is? (Won't tell cause of the embarrassment if I’m wrong )

Thx, Tom

Cool, unfunny t-shirt ideas. Can I play?

a t-shirt that never existed wrote:PS: Your J-group had children, and I made them watch.

That embarrassing picture has made the rounds before I believe. Questions were asked.

With no definitive answers to my knowledge. Also, unfortunately, folks awaiting the uncensored director's cut are likely in for a fair bit of disappointment, perhaps reminiscent of others in magnitude...

I own one of these, although I may have lost it. (I'm not very good at packing.) I believe I was given at a tournament in Japan last year. (It's not me in the picture).

So if you know anyone who played in a Pandanet sponsored tournament, they may well be able to help you out!

There's yet another missing option for the poll--both of the above.

I find it amusing, but would think that the person wearing it was probably a jerk.

When you are done playing this clown, you pull your indelible ink pen from your pocket, reach across the board, and edit his shirt.
