It's like black t-shirts bought from market stalls that have pictures of soft-focus wolves on them DOES THIS ACTUALLY REPRESENT WHO YOU ARE YOU CRAZY FUCK?

Hey, it does!

Yeah, I see people wearing those shirts all the time, and it seems to represent EXACTLY the type of person who would wear one. And as a sartorial choice, a silkscreened wolf on a black T-shirt doesn't seem all that "crazy."

Maybe not "crazy" so much as "lost".

oh man this reminds me of that crap "boulevard of broken dreams" poster, in which james dean, humphrey bogart (!), and marilyn monroe appear in a version of hopper's "nighthawks at the diner." it never fails to show up in half-assed "50s diners" and bad college town used bookstores.

My favorite shirts are the And 1 shirts people used to wear, with different intimidating slogans like "Get your books son, I'm takin you to school!" or whatever. It's like you would by the shirt with the intention of making it clear that whoever came in your path would get their ass kicked.

I kinda like the one of Sid flippin' off Kurt, but I have no idea why Hendrix is there (other than that maybe it's because he's from Seattle).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:33 (nineteen years ago) link

For the first I think I put in “a cheesy poster of Janis Joplin jamming with other dead rock stars in a bar” or something. I originally had Hendrix and Cobain in the prompt too but it rejected that on the “no famous people” rule (sorry, Janis).

The expansion on the second one was similar but without the name I think.
