I wanted to smack them both.
Huh. I found that mildly amusing. I'd never actually do that, but I think it's kind of funny.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And someday I'll get a dictionary and laugh.
Bwah!
It's a play on Joyce's line from Ullysses (which my college GF had on her t-shirt): The ineluctable modality of the visible.
Which means (in the context of the book): The inexpressible patterning of what we see. I think in that section of the book, the character is by the sea and has his eyes closed, but he's still "seeing" it in his mind. Joyce was just noting the primacy of vision in ordering how we conceive of things. t /pedantic

There's another tee I love, but there's another accessory I'd need first, since I wouldn't be the one wearing it.
I can just see the personal ad for that one "Seeking a special someone who can fill out a t-shirt. Shirt will be provided."

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I would wear the tee-shirt in ita's link.
Not too sure what the message would evoke in the mind of the reader, though. Some kind of nine-foot tall Amazon with green skin, wearing a Klingon hide, maybe.

Always Anti-fascist!
Oh, yeah, I get it. Now. And I don't think it's pedantic if I asked. Maybe if I ran into you at Target wearing it, but not around here.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
She has a tee-shirt that says "tits" in Braille.
I bought a kid's tee at a thrift store from the Grand Tetons.

The evil is this way?
When I was in college, a woman (student age) walked into the fast food pizza place where I was working wearing a t-shirt that said, "I only sleep with the best." Half a minute later her boyfriend walked in with a t-shirt that said, "The best."
I wanted to smack them both.
I would have been waiting to see if someone else walked in behind him with a t-shirt that said "Beg to differ."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks sumi -- do you know when we found that out?
Some kind of nine-foot tall Amazon with green skin, wearing a Klingon hide, maybe.
Green skin? Get real.
I guess I'm a sucker for worded t-shirts, because I keep thinking of others I love (Buffista Security would be another).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I see t-shirts with stuff I love, but I just know I'd never wear it out of the house. I mean, I have to warm up to patterns, much less words.
