I am kind of mad...
I have spent so long saying that I don't want to be "That Guy" in a variety of situations... I had no idea that it came from a movie.

my friend said she was making me a shirt that said "That Guy" on it, but either she was joking, or she is a bum. Probably both.

Maybe people need something new to be pretentious about.

I thought you were only allowed to wear your Ramones or Misfits t-shirt.

I rock the Misfits shirt with the original band members signatures on it.

Also, going back to work this time, I will be wearing my brand new Bad Brains tee, because they are the only DC hardcore band that ever really mattered.

So, is there only song that is super-fast and awesome "Pay to Cum"? That song is... so good.
I also love "Don't Bother Me" quite a lot. Then again, the only albums I have are "Banned in DC" and "I Against I". I Against I just... doesn't really do it for me. Most of Banned in DC doesn't, either.

Maybe I'm just meant to drive around with my Minor Threat Complete Discography on repeat forever...

I love Minor Threat, but (a) Ian is too earnest, and (b) Minor Threat is unlikely to play in my neck of the woods any time too soon. Plus, HR sings better.

Hmmm, I have never heard them, but I saw them this weekend.  I enjoyed it.

We probably have fundamentally different needs in everything other than Kitten/Duck hardcore.

I always understood this maxim to mean that you should never buy a current tour/album T-shirt at the concert and immediately put it on.  Following this logic, it is OK to wear T-shirts from previous albums/tours, because this means that you and the band go way back.  Fans with no life measure seniority by the length of time they have been fans, after all.

Personally, I tend to wear nine dollar T-shirts that basically are a color.  I usually forget I'm wearing something with a phrase on it, so I get uncomfortable when strangers stare at my belly area and then laugh.

Also I don't see how words on a shirt double its value.

I wear absolutely no clothing with visible labels, including band T-shirts.  I used to back in the day, but not anymore.  It springs from not wanting to advertise anything, but for bands, it is just that I am not really much of a fanatic about things, and my tastes in music changes pretty often.  I haven't really been fervently devoted to any specific band since my teens (when fervency and fanaticism are common place).  I've been to plenty of shows, but what I wear to them almost never crosses my mind.

I'm even a bit hesitant to wear other bands shirts at gigs, although I tend to up end up doing so. I've got a couple of tees that are actually a fan design based on The Mars Volta, and don't have the name printed on them at all, so I'd probably quite happily wear that to a TMV show. I managed to get a QotSA shirt from the tour I went to see them on when I got another shirt and hoodie from their site, but I doubt I'd wear it to a show. I've worn it to many a folk gig though!

None of this is to say that I can put my finger on what bothers me about it... I'd never really considered why before.

I make sure never to be wearing an Achewood shirt when I am reading the strip.

Oh, I do wear my achewood shirts*, but since neither say anything about Achewood on them, I consider them to obscure to be an advertisement for anything.

(* actually one has a hole and varnish on it, the other is stained in a horrible, perminant way, hence I wear them to do yard work.)

Will anyone be wondering when I show up on your doorstep and shower you with kisses? Because I can make that happen. It actually would be a fun thing for me to do next time I am off work.

Plane tickets are more or less free for me.

You don't mind if I sleep in your garage, or barring you garage, in your back yard or in the middle of your street?

Trust me, you don't want to sleep in our gararge. But there's always the back seat of my VW Beetle. Cozy!

Why are plane tickets free? All of the airlines bow down before your great lifestyle sacrifices for the sake of their fossil fuel supply?
