Confusing, I’d wear it just to mess with people!
“Since 1981.05.26.23″
um… does the 23 stand for the hour of when it began?
pffft. what do they mean by frolic?
frolic? isn’t that some kind of dogfood?
oh, i think they took that from “happy” in german (fröhlich). it’s the only logical explanation, if anything logical can be derived from that t-shirt.
Sorry, but hat is not the “only logical explanation”. It’s a normal English word. Look it up.

*facepalm* It’s never good to have a typo in a comment about someone else’s language…
I am deeply ashamed. I’ll shut up now.
no prob. i like to be enlightened. now i can use the word frolic on a regular basis.
lol NOBODY says frolic lol
What about “F is for frolic through all the flowers”?
THAT was on Spongebob so it’s gotta be known by
about 25% of today’s youth
Since 1981.05.26.23? Has it really been that long paradaise existed?
Time sure flies…
What does the date mean? Since 11 p.m. on may 26th, 1981? why would thwy need to be that specific?
I can’t believe they left off the minutes and seconds… how am I supposed to enjoyed all together and frolic if I don’t know what time to meet up in paradaise?!!
Well, it’s obvious that we’re meeting at 11 pm…. don’t you get that?!?!
anyways, I loled at your comment so hard I started crying.
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with this?
um… grammar issues to the max?
Plus, paradise is spelled paradise, not paradaise.
I hope you’re kidding
cause it absolutely makes no sense.
It will frolic!! Or else, it gets the hose again!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I am in tears. win.
WAAAAAAaaaaaaLOL… If it can’t rock, the least it can do is frolic. Not even to frolic is just wet.
Let’s he will be enjoyed together,
It frolics in tropical weather,
It’s Paradaise here
Since the 81 year,
So dress up in your studs and your leather…
No, no…. they want us to enjoy “HE” . Everyone.. sounds like my kind of party! I bet “HE” is going to have a good time on the specified day and time! wink.. wink…
WANT.
Um, are those the LOST numbers at the bottom? I believe this shirt is just a riddle that, when decoded, reveals the island’s location. o.O
Or the phone number. O.o
Longitude, Lattitude, Altitude.
IP address
No… Mac address!
Stardate.
Captain’s log, supplemental.
Reminds me of that old song, “Paradaise by the Daishboard Laights”. (Which was already out for about 4.6.2.17.11.8 before the date on this shirt.)
Hey, what’s that image above the 26? A guy in a wheelchair out on the water? And is he fishing?
Congratulations! You found the little man in the boat! The ladies must really love you!
… Is *that* why? They never say – they just take their money and leave.
How about the post below here where someone is surprised that a coconut tree has coconuts? Do you mock that? NOOOO!!
because I’m the chief. No one mocks me.
That’s because it’s wicked to mock the afflicted. Sorry about your chest nuts.
didn’t know coconut trees had balls…
Where do you think coconuts come from then?
I thought they were a bunch of hoary old chestnuts
Captain’s Log, Stardate 1981.05.26.23….
We visited a small island and officially named it ‘Paradaise’. The natives, being of a happy nature, immediately started the island in a perpetual state of frolic. McCoy was still unamused. Mr. Sulu, however, took the opportunity to teach the natives his own personal method of frolicking. He now has three new husbands.
…and two wierd trees with balls
That would be WEIRD trees. Unless you meant wired trees, which would be weirder than weird. And more dangerous, too, since anything with balls that is wired can be dangerous!
yeah I meant weird…was typing so fast the words spilled all over
Christmas trees! Be afraid, be very afraid!
Christmas trees! Is this a Doctor Who reference? Or am I just being unnecessarily nerdy?
How will he explain the new ones to the ones he already has?
Comment is win. Ultimate win.
I must have that shirt.
Paradaise … is that like hollandaise?
Yeah, but better. It’s heavenly! :-p
Paradaise is when your particular vision of heaven includes a raised platform (dais, for those who might not be as severely plagued with hyperlexia as I am).
Hyperlexia can damage your health. Please enjoy wine in moderation.
Haven’t had a drink in 19 years. My hyperlexia stems from excessive consumption of educational services.
It may frolic, but it’s still not allowed to Batman.
DO NOT
Okay, I understand the problem with english, but how the hell does one dork up a date like that?
Found this shirt in Tokyo back in 2003. It had the silliest Engrish I could find. The front of the shirt says “PARADISE”. I thought it was odd that it’s spelled correctly on the front and wrong on the back. And yeah, what’s up with those numbers?
Who knew that t-shirt sweatshops had separate designers for front-of-shirt and back-of-shirt? Anyway, before we all move on, I want to say thank you, Katie, for sharing this with us. Enjoy your shirt for many yrs to come.
could that be May 23 – 26 1981????
The numbers are cursed! Cursed I tell you!
either that or it’s an ISP.
Thats the best tshirt ever!
Questions-
Who is the ‘he’ that we will all be enjoying together?
What will we doing to the guy that we are enjoying?
What will be froliking?
Do I WANT to know the answer to any of these questions?
These are some of life’s mysteries.
hahaha
What? Did I miss something?
hahaha 4 brb
I couldnt agree with you more!!
This definitely makes great sense to me.
