    aren’t these just random words put together and printed?

    • Nangleator says:

      Aaah… English words are like fine masterpieces, aren’t they?

      • enyvl says:

        Yes, it does seem like Japanese T-shirts have a tendency to have random, cool-sounding English words printed on them.

    • calilac says:

      dada poetry maybe?

      • buckinarut says:

        I think you’re on to something. If it weren’t for the caps, I was thinking maybe e.e. cummings. Not one of his better works, though. I prefer the one he did about the grasshopper.

        Maybe you ought to try reciting this shirt at your next neighborhood poetry slam. You’ll either be considered a genius, or someone will recommend counselling.

    Stubborn Sideburn Side Walking Its easy to walk your sideburns even if they are stubborn

    an sex freeze (I dont want to know)

    penguin idea PENGUINS FTW

    nothing to die well this shirt will die soon…

    change pirate 50 cent + jack sparrow

    tottoo the taxi clearly a missplelling of toto from the wizzard of oz, he should have taken a taxi instead of following dorthy

    hijacker world

    • JohnB says:

      I think tottoo is an obvious misspelling for “tattoo.” I’ve never known tattoo artists to work on taxis, but if they do, I’d like to watch!

      • Mark. Gooley says:

        Offer free taxi rides to really DRUNK people, but have a tattoo artist IN THE TAXI offering to do tattoos at a reasonable fee, RIGHT THERE! I bet he’d (or better yet she’d) get a lot of business. (And possibly get beaten up the day after.)

      • PointsOutTheObvious says:

        New from Discovery: Tattoo Taxi, a spinoff of Cash Cab. As you are driven to your destination, an aspiring tattoo artist tries to complete a tattoo before you arrive, but gets a strike for every mistake on the image. If the artist gets 3 strikes or fails to complete the tattoo by the time you arrive, they lose, and go home with nothing. If they succeed, they win money based on the difficulty of the tattoo and the length of the drive. At the end, they have a chance to double their earnings by performing laser surgery to remove tha tattoo given another time limit. Fail to completely remove it in time, and they go home with nothing.

      Stubborn Sideburn Side Walking (to those who still go to the street with sideburns, thinking they are absolutely cool:)
      an sex freeze (mark me, it really turns off your partner stone cold)
      penguin idea (well, maybe penguins might like stone cold turnoffs haahaha)
      nothing to die (but don’t kill yourself out of embarrassment)
      change pirate (just become a sideburn-wielding pirate! yarrrr)
      tottoo the taxi (go vandalize taxis, to start with)
      hijacker world (in this world full of hijackers)

    • Andrew says:

      I think tottoo is meant to be tattoo, which is less of a stretch than toto.

  3. JohnB says:

    As a shrink familiar with aberrant streams of thought, I’d call this production “marked loosening of associations, bordering on word salad.” Nah, on second thought, let’s go straight for the salad.

    • JohnB says:

      Probably to be followed by a pot luck dinner!

      • blearg says:

        Salad is for rabbits… How bout followed by a BBQ!

        • dr handle says:

          BBQ will find a way.

        • Droll not Troll says:

          The best version of that line I ever heard- “Salad is what FOOD eats!”
          Ironically, the comedian who said it has a weight problem.

          • PointsOutTheObvious says:

            How DARE you doubt the power of Salad? Salad is a god among foods. It is delicious, yet quick to prepare. It always comes first, no matter the entree. It is so versatile that it can be tailored to ANY taste. It helps fill you up, but is generally healthy. so do NOT insult the almighty power of Salad. (side note: Tomatoes belong in the FRUIT salad. I hate getting them in every garden salad I eat.)

            • Droll not Troll says:

              I’m not doubting the power of salad, I like the joke! I eat salad regularly. I’d hate to be stuck with salads containing no tomato, though. I’m definitely not a food Nazi; if I think a particular ingredient might suit a dish, I’ll try it. Some of my better salads contain (aside from greens) chopped orange, fresh ginger, and nuts.
              One of my latest successful experiment is walnuts with spaghetti bolognese. Yummy!

              • PointsOutTheObvious says:

                I just plain hate fresh tomato. Roasted? Sure! Sun dried? Count me in! but fresh just tastes….. BLEUGH!

              • PointsOutTheObvious says:

                Experimental combinations for me generally come out of need. College food is so horrible sometimes that I just mix random things and HOPE it will improve. Can’t remember anything too successful, except for (PURE) maple syrup on grilled cheese, ranch dressing on cheese pizza, and grape jelly on corn muffins. Blue cheese on nachos too, but that wasn’t from college.

                • Droll not Troll says:

                  Both of your comments tell me the same thing. You have an extreme sweet-tooth. Roasting & drying tomatoes brings out the sugars. All the other stuff you mention is sweetened, except the blue cheese. That one surprised me, since I think it tastes like something that’s been over-salted because it went bad. Caviar tastes the same to me.

                  I suspect there’s an ester or something in these two, and possibly also in coffee, that doesn’t sit well on my palate.

                  You can train your palate to like foods that are less sweet, but there are some foods I’m sure I’ll never like!

                  • PointsOutTheObvious says:

                    Speaking o caviar, it’s one of the connundrums I’ve always pondered. Can a vegetarian eat caviar? I suppose that would depend on how it’s obtained and whether or not it’s been fertilized. As for the dressing, it’s because I LOVE cheese. The stronger the better. My salads USUALLY are topped with a balsamic vinigrette, but they contain crumbled bleu or gorgonzola. I suppose you have my sweet tooth right, tho I’m not much for pure chocolate. When I used to drink coffee it was always a latte with extra syrup, and about 3 sugars/small.

              • Andrew says:

                You have buys in ur salad lol

      • PoodleGroomer says:

        When word salad gets stuck in my head I have a pot stickers dinner.

    • zippycat says:

      Can I have blue cheese dressing on mine?

  4. JohnB says:

    My sideburns are not at all stubborn, but I have some eyebrow hairs that persist in growing in directions I’d prefer they didn’t.

  5. JohnB says:

    Any pirate worth his salt is not going to bother with change! Go straight for the bills, gold bars, pieces of eight! Forget the coins. They’re not worth the trouble.

    • blearg says:

      some coins in museums are worth millions of dollars… Oh wait… Nevermind thats just the securtity systems around the coin that dont work being worth millions of dollars…

    • blearg says:

      also its clearly 50 cent plus Jack Sparrow!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. JohnB says:

    Sex freeze is obviously the dessert to order after your sex burger.

  7. Matt says:

    I think the sentences are supposed to be grouped
    “an sex freeze – penguin idea” obviously…
    “nothing to die change pirate” after all pirates do live for the thrill
    “tottoo the taxi hijacker world” and that one… well, you got me!

    • blearg says:

      I think its like one of those refrigerator magnets that have a bunch of words that you can move around and make sentances, but this you have to cut up and sew back together before wearing…

      • Droll not Troll says:

        Pshht! Ready-made words? When I was young, we got to play with bits of the magnets from the old door seal that had to be replaced. Hours of fun leaving each other witty messages in odd-shaped letters on the fridge, and probably the reason why I seem to be addicted to this site.

  8. penguin_man says:

    Dam, I wish I knew where to buy that shirt from.

  9. tea says:

    I strongly regret going tottoo the taxi hijacker world now. My sex is frozen and I’m being followed around by immortal penguins with eyepatches. :/

  10. dr handle says:

    Freezing sex is probably not so much a penguin idea as a penguin necessity. As for changing pirates, is that a euphemism for what ninjas want to do?

  11. Aaron says:

    An Idea to change the world…

    AN sex freeze
    penguin IDEA
    nothing TO die
    CHANGE pirate
    tottoo THE taxi
    hijacker WORLD

  12. trollin trollin trollin says:

    Let this be a warning to people who would pay some 19 year old dreadlocked blond girl to henna-tattoo kanji characters on them.

    • dr handle says:

      At least henna tattoos wash off eventually, after you’ve taken enough baths. Although for some fellas, that would probably make ‘em more or less permanent.

  13. aaron says:

    WHERE CAN I GET THAT SHIRT!?

  14. NoCanDoolio says:

    i want that shirt sooooooooo bad. then i can show it off to people after summer is over at school :)

    • JohnB says:

      Does summer end on at your school on a different schedule than in the rest of the world?

      • JohnB says:

        I should have said, the rest of the hemisphere, of course, since those pesky folks Down Under insist on having their summer start in December…

  15. leendadll says:

    I sooooo want this shirt!

  16. Bunny (OP) says:

    Shirt was found for ¥300 at a Saty in Hon-Atsugi, Kanagawa, Japan

  17. Klow says:

    I think this t-shirt makes as much sense as many other t-shirts I saw in the English-speaking world.
