I’m pretty sure that it’s all words, not just much English. He’s basically saying “First!” in a multilingual word salad. “Ichiban” is Japanese for “the first”.
As for the image – What the hell? How do these things happen? Did they just push the t-shirt into a pile of English words and some random letters and just kept whatever stuck?
Also, brilliant typesetting with the t in “Let’s go” behind the buttons..
JohnB, I left you a fangirl comment back on the squid brick page. I was going backwards thru these pages and time. You were funny a week ago. And still are.
Thank you very much for the very timely compliment! I have, after a lifetime of struggle, finally developed a fairly good self-concept, but lately had been catching so much flak from some people hereabouts that I was thinking of taking a hiatus from this site, if not a retirement. Now I feel sufficiently buoyed to soldier on another day (apologies to all my non-fans!).
I was worried about that. Do keep showing up, we need your kind.
They got a rise out of you with the Pedo-Bear shirt. I’m sure that was exhausting. Don’t let the bastards get you down!
I need this site, and it would bum me out very much to have you driven away. We want you here. That positive self-image is justified!
I hit on this site like a drug some days, it’s that rough…gotta have a laugh!
Yeah, I don’t know that even if I had decided to stay away I could have. The lolz are heap strong medicine. That one was an ordeal but it was more the people who kept popping up saying I’m not funny, which made me question whether I was. Humor is like lightning in a bottle and it can easily get away from you. But I noticed that I was still making the people I deal with in person laugh. Don’t get me wrong; I was never the class clown or anything. (Well, there were moments during my inebriated years…) I was more the guy who sat in the back quietly making the people around me laugh at the class clown in a different tone than the rest of the class.
Your non-fans must have been folding fans. Haven’t seen them around lately.
BTW, here’s one comment I don’t believe I saw on that page: 300+ comments, and most of them NOT yours, JohnB! That number must be a record for this site.
Keep commenting. There’s plenty of space.
i’m thinking bng is “bling” mostly because of the studded collar/leash…and virnk could be “think” so it would read as follows in my mind: Let’s go. Is she? Do you think? Nice Bling? which still makes absolutely no sense at all.
But as far as I know, it doesn’t cause looseness of association. Nor does it cause one to bellow nonsense. In fact, the exclamations of Tourette’s sufferers are often quite apropros, if crude. I can still remember doing a family therapy session in which the kid had Tourette’s and the parents were headed for a split and both VERY closed off. In the middle of an impasse, the kid suddenly bellowed, “Mom, why the f*ck did you have to go and p!ss off Dad like that???” It was involuntary, but was the most honest expression I heard that day.
I’ve thought about this… and I think it is meant to say.. “Do you like my nice bling?”
The dog saying ” Is she ” because some languages have just a masculine/feminine words to them… So get rid of those words.. Then that leaves “Do you virnk” Could be “Do you like” and then “nice BNG” Because bling is slang could have been poorly translated.
Glory, commento ichi ban hai en salada!
Not sure I comprendo commento, but a word salad usually requires that the components actually be words.
I’m pretty sure that it’s all words, not just much English. He’s basically saying “First!” in a multilingual word salad. “Ichiban” is Japanese for “the first”.

Also, brilliant typesetting with the t in “Let’s go” behind the buttons..
Yeah, I noticed that, and thought it said, “Les go,” which I thought was probably some sort of pro-gay-woman shirt.
+40 points. +900 if you design and commercialize a pro-lesbian shirt with the ‘word’ “virnk” still in there.
And what exactly do these points get me?
Nothing!
Of course, I would argue that it’s unlikely that “BNG” is a word in any language, since even Polish insists on some vowels.
well if BNG equals Bong then the shirt starts to make more sense ^_^
LNG is liquefied natural gas. So what can one do to natural gas that starts with a B? Bottled natural gas?
Biological Natural Gas!! Ewwww!!!!
+90 points.
I virnk so!
Roflol
The must funny part is the title
Must funny? When you compel people to laugh, it makes it less funny.
You must give funny! Strongly!
That’s where the Press Harder! button comes in handy.
That’s when the Push Harder! button is used.
Sorry about the double entry. My non-wine must have made me non-drunk tonight.
I just pushed it. It went “virnk”.
glad to see everyone is alive, well, and still absolutely bonkers.
*starts to play “Hail To The Chief” on the nearest kazoo*
is that a kazoo in my pocket or I’m glad to see you?
Yes!
Now, what would BNG stand for and what makes it so nice?
BONG?
Bong, bang, and bung all occurred to me, which shows where my dirty mind goes.
You’ve got a dirty mind? How about Big Nutty Groin? heh :p
That’s not where my mind goes, but whatever floats your boat.
lol I should have looked through all the post.But anyway i agree with Alice : )
Bong
Makes
Everything
h a p p y.
British National Grid? Which fits nicely with the rest of the shirt being sort of random.
Obviously, Be Nice Girl.
Another nesting fail.
When you’re a cuckoo, wrong nesting isn’t a fail, it’s a way of life!
especially if you fly over it
To the far side.
Hmmm yes that dog actually is a nice bang.. Wait, what?
0_o Is she do you?
She bng, she bng,
Oh bby, when she mvs, she mvs…
The canted pockets over the boobal areas are a bonus design feature.
Showing clearly that you can’t touch this.

Yes, I think we topped 200 a time or two before but certainly a lot of heat was generated, if not a lot of light.
BNG. Mmmmm Brave Nougaty Goodness om nom nom.
I Approve
I’d hit it
Yeah, with a stick, maybe.
a stick?…naw…i’d say something like a nice five iron.
That’s not very nice to the doggy
No, not the doggy, the bng.
oh no! not the stick! it’s got traces of pms all over it
I NOT HAS A PMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*virn* k.
I know what you mean, Virn k.
If that damned dog does a great bng virnk on the nature strip and the owner doesn’t clean it up, I swear I’m going to make the damned human eat it.
ALL humes are damned./////
Have you mentioned this to Brit Hume?
i’m thinking bng is “bling” mostly because of the studded collar/leash…and virnk could be “think” so it would read as follows in my mind: Let’s go. Is she? Do you think? Nice Bling? which still makes absolutely no sense at all.
The studded collar could also indicate that this is a Leather Pride dog.
It’s not a pearl necklace? Our doggies, our choice.
I thought it was a string of Christmas tree lights.
I won’t be looking for presents underneath the dog!
No, usually the dog gets away before you see the presents.
Tourettes is a crazy diseease XD

Bingo is the dog! Niiice Bingo…
Now vrink! Niiiice doggy.
