My Life in Tee Shirts

Picked up this up circa 1988, making it my oldest tee. It says Denali National Park Alaska.  I'm sure I got it somewhere near there. We didn't get to hike it or anything, but rather looked at it from afar in the safety of the visitors center.  I distinctly remember someone feeding a chipmunk.  That's adventure in the Alaskan wilderness! Also pictured is the back of the tee. I honestly don't believe it's tattered because of its age, but rather its quality. I can't wear it anymore, because I can't wash it.  But how can I toss it?

Colorado, circa 1992. I love to ski, but do it about as often as I wear this shirt, which is hardly ever.

Ok, probably my favorite shirt of all time.  Got this at Murphy's Mart in Logan, OH, in about 1994.

From 1995. NYC, some street vendor. I lived in KS at the time, so I had to have it.  Also, I have that .38 Smith and Wesson pictured on the front.

1995 was a big year for tees.  This one hails from Haifa, Israel.  They patrol the streets with these things. The Uzis, not the tee shirts.  If you ever make it to Israel, there are plenty of sites to see, the tomb of David, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Via Dolorosa, but above all, don't miss the falafels.

I was in the Navy from '93-'97.  I served on board the USS Gunston Hall, the Marine 7th Comm Battalion, and finally the Seabees. I still have a number of these olive green shirts. Or are they brown? I can't tell.

This was a gift from my dear wife, 4-5 years ago. I never feel more like a nerd than when I wear this one. Though it depicts a great scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail, it's not my favorite scene.  My favorite scene is the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.  If you see one of those tees, let me know.

Here's a couple of recent acquisitions.  They, too, reveal my nerdiness.  I don't read comic books or anything, I just like the imagery of Superman and Batman.  The Batman logo glows in the dark!

There you have it.  I'm so glad that I had time to write this very important and inspiring post. As an extra treat, here is the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch scene.
