"It's All About Me"; "I Am Awesome"; "I'm Kind of a Big Deal"
That's egotism.
How about this one: "Whiskey and Women...Nothing Else Matters"
That's hedonism. I might add that this t-shirt has on it a huge bottle of Jack Daniel's and a scantily clad sexpot. The guy who wears this t-shirt leads a very empty and sad life. I truly feel sorry for him.
On another note--the picture below is of a fellow I saw at an ice cream parlor on the Oregon Coast. He had a sweet mullet so I took a picture of him, without him knowing, of course. I erased his eyes with iPhoto so that he wouldn't be easily identifiable, in case he's a friend or relative of anyone among my vast readership. Though with that distinctive of a hairdo his identity would probably not remain hidden to those who know him. Appropriately, his t-shirt (not visible in this picture) had cartoonish drawings and statements about being a redneck. Better to be a proud redneck than an unabashed hedonist, though they're not necessarily mutually exclusive. Anyway, I used to have a mullet.
(I know. The eyeless redneck is kind of scary.)

We've seen some interesting t-shirts in Taiwan and I feel a bit sorry for those people who are wearing them because I don't think they understand what they say. Among the most interesting ones are ones with swear words, ones with very poor English, and one that said "Summer Nudist Camp". Our favorite, though, was a friend wearing one that said, "Handsome" without realizing what it even said.
Hi Holly,
If you get a chance, sneak some pictures of people wearing t-shirts with poor english. I'll post them here for everyone's amusement.
I hope you and Matt are well.
