    When I went to Japan on holiday I wore this shirt. Good times!

    Hehe, I’ve actually been tempted to buy that shirt from time to time (the one in the OP). Describes me perfectly. X)

    Recently I’ve gotten into making my own “witty” phrase shirts in Japanese. Mostly for my own amusement and because I just don’t think I look like a big enough weeaboo yet.

    I scrawl all over them in deliberately sloppy handwriting with fabric pens. I made one what says: “俺のシャツはこんなに渋いわけがない”. It managed to get a few laughs.

    Man, I don’t understand why everyone is acting surprised all of a sudden. You have seen missingno here before right?

    @Gigatron – you should get it! Only don’t wear it out unless you’re ready for the reactions – it was pretty full on.

    What does the one you made say? (I don’t know the kanji).

    @vanandrew: I should, I just love shirts like that. The few people I know that could read it would probably get a kick out of it as well.

    Mine says “There’s no way my shirt is this cool”, the shirt itself being a plain white cotton shirt with the above crudely scrawled upon it in red.

    @gigatron – That’s cool!
    I love this stuff too, I’ve quite a few from the engrish site, some touch a nerve a bit though (such as the “I hate myself and want to die!” shirt).

    One thing that struck me about wearing that in Japan was in stood out so much purely because it was written in Japanese. Nobody wears clothing with Japanese text on it, only English.
