roadrunnertwiceOk, so I own a handful of t-shirts that routinely get comments. Dorothy Gambrell's off-model Russian Bart Simpson shirt is a perennial winner, as is the one with the playing card king and the graffiti tag art that says "FOYER." And the one with the swifts.
But the attention when I'm wearing my Mets shirt is something else entirely. The weird shirts just start normal conversations, but when people see a Mets shirt, they grab a shiv and go straight for the pride.
Usually it's something like "Whoa, there's a bold one, wearing a Mets shirt in September." One time, outside the Doug Fir, these two people walk past me, and when they're about ten feet behind me, one of them busts out laughing and says "For a second I thought that guy's shirt said 'Mets!'"
I have no idea how any of you actual Mets fans put up with this nonsense.
