In the interest of finding places to put stuff, I've decided to spend my Tuesday evening going through every article of clothing that I have here in this house. What I have found is that, it's true, I've been to enough cool events and had such excellent taste in my life that I have WAY too many excellent "shirts as mementos" to want to get rid of much. Here's an inventory, including some non-t-shirts:
- Tim Hardaway #10 blue Golden State Warriors jersey
- Chris Mullin 1992 USA Basketball "Dream Team" blue jersey
- Middle-Earth CCG "Lidless Eye" t-shirt
- 1995 NBA All-Star Game (Phx, AZ) t-shirt
- Free promo t-shirts from various sports card companies (Upper Deck, Playoff, more)
- Chicago White Sox gray baseball jersey, with 1991 "New Comiskey Park Inaugural Season" patch
- Another White Sox jersey... a hockey jersey
- New Edition reunion tour t-shirt, U2 Popmart tour t-shirt, and several other concert tees I won't mention (Billy Joel and Elton John? I didn't actually pay for this, did I?)
- Emmitt Smith blue Cowboys authentic jersey (boo Cowboys, yay Emmitt)
- Authentic (read: expensive) Vancouver Canucks jerseys: Black Bure #10, White Bure #96
- Arizona State University t-shirts featuring places to get drunk that have very long-since been shut down by the cops for serving underage alcohol to minors... the original Dash Inn on Apache Blvd? Cluck U. Chicken Company, now known as Acme? Good stuff!
- Assorted C/TCG t-shirts, such as shirts for each Wars TCG faction, dAgent, dGamer, .hack//Enemy prize shirts, DGMA Judge t-shirt, Spycraft CCG, L5R, more randomness
- Islanders 1993 Eastern Conference Champs t-shirt (shoulda been cup champs... DAMN YOU, DALE HUNTER)
- Knicks 1994 Eastern Conference Champs t-shirt (shoulda been world champs... DAMN YOU, JOHN STARKS! And you too, Hakeem Olajuwan, who said you could be the best basketball player in the world after Jordan retired {the first time}?)
- A Big East college basketball t-shirt, circa the mid-1980's, featuring the St. John's Red MEN, etc. We're talking the oldest of old school here
- Awesome t-shirt of Fat Albert, AND the ENTIRE Junkyard Gang!
- Assorted vacation souvenier shirts from trips I never took, mostly from ex-girlfriends. For better or worse, none of them still smell like any of my ex-girlfriends.
- My personal favorite, my UPS t-shirt from when I worked loading some trucks on the overnight shift for about 2 weeks. Good times... I think. Don't really remember it.
The question is, HOW DO I THROW ANY OF THESE OUT? I lubs 'em too much. *sigh* This inability to get rid of clothing reminders of days gone by is a relatively recent phenomenon that's creeped up in males around my age, and I'm totally biting into it.
No matter what, the Big East one is staying.

I'm in teh same boat. I pretty much have 1 of every Tshirt D ever made (for every game, yes, even the hard to get Shawn Valdez ones). I can't seem to want to get rid of them. Maybe I can sell them to a dealer.
My question is how can you love ALL of those shirts so much, when there are numerous ones you don't even wear? I don't think I've ever seen you wear a Shi shirt, and after Tuttle made fun of me for wearing it at the first WARS tournament, I have no doubt you never will.
Oooobviously you do not understand the situation, Hayden: WEARING the shirts has nothing to do with it :P
I appreciate you keeping a census on what I wear... but I promise you, Mark Tuttle has absolutely no influence on my wardrobe whatsoever!
Hello,
Would you be willing to part with the Middle-earth CCG "Lidless Eye" T-shirt? And if so, would you be willing to send it overseas (I live in France)?
Thanks for your time.

Hope to be hearing from you soon,
Adrian
