I would sorta wear that one, but the concepts is really old might have to wait a few more years to be able to wear something like that and be funny again

The days before Google ate the internet were scary and uncertain times.

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '09 at 5:34pm

Hamster.

Krimson on Jul 21 '09 at 5:35pm

I never used jeeves, but I always liked him because he seemed like a suave, cool guy who knew what the hell he was doing. I mean just look at that fucking suit and his confident expression. I'm amazed he never surpassed google.

Krimson on Jul 21 '09 at 5:36pm

OH MAN! IRC!

Those were the days!

dudes. i had a 6 digit ICQ number that i sold on ebay for $250 ! ! !

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '09 at 5:39pm

WHAT? oh man...i should look my shit up

SuperRyan on Jul 21 '09 at 5:40pm

Meme?

ir0cko on Jul 21 '09 at 5:41pm

i don't even remember my ICQ number.

i rarely touch/wear The Internet by olly now. it just sits on my shelf, but i wore it a lot when i first got it. :)

Krimson on Jul 21 '09 at 5:41pm

You can sell those? for real? Man, I wish I still knew mine.

fatheed on Jul 21 '09 at 5:42pm

I would probably still wear Olly's because apart from being a cool graphic (and super nerdy), the most prominent elements are still quite relevant now. Plus - it's more about the internet as a whole rather than one fad.

The Goatsee one is just... wrong. I actually used it as an example in a discussion to someone the other day as to why I didn't think 3KCM would have any longevity.

I remember getting exited about trying to get my computer onto the internet in 1996. I had no idea what it did, but it involved a lot of listening to that strange modem dialing tone. It was the sound of the future.

I'll never forget my ICQ number. Good times. oh-oh!

fatheed on Jul 21 '09 at 5:46pm

I could never get my head around ICQ. Too many codes to learn and too many strange protocols.

skaw on Jul 21 '09 at 5:47pm

I think the goatse tee got reprinted a couple of times though. It's interesting... even though Threadless is really heavily art skewed, I feel there is still room for designs every now and then that may not be designed the greatest, but are a great joke or relevant for a lot of people or have a strong message, etc. A lot of people wear graphic tees as a form of self expression, not always about the art for some people.

Krimson on Jul 21 '09 at 5:47pm

I remember covering my computer in pillows and t-shirts to block out the modem noise so my parents wouldn't hear. Man, I miss the 90's.

d3d on Jul 21 '09 at 5:55pm

I feel there is still room for designs every now and then that may not be designed the greatest, but are a great joke or relevant for a lot of people or have a strong message, etc.

that's true, but the fact that design is now officially the highest scoring (and therefore best) design on threadless and will be for god knows how long really kills me.

i'd love to know some stats, like where all those voters came from, how many signed up just to vote on it, and how many clicked $ with no intention of ever buying it.

i respect the skill of the artist, but i find it butt ugly for the same reason as i found the original wolf shirt butt ugly.

rodrigobhz on Jul 21 '09 at 5:55pm

I like funny tees. Actually, I love funny tees. The good ones. :)

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jul 21 '09 at 5:59pm

I never had the internet until 2001, and I have no idea what the hell you kids are talking about.

rodrigobhz on Jul 21 '09 at 6:00pm

ps: OMG, I just googled GOATSE cuz I don't get the joke/design... Geez, hahahha... disgusting :P

fatheed on Jul 21 '09 at 6:32pm

fatheed on Jul 21 '09 at 5:46pm

I could never get my head around ICQ...

Wait. I meant mIRC.

SuperRyan on Jul 21 '09 at 6:53pm
