Canada Owes Me

About the design

Submitted by whirzle1 on October 27, 2005

This shirt is really about my frustration with the gumball machine at the video store down the street. It WILL NOT accept Canadian quarters. (?) The video store person REFUSES to give out \"real\" (her word) quarters in exchange for \"foregin currency.\" (again...her words)

Haha. I like this shirt. Its just bizarre and weird, you would wear it and people would be like, "say what?" and then they would ask you the story behind it and you could make up all kinds of junk. That would be fun.

Mangold

why can only fatties wear it?

well...I figure they print XL tshirts, too...so it might be nice to recognize the big man.

greenfoo

but the big man has big man boobies! LOL cool shirt though

sintax

SemantiTheft

Halarious message... but I'd really like it if it weren't so rest stop gift shop-y.

Love for the fat man, that's great! I wish they'd recognize that some of us are XS too! I love the shirt and the story behind it, that's fantastic! Love it on the dark blue :)

helo

I chuckle thinking about the put down
on Canada by mentioning REAL quarters.
So the design is good with its humor,
but I can't find a decent reason for the
the blue arrow around the Canadian
quarter to exist. Am I missing something?

well the bluse arrow is kinda like that joke that goes, "What like (fill i nthe blank) and has two thumbs? THIS guy!"

So think of the big blue arrow as a graphic metaphor for some really annoying guy's thumbs.

Awesome... never been to Canada, but awesome!

I screwed that up...it goes,"What has two thumbs and (fill in the blank). THIS guy!"

...I'm not so great with the jokes.

murffels

make this shirt happen

nogoodpeacenik

Oh this is nice. It'll make a nice three dollar shirt sold in gas stations at highway rest stops and drugstores like Walgreens. But I sure as crap hope threadless isn't the one responsible for its printing. This shit is too good in for the internet! It needs to go bring up the bar in a bargain bin somewhere!

My Walgreens only sells tshirts with motorcycles, eagles and that old lady from the Hallmark cards that's always talking about menopause and chocolate. But yeah, you're right. This shirt is supposed to be kinda kitsch-y/campy...

I hate it when I buy something and I get a Canadian quarter back in my change. Ssometimes people don't care, but those blasted gumball machines! My friend is living in Montreal right now, he'd love it.

kayetea
