Shirt.Woot

wow, another pyle shirt so soon???

It appears that, on this day, the pencil is mightier than the sword.

I figured Number 9 would be in the shape of John Lennon.

what exactly is number 12?

oh brother...so much for thrusday.

I want to see how No. 8 gets sharpened....

Is No. 9 the Loch Ness Monster?

I believe it's a lightsaber.

Number Eleven is a plane. Hmmm, not sure if I like the 9/11 reference.

nightsechos182 wrote:what exactly is number 12?

Yeah, that's what I want to know. Almost looks like there's lines around the eraser to indicate it's vibrating? The pic is too small to tell if it's a sex toy. That's the kind of thing I'd want to be sure about before ordering one for my kid.

edit: Ok, I see it now, lightsaber. Thanks to those with better eyes. :::picks mind up out of the gutter:::

I could represent the 937. But I think I will pass.

a lightsaber.

Sorry...12 years of public education taught me to "associate" something else, besides a pencil, when someone says "No. 2?"

I think number nine is just a dinosaur...? pretty clever t-shirt, I just don't think I would wear it.

Ahh I see it now.

On another note, number 8 has a dinky eraser!

In all seriousness, I would love to have a pencil in the shape of a combat knife.

Are you sure that 12 years of childish stupidity taught you to associate "No. 2" with something other than a pencil?

These are just random shapes...right? If this is a reference to something it's going completely over my head.

I like Number 8... but it would not be valid on exams.

A plane in a nosedive, no less.

Wish I could take my scantron exams with a #12 pencil.

Number 9 looks like a Turkey Banana hybrid. BANANA GOBBLER PERHAPS?? Wait.....

Personally, I like that No. 10 is a knife... kind of a play on "The pen is mightier than the sword"... So it stands to reason "The pencil is mightier than the knife"

he doesn’t seem to know too much about pencils.

Don't jump to such rash conclusions. I'm fairly certain that this is simply his pencil collection.

Has anyone noticed that #11 is a plane?
Maybe I'm just over-analyzing, but that's a bad idea for anyone who gets it.

IT also works with this shirt

I so need this shirt I'm always bringing my number 8 battle axe to standardized test and then I have to borrow one and it's so embarrassing. The one you borrow is never sharp and you have to stand there at the sharpening wheel infront of everyone while they start their tests.

That's what I saw too. Just wondering if it was an accident or on purpose.

Well thats just funny.

i don't get it...

and the whole 9/11 thing is in pretty bad taste

No wonder standardized tests only allow No. 2 pencils. I think I'd be too worried the kid next to me with a No. 7 or No. 10 was getting ready to attack me for my answers to focus on the test. Further No. 1 or No. 4 could totally make passing notes easier.

They're pencils in amusing shapes.

Not every shirt is a reference, or otherwise contains something to "get".

I'm fairly sure that airplanes and 9/11 are not mutually attached. Since the pencil is #11, and not #911, you all are just being easily-offended nitwits.

I'm glad I have a pocket protector.

Redux of the "We Rule the Air" hullabaloo, much?

I don't get how "Nessie" (9) is related to a jet (11).

If number 10 were a real pencil, I would use it exclusively.

'Cuz they're not.

I'd say it's more akin to the Abe-racadabra hullabaloo, where a tall man with a tall hat pulling out a tall giraffe as a magic trick was somehow racist, because lincoln freed slaves and giraffes are african
