There are just way too many good ones though, and honestly, none of them really seem all that much more prominent than the others. I would have also loved, "If you are Scottish law, then I am Mickey Mouse!!" That line always cracks me up, ha ha.

Killer shirt ORabbit! Absolutely well deserved!

Excellent shirt, wasn't the line "If you are a Scottish Lord.."?

Ouch! That's just cold man.

I always looked forward to the "Wear this shirt ... Don't wear this shirt ... etc." bit. Sometimes I read the write-ups just for that. Anyone know why it was dropped (other than that it was too taxing on the old creativity muscle)?

Soooooo close. I would have bought this tee were it not for the thing in the bottom right, which I've never heard or seen before. What's wrong with "Phone home," "I hate snakes," or "Where's the beef"? So, so close, but I can't buy it as is.

Again, none of those are things learned, just quotes.

AWESOME! First place is sort of a big deal man.

Gratz on the win Orion- well deserved...

Congrats on your first derby win! Hopefully you have many more.

IMHO the design would have been better off with "Why did it have to be snakes?".

To me, "if someone asks if your a god, you say yes" seems more of a general lesson.

Congrats, orabbit! Good use of text and graphics on this design.

I haven't bought a shirt in awhile, but I think I might have to get this.

I think the Jehovah line was a good one to pick, even though it's not as quoted, since it is an actual movie "lesson."

Very nice shirt. And the Jehovah line probably seals the deal for me. Great choice

(and yes, for whoever asked above, it's "if your a Scottish Lord, then I'm mickey mouse")

LOVE!!! I love this shirt! I have so many t-shirts already...I would love this even more if we could choose to buy it in a sweatshirt! I can never have too many sweatshirts

Great shirt! In case you want to watch the movie clips for each....

Geography fail. That's not the whole Asian continent - the middle east is missing.

So are Japan, the Phillipines, and Indonesia. But you got the point, didn't you? And re: "If someone asks if you're a god, you say yes.", I had that in a draft, but the quote I went with is shorter and more iconic, IMO.

I have never clicked "I want one" faster in my life. True story!

No, it just makes me feel old.
You were born when Bush 1 was still in office, I was born when LBJ was.. Yikes.

Thats quality right there. I knew the references but this shirt made me want to see them all again! Well done!

I want a margarita, and I want it now!

Well, I'm good with 9 out of 10... not a Dirty Dancing fan. But the shirt still rocks, and I love explaining pop-culture references to clueless people.

I wooted.

To be fair land wars in the middle east are amongst the most ill-advised.

Technically, "There is no try" comes from "Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back"

A little disappointed Wargames is not represented. "The Only Winning Move is not to Play" would have been an awesome addition.

As a teenager of the 1980s, I easily understood every reference. Nice! Also, surprised there was no Breakfast Club or Pretty In Pink reference.

Nice design.

Another of my favorite movies growing up..

Every thing I need to know in life I learned from 80's movies.

Good call and great movie.

Excellent design!

My 10 year old got the IJ quote, but none of the others. Time to Netflix. I am failing as a mother.

It would be impossible to include every 80's lesson on the shirt, but I feel this one was an important one!

Either I've never seen a particular movie from the 90s, or the write-up is just a funny aside.

With that in mind I did indeed come up with a list for the 90s:

1. A déjà vu is usually a glitch.

2. You don't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister."

3. American components, Russian Components, are all made in Taiwan.

4. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

5. It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom.

6. One of the good things about Paris: lots of girls willing to take their clothes off.

7. There is No need to go heeled to get the bulge on a tub like you.

8. If The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

9. Stupid is as stupid does.

10. Liver is best served with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

DANG YOU WOOT!! My boycott came to a screeching halt! In for dos.

Nice! Now put it in a shirt and I'll definitely buy it.

In Hebrew the first letter is a yud-y sound, when transliterated into Greek, which has no y sound, it became a j.

You know the answer, so why did you ask?

I sure hope so, because I'm doing the same thing as a product of the same year. I particularly commend anyone who will reference Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Party on, dudes.

Blade2000 wrote:As a teenager of the 1980s, I easily understood every reference. Nice! Also, surprised there was no Breakfast Club or Pretty In Pink reference.

I totally agree. There should have been a John Hughes quote. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Congrats Orabbit !! Well deserved ! Great shirt and great design.

Congrats on the win, orabbit!
