hell, i'm jealous that you got a target nearby. my closest target is over 50 miles. and yeah, i got a walmart, but i really hate walmart.....

thats why the only time i'll buy an hd t shirt is if i am on vacation somewhere and stop in at the dealership. i don't even own one from my 'local' hd (55 miles one way) i figure if i can afford to take a vacation, i can afford a t shirt. needless to say, i don't take vacations very often either ;D

Hell where did you buy it? Px? Like a $1.50 here for the large one.
It's one of the mini bics next to the portable tequila packs.

I used to work for a very big advertising agency in northern California named Bozell & Jacobs. Companies like Harley-Davidson, Paramount Pictures, Kay's Jewelers, and Bridgestone Tires paid that company millions of dollars to advertise their products. Thats how it works, companies PAY to advertise their products. And they laugh themselves silly if they can get some idiot to actually PAY THEM to advertise their product. I met an executive from the Tony Hawk company who said 'who needs billboards and tv when we have 1 out of 10 kids in America paying us to put our name on their shirt'. So yeah, excuse me if I think its rather idiotic to pay to advertise for a company. That said, I do have a few Harley shirts, Im wearing one right now my sister bought for me in Cancun, but even that one didn't cost $28.
Are you saying your sister is an idiot?

No, I am pretty certain the one she got me in Mexico is not exactly an officially licensed product of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company Inc. since it only cost her about a buck fifty from a guy walking down the beach.

Seeing how emotional some folks get about me buying a $28 T-shirt, I'm gonna buy half a dozen this weekend. I will get some satisfaction in knowing some random guy in the internet thinks I'm a moron and another guy thinks I'm an idiot.

I usually buy the nice button up shirts instead of t-shirts now though.

If I worried what others thought, I'd have to go nekkid like IAMSWUTIAMS.
You can't wear anything and not hear how out of style is it on this forum.
