Care to explain what it exactly says. I'm unable to make out all the words.

I'd be more willing to correct the white guy on his choice in colors. Wink

t shirts here are great. i was walking home the other day, and a mother was holding her 5 yearish old's hand, and her shirt said..."single means i can mingle." but that was in sparkly pink lettering, so it's ok.

There are lots of t-shirt threads, but rightly so--just today I saw an ajuma wearing "The Beatles" (doubt she knows who they are) and an ajoshi wearing "World Without Strangers". Laughing

She looks utterly stunning from the back. The white guy is fashion disaster.

I once saw a t-shirt that read "At your funeral I open your casket and take a peak". That was the weirdest shirt I've ever seen.

Creepy fluorescent-pastel foreigner street stalks. Nice.

But I guess it's only fair after all these years of Koreans bible-thumping and grammar-ganging all of us: fight the good fight Toad and soon they'll all turn tail when they see us strolling down the dong. Rolling Eyes

By the way gang, do you think this guy knows what his hat says?

I don't know if he knows what it means, but with his job, I'm quite sure he's fully familiar with the concept... Laughing

Isn't that a punk group? Didn't know they were popular with older Korean men.

My favorite is:

If you had a rich boyfriend
He'd give you diamonds and rubies.
Well, maybe next year you will
When you have bigger boobies.

Oh, that's right, I already posted that one.
Here is a similar thread:

I don't know what's better: the old man wearing the suicidal tendencies hat or the throngs of adjummas I see with ramones t-shirts.
