      Is #3 a Motor Ace album cover?

    2. May 29, 2009 1:07 pm

      #1 a Superjesus tshirt making a reference to Sumo and to one of their own releases?

      #1 80′s Funk Superjesus Albums

      That’s Sumo the sport by the way, and Sumo their album.

      Also, yesterday you said I had 3 points…. my missing point might be under the couch.

      I’ll fix that now. Dave

      #2 just looks like a well-worn generic surfer brand…

    6. May 29, 2009 1:14 pm

      Two points to Matt and three to 100flowers.

    7. May 29, 2009 1:15 pm

      Nope, #2 is most certainly not a generic surfer brand.

    8. May 29, 2009 1:44 pm

      Current theory then is that #2 is a geek reference to internet surfing, but that doesn’t really explain the words I THINK I see written on it.

      Ray: 1

      Dave are you deliberately winding me up? Or did you just forget that I bullied you into an extra point?

      As for the Ts, hey, I agree with another comment – I do not own one single T-shirt that has a logo on it. Well, correction, I have a Saints T-shirt from 1995. I think we finished last that year, which is where I’m going to come here. I’ve no idea whatsoever of what they are about.

      Let’s move on to something slightly more riveting, like trainspotting.

      As odd as it is, Ray, t-shirts are actually a bit of a phenomena.

      There’s magazines devoted to tshirt designs:
      http://www.t-shirtmagazine.com/
      http://www.magnation.com/online-v2/Tworld-The-Journal-Of-Tshirt-Culture-328.php

      Social networking sites:
      http://www.threadless.com/

      Sites that will sell your design on a tshirt
      http://www.redbubble.com/

      It’s weird, but it’s there.

      Oh crap – I’m as cool as Ray:(

    12. May 29, 2009 2:35 pm

      Lee, I’ve suspected that for some time, but I haven’t had the heart to tell you.

    13. May 29, 2009 2:55 pm

      Class requires no description, ergo logos on Ts = very uncool.

      Dave – does it count if I guess number 2 given I actually bought the shirt for you at the (as yet un-)said bands concert?

    15. May 29, 2009 6:28 pm

      Al, you are more than welcome to guess number 2. In fact, have a point for ‘guessing’ that you bought it for me.

      No problems…Pearl Jam – Yield Tour 1999. Shirt bought at Brisbane show. Awesome gig.

      Do you know, if you put Sumo Superjesus t-shirt into Google, this page comes up as the third link.

    18. May 29, 2009 9:56 pm

      I have some bad news for you Alex, you get a point for identifying that it’s a Pearl Jam shirt, but it can’t have been 1999 because you got it for me before I moved to Albury.

      I think I look pretty damn fine in this attempt to garner some extra bonus super duper points.

      Mate – was def Yield tour… Might have been late 1998…

      Oh… And 100Flowers wears the Whitlams shirt a damn side better than you Dave!

      Don’t you own any decent band’s Ts Dave? Stones, Doors, Beatles .. that sort of stuff? What about The Who? I’d even recognise these (more recent) bands: Hoodoo Gurus, Matchbox 20, ColdPlay (see, I’m not that uncool).

    24. May 30, 2009 7:17 pm

      Matchbox 20? Are you trying to be docked points?

    25. May 30, 2009 8:29 pm

      What’s wrong with Matchbox 20? Do you have a “disease”?
