I have a shirt that says "Don't Drink and Derive" that I usually wear on the first day of graduate statistics

What about a shirt like the one Pete is showing above but no shamrock and instead of Hooligan, it just read MATH
I dunno, I think that would be kind of cool (not for kids but for guys our age). it's like we're making a statement.
Random person: WTF? Math? For real? What's that supposed to mean?
me: I dunno, I just like math. More than, say, Abercrombie & Fitch. Math has been good to me, that's all.

See, that's something I wouldn't like. It's cute and stuff but it's trying to be subversive and is more of a nudgenudgewinkwink to other people who did well in Calculus.
Whereas think of what a statement a black t-shirt with bold white print on it, 'MATH' would say. I love this idea. I hope someone steals it. I'll buy that shirt. It would be a neat idea against this stupid wave of anti-intellectualism going around. If you tried any of this stuff with Science, I think some people would think you were being anti-religion and that's not the message you're making at all.

I still like the T shirt saying "Stand back, I'm about to do Science!"

I once wore a Bauhaus shirt to a robot tournament. I was responsible for the hardware, so it did kind of fit.

Well, it is a graduate statistics class -- it isn't like I wear it around the general populace like some kind of jackass.
I'll steal it -- my wife usually makes me a shirt or two a year when I teach grad level courses. Last year, it was just a shirt that said "Who's ready to work?"

I bought a "4 out of 3 people have problems with math" and "Fuck Math. Let it solve it's own problems" shirt for my physicist cousin...but I'm not too much on print T's except around the house (where I spend all the time now). I prefer long sleeve shirts to hide the hideously deformed tat on my right forearm. I've got to get it touched up....

It's gotten to the point that I have trouble sorting The Man's T-shirts form The Spawn's T-shirts when I do the laundry. They both wear shirts with the same nerdy stuff on them. They even shop for shirts together. They also used to build Lego stuff together when The Spawn was younger. So I don't know if what you are experiencing is a mid-life crisis, or if having kids around makes you rediscover the passion for stuff you loved as a kid, and makes you want to share it with your own kids. I say let your kids help you pick out the Lego and T-shirt, and let them pick out one for themselves as well

I recently came home to a parcel from my 11 year old nephew in Edmonton.
I opened it and nearly cried. It was a Star Wars t-shirt with Darth Vader in a telephone booth and some Stormtroopers queuing up outside waiting (for him or the phone, I don't know).
This isn't my kind of humour but the fact that he went to his first Comic Book convention, thought of his geeky Uncle, who he sees every couple of years, and bought this shirt for me trumps ANYTHING.
I'm 43 and I wear that mofo every week with pride (I actually have it on right now).

The only nerd shirts I have are the F:AT one (which I quite like) and one that has a picture of an undead Jesus with a crown of thorns and the words 'Zombie Christ. Eat of my flesh'.
