Love the poster, love the t-shirt.

10/10
-
Oh man. That should be the back cover for Tom's book.
-
Because of the podcast of the movie quote show, he now has Smokey and The Bandit quotes in his arsenal.
We were driving the other day and he says "Turn right daddy, turn left daddy, we'll be in the clear!"

That's the coolest thing ever.
I hadn't seen the shirt - it looks great. And people are embarrassed to wear this thing in public? For shame!
The poster's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, too. Now I really can't wait.
-
It was such a delight to see this, even if I haven't gotten mine yet. I'm told I should be getting it very soon.
-
Totally adorable!
-
12/10. Get it? Like that movie Spinal Tap, only the number is a little bigger!
-
Actually, though, that is so much awesomer than I imagined the t-shirt looking. It's like the hardcore t-shirt of comedy.
-
i'm liking mine better each day. no shame in admitting that, like the best show itself, it took a while for it to grow on me.
went to see boris last night and was hastily scanning the hundreds of t shirts i saw people wearing for a "scar-face" one - but no such luck.

Did you spot any ironic state park or kids camp shirts?
-
There are three awesome things about that picture. Four, if you count the thumbs up.
-

hundreds - dozens, maybe. all three sizes too small i must say.
and LOTS of short shorts - on guys. anyone else witness this phenomenon with the hipster kids in their neck of the woods?

I can't wait for the thousands at Pitchfork fest this weekend. If it's as bad as last year, I think this'll be the last one for me.

I'm headed to Pitchfork and my Scarface T-Shirt is two sizes too small (must have been a mix-up at 'FMU, no big deal). Unfortunately I'm not exactly a skinny hipster and if I wear it I might be confused for Tim Harrington's clean shaven brother.

same problem with me. I'm kind of a bigger dude and I only got a LARGE. I needed an XL. I love the shirt, but I look like an overstuffed eclair in it. My girlfriend is now threatening to steal it from me...

That'll make two of us. Although mine is only one size too small. And I'm not balding yet. And I won't be taking off my clothes.

I wore my "Get Ready to meet ..." t-shirt to a special screening of The Dark Knight on Tuesday 7/15. I thought for sure it would work to either draw any FOT's out of the crowd, or at least cause some head-scratching among the pop-culture fanatics that managed to find their way to this thing.
Nobody even realized that it was a misquote. In fact, while I was being searched by security, one of the event producers said "Cool shirt! Scarface!"
I simply replied, "Thanks, it's a fake T-shirt."
She goes, "Well, it's cool."
Sigh ... I probably should've gotten her phone number.
P.S. No spoilers, but I'll say ONE word about The Dark Knight: This movie was definitely shot on a camera, and it shows.
-
steve, you expected people in the movie industry to be familiar with movies? there was your first mistake.
-

that's what i dread the most about wearing this thing in public. that, and the fact that i'm a larger fella and the shirt hugs me in all the wrong places.
you never call the show any more steve - i miss your antics.
-
and it took folks a bit to get it, then it became a game of reciting the original quote even more incorrectly:
Prepare yourself to become acquainted with my diminutive confederate
Extend salutations to this, my admittedly tiny but close associate
also, the "-" makes that shirt perfect
-
If I was going to that Ted Leo & The Pharmacists show tomorrow, I would totally have worn my Scar-Face shirt. Getting this shirt kinda made my Summer.

I am also a larger fella, and believe me, it hugs in ALL the right ways. ... eeew.
I don't call in much anymore for several reasons ...
1: I've run short of antics.
2: The past two weeks, when I was planning to call in each time, there was no show.
3: There is no 3.
4: I don't want to wear out my welcome ... even more than it already is.
Thank you for your support!
-
I also vote that you call again soon, Steve in New Hampshire!

sure thing, steve.
i don't think you've run short of antics at all, but you may have fallen victim to "orson welles syndrome." by that i mean that first call (your "citizen kane") was so off-the-charts good that everything after is not only unfairly weighed against it, but pales in comparison (through no fault of your own.)
i say you call in to next week's show - a new steve in north hollywood for a new regime.
-
this thread has made me realize that i love the phrase "larger fella."

Having trouble squeezing into t-shirts is also known as "Orson Wells Syndrome".
-
If anyone can find a picture of orson welles in a t-shirt i would love to see it. my search turned up nothing. I think he might be the last man in history to never wear one his whole life.

I'm now tempted to post a picture of myself wearing my white, "Get Ready To Meet ... " t-shirt, while ascending the steps of a pool after a good swim. Fortunately for you, said picture will never exist.

Aw, man!

A good rule of thumb: if it takes you more than 4 seconds to get into or out of a t- shirt, it's too small.

Here's a preview for next year's Mouse of Today pledge level premium.
the Scar-Face leatherette jacket.

So, last night the kid is staying over at his mom's place. A short time after he went to bed, I got a text message from his mom that he is rocking himself to sleep, singing to himself. Singing the Best Show Theme (the more laid back one). Epic.

OK, I forgot Orangewhip had a kid. I thought "The Kid" referred to Tom. Confusing!
I had a feeling that all that arguing with myself in Chinatown was going to have some sort of weird side effect.

...which leads to years of shock treatment to remove The Gorch's values from the poor child's brain.
-
I hope that the other kids think it's funny when he challenges them to chain fights.
-
He really didn't take to The Gorch. He mainly likes Philly Boy Roy, Horse, and Timmy Von Trimble. And he does know that Timmy is a "bad guy".
-
Timmy is a VERY bad guy. Still, some Gorchisms from a tyke would be hilarious.
-
My kid's favorite character is PBR, too. I wonder if it's because he is such a frequent visitor? Or because of the outlandish accent?
Probably it's because he is really funny.
-
I think it's a goofy voice / catchphrase / outlandish stories mix that makes him so appealing to kids. Also, I have a collection of PBR calls on my ipod, so he hears the same ones a lot, which kids are big on. He love talking like Roy, saying "My House, my clothes, my phone, my boat", talking about Perkiomenville, nem cheesesteaks. His #1 favorite thing is to do the hoagie breakdown from Rambocky (foot long, ham, provolone...)

Sorry to bump an old thread, but where can I get that shirt?

Sadly, the only way to get one was to pledge during the 2008 Pledge Drive. But who knows, maybe Tom has some extras lying around.
I can't believe there are two threads with the exact same title.
