I'd say "I don't get it," but then I'd just be setting myself up for a bunch of flacid insults from elitists who think the shirt hilarious.

[The_Rorschach]

I don't get it, and I'll talk any snide remarks with a shit eating grin so long as someone explains it to me.

Too lazy for a Google.

[Matt Harty]

I don't get it.

[Perndog]

I don't get it. Not too lazy for a Google, but it's more fun hearing someone rant about it than looking it up.

[liquidstatik]

Same as the rest. :( :/

JOHN GALT, FAMOUS AUTHOR WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A PARTICULAR BOOK THAT CAPITALISTS LIKE TO READ. :picklehat

[KevinTheOmnivore]

I'm ready to start a "OAO needs a girlfriend" campaign. Anybody with me...?

[Perndog]

I got your back, Kevin.

[FS]

I get it. Wearing this shirt will make you feel incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable, because it means nothing to the whole world minus five people.

This is why I have a closet full of t-shirts that read such hilarious phrases as "tiki tiki weeya boo", "it is NOT an asparagus" and "fuck you, Louis Pasteur".

[The One and Only...]

ATLAS SHRUGGED? NEVER HEARD OF ATLAS SHRUGGED? GO LOOK IT UP ON SPARKNOTES!!!

[Zhukov]

Go on, tell us.

[Supafly345]

John Galt didn't write Atlas Shrugged. He is too manly.

[The One and Only...]

John Galt was a character from Atlas Shrugged, which is a fictional book by Ayn Rand. He represented her view of what would make up the optimal human being - rational, and utterly selfish.

"Who is John Galt?" is a famous rhetorical question from the novel. Take the shirt to a Marx convention, and have fun gauging the leftist's reactions.

[Zhukov]

Probably: "I don't get it."

I've never heard of the dude or the book, and I was at the last Marx convention.

[Protoclown]

I hear that "Atlas Shrugged" sucks a fat one.

[Supafly345]

The rumors were true.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

I remember when the skater punks and goths in my school first learned how to be introspective and pseudo-intellectuals. They all had those patches and shit. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, people wear that often like they wear Che t-shirts. Often void of real meaning.

However, this reminds me, "The Passion of Ayn Rand" is a pretty cool movie. Go rent it. >:

[The One and Only...]

What I really want is the libertarian t-shirt. That is, my friends, beautiful. It even mentions the Davis-Bacon Act.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Maybe Santa will make a note of that.....

[sspadowsky]

Is it my imagination, or is OAO just about to disappear up his own ass?

[El Blanco]

The best shirt I ever saw was on the bartender at the dive I went to last night. She had a smoking body and the shirt left little to the imagination. I totally approved of it.

If you watch Elimidate( loser) she won the episode that aired saturday night.

[Dole]

The best shirt I saw was in the pub on friday night- a bloody huge bloke wearing a shirt that said 'I fucked your boyfriend'.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

Best shirt...was printed in Latin "If you can read this, you're over-educated"

[mburbank]

Here's a shirt for you:

"I'm an arrogant, smug, superior wiener and the only way I know to feel okay about myself is to drop literary/scholarly references and then be shocked when you don't know what I'm talking about."

And on the back it could say

"Oh, please God,don't let me be wrong that I'm smarter than you, it's all I have"

[Cosmo Electrolux]

well, well, well, Burbank, who pissed in your cornflakes?

[mburbank]

Psuedo intellectuals have ever been the piss in my cornflakes.

[FartinMowler]

I didn't like Atlas Shrugged but Anthem was cool.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

Psuedo intellectuals have ever been the piss in my cornflakes.

I thought about you while I was getting coffee at Barnes and Noble bookstore....I thought, "Max would go apeshit in here"...full of the "Intelligensia" of North Alabama....

[mburbank]

Everyone in my family is way more knowledgeable than I. The first college I went to (Reed) was mostly people way more knowledgeable than I. Most of the really really smart people I have known don't feel the need to constantly drop little hintlets about how well read they are and how very, very much they know.

Sharon Stone describes herself as "Fiercely Intelligent".

Albert Einstein rarely felt compelled to tell people he was smart.

[sspadowsky]

Haha. I think she meant to say that she is "fiercely self-absorbed." No, wait. Someone as fiercely intelligent as she would never confuse the two.

Right?

[Cosmo Electrolux]

If someone has tells you that they're intelligent, you're probably already made up your mind anyway.

[The One and Only...]

Who said I'm intelligent?

[mburbank]

"Most of the really really smart people I have known don't feel the need to constantly drop little hintlets about how well read they are and how very, very much they know. "

-Me

"ATLAS SHRUGGED? NEVER HEARD OF ATLAS SHRUGGED? GO LOOK IT UP ON SPARKNOTES!!!"
-You

[mburbank]

"The 10th Amendment. It alone should be reason enough to roll back the federal government."
-You.

[The One and Only...]

That only has to do with knowledge, not intelligence.

[Perndog]

The two things that Pseudo-intellectuals most often confuse for one another.

[mburbank]

As (fill in a name I bet you don't know) once famously said (an implication that you ought to know), (Name of another person I'm pretty sure you've never heard of) knows less about (field I bet yopur not well versed in) than (Name of another person I'm pretty sure you've never heard of) knows about Knitting.

It all reminds me of (Book I bet you haven't heard of). What are your thoughts?

[-+(CNA)+-]

meh

[The_Rorschach]

As Glenn Danzig once famously said "If you're bound and you're gagged, draped and displayed -Would you still love me anyway?" GG Allin knows less about snuff films than Johnny Rotten knows about Knitting.

It all reminds me of Strawberry Shortcut and the Muffin Mystery. What are your thoughts?

[Perndog]

I thought everyone knew who Glenn Danzig and Johnny Rotten were, though.

[The_Rorschach]

WELL OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO BE OBSCURE BUT AT LEAST I'M TRYING

[Cosmo Electrolux]

[quote="The_Rorschach"]As Glenn Danzig once famously said "If you're bound and you're gagged, draped and displayed -Would you still love me anyway?" quote]

Um....Glen Danzig never said that....it was Mike Graves...misfits post Danzig.

[Perndog]

See now Mike Graves is less known than Danzig, so he would work....

[Cosmo Electrolux]

Plus, Danzig is a douchbag, and Graves is actually a pretty decent guy...

[Perndog]

I mostly know (and care about) music, not personalities. Axl Rose is a dick and Bono is a philanthropist, but I'd still rather listen to GNR than U2 any day. ;)

We totally hijacked this thread. :pirate

[The_Rorschach]

I couldn't remember Grave's first name. I thought it was Justin to be quite honest.

I decided to use Glenn since it would get the point across without requiring a Google. "Helena" is the best Misfits song ever. :)

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I knew where you were coming from ;) ;)
