And so goes most conversations in bars or clubs where the
ambient noise level would put a jet engine to sleep.
The Word Shirt comes in many styles, but the common
feature
is its vocabulary. On the front are a set of words chosen
by
the wearer - words that they might need in conversation,
but
can't adequately represent by hand signals or mouthing. On
the back is a list of random words, for the benefit of others
in
close proximity. Communication is aided, obviously, by
pointing
at these words - either on your own shirt, or that of
someone
nearby.
On the sleeves are listed various alchoholic beverages - a
standard list of drinks on the left (beers, spirits, etc), and
specific brands, strengths, cocktails etc on the right. (These
can be in much smaller type than the words on the front,
since the wearer will be close to the bar when ordering.)

I don't understand why guys always look at my chest when I'm talking to them. |
|
| |
I have seen t-shirts with a set of letters etc that you can arrange into sentences. not sure how they attached themselves though! |
|
| |
As a modification to this, why not use heat sensitive fabric, so you could write your own words on the shirt. Then when you meet a hot date, just write your phone number with your finger across her chest. If shes not interested she can rub it out by rubbing her chest with her hand, or yours. oops. didnt mean to write that bit. |

Nice. Reminds of a nutcase I saw on telly. He was a japanese man who makes his living by inventing near-useless but fun bits and bobs (sounds familiar). He had invented a t shirt with a reference grid on the back to aid with back scratching. Then all you have to say is "A4, oooh, ooh, oooh, B16" instead of "upabit, upabit, nooo downabit, acrossabit". |

[po], a fashion junky friend of mine had one. Good old Velcro, I think. |
|
| |
I know they sell shirts that say "STFU" on them, and thats really all of my point-and-read needs all in one statement ... |

San Francisco University? |

I like that velco shirt. The possibilities are endless. |
|
| |
Limited only by the wearer's geometry. |
|
| |
Well, technically, that's what we all are... |
|

In the same range: The Excel shirt helps
you add up prices of drinks in bars,
forecast how many more drinks you can
afford, etc. |
|
| |
[hippo], same "range"? "Excel"? No pun intended, I'm sure. |
|
| |
yeah, I'll have one of those... say wat? + |
|
| |
And on the bottom of your shoes : "CALL" and "TAXI". |
|
| |
I really like the idea of the drink names on the arms :-) |
|
| |
Damn fine idea! I know a printing place near here, I'm off to bake this! |
|
| |
like the shindogu reference squeek. |
|
| |
A follow on from Bobbles idea, someting like an etch-a-scetch!
Yeah she has to shake it to rub it out! ;)) (Shake it baby) |
