Today's (well I saw it yesteday which is even more apt!) T-Shirt Of The Day was spotted in Konedobu, on my way home:

Your Rights at Work

Not amusing at all. Very serious, in fact. For more information on such an important issue look here. Particularly appropriate, considering thousands of people were rallying yesterday. Today's T-Shirt Of The Day scores 10/10 in the category, 'Let's all internationally tell Howard how much he sucks'.

Btw, today is World AIDS Day. Support it. Now. Please.

T-Shirt Of The Day

Wandering around the university today, I saw a doozie of a T-Shirt:

Jog for Jugs

What does this mean? I can not say. Where did he get it? I do not know. Why is he wearing it? I do not understand. Today's T-Shirt Of The Day scores a 9/10 in the category 'so totally random I just can't figure it out'.

At long last...

Today's T-Shirt Of The Day was a bright yellow that was easily spotted at Jackson's Airport, Port Moresby:

Positive people don't put others down

(with a big red arrow pointing down)

Interesting. This t-shirt could have all sorts of double meanings... It receives a 7/10 in the category, 'School Camp Cast-Offs'.

T-Shirt Of The Day

I saw today's t-shirt of the day about a week ago (yes, not today, but i only just remembered) out of a car window. Very impressive:

Stop VSU

This refers to the Voluntary Student Unionism legislation that was passed in Australia last year. Considering that PNG doesn't seem to have student unionism (not that I've noticed at the university, any way) let alone voluntary student unionism, I was truly impressed. Today's t-shirt of the day scores 9/10 in the category 'random political campaign that didn't happen in this country'.

T-Shirt Of The Day

Today's t-shirt of the day was actually spotted yesterday... but you can't have two t-shirts on one day, can you? Anyway, it was travelling away from me on a student who obviously didn't understand the magnitude of his t-shirt:

John Farnham Chain Reaction Tour 1990/91

Wow. That would have to be a collector's item. It receives 6.5/10 in the category 'Golly gosh, that tour was 16 years ago and he's still going!'.

T-Shirt Of The Day

Today's T-Shirt Of The Day travelled past me on an unsuspecting man as I was eating lunch at a cafe in town:

$2 picture CD

I don't know what it meant, or where it came from, but it scores a 9.5/10 in the category 'generally random'.

T-Shirt Of The Day

Today's t-shirt of the day is being worn by an unsuspecting student:

The Great Victorian Bike Ride 2002

Pretty impressive, huh? I'm not really sure if this individual has participated in the actual event, or if they have ever been to Victoria but that's not the point. This t-shirt receives a 6.5/10 in the category 'completely random events that occurred in other countries'.

T-Shirt Of The Day

Today as I was sticking posters on noticeboards beckoning/ordering students to my lair/office, I saw a pretty amazing t-shirt:

Keanu Reeves: A Walk In The Clouds

Wow. What a terrible movie, what a terrible actor. The guy wearing it was a little freaked out by the crazy dimdim girl staring at him wide-eyed with a stapler in one hand and an enormous grin on her face. This t-shirt receives 8/10 in the category 'memories of bad movies'.

T-shirt(s) Of The Day

Every single day I see at least one person in Port Moresby wearing a Bob Marley t-shirt. At least one, and often two or three. It's not that there is a random flux of Bob Marley t-shirts as I first thought, because the shops that sell new clothes have many of them there. It's just that Bob Marley is quite popular here.

The thing is, the only time that I have ever heard Bob Marley in this country is when I have been playing his music. Seriously. I have heard heaps of music around - in shops, restaurants, passing cars, etc. but I have never ever heard Bob Marley being played outside my house. I just must not be going to the places where the t-shirt wearers go. The Bob Marley t-shirts get a 9.5/10 in the category 'more common than razor wire'.

T-shirt Of The Day

Today's T-shirt Of The Day is a curious one. Wandering the streets of town I spotted:

D.A.R.E. to reject drugs and violence

I really don't know what it was talking about... apart from the obvious, of course. I would normally expect a t-shirt like that to say which organisation produced it or has a vested interest in it, or where you can go if you do dare. And I was quite confuzzled by the obvious acronym... but for what?

This t-shirt receives a 8.5/10 in the category 'Should I be able to understand this?'.

NOTE: Ok it turns out that DARE is an anti-drug organisation in the USA. But they don't work here. So the mystery continues...

T-shirt Of The Day

Fashion in Papua New Guinea is an amazing thing. Most women wear 'meri blouses', which are fantastic brightly coloured mu-mu type things (I haven't got one yet but it's on the way, so photos of me will be coming soon!). There aren't many stores that sell new clothes, but the ones that do have wonderful names such as 'Male Arrogance' and 'Tramps'.

The main source of clothing here comes from giant second-hand stores, stocked with used clothing from Australia. This is quite fun for two reasons: firstly, there are great clothes in there for cheap prices and second, because I have seen some of the most amazing and obscure T-shirts ever to have left the shores of Australia.

I have seen an amazing selection: everything from 'Telstra' to 'The Great Victorian Bike Ride'. So I am now introducing a 'T-shirt Of The Day' to my blog, in which I will discuss the relative merits of the various t-shirts that I
have seen in my travels.

CLAUSE 1: Because of the difficulties of dial-up and the general rudeness of saying, 'Hey, can I take a photo of your whacky t-shirt?', I won't put up pictures. I'll leave that to your imagination.

CLAUSE 2: I am, of course, anticipating that I will be too busy/bored/lazy/sleepy/hungry to do this every day, but 'T-shirt Of The Day' sounds better than 'Fantastic T-shirt That I Saw One Random Day'.

Today's T-shirt Of The Day was one of a theme that I remember well from the nineties - The X Files. This t-shirt not only had the great big X in the middle of it, but it also had Mulder and Scully in all of their deep and meaningful glory - those looks that they gave were certainly full of foreboding. What's more is that it was a t-shirt from the earlier days, before Scully went all sexy, and when they weren't afraid to involve a bit of slime/gore in the show. I could tell from the hair. All in all, this was a fantastic t-shirt and I was excited to spot it. Today's 'T-shirt Of The Day' receives a 7/10 in the category 'reliving the nineties'.
