one of the local chains has been 'inspired' by factory records so they have shirts that say like "YOUR SILENT FACE" and stuff on em
Need further info. Mrs Trifle works in HK occasionally and she could definitely pick out some of these for me (she always says she can never find me anything)
― Ned Trifle II, Sunday, 11 April 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
tell her to go to "i.t." (not "I.T.") and look for a brand called "Underground" (or alternatively, "Ready Steady Underground")

Ah, the Ladies Market! Mrs T is always going on about this. I cannot believe she hasn't brought me back one(or seven) of these.
― Ned Trifle II, Friday, 30 April 2010 15:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Interesting (kind of) aside - if you 'walk' down Tung Choi street on streetview the market is being put up and then as it crosses Nelson Street it's all up. OK not very interesting but I liked it.
― Ned Trifle II, Friday, 30 April 2010 15:52 (fourteen years ago) link
that's because a large portion of tung choi street is not accessible by cars
― going non-native (dyao), Friday, 30 April 2010 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I assumed that that's why they went down it before the market went up. Of course they could have used the google trike.
As another aside - the adverts for schools in HK are quite cool too.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/4565370153_33d125d3dd.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3084/4566008166_a56cde3421.jpg

hahah those are 'tutor kings' - you can get your face plastered on a billboard and the sides of buses just by being a really shitty tutor @ something. hong kong education is insane and sad.
― going non-native (dyao), Friday, 30 April 2010 16:09 (fourteen years ago) link
those guys are all "if you want to pass the A-level just follow my five patented foolproof easy steps" and then charge you $5000 and then you fail the A-level anyway
― going non-native (dyao), Friday, 30 April 2010 16:10 (fourteen years ago) link
put the snake into your house is an awesomely handy euphemism
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 30 April 2010 16:11 (fourteen years ago) link
e.g. "those tutor kings just want to put the snake into your house"

i like how the first one apologizes
― harbl, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link
if you change the 'my' to 'its' in the first one I actually think it is pretty otm
― pokám0n (dyao), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 15:47 (fourteen years ago) link
second one is a good quotation I think?
― some men enjoy the feeling of being owned (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 16:00 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah I think about half the shirts I see are just quotations lifted from books. some company did a series of philosophical terms & their definitions, so you see people wearing shirts that say, in big bold arial, "REIFICATION" or "ONTOLOGY" and then underneath is the definition in small type
― pokám0n (dyao), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 16:01 (fourteen years ago) link
but that is fucking awesome, would wear
― some men enjoy the feeling of being owned (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 16:02 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah I want to find the source but it's hard because I always feel self conscious when I go into the teeny bopper malls, plus they change the styles so quickly
like I went back and tried to buy the one that said "LOOKING AT LIFE IN A STRANGE ROOM" cause I realised it was a JD lyric, but it was gone by the time I got there. I also see people wearing a shirt with a cool quote from dylan, the one that says "YOU'RE A LIAR I DON'T BELIEVE YOU" and I want to get it but I don't know where to look

DO YOUKNOWTHISMEANING?
This one makes me think of ppl who might have asian character sets as tatts or whatever that actually say "I'm a gaijin and have no idea what this means" or something =)
― cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Saturday, 25 September 2010 03:47 (thirteen years ago) link
^^^yes its basically the same thing.
just think how often you can go into a target or a wal-mart and get t-shirts with random kanji on them that translate the same way

the parents are too cheap to get one for each of their kids
i thought i should say something abt 'zenlike koans...' but rly i don't know enough about this cultural (epi)phenom, after all ppl w/ clothes w/ writing on them is very much a western thing too.....where does 'zenlike koan' begin and 'random semiotic soup' end?
― The Managing Director of Being (nakhchivan), Thursday, 30 September 2010 02:14 (thirteen years ago) link
was there ever a difference is the question
anyway I have some pretty good ones I took pics of recently but I dont wanna post them because I want them to be taken seriously, guess I'll just keep them to myself
― Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile (dayo), Thursday, 30 September 2010 02:21 (thirteen years ago) link
there def is a difference between the more gnomic / witty 'koans' ones cited here and the usual t-shirt logorrhea
