zenlike koans I have seen emblazoned on t-shirts worn by hong kong people

THE SONG OF THE BIRDS!!

friend currently in korea posted this one on facebook:

Front: NYPD.
Back: Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot Card Reading.

Not in Hong Kong, but just now in Southern England, a morbidly obese guy wearing a T-shirt with 'CALL MY AGENT' written on it.

Love this thread, is there a tumblr/photo-driven equivalent?

I could start one with declarative statements from student papers, but that would be wrong and mean.

a year or two before dayo started this thread i considered doing one where i attempted to replicate ones i saw using only MS Paint, because often the colors/layout/typeface really add to the zen

cant believe i never posted this:

cannot believe i only just found this thread

here is the text of some t shirts i bought in indonesia in 2011:

supporting this

worst:

my karma
ran over
your dogma

so NOT zen. and, people that wear that shirt think that they're like, really clever or something. blerugh, trash.

YOU ARE MY LOVE MY ANGLE
DO NOT TREAT ME LIKE POTATO

Haha I like this one!

boyslayer: I dont think you'd see that one of yours on tshirts in HK/Japan tho. Its the kind of thing you'd see at the flea markets, along with "the liver is my enemy and must be destroyed" and "TITS OR GTFO"

well yeah, that's why it is the worst. like, i just feel sorry for people with that t-shirt. i want to take them to my philosophy class or something.

YOU ARE MY LOVE MY ANGLE
DO NOT TREAT ME LIKE POTATO
