I picked this one up from BustedTees.com to go with my Obama victory shirt. The main joke of this is ridiculing Amy Winehouse and/or the stereotype of British people’s teeth. Anyone who has been to London will recognize the red-blue symbol from the city’s subway system. In the Austin area, the symbol is frequently used with local businesses which have Waterloo in their name: Waterloo Icehouse and Waterloo Records quickly come to mind. Why? Before 1839, this city [really a village back then] was called Waterloo and the Republic renamed it after Stephen F. Austin. Anglophilia for London and the Beatles is my guess why the symbol is used around here.
Anyway, I think this is funny and I’m grateful Winehouse’s ongoing drama prevented her from doing the theme to the new James Bond movie. Hopefully, this shirt won’t turn into another humor test at work and/or a concert at Stubb’s.
Now judging by my gut and recent weight gain 228-9, or obese as per Wii Fit], maybe I should be wearing a shirt saying “Mind the Glut.”
