Need help divorcing a t shirt

livingstonbob · Post by **livingstonbob** » March 30, 2003 8:02 pm

A couple of days ago while dating a t shirt (a stunner at that!), I noticed that it no longer fit. We had outgrown each other. No matter how much pulling and pleading, it simply will not work. The t shirt has been there with me through the thick and the thin, barbeque stains and all. Any little problem and I could always rely on it being there for me. Now it's time to divorce it. I know it's a tough market for a divorced t shirt that's been tattered and used, but not abused, so I can't really discard it on the scrap heap, letting it fend for itself and risk having it get picked up by some James Dean t shirt with cigarettes rolled up its sleeves. I can't give it away as it would then be known as a loose t shirt.

Any ideas on how to divorce this small petite t shirt?

(The dating a t shirt thread hasn't been active so I'd thought I would re-energize it with this thread).

I strongly suggest you place your ex up for bid on e-bay. By placing a high minimum you can prevent the sort of perverts who would tear your former love into shreds as rags. It is amazing the many people out their on e-bay who place a high value on things others discard. Imagine being able to tell someone you are dating a t-shirt on e-bay. Or, you think she's hot, I picked her up for $50. on an auction.

You could always find an organization that takes donations. Not only would you be providing a new life for your t-shirt, you would be helping someone who may be "needy"...one who has never had the pleasure of the company of such a wonderful t-shirt and would only be afforded the opportunity through charity. The upside for you......you can get a tax break on the donation up to the re-sale value of you shirt! Just hold on to that receipt!

<<<great idea on this thread

L Bob...

Have you ever considered "shirt swapping"???...Maybe that will loosen the shirt up a little

..and you may find new respect for it after trying on a few others..just a thought!

Please, please don't auction it on ebay. It will end up in my husband's closet with all the other t-shirts he's rescued from there.

Several years ago I too found the need to divorce my favorite t-shirt, it was a Caribean Soul model with the most awesome ship with a quote form Changes in Lattitudes. It was torn, stained and well basically falling apart. I decided not to go thru the divorce proceedings and instead made it part of the Jimmy Buffett shrine. Now it spends time with the fish netting, album covers, ticket stubs, and posters!

But that's White Sale Slavery!!!!!

If you are creative and don't mind trimming up the shirt, you could make it into a quilt. Take your favorite shirts and cut the best parts out and use fabric strips to connect them all together. Then you'd never have to part with it and it would always fit!

Long time ago I began a relationship with a Jose Cuervo' T shirt..a little Mexican cutie..I don't know why I became so attached..maybe it was the "Eat the Worm" written on her chest..how can you ignore that?..We were inseperable..we began to sleep together every night..I was hooked..then the inevitable..she became old, ragged and wrinkled..I couldn't ignore the obvious, that she was not aging gracefully and I knew she would be dirty all through the divorce..I did know one thing..one of us was getting ripped off, and it wasn't going to be me!

I think someone missed the humor in this thread...unless you are referring to a silence of the lambs type quilt???
