Represent

I've had this shirt, plus a blue one with the expert art, for months now and I wear it regularly. But for whatever reason just in the last week or so I've had no less than four strangers approach me to comment positively on it. Three of them just in the last 24 hours curiously. Two of them were reasonably attractive younger women, which was even more surprising. I mean, young enough to be my kids (who range from 21-29 at the moment). The others were older Gen x guys. 

I don't know. I find that fact oddly... satisfying.


UPDATE: Up to five. The stewardess doing the safety demo just have me a wink and thumbs up after pointing at my shirt. But then she came up later thinking that I looked really familiar. Odd as it may be because she was a good twenty years younger than me, maybe she was just flirting with me.

UPDATE: Two more young guys freaked out over it. What a crazy weekend for this shirt! 

UPDATE: Here's my Expert shirt. At one point, I wanted to get a Companion and Master shirt too, but I couldn't find a Companion shirt that had the right color teal to represent the box. Plus, I never really played BECMI anyway. I played some LBBs, some B/X and some Holmes before we started adopting AD&D. Then I skipped ahead to 3e after leaving D&D alone for a time.
