T-T1me IS an t1me Shirts uncover personalities Hullabaloo Let's Neck Let's Neck, Texas Secede, log Today, Here Tomorrow. The list could go on and on and on. After all, there seemed to be almost as many T-shirt slogans as there were T-shirts. In fact, there was little doubt that there were more T-shirts than students. Fifteen was the average number owned by those asked. The number one reason for this increased popularity was the message carried prominently on the majority of T's. They're fun. stated student after student. Mine speak for me, said Cheryl Oyler. When you think about it, it's unreal what you can learn about a person by the T-shirts he wears.
