  • QOTD:1. No Egyptian wine yet.
    QOTD:2. I can’t limit it to just one shirt.
    From the most recent Rush tour. http://www.rushbackstage.com/rushbackstage/mens-apparel/ouroboros-t-shirt-rush-snakes-arrow/index.html
    And a great soccer shirt. http://whoareyadesigns.bigcartel.com/product/divers-are-wankers

  • Phil G

    Never had an Egyptian wine…

    Favorite T-shirt would probably be my 1996 Yankee WS Champs shirt – wore it so much that I had to retire it…

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    Egyptian, no. Turkish, Lebanon, Israel, Morocco, but not Egypt.

    Don’t wear t-shirts any more, so I’ll say whichever one my wife is wearing!

    QOTD 1: none
    QOTD 2: I love this shirt from YeeHaw Industrial Letterpress in Knoxville, TN. I’ve practically worn it out since I bought it last summer.

    The back of the shirt says “If you don’t like my peaches, don’t shake my tree.”

  • Lenny

    Well Gustav kept me rather busy so I’ll leave comments for yesterday and today.

    First I believe you forgot he QOTD yesterday.

    No I have never had an Egyptian wine.

    I prefer your hair a little longer. The crew cut reminds me of being a little kid in the 50’s when I had the same cut.

    I have several favorite T-shirts:
    WLTV original
    NRA 2nd amendment shirt
    “Einstein was wrong I do Understand physical science”

  • pawncop

    Have not had an Egyptian wine, and I agree with you so much regarding the trying of new products. You will find some duds every so often but will also find some gems to compensate.

    Recently retired my all time favorite so no picture, but the logo was – –

    “Want to make a policeman come?”
    Dial 911!

  • brorjace

    Woohoo, thanks for the Scwhag! Posting almost every day pays off! 😉

    I did a double take when I read your shirt, thought it said…you know.

    And nope, I didn’t even know Egypt was making wine, would have thought it would be a little warm for that.

    Thanks again, love you guys!

  • Hey Gary

    Bring some real thunder and get down with some Chinese, Korean and Japanese wines … some interesting things happening in China and Japan especially.

    QOTD: Got to lvoe the tshirts. I’ve got two favourites. One made for a mates 21st with “Ben Camm’s a Growler” and a very ugly photo of the bloke plastered across the front. The other is a very old Triple J t-shirt (an Australian radio station) that’s falling apart, but still glows a little bit in the dark. Sorry no links…

    Cheers

  • Matt W

    A resounding NO as to whether I’ve ever had Egyptian wine. The most unlikely country that I have every drank wine from is Slovenia and it was mediocre at best. Some areas of the world are just not meant to grow wine.

    QOTD: The one I got at the PGA Championship at Baltusrol

  • Thanks for the schwag, you did come thru! No Egyptian wine and I am not really a graphic tee kinda girl, but I do have a few solid colored ones that I love. Of course, if there is a WLTV tshirt in my pack, then that will be my fave!

    ps. the haircut is growing on me, you look good today…

  • John Farrin

    Egyptian wine, who’d thunk it 🙂

    QOTD: Without a doubt, one that reads, “My imaginary friend thinks you have serious emotional problems.”

    Thanks for the schwag. Nice way to reward everyday commenters.

  • Side QOTD: Nope!
    QOTD: My favorite T-Shirt is one that I got from Joyce Kim (The GigaOm Show on Revision3). I got the shirt thanks to Jason Calacanis who happened to be interviewing Joyce through Qik.com that day. He asked her if she would like to give shirts away to the first ten people to email her and I was lucky enough to be one of them!

    P.S. I actually got this shirt like three days after getting my gift from @SantaGaryVee !!

    yo im telling, mott did not link up AJ’s episode, now i cant see it!

    aaaaah that sucks, i typed in my comments while watching as usual yesterday, but forgot to enter them when the show was over, I would have been #22 … o well, maybe next time!

    yea and by the way, you are missing life if you’ve never had backed apples.

    yo Gary, i dont care if that wine is jug wine, if your not spitting it out and washing your mouth out, then those scores are HARSH. lol you didn’t even talk about pallet differences, you just trashed them. not everyone is rolling like chris mott, but many of us do like to have wine with our meals, so that means lots of not-so-great wines.

    oh and saying Muslims don’t drink wine is like saying Jews don’t eat pork. They do, they are just not “suppose” to.
