its one I got printed about 15 years ago when I was doing my backyard-underground board label called " Buddah Stix ", the shirt print is called 'wet dreaming' and is a Simpson style cartoon where a guy is always dreaming about barrells even when having sex, getting married or in the barrell....It has holes and sleeves have been cut off but it is currently floating around my shaping bay somewhere but I just cant throw it out...my old mate Ash did the artwork and my girlfriend at the time did some of it too ( she is now my wife...).... 8)

I printed t-shirts throughout the eighties and into the early nineties on the northern beaches ... and still have a bag full of classics ... the "minister for finance and war" keeps trying to throw them out ... but I won't let her. We did some funny stuff ... parodying some of the then current trends ... but the oldest shirt that I still wear is a Jimi Hendrix design that one of the guys I worked with at the time printed and gave to me.

one i was particularly fond of and kept for years and years had lash clone on it, and i think i might have sent in to tracks for it in about 1984. i don't know where it is now, though. two from 1987 i'm pretty sure are in a box at mum's place or maybe dad's are an illawarra scholastic titles one and a brickyard point boardriders one. i used to wear all three with enormous pride and pleasure. good old t-shirts.

Ive got a old pair of boardies from the early 80s that still fit me, me mum made them and got the matieral from a nursery, back then I use to get burnt heaps on the back of the legs so got mum to make them down the back of the leg as most boardies then were small bloody things, cant throw em out, wear them around the house when doing odd jobs, have holes in the arse as the material is so thin, only handwash em so they dont fall to bits. Some things just cant be thrown out no matter how hard the missus tries to.
