I feel like I'm trapped in an HN parody.

Congratulations! We have a winner.

You have just won first place in the crowd sourced competition for the front of V2.0 of the official Hacker News Tshirt.

Honorable mention:

  Wear something people want.
  Correlation != clothesation.
  Fuck. That. Shirt.
  Take off this shirt and get back to work.
  Shirt early. Shirt often.
  Made from 100% down (votes).
  I clicked "threads" and got this shirt.
  RSS (Real Soft Shirt)
  Y Combed Cotton

Don't forget the runner-up,

    Unknown or expired link.

That one didn't get enough votes for obvious reasons.

I realise I'm ignoring about two levels of irony here, but "Wear something people want." would actually be a great front for an Official HN T.

Inside enough that you need to know about YC to recognize that slogan, but general enough that just about any HN regular should get it. (To anyone else, it would simply seem like an intentionally abstract or unintentionally opaque statement, almost like Engrish.)

Plus, that sequence of 4 words is very Google-able, for anyone curious enough to want to know more...

Aww you were so close...

I'm assuming you're continuing the HN parody and intentionally making a silly comment, but by making such a parody you cross the line from parody to reality. The mind boggles...

"Shirt Early. Shirt Often."

This made me email myself a new password.

How about:

    What Problem Does This Solve?
    Who Would Pay Money For That?

How about "man up"
