I found a note that I wrote to myself God knows how long ago. Somebody asked me to repost this story that I had posted in 2021. Whoever you are, sorry. Here it is, from 2001:
When I was young I used to hang out at a bar/pool hall on Tennessee Street in Tallahassee across the street from the university. I didn’t play pool, but I spent many, many hours there and drank many, many glasses of beer. It was the Pastime Tavern. Once they had a barbershop in a little side room. Then for a while some guys ran a little eatery they called The Squat ‘n Gobble. This is the shirt I bought some 50 odd years ago. The lady on the shirt is Miss Kitty. She sold me my first legal beer when I turned 21.
And I thought I was the only one who saved old t-shirts. I have one from a Led Zepelin concert I went to at Madison Square Garden in 1975. The whole place was so full of wacky-weed smoke that even the middle-aged security guards were stoned!
I have a sweater that I swiped from my sister in 1959. I have several Ernie shirts, all different from the 1990s. Plus a Sea Monkeys T that the Sea Monkey guy gave me years ago. Most of my clothes are rags.
Sounds like you’re “old school” like me: use it and reuse it. I still have a Hindi “hippie” shirt from high school in 1968 as well as a winter coat from the same year from when I lived in New York.
And you still have the shirt…. and it fits! Good memories, eh?
It’s mighty tight. I also have a poster from back then. I’ll post it.
A registration plate “Dr Pork”? Have you used it?
That was from 2005. A fan stopped me in a parking lot when he saw the tag. I also had a “Zerblat” tag.

When I was like four years old my mother made clothes out of old chicken feed sacks. My old man had chickens. I wish I still had one of those.
