Am I reading that right, $890.00????? I don't hate the shirt but it needs a tad bit of color thrown in. That being said, I wouldn't mind having the new Island Hoppers shirts, both the red and the yellow.....

What idiot would pay that kind of money on this shirt?? Or any shirt for that matter. I got my classic MPI shirt from mauishirts.com for around $50, and it's a heck of a lot nicer than this new one with black palm trees ( :shock: !!). I don't care if it's GQ or not, it's still a crappy shirt.

See LZeigeist, case closed! :wink:
Way to go Marlboro! :luther:
One is definitely paying for the label here, not worth it in my books.
Thanks for sharing a few pics with us too LZeigeist!
Black is always more slimming.
It looks like you won an award for some brew that you made - CONGRATS!!!

I read a related story just yesterday:

Payless Opened a Fake Luxury Store, ‘Palessi,’ to See How Much People Would Pay for $20 Shoes
The answer? A hell of a lot

I complemented Perdita Weeks once as being one of the bright spots before I stopped watching the show.

As for the shirt, I thought it was pretty ugly (and not in a good Aloha shirt ugly way). :wink:

This was the Magnum shirt I had back in the day:

That's the one I wear most often as well -

Looks like it fits just fine!

Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

YEP! :D We were actually watching this on the news yesterday and laughing at how gullible people can be! Payless becomes Palessi and people go nuts thinking some brand new chic store just opened up. Hilarious! :lol:

As long as it's a Magnum red shirt and not a Star Trek Red Shirt.

It's sad that I can I.D. all three of the episodes where those redshirts bought it.

The Apple
Arena
The Changeling

Live long and prosper, Higgy baby.

In case you need a ST TOS refresher, they just restarted syndication on BBC America again on Saturday. All day, every Saturday, for at least two more.... Based on past experience with BBC Am, I presume it will run several cycles before going on hiatus again. They paused it on 4/1/18 after at least six months running it all day Fridays, and now restarted it on 12.1.18.
Trust Me!!!
