If you’ve ever had a great idea for a mental_floss shirt, now’s your chance to profit from it. We’re once again accepting t-shirt slogans. To earn a little internet fame and $125, go off and do a little brainstorming, then email your best ideas to flossytees@gmail.com.

And if you need some wearable inspiration (or a quirky Valentine’s Day gift), we’re having a big sale in the mental_floss store. Everything excluding subscriptions is 15% off. Just enter the discount code VALENTINE during checkout.

Nothing says “I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone, ever!” quite like our Hyperbole shirt.

  1. Undernieth the musical symbol called the Fromatta, write in cursif ‘Hold Me’.

    A fromatta is a symbol meaning to hold the note out as long as the director wishes.

  2. RE Kate, I think you mean ‘fermata’ and I love that idea!

    I’ve been waiting for a mental floss shirt with a picture of a brain and a piece of floss going between lobes. Could just say “I floss.” Surely this idea has come up before, though?

  4. Kate:

    It’s “fermata,” not “fromatta.”

  8. How about
    I’m a little A.D.D. and a little O.C.D.
    which makes me O.D.D.

  9. I know you already have a T shirt featuring Alaska, but I think you should make one for the Aleutian Islands with the caption “It’s not an optical Aleutian” or something along those lines. Or maybe a picture of an optometrist’s shop named Optical Aleutians: Where the natives shop. Endless possibilities really.

  10. I think winners of the t-shirt designs should receive certificates of inspiration for their contributions. I only suggest this because if *I* had a contribution that won, and I saw someone wearing a shirt I designed, I would want to prove I designed it.

    …and who wouldn’t want another certificate to hang on their office wall?

  11. How about a big, fat pi symbol in American flag colors.
    Below are the words, “Bye, bye Ms. American Pi…”

  12. I agree with Tiffany. Some sort of ceritificate would be great and would add to the bragg-ability for the winners. Also, the winners should get a free t-shirt with their design once it is produced.

    How soon will you announce the winners? I submitted-

    Clones: It Takes One to Know One.

    …hope it wins. :)

  13. How about a group of people sitting around a projector, the slide on the screen has a hunk of cheese and “You can eat anything with enough cheese”.
