What I really want

OK, I figured it out. I want a set of underwear (say, 6 pairs) that have the basic thesises of my friend's dissertations printed on them. A different thesis on each pair. With exclamation points. And the phrase "on the go." Like:

Dutch ships were on the go!
Colonial-originated ideas of religion were on the go in the English Civil War!
Mississippi locals were on the go in Wednesdays in Mississippi!
Single women were on the go in Indochina and Paris!

You can get this done, or at least a portion of these sayings (like, "On the Go!"), pressed on a pair of underwear at neighborhoodies.com. A quick perusal of the site revealed that you can even choose a graphic of say, Mr. Narhwal, on the undies too.

Um...what about "Women were totally slave rebels...ON THE GO!"

I mean, fine, if you don't want to wear my thesis on your ass...whatever. I see how it is. :-(

What about my thesis? It's entitled: "What's So Bad About New Jersey"

It would have to be like, "Not-so-bad people ON THE GO in NJ!"

Thanks CBAM for the website; I realized I can get these underware and the underwear with Judith Butler's face on them that I always thought should make such a great Christmas gift.

Additional underware would say "Women forced to work as prostitutes were ON THE GO in concentration camps!" "Radio was ON THE GO in interwar France!" and "French missionary women were ON THE GO in Algiers!"

Well, YSA, nothing beats "Heroic Scholars of the Torah" Glasses as a Christmas gift.
