The back of a tshirt that says:

"MY WIFE COMPLAINS I NEVER LISTEN TO HER ...

... or something like that."

A t-shirt? Big Dog was the shirt brand for middle aged and older men to get something ‘macho,’ sexist, or both! It cornered the market on that tough guy Facebook ad genre of t-shirts before Facebook was a thing. They had over 200 stores in the US back in the 90s/00s before they went out of business.

I can’t explain how crazy it was to walk into a store full of shirts like that.

I had forgotten just how fucking huge they were. Like, the sheer amount of product they had featuring the exact same shit. Shirts, sweaters, mugs, actual goddamn dog toys. It was endless.

Overpriced AF too from what I remember.

Unfortunately, it looks like they're still around. Here's the 'humor' section of their graphic tees on their site: https://www.bigdogs.com/collections/humor

Here's a couple examples from the very short, quick look I took:

an image of a T-shirt that says "I have preferred adjectives. Handsome and brilliant!"

an image of a T-shirt that says "it's better to have loved and lost than to live with a psycho the rest of your life"
