"Drink up, chumps!" urges the cheery barkeep featured on this blue tee from the shameless hucksters at beertees.com. I'm sure that this will bring back many happy memories for those of us lucky enough to have experienced the warm service, warmer beer and questionable snacks available at Moe's Tavern and the many bars like it around the country.

Sometimes it's nice to go where everybody knows your name, but sometimes it's better to go where no-one knows your name and doesn't care to find out. That way you have less chance of running into somebody that you owe money to. Just sit back on your barstool, safe in the knowledge that the vinyl cover is so sticky that there's no chance of you falling off, and enjoy a tall glass of yellow liquid that could charitably be described as beer.

You can find many interesting characters with fascinating stories in a bar like Moe's. They won't tell you any of their stories and may in fact become agitated or violent when pressed on the matter, but you can be assured that the stories are there.

Moe's Tavern, and the bars like it, are the backbone of America and you should be proud to celebrate this tavernacular heritage by wearing a tee shirt. Just don't wear it if you go into Moe's, I hear he has taken to sticking things in your eye if you do.
