How many of you do this? Buy T-shirts or knick knacks for places you haven't been to? My last few trips across I-90 in SD and MT has shown me how a lot of this happens. They are selling Sturgis 75TH anniversary shirts and knick knacks long before the rally and folks who have no intention or every being there are buying this stuff up!
Me personally I do not buy stuff unless I have been there. All my Kuwaiti, Iraqi, Afghani, and other middle eastern shirts, shot glasses ect ect were all bought while I was there. My Sturgis souvenirs was purchased at the rally, concert shirts bought at the concerts and so on.
I have always been against posing and fibbing and I can prove that I have been where I say I've been. It just bugs me that tourists running across 90 are buying shirts for Sturgis and not even thinking about going to the rally but they will damn sure lie about it!!
Sorry, one of my pet peeves and yes I can be and am an a-hole! [8D][}:)][;)]

Stopped in before the place opened and was watching them setup the stage for the topless dancers when we got asked if we wanted to see the "entertainment". We said SURE!! The girls came walking by saying hello, I felt guilty for looking and left [:I] The two other bikers I was riding with stayed and I rode on the to Buffalo Chip.
No I do not but I have stopped there! We got a sneak preview on the topless waitresses last year during the rally [:D][:D]

Awsome Spot!!
Was there last year, and going back in October!!
I have the shirt!
I only have shirts from places or events I have been part of Like the GB t-shirt [:D]
My son just had to take it to school and show the other little kids.[8D]
Ain't a lot of tumbleweeds in Ga.
Never really considered if it bothered anyone that he wore shirts from cities he had never visited.
I ration my stomach lining and only get wound up about certain things. Where someone else bought a T-shirt isn't on the list. [8D]
Back when I was trucking I was forever and a day sending/bringing "stuff" home to the kids from all over the country, and a few odds and ends from Canada and Mexico. They really looked forward to what I sent home but the biggest hit ever was when I brought home a big-assed intact tumble weed for my kids to see and touch.

yep. I was going to do that with a dead armadillo. except I don't have any kids, and it was going to end up on somebody's lawn up north.
It said: " I am on a Pu$$y Hunt."
Surprisingly, I was also told it was objectionable.
Dad read me the riot act, and then walked outside and laughed his @$$ off. His friends told me years later that he went around telling the story for weeks.
I have my family under threat of slow painful death if they tell my son certain of The Stories of My Youth. [;)][8D]
One day this kid shows up in a t-shirt. On the front is Tony Montana with the M16 with the grenade launcher. And in 2 inch high letters, right across his chest, it says ADIOS MOTHERmessERS. Really, only no asterisk. He was actually surprised when I told him that he had to turn it inside out before he came into class.
Same summer school a 15 year old girl (this was her second, technically third swing at passing 8th grade English) showed in a a full, neck to ankle, see through white body suit. She was a dead-ringer for a young Suzanne Sommers. She had on a bra and thong underneath. She, too, was like "What, you can't wear this to school?"
