So there is a contest to design the t-shirt for summer methods camp and your host intends to win. My “real” entry will be a rather tame shirt that says “ICPSR Summer Methods Camp 2006” on the front and then has the R code to program that display on the back.

(Match THAT shirt with a pair of shorts and some black socks and you will really turn on the ladies, methods boys.)
My “other” design is “Chuck Norris versus the Quantitative Methodologists” and is two columns on the back:
* Chuck Norris does not sleep – he waits.Which shirt would you rather wear?
* Methodologists do not sleep – we do problem sets.
* Outer space exists because it is afraid to be in the same place with Chuck Norris.
* Residuals exist because data is afraid to be in the same place as our predictions.
* There is no evolution, just animals Chuck Norris allows to live.
* There is no population, just samples methodologists allow to represent it.
* Chuck Norris is the reason Waldo is hiding.
* Methodologists are the reason undergraduates don’t come to class.
* Chuck Norris counted to infinity – twice.
* Methodologists approach a limit of infinity – every day.
* The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain
* The chief export of methodologists are journal articles you can’t understand.
* Oscar Wilde is the Chuck Norris of words.
* R.A. Fisher is the Chuck Norris of regression.
