Rob Lowe was wearing this great shirt on the Tonight Show a few nights ago.  It’s a riff on the famous Benjamin Franklin Join Or Die engraving from the American Revolution, but instead of the individual segments of the snake being the colonies, they are the boroughs of Manhattan.  If you embiggen the photo, you can clearly see the B.X. for the Bronx, Q.N. for Queens and M. for Manhattan, with the obscured head and tail as Brooklyn and Staten Island.  

I want one, but I can’t find this shirt online anywhere.  We must band together to find it - we must Join, Or Die. The t-shirt quest I mean.  Join the t-shirt quest. Or, um, die.   OK, I’ve strained the metaphor.


P.S.  Most of the chatter online I’ve found about the shirt seem to assume it’s a  demonstration of right-wing support.  It’s obviously not.  So all the wingnuts who got excited and thought Sam Frickin’ Seaborn was with them should pipe down.
