Why weren't there any cute boys? Also, is HN really the only place you hang out? You might want to try hanging out in some other places as well.

  Some of us barely have time to hang out here, let alone multiple internet communities. I don't get anything done as it is...

  Post one and I'll upvote it. I started googling "funny t-shirts" just on a lark last night. After getting a zillion, I narrowed it down to "funny girl t-shirts" because I liked that better. I like girls and looking at them made the shirts more entertaining to me (This also had the benefit of going from hundreds of thousands of printed jokes on jokes to a much smaller number of actual modeled shirts). That took me to about 200 shirts. I had no idea what to do with THAT data, so I further narrowed it to nerd jokes. Which took me to about 17. Different paths give you different results. But really the only discriminator was that they made me smile, and the topic was nerd stuff (which is why I shared here) Hacker News. Where even the jokes have algorithms Okay. $20 bucks says if I had posted an article on "Erlang for humorous T-shirt picture selection" I could have ran the same article with 10 lines of code at the top and it would have been a hit.

    On a whim last year I searched for "atheist t-shirts" and to my delight found that there are actually quite a few available and that most of appeal to my sense of humor (mostly things along the lines of "my imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend" etc.). Then I remembered we were going to Egypt on holiday and suddenly this didn't seem like such a good idea. (To be fair, Egypt is a lovely place).
