I have a housemate with a "Reardon Steel" t-shirt. The first time I noticed it, I broke down in laughter and gave him a high-five. No one else gets it.
I know the feeling. I have a dry erase board in my cubicle at work. Not long ago I wrote "Who is John Galt?" on it, and since then people have been asking me who he is. A few people apparently thought it was a riddle and wrote their answer on the board (one person wrote down that John Galt is the president ).

I'm going to be buying a car in the near future, and I thought I'd put this on the rear window: http://www.johngaltgifts.com/proddetail.php?prod=0698
