Paper Airplane

There's a very good reason why I haven't posted any band t-shirts here yet, and it's because they're mostly just about promotion of the band name and not so much about design. This time, though, I'm going to go for it, because it seemed remarkably appropriate on several levels.

I'm flying back east in the morning and won't be posting much for the next week. In the meantime, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Fun Festivus, Bonne Boxing Day, and find a way to enjoy all the days in between. Peace.

Salvador Dalek

It's Bad Pun Sunday, officially making this Bad Pun Weekend. There are plenty of Dalek shirts out there, and quite a few Dali homages, but this is the best of them all. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Salvador Dalek.

I apologize for OffWorld's crap all over the design. If anyone wants to clean it up for me, I'd be much obliged!

Play Station

I think we can all take a lesson from this shirt, even if there is a foot of snow in most playgrounds right now!

Rubix Cubicle

It's one of the toughest puzzles of the modern age: why do we keep going back to horrible, horrible cubicles every day? Maybe someday someone will post a solution online or something.

Fugitive

Welcome to Bad Pun Saturday!

(That's Uneetee's pricing, not mine)

Bug Bubbles!

The image is a little wonky for some reason, but I really like this t-shirt from the French website La Fraise.

Follow the link for a really disturbing but more accurate photo.

CCTV Government

This is far more true in the UK than the US, but give it a few years. We'll catch up.
This design is also available as a regular print, which might be a better idea if you're planning to cause some mischief.

Yee Olde Evel

Google's company motto may be "Don't Be Evil," but I'm sure they'd be totally fine with you being Evel instead. Just wear a helmet, ok?

Planet Express

This isn't particularly clever or anything, but as a massive fan of the Futurama, I totally have this shirt on my wish list - hint hint!

BFF

This one is called "BFF," as you can tell from the title of this post, and that's pretty much the perfect name for it. Except maybe "perfect strangers," but that might run into some copyright and/or royalties issues.

Victory!

I found this one on a motorcycle dealer webpage, so chances are it has some sort of meaning I'm unaware of, but in my innocence it seems very appropriate for today.
I would like to thank the state of California for deciding to play nice.

Viva La Revolution!

I spent an hour today standing at a payphone in the occasional drizzle, trying to get through to the state of California, and when I finally did, they kept me on the line for the next half-hour without solving anything. I did get one minor victory, though, and to that I have to say Vivaaaa!



They're right - revolution really is all about going in circles.

F1RST!!!1!

It seems I am a tastemaker after all! A month after I posted his work here, Glennz has finally been discovered by Geekologie. If that don't make Mama proud, I don't know what will.

Reptoid Royals

The folks who brought us Amorphia Apparel and Wear Science have another site in their stable called Teach the Controversy. I'm not terribly inspired by many of their designs there, but this one is freakin' sweet.


It's also true, but you totally didn't hear that from me.

Who vs. Whom

As much as this makes me giggle, I probably wouldn't wear it as a shirt. No, I take that back. I almost definitely wouldn't wear it as a shirt. Maybe a profile picture somewhere, or as cubicle-wall art or something. That would work.

Tastes Like Excel

It's truly a pity that this one is sold out because, well, it's so darn cute!

Deep Secret

Oh man, if this is true, we're all seriously screwed.

Uncrashable Software by Microsoft

I know what you're thinking - "that's unpossible!" Oh, I assure you, you're absolutely correct. But in an attempt to be clever and to make one item that won't crap out immediately, Microsoft has started making t-shirts called software. Can't fool me! I put one of these in my disc drive, and it totally doesn't work. Must have been the Mac-compatible version or something.

Nixon

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I saw "Frost/Nixon" as a play, and my bet is that unless Ron Howard got really over-eager in his directing, he can't have screwed it up too much. I still won't be voting for Frank Langella in 2012.

The Real WWF

My brother pointed out that this would make an excellent t-shirt, and I agree 100%. As yet I haven't found it for sale, but that doesn't mean it's not out there. Please let me know if you find it - I want one!

It's Dinosaur Friday

The ready-made caption for this t-shirt at the Something Awful store really says it all, so I'll let them do the talking:
"Dinosaurs are pretty scary, a lot of them have big teeth and also growl a lot. However this dinosaur is a resistance warrior, fighting against the evil bunny rabbit oppression. He is kindly and sweet, and has a wife and twelve children. He has a really big gun strapped to the side of his body, with which he fights not just for his life my friends, but also for his freedom and the freedom of his peoples."

Plane Tree

I have no snappy explanation for why I like this shirt, I just do, ok? Cool, thanks. I knew you'd understand.

EDIT: Yes, I realize this makes two paper airplane designs in a row, and no, that wasn't the result of one line of query. I'm lazy, but not quite that lazy. It was pure coincidence, and I love it!

Farewell, Sweet Concorde

Do you ever find yourself at a concert, enjoying the music, and then some 100-pound hipster giant decides to stand right in front of you and then rock from side to side slightly so you are forced to either not see anything, or sway in the opposite direction to catch a glimpse of the band every few beats? And then when you sense your blood pressure rising, do you ever wonder why exactly you're trying to SEE, when you came to HEAR? And then do you "accidentally" kick the hipster in the back of the knee anyway? Yeah, me neither. In any case, this one's for that guy, with my apologies.

Comunista

My new TV arrived today, and I'm in love. It's LCD, HD, gorgeous, great sound. The only problem? It's significantly smaller than my old, dying TV. Sure, that makes me sad, but as Keith so nicely pointed out, downgrading like that also makes me a Commie. I prefer the term Comunista, thank you very much.

There Is Always Hope

If any proof was needed that one can find anything at all on the internet, I just found one of my favorite Banksy stencils...


... in t-shirt form:

I like the art better in situ, but as far as portable art knockoffs go, this isn't terrible!

Well, This Just Really Sucks...

If there were any doubt that I'm a bit of a nerd, my fondness for this shirt and its title should clear things up.


PS - Threadless is having a big sale right now, and this is one of the ones currently offered for $15. They also have a bunch for $10 or $5, if, like me, you prefer your fashion to be recession-conscious.

PPS - Hey Jeff, that shirt you liked, "Get Some Fresh Air," is on sale for $10!

Because everyone has to start somewhere...

Wishes are unstoppable

If you know who you are, this one's for you.


(Not that context will really change anything, but apparently this shirt was inspired by this comic strip.)

Moo!

One of our hosts at Thanksgiving yesterday was wearing a shirt very much like this one, and I enjoyed it so much, I am now sharing it with you. That's the true spirit of Thanksgiving, if you ask me! That, or Pocahontas' ghost. Personally, I'd rather be haunted by a t-shirt.

God's Volcano

Whilst science and nature run amok in my kitchen as I prepare for Thanksgiving, I give you a science fair experiment of epic proportions:

Real Cowboys Shoot Bananas

Chris Rock once proposed gun control through really, really expensive bullets. Me, I prefer produce.

Thunder!

Holy crap, it's raining in LA! And there was thunder and lightning! Quick, everyone, check for horsemen...

I always suspected this was actually what was causing all that noise. It totally explains why the pets hide, anyway.

Arrrgyle

Today I solved the Mystery of the Weird Smell In My Apartment. What does that have to do with the jolly roger? Absolutely nothing, except that if I'd gone about lighting that pilot light wrong, I could have joined the crew on this t-shirt:

Ceci n'est pas un t-shirt

Magritte's birthday was last week, so I think it slightly more fitting that today I post an homage shirt.

Sunday, November 23, 2008

H*R

I know this shirt is nothing new (mostly because I bought mine about five years ago and it didn't make me an early adopter even then), but it's still totally worth it.


I'm more of a Strong Bad girl myself (not to be confused with a "strong bad-girl"), but seeing as how Homestar Runner's shirt exists, I prefer wearing it out in public.

Buy the Power

This is one of the more subtle He-Man shirts I've found, and I must say, I rather like it.

I hope their rates are better than LADWP.

Is it January yet?

I can't wait for January 21st, I really can't. It's the start of a new era, a whole new world for us to discover and delight in, a brand new day for America. Yes, that's right, the new season of "Lost." If you want to wear your fandom on your person, I would recommend something along these lines,


although the official ABC website has plenty of other gear, too, including official Dharma Initiative jumpsuits (for casual Friday?), coffee mugs, and a poker set. All orders placed before January 31 get a free "Lost" temporary tattoo. If you want a permanent one, you'll have to go elsewhere.

Oh, yeah, and it'll be unbelievably kickass having Barack in the White House, too. That's around that time, right?

Save a Bunny...

Today I got an awesome gift in the mail - The Book of Bunny Suicides. If you have not perused this volume, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you do so. And in honor of this book, I give you a t-shirt I wish I'd found a month ago:

LMAO

In honor of the guy I met this morning whose honest impression of a French accent was a Brooklyn accent, I give you this:

Were #1

And on the topic of empires, here's a fun one:

Sorry guys, couldn't resist. I know, we're next.

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

I think that by loving this t-shirt this much, I now count as at least a triple nerd.

Communist Party - and everyone's invited!

I really think this'll be the theme of my next birthday party. Who's in?

Evolution

When I was a little kid, I asked my mom where Lego men come from. I got a ten-minute explanation and ended up scarred for life, but I think she could have spared us all a lot of trouble by just getting me this t-shirt.

Zombie Xing

Now, personally I think this would just make a good road sign (and helpful!), but until I can track that down, we have the shirt.

Greatest kite of all time!
