Training

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.

Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

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.

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.

Stealth

Greatest kite of all time!

Viva la Second Amendment!

Unless of course the Second means that we'll have well-regulated militias of bears rising up against the tyranny of the government, because I'm not sure I support their position on socialized medicine.

Reunite Gondwanaland!

With all the causes to fight for, I think this is one we can all really get behind. What better way to promote global unity?

You heard me.

Ever thought to yourself, "what I really need is a t-shirt that will tell everyone exactly how mind-blowingly awesome I am"? Merry Christmas.

Squid Attack!

I'm taking a huge risk here by violating my NDA, but lawsuits be damned, I'm breaking this news first! The sequel to last year's "Cloverfield" will feature not another alien, but a giant squid.

Thanks to Meghan for the tip!

I am a banana!

There came a time when I had to face facts and decide once and for all to go for the obvious. What am I talking about, I careen over that decision every day and just go for it! Here, for your purchasing pleasure, is an oldie but a goodie from the one and only Don Hertzfeldt:

If you somehow missed this, do yourself a favor and watch the clip. And if you're up for some good chuckles, watch "Rejected" in its entirety.

Remember how the world was supposed to end in a black hole a few weeks ago?

Yeah, me too. (Worst excuse ever for showing up at work hung over). One of these days they'll actually get the Hadron up and running, though, and then we'll show the skeptics! In the meantime, there's this delight:

Oh HELL no!

You've got to be kidding me. They're killing me with the bad ninjas and bad punctuation! Get me a graphic designer on the phone NOW.

And for the record, NO, I have absolutely no desire to know what is up this guy's ninja. I also do NOT want to know what "ninja" is a euphemism for. This is not my kind of party game.

Ninja, please!

CRAP. I wanted to make this shirt. I think I still might, actually - I don't like the ninja they used. At least they got the punctuation right (unlike some people), but I still hold that they're jerks.

ZombAid

"Dead exciting now to have the top band with us talking about their work for the charity ZombAid, Coldp-"

COLLEGE

It's only a matter of time before Hollywood does an honest remake of "Animal House," and not just some crappy take-off. In the meantime, you can still feel reasonably original in this little number:

Woulda Shoulda Coulda

With this ticket, everyone wins (unless you're in multi-player mode).

Who's your president?

Back in the summer of 2001, when I was young and impetuous, I got this lovely t-shirt:
He looks young, doesn't he? In any case, here in 2008 there's a new version out there that's sloppier design-wise and more amateurish, but it has a better message.


Handsome guy, that.

Super Obama World

Well, that didn't take long. There's a new game out there, kids, and a shirt to go with it!
What better way to honor our new president than to collect American flag pins and stomp on pigs wearing lipstick?

UPDATE: I'm now completely hooked on Super Obama World. They have Palin on a snow machine! And ladies from the RNC trying to run you down with racks of high-end clothing (worth 150,000 points)! This is hilarious!

Pirate Ninja Alliance

Maybe I've lived in Los Angeles too long, but I really think there's a movie to be made from this shirt.

Secretest handshake ever. Watch out for the hook, though.

Abbey Road

Annoyingly, the company that makes this shirt only seems to be selling it on eBay, but I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

Helping Hands

Now, technically Patrick Moberg hasn't put this on a t-shirt yet, but I bet if we asked really nicely, he might go for it. By far the best Labyrinth design I've come across!

Which way do you want to go?

Fantasy Football

Ahh, fall. Foliage, brisk weather, and that other American sport, football. Or, for those of us with no discernible athletic skill but excellent internet access, fantasy football.

Initech

There are a lot of imitators out there, a lot of knockoffs, some reasonably similar shirts at a slightly lower cost, but here it is folks, the real deal (or maybe they just used the copyright symbol for fun. I don't know, I'm not a lawyer). The logo on the sleeve kind of signposts the whole thing, but it's probably good for the company.

Now, about those TPS reports...

Loch Ness Imposter

At last! The real reason we can't find Nessie.

A Birth Day

This answers one age-old question, but it raises a host of others.

Demise of Mr. Flamingo

Ever wonder what garden gnomes do when you're not looking? Now we know.

Ground Defenses

Is it just me, or does this have an air of nerd-infused Banksy about it?

Zombie Protest

In this season of politics and protests, there is one demographic whose croaking voices are scarcely heard. That's right: zombies. Sure, they may now be insatiable parasites who only want our brains, but they also only want to be treated like the equal citizens they once were.


Brains we need.

Pirate + Monkey + Robot = Pirate Monkey Robot

What do you get if you mix three of the most sure-fire awesome things out there? That's right, a Pirate Monkey Robot.

Boo Boo Walker

See, Luke, this is what happens when you fly around the AT-AT's legs like that: people get hurt. And AT-ATs.

Retro Futurism

Continuing the trend of only blue/aqua shirts today, we have this one that I find kind of awesome. It's true: no matter how advanced our technology gets, it's still tough to get rid of the old stuff. So what if it's been obsolete for a few years? Someday we might need it!

The Zombie of Oz

Think about it - it's true, right?


Just because they turned it into a catchy tune doesn't mean he wasn't undead. This revelation brought to you by Go Ape Shirts.

Ludafish

If you're an ornery old person like me, you're more or less convinced that "rapper" names couldn't possibly get any sillier. I now stand corrected. Patrick Moberg designed a series of tees featuring hip-hoppers in their animal form. My personal favorite is this one:

Perfect Bait

A little grim humour today, care of our friends across the pond at Tee Tonic.


Update: they totally lied - peanut butter worked better.
