I Survived

Regardless of your political bent, I think this is something we should all brag about.


Thanks to Jeff for the link!

Origami turned my pants into this shirt

When I was a kid, I loved origami. Loved it. Couldn't fold enough paper. The house was full of swans, cranes, balloons that didn't float, and paper cups that weren't water-tight. It's funny how creasing tons of paper as a kid is a cute hobby, and as an adult it's OCD.

Evolution of Ninjas

Yes.

No Pants Ninja

This isn't the strongest ninja t-shirt ever, but it made me giggle. Sometimes, that's enough.

Space Camp

Actually, I think I like the tinfoil helmet even more than the shirt itself.


T-shirt: $19.95. Shipping: $2.99. NASA helmet: priceless.

Planet Express, Part 2

Hey Brett, I found that shirt in men's sizes!



It's not red, but it's still pretty awesome.

3-speed

I don't mean to brag, but when I was a kid I was a terror on a 3-speed. Yes, all day long I'd bike up and down the street, crashing into anything and everything. Now you can relive my glory days with this lovely tee.

Hodgepodge

I have no idea why this design is named "Hodgepodge," but it is, so there you have it. It still doesn't beat the best kite ever, but it's a huge improvement over the worst.

Question Reality

If you've been paying attention, you may remember the revolution tee from back in December, and how it was pretty awesome. This one here takes it up a notch, and I think we can all agree they did a good job with it. I've certainly started questioning reality, right side up AND upside down.

Less Formal

Here we have a new design from my darling Glennz:


I think my favorite part is the very prominent promotion of the fact that this design is available in kids sizes. Really? For kids? I mean, sure, they'd be the coolest kid in class for the rest of their lives, but I'm still skeptical. My nephew is badass, but irony is completely lost on him.

Identity Crisis

Here's one I think we can all identify with, even if we don't have a mustache.

Full disclosure: I totally found this on Geekologie and am trying to pass it off as my own genius discovery. But I guess I technically did discover it... there...

Run DC

With millions of people currently in our nation's capitol and with Obamania reaching CDC-verified pandemic proportions, it's no surprise that there are quite a few t-shirts out there featuring our very very soon-to-be president. The one that has made me giggle the most so far is this one:

Unicorn Power!

Have you read the Perry Bible Fellowship? Do you have any clue what I'm talking about? Do you really think it has anything to do with bibles? Fascinating. In any case, it's a hilarious and grim webcomic and you should read it, and while you're there, pick up a t-shirt!


Brett, I can't thank you enough for this one! And yes, I'm pacing myself.

The Solution

Welcome to Bad Joke Saturday. Let's kick things off with my favorite bad chemistry joke (redundant?).

Also available for the mens.

Camera

I think we can all agree that the best thing about vacationing (perhaps on your 3-day weekend) is being a tourist. Now you can simulate that vacation feeling year-round, with this shirt!

Just don't wear it to an airport - when you tell them you can't take off the camera for the x-ray machines, they'll think you're a terrorist, not a tourist, and they'll probably just shoot you to avoid paperwork.

The Epic Begins

They're the world's most fearsome fighting team (We're really hip!)
They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green (Hey - get a grip!)
When the evil Shredder attacks
These Turtle boys don't cut him no slack!
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell...


Turtle power!

Ocean Bowl

I can't stop staring at this design and its irresistible oddness.

Sometimes Y

Everyone needs a Venn Diagram t-shirt in their wardrobe, and why not use yours to show off your expertise in vowels and consonants?

Taking Tree

I can say with some certainty that this is exactly what Shel Silverstein did NOT have in mind.

Not As Far As You Think

I love a good conspiracy theory, but even I hope this one's not true:

We all need our heroes. Unless you mean that TV show, in which case, no thanks, I'm good.

Green Line

If I were ever to get a tourist t-shirt from the great city of Boston, it would probably be this one.

The Bee Tee

Not to be confused with the greatest kite ever, this is one of the worst kites of all time.

We're hit!

Now, this costs a bit much when you factor in the exchange rate, but really, can you put a price tag on awesomeness?

RayCharlesDarwin

Now, the t-shirts on this site aren't particularly flashy or design-heavy, but they do catch the eye.


Also available: AnneFrankSinatra, and FlashGordonRamsey.

Origami City

In an origami city, how scary would Godzilla really have to be?

The Awesome Meter

Jeff, this one's for you.

Blood Drive Vampires

I once saw a Red Cross Bloodmobile at a gas station, and I remember thinking it was a really strange sight. It wasn't until later that I figured out the reason why I thought it was strange was that I'd always subconsciously assumed the Bloodmobile ran on human blood.

My bad.

Urban Survival

No earthquakes for my first year here, and then two in six months. Hmm. They say animals always sense quakes before they happen, so maybe we should take a cue from the pigeons.

Sailboat

I went to a comedy show the other night, and the MC was wearing this really fantastic t-shirt with a sailboat on it. I didn't track him down after the show, and so far I haven't been able to find it online, so until I do, I give you this:

Penrose Baby

Everyone thinks their child is brilliant, but it takes an especially beautiful mind to create an impossibility from alphabet blocks.

Puzzled Putter

Welcome to Penrose Day here at Cuppa! First, enjoy the fun and games care of Glennz

NOTE: This is how golf always looks to me.

Dr. Funke's 100% Natural Good Time Family Band

It's been a while since we had an Arrested Development design here, and it seemed like it was about that time, especially since it has become increasingly clear that I need to learn some Korean. Ahnyong!

Ping Pong Vader

Did you ever wonder what the hell all those guys did on the Death Star when they weren't busy blowing up planets or scheming to blow up planets or capturing good guys and then blowing up their home planets in front of them? Well, I think we've found an answer:

I'm not completely clear on where this detail occurs, but it's still kind of funny.

Sightings

So, is Vikings player Jim Kleinsasser actually nicknamed "Flying Saucer," or did I just (repeatedly) hear the announcer incorrectly? Either way, awesome.

Plane Takes Off

Here's a fun one that really is enriched for the backstory. It's a lovely example of story and expression through the graphic design of text. Sorry for the lack of spoiler alert. ;-)



Many thanks to Brett for the heads-up!

Bird's Feather

I really like the simple design of this massively, massively, massively overpriced t-shirt. If it were on sale for like 90% off, I'd totally get one.

Bacon Zombie

As someone said in one of the comments, bacon really is this irresistible.

Many thanks to Keith for finding this!

(And for any vegans in the audience, here's a vegan zombie)

Subtle Houseplant

While I was away for Christmas, I locked up my apartment and let my houseplants roam free. Wouldn't you know it - they chewed on my sneakers and ripped up the throw pillows. Jerks. One of them, though, is now mostly dead, and I accidentally discovered today that I'd been slowly drowning one of my orchids. Oops. I suppose that explains why it isn't blooming any more, but it really doesn't explain why it's still alive. I don't understand plants at all. Could someone please pass me some googly eyes?

THIS Is How The World Ends

Well folks, we survived another one. Y2K9 didn't shut down all the nuclear power plants or take down the whole financial system, mainly because it's already gone. Personally, I think we should all take this opportunity as a do-over for 2008. No more stupid mistakes, mmkay? Otherwise the pterodactyls, zombies, UFOs, and Dracula really will show up. It's the last aught year, so we ought to get things right. Ha! Get it? I'm awesome.


I know the capitalization is all screwy in that title, but it's how they named the shirt.
