Is there anyone who didn’t hear the “back in my day” speech? Age doesn’t matter. There’s always a tough past compared to which someone’s life is paradise. It might be “back in my day we had to work in the field all day to get food” or “back in my day we didn’t have this internet thing”, but there is no way to escape it. Not even if you’re an anthropomorphized mp3 player.

The Grandpa Cassette t-shirt features the same scene, only the poor bored victim is an iPod. Yes, back in cassettes’ day you could only carry 20-odd songs with you, and there was no way to quickly jump to the next track, and unless you had a smart walkman you had to manually turn the tape…

But we’re not back in the day. Grandpa Cassette won’t get it, though. Nostalgia is too strong.

Did the Big Bang really happen? Did a higher being create the universe? Or maybe something science still hasn’t discovered?

But maybe the right question is: does it matter? Most people don’t have the scientific knowledge to understand old or new theories in depth, and you can live life in peace even if you don’t have all the answers…

Soap bubbles are more fun. And we can understand those. The Bubbly Beginning t-shirt solves an old science dilemma with a playful illustration. Maybe a bored god created the universe while trying to kill some time…

One sheep… Two sheep… Three sheep… Sometimes counting sheep really works; the brain probably gets bored with all the fluffy white animals and decides to shut down.

…unless you suffer from insomnia, that is. In which case, like the Insomnia t-shirt very clearly shows, you’re going be be counting a whole lotta sheep… just bouncing around there happily not giving a damn that you want to sleep, now!

Will a funny t-shirt make you feel better? Maybe. At least when you’re not cranky for not getting any sleep.

I think this is going to come as a shock for a couple of people, but… Xbox 360 Achievements aren’t really that important and don’t make you special. Long time spent trying to unlock them might also lead to undocumented bugs in a special type of game called “real life”, especially when interacting with the NPCs from the female species.

Sometimes you might feel you’re on the right way. You’re getting so close to your goal… and then you see it. The Achievement Locked Underwear. It’s going to be a more difficult task than you thought, and Real Life has different rules that even change as you play. Damn sneaky programmers and their sadistic little jokes…

I don’t understand how people can live in the 21st century and still believe evolution is some kind of myth, that Earth is a couple of thousands of years old and maybe flat…

Teach the Controversy say that this pro-evolution anti-wacko atitude is wrong and have a whole range of t-shirts “supporting” the most well-known silly theories. The irony is absolutely delicious.

My favorite (slightly better than the devil burying fossils) is the Turtle Cosmology t-shirt. The “turtles all the way down” is a famous anecdote about the flat Earth and how the universe works, and hey, of course it should be taught in schools, otherwise it’s discrimination!

Given that the elephants don’t feature in the anecdote, but they do in the Discworld novels, I’m going to dub this a Discworld t-shirt and I want it now. The fact that it also makes fun of flat-earthers is an added bonus which makes it even more awesome.

I can’t resist the pull of yet another World of Warcraft/MMORPG t-shirt. Especially when it conveys a message my guild really should listen to these days: less whining, more action.

The Less QQ More Pew Pew t-shirt bears a phrase well-known to gamers and uttered countless time at complainers. Yes, everyone is against you; yes, everything is going bad and we’re all going to wipe; indeed, life sucks. The notion that things might improve if people would just concentrate on the game desn’t seem to pass through some heads…

(Oh yeah, and in case you’re curious: QQ is crying, it represents two eyes and tears, and “pew pew” is the make-believe sound of a weapon.)

Oh boy. Some people love their Apple products too much.

Proud Apple parents (that is, parents who own Apple products and “parents” of Apple products) will probably grab their credit cards and order the iPhone Baby onesie. And, although it might be a wee bit exaggerated, it’s nevertheless cute. The designers changed the classic iPhone interface into something more appropriate for a baby: eat, poop, drool and other typical activities.

Not that the parents are likely to forget, but maybe a bit of humor can make the neverending diaper changing a bit better.

I didn’t believe people who said Snakes on a Plane is a bad movie. I thought it was just a regular action film with some snakes added in. And then, one day… there it was. And it was bad.

But as far as bad movies go, it had two good effects. One, the widespread use of the phrase “I’ve had it with these motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*king plane”. Two, the design of the Snakes on an Inclined Plane t-shirt.

Geeky? Oh yes. The one thing that can make me think back fondly to pshysics class? Definitely. Kudos to whoever designed it.

This t-shirt is obviously aimed at people who know what twinking is, but for the sake of all the others reading, a definition from wikipedia: “In computer role-playing games and MMORPGs, twinking refers to outfitting a new character or player with items or other resources that are not normally available to new or low-level characters.”

If you’ve ever played a MMORPG, you can understand why the Twinking – For Natural E-Peen Enhancement t-shirt is great. That satisfying feeling of being able to own anyone your level… of killing mobs other struggle to down… of getting questions along the lines of “ZOMG where did you get that?”… there’s few thing that compare. It’s bound to increase your e-peen – even if you’re a girl!

There’s both a male and female version of the t-shirt, which is one of the reasons I love Jinx. Way too many websites ignore girls when it comes to t-shirts…

The previous ChopShop t-shirts in this series rocked, so it’s no wonder the latest installment is also extremely cool. Rockers will be glad to learn that the t-shirt is dedicated to their favorite type of music.

Guitarists, frontmen (and women) and at least one famous flautist adorn the Rock Star t-shirt. There’s 28 silhouettes in total, and again the fun is in guessing who they all are. Some are easy… some less so. There’s definitely some Beatles action there, Ian Anderson, Ozzy… but (yet again) I am missing most of them. Is that Slash in the middle? Ohh, and I think I see a Bob Dylan.

It doesn’t really matter if you guess them all or not, however. The good thing about this t-shirt is that everyone else will be staring at you and trying to figure them out. A great way to get people’s attention, I might say.
