I never thought birdwatching could be a dangerous activity until I saw this hat. Indeed, there isn’t one safe moment when embarking on such a quest.

The Birdwatching Hat could also be called Bird-Entertaining Hat. Our little feathered friends will be delighted to have an accurate means of measuring their skill in depositing droppings on unsuspecting humans. It’s only fair, really: why should humans have all the fun?

In case your birds are a bit slower, the hat comes with pre-painted splotches so that they get the idea.

The people who brought us the We, Robot t-shirt (51 robots from pop culture) give us another pop-quiz in the form of a t-shirt: The Internets.

If you’re interested in internet memes, you’ll probably have fun trying to recognize as many as possible. You’d have to be an old internaut to get them all however, since some date back to 1997. And, even though I thought I was pretty up-to-date with memes… it seems my knowledge is severely lacking. LOLcats and Goatse are all time favorites (well… not that goatse can be anyone favorite, you know what I mean) and I can recognize 2 or 3 more, but that’s about it. And 5 out of 29 is a pretty low score.

Can anyone name them all?

Procrastination. A fancy word for laziness? My mother said so. Before starting to write this entry I checked my RSS reader, read three personal blogs, watched one show on Discovery and made a cup of tea. Hmm, yes, I am very good at procrastinating.

This t-shirt is just brilliant for anyone who’s ever did 5 other things before starting the one they needed to. Top Ten Reasons I Procrastinate: 1. (Blank). Indeed, making a list is work, so… I just remembered I have to wash the kitchen counter! And the sink needs some scrubbing. The wardrobe could use some rearranging too…

Boys are stupid. Yes? No? Maybe? Shut up with that discriminating talk? That last one is a wee bit exaggerated, the “Boys are…” merchandise is just cute and I don’t see any subversive message. I think any woman with half a brain can think for herself and realize that the stupid thing are gross generalizations and believing that the message on her t-shirt is the absolute uncontested truth. I just think it’s cute and light fun. And no, I wouldn’t mind a similar t-shirt with a “Girls are…” theme. I can make fun of myself, thank you very much.

The Boys are Stupid Cami/Panty Set has the right amount of silliness to make a woman feel like a little girl again. Especially if you’ve been hearbroken, metaphorically throwing stones after “boys” can be a way to get over it sooner. You know, the old line, “he doesn’t know what he’s missing”, only the 5-year old version.

Just don’t buy this set for your pre-teen/teenager. I think it takes a mature(ish) woman to really get the humor.

[April Fools]
It’s been fun tracking down April Fools’ products, but some of them are just too silly to even be believable for a second. Part of the appeal is realizing they are just a prank, but thinking ‘what if they’re not?’.

The Squirrel Underpants probably address people with a different type of humor from me. If you’ve ever been bothered by naked squirels or can imagine you’d want to protect your children from such a sight… Then maybe, just maybe, you could fall for this. For about 5 seconds.

These underpants “help the squirrels hide their nuts for the winter” and they’re tailored especially for our furry friends: with a hole for the tail. They come in packs of three, because you probably have more one than one offender in the neraby forest. Now start running and let us know when you catch at least one.

I’ve written about my love for Monty Python before, and I usually like Python merchandise. But… there’s a limit for me, too.

The Monty Python “General Direction” boxers are very… Pythonesque. “I fart in your general direction” is one of the most famous lines in Holy Grail. It is very funny when uttered by a French soldier taunting King Arthur and his knights, but I don’t find the humor in putting it on a pair of boxers. Potty humor if not my cup of tea.

But I suppose this fits Monty Python, so fans might like them. Which is ok… as long as they don’t take the message literally.

I have a thing for t-shirts that make you think a bit. About useless knowlege of video games and pop culture, alright, not the meaning of life. But a t-shirt is less likely to get boring when you still haven’t figured out what all the stuff on it means.

The We, Robot t-shirt is a robots trivia test. How many robots can you recognize? They’re 51 in total, from film, television, books, toys and one even from a famous classic rock album. Or so the manufacturer says, I can only recognize three: Marvin, R2D2 and a Transformer. Oh, and maybe the one in the middle is supposed to be a tripod? You can see a larger version of the image here and test your robot knowledge.

True Nintendo fans know the history of their favorite console ever since the first NES fell into the hands of the first gamer. Some of them will want to show it to the world.

The Nintendo Family Tree t-shirt shows the Nintendo family from its ancestors to its current members in stylish white-on-black. You don’t have to pass a test when you buy it, but you could impress fellow fans if you could name all the consoles and state the year they were released.

But if you can’t… It’s ok. Maybe you have some other interesting obsession.

I won’t go into environmental discussions, they’re a can of worms and they seldom end in the two people agreeing. You won’t save the planet by buying more stuff, but if you’re going to buy it anyway, you might as well make a statement. And I can’t see why you can’t also look good in the process.

Petrolcide, noun. 1. The act or instance of endangering the planet by reckless use of natural resources. 2. The intentional abuse of ones position of political power for the purpose of personal profit and to further the interests of petroleum corporations at the expense of the environment and national security.

Most people probably won’t know this word, but the image on the Petrolcide t-shirt speaks for itself.

It looks like everything is being designed to be iPod-friendly nowadays – even underwear! And, although under other circumstances I would say this is stupid, today… I kind of like it.

Like the name says, iBoxers are boxers… made for the iPod. Why do I like them? Well, two reasons: one personal (I like to listen to music all the time, so it’s extremely annoying when I’m cleaning the house and I have no pockets for my mp3 player), and the other not (they don’t look that underwear-ish so they can also be worn at a picnic or just as shorts around the house). They come in a very wide range of colors and models, so anyone could probably find a favorite.

I’m not sure how they are supposed to be worn, however. Putting pants over them would result in a weird bump on your hip or at least a cable appearing from the inside of your jeans, which isn’t something I’d like.
