I Has a Flavor t-shirt

I Has a Flavor t-shirtWhenever I feel I’ve just about had it with lolcats, I see another one that’s so adorable and funny I just can’t hit that unsubscribe button. One of the undeniable classics is the grey Scottish Fold with a flavor.

So, like any major internet phenomenon, it’s been turned into a t-shirt. The I Has a Flavor t-shirt features a different cat than the original, but the important parts are there: the lolspeak text and the licking. People who spend time looking at felines with bad grammar will welcome you as one of them; the rest of the world will just look confused and shrug.

The design could’ve been less simple though, I feel something’s missing. It just doesn’t capture the spirit of cats yet. On the up side, you can wear it when you don’t want to attract attention, as the picture is regular enough not to label you as a geek from afar.

Band Geek Hero t-shirts

Band Geek Hero t-shirts“Those Guitar Hero fans don’t know anything about real music. Guitars are overrated. Why doesn’t anyone talk about real instruments, like harpsichords or mandolins?”
That’s what some people are thinking. So now they have their own line of t-shirts - Band Geek Hero. You can choose from 32 different models, so odds are your favorite musical instrument is there.

You might as well face it: no one is going to make a game for the mandolin, but you might as well get the t-shirt. To tell those “one time at band camp” stories in style.

The Knights Who Formerly Said Ni t-shirt

The Knights Who Formerly Said Ni t-shirtThe publishing process on this blog sometimes takes place like this: Jen sees Monty Python-related item; Jen squees and starts thinking if she can afford it; Jen posts. Sort of like Pavlov’s dog, but with Brits instead of food.

The Knights Who Formerly Said Ni t-shirt is bound to be an instant favorite for anyone who’s seen and loved Holy Grail. After you’ve quested the land for the appropriate shrubbery, you deserve a reward (beside the right to leave with your life). And this -shirt features all the best bits: a coat of arms adorned with the said shrubbery and the undying sort-of-words “Ecky ecky ecky ecky pakang zoom boing” (plus the fish from The Meaning of Life?).
(No one knows how the new name of the Knights is spelled, so there’s no right and wrong way to do it.)

Nothing more to add… except “I want one!”.

weGo t-shirt

weGo t-shirtI loved the previous t-shirts from this series: spaceships, internet memes and robots.

The latest incarnation of the “guess the outline” game is the weGo t-shirt and it features cars. Lots of famous pop culture cars. 55 to be exact, from areas such as film, television, children’s books, video games and rock music.

So how many can you guess? These are kind of tough. There’s the Batmobile, and KITT…

Inmates for Liquid Soap t-shirt

Inmates for Liquid Soap t-shirtThere’s not much need to explain this t-shirt… We all know the stories: prison means no women, someone drops the soap…

Well, if you ever plan to commit a crime, maybe it’s time to start wearing this. The Inmates for Liquid Soap t-shirt is striped, just like prison clothes, and doesn’t ask for much. Unfortunately it will probably only get the occasional chuckle in the street, not any action. Liquid soap is more expensive.

The moral: try not to end up in jail.

I Want To Be Friends t-shirt

I Want To Be Friends t-shirtHow can you resist seeing a t-shirt with something written on it and not reading it? I can’t. And I refuse to buy clothes with gibberish on them or misspellings, because I’m just like that.

I am quite taken with the I Want To Be Friends t-shirt. It’s not funny (like the text itself states), but it’s smart. And a great conversation starter (again, like it says on it). If a t-shirt says that the owner wants to be friends with you, he won’t mind you reading it, right? Then you’d giggle and you’d get talking. Random conversations on the street are among the best things in life.

Self-Sufficient t-shirt

Self-Sufficient t-shirtI’m not a big fan of toilet humor, because it usually ends up being disgusting, not funny, but the What Would McGyver Do? t-shirt was great. Hmm, could we be seeing a trend in tasteful (no pun intended) toilet imagery?

Well, it’s probably not a trend (yet?), but the Self-Sufficient t-shirt is another potty joke I find very cool (I was about to say funny, but it’s not laugh-out-loud material, it’s just understated humor). So, perks of being a mummy, #231: You won’t ever run out of toilet paper.

Of course, if you’re a mummy it means you already died, and maybe some crafty ancient Egyptian doctor took out your guts, so you won’t ever need toilet paper again. But that’s just a technicality.

Mom & Dad Went Shoplifting t-shirt

Mom & Dad Went Shoplifting t-shirtI’ve always had a soft spot for “All I got was a lousy t-shirt” t-shirts. I don’t know why, since usually they look pretty lame when actually worn…

But I think the twist on the Mom & Dad Went Shoplifting t-shirt makes it much cooler than the “regular” lousy t-shirts. The text reads: “My mom & dad went shoplifting and all I got was this lousy t-shirt; which is really weird, I mean… why would they even stock a shirt like this? It’s just asking for trouble.” And I love the humor. And t-shirts that talk at you.

And there’s a bonus for the guys: if you meet a girl wearing one of these, the long text will give you an excuse to stare at her boobs.

Atheists are Nice t-shirt

Atheists are Nice t-shirtI am going to let my personal opinions out of this one, because religion is a touchy subject for many people. But the t-shirt was too cool not to feature.

“Atheist” is usually associated with the idea of “bad”, so the colorful swirly pattern of the Atheists are Nice t-shirt is an irony I love. It looks like a cute teenager tee, something that would go with a Powerpuff Girls message… and then you see the text. I am sure this is going to offend someone, somewhere, and that idea alone makes me want one. Sometimes I think only the mention of the word “atheist” pisses certain people off.

Available in a lot of different t-shirt models; I’m linking to the girlie version just because we need more cool casual clothes that let people see there is a woman inside.

Spaceships t-shirt

Spaceships t-shirtSome t-shirts have interesting designs, others have catchy or funny phrases, and others make you think.

I loved the Internets and We, Robot t-shirts and I worked hard to identify the pictures, so I am excited to present the Spaceships t-shirt. Lots of famous spaceships, but how many can you recognize?

I, once again, fail. My SF knowledge stops at books… but I know a couple of movie buffs who could probably name them all in 5 minutes. You can even get away with staring at a girl’s boobs if she’s wearing this - really, it’s an invitation to guess the movie!
