Offensive t-shirt ahead, continue on your own risk. (The again, you already saw the picture, so you might as well read further.)

Patriotic t-shirts are nothing new; but this Support out Troops t-shirt mixes patriotism with rude humor is a new way. At first glance, it’s just the usual message; take a closer look, and the subtitle becomes very clear: “Except Ron, that guy’s a dick.”

And really, they’re right, aren’t they? Just because a number of people are doing the same thing it doesn’t mean that they are identic. You can go sacrifice your life for some greater ideal, but if you’re a dick you’ll probably remain one.

Sorry, guys called Ron who are in the military. It’s not personal. Unless you’re a dick.

Continuing with the Earth Day theme, here’s a very cool t-shirt, both in design and message.

The 50 ways to help the planet t-shirt features 50 symbols of ways to live a bit greener, from using rechargeable batteries or donating no longer useful products. The full list is here and, although some suggestions are silly (“By turning off your computer instead of leaving it in sleep mode, you can save 40 watt-hours per day. That adds up to 4 cents a day, or $14 per year.” Wow, 14 dollars! Am I supposed to be impressed?), most of them are good ideas. You might not save the planet, but you’ll waste less. Maybe it’s the way I was educated, but unreasonable waste annoys me. Why throw away that bag if it can still be used, at least for the trash?!

Going back to the t-shirt, it gets a plus for being available in a women’s version and for the unusual colors. I’m starting to get sick of the standard black.

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…

I’ve always liked smart t-shirts. Especially when they’re not smarter than me - i.e. when I get the joke.

You don’t need to be too smart to get this, just to remember a bit from your Chemistry classes. The Solution Babydoll t-shirt has some drawings of lab equipment and the text “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate”.

Despite my above comment, I admit I’d get this just to look smarter than most. Unfortunately, I am sure that just a fraction of the people who did Chemistry in school remember what a precipitate is, so the t-shirt will at least filter out those guys who thought high-school was that thing in between the rounds of beer.

Unless you live in a very remote cave, you have at least skimmed some articles on the issue of piracy. P2P, DRM, RIAA, all sorts of other abbreviations.

If you’re in the pirate camp and proud of it, you can show it off to the world with the I Pirate Music t-shirt. It’s pretty straightforward: it has words and a pirate flag on it. It looks cool. You might get random pats on the back or punches in the face, depending on other’s people opinion on the problem.

It’s quite expensive, but apparently “100% combed cotton with a silkscreened design” means very high quality. Also available in red (for a real eye-catching pirate).

Internet memes… love them or hate them, it’s difficult to ignore them. If they annoy you, don’t bother to read further. If you’re fond of them, this might interest you.

It all started with one apparently innocent l33t sp34k sentence: “I’m in ur base killing ur d00dz”, but it turned into one of the most persistent memes around. “IM IN UR [noun] [verb]ING UR [second noun]” can apply to anything. And, since you can do that, why not say it to the world?

The IM In UR t-shirt lets you write your own message. Then wipe it off, then write again, and so on and so on, as long as you have imagination (and ideas of creative misspellings). You even get a special write-on, wash-off marker!
