Preshrunk pal Mack sent along this totally epic video that’s bound for viral glory. That is, if it hasn’t already done so by the time you’re reading this. So if you haven’t seen it, watch it! I swear that it’s worth four minutes of your time.
But since this is a t-shirt blog (where I’m supposed to link up stuff that’s for sale) I’d totally suck if I didn’t point out that they’re selling the actual shirts from the video for $20 to $30 a pop. Or if that’s too steep, they’ve also got really decent replicas for a more modest $18 price tag.
I swear that I’m not going to make a habit out of running shirts that haven’t even been printed yet, but Sebastiaan de With’s Bricky is just too damn rad to not mention now.
Think of this as the t-shirt blogger equivalent of yelling “first” — even if I did manage to stumble across it on Tumblr…
The Mac nerds in the crowd might remember Sebastiaan’s fantastic Exploded Settings tee. If you don’t tho, that’s totally fine. This design is a celebration of the blue legos that show up in place of Flash content on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. I, for one, hate Flash with a passion. If you follow me on Twitter, that’s really no secret. I earnestly want to see it stamped out by the likes of HTML5, CSS 3 and Apple’s assorted mobile products. So you can bet your ass that I’ll throw down $22.50 when this unassuming bad boy drops.
This tee is still in the scoring phase over at Threadless — well, for the next four days at least — but it’s a total five and buy as far as I’m concerned.
If you’re looking for a little context, I suggest you take twenty seconds of your time and check out this video over on the YouTubes:
That’s from Conan’s last Tonight Show a little more than a week ago, and the sentiment is something that really resonated with me. Apparently it moved enough folks to merit the Threadless submission above, a wallpaper and a Facebook Group. So in the interest of helping the cause along, I encourage you to go show it some love. I mean, you really don’t have to. But just know that sitting on your hands may make you come off as some sort of Leno sympathizer. Just sayin’…
Oh, noble space monkeys… If anything in this world deserves a smoke, it’s you.
You pierced the stratosphere to make sure it was safe for the scientists to go up. Were it not for you, Alan Shepard would have never had the chance to play that round of golf on the moon.
Then again, it’s not like you had a choice or anything. Still, I appreciate the sacrifice you made — even if you do look super creepy.
You know, there’s something about seeing a Gundam going all London Calling on a guitar that brings massive amounts of joy to my bitter little heart. I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that I spent most of my teenage years obsessing over both The Clash and giant, city crushing robots.
Now I’m not fully aware of the crossover potential between anime and punk rock — but I guess if someone’s making a tee with hefty hat tips to both cultures, it must exist. I mean, it has to, right?
This design is from the fantastic folks over at Chop Shop — who put out some pretty great stuff when they’re not endlessly riffing on the collage tee. It’s nothing personal dudes, honest. It’d just be great if y’all could find a new dead horse to flog, that’s all…
While it may mostly appeal to the ironic hipster types, this shirt made me laugh out loud the moment I saw it. And since that’s kind of rare, I feel like I had to run it — hipster appeal or not.
Don’t go getting used to me running these sorts of tees, trustafarians. Unless it makes me lollerskate, it’s never gonna show up here. Consider it a commitment to quality. And by that, I mean a commitment to not being annoying.
While these aren’t exactly t-shirts that you can wear — which is what I try to stick to — they’re just too rad to ignore. Preshrunk pal Scott Beale pointed out these tee inspired tea bags from designer Soon Mo Kang. And while they may not be the most functional tea bags (since all of them I know of have a tendency to float when immersed in even a minor amount of water) they’re still pretty damn clever. Also, they come packaged in their own closet. Which is nothing short of epic as far as I’m concerned.
Unfortunately, it looks like they’re nothing more than a concept design at the moment. That’s a damn shame too. I know I’d buy at least a few boxes if they were for sale somewhere.
If you hadn’t noticed, I’ve sorta been ramping back up on regular posts by running shirts from some of my all-time favorite brands. It’s a pretty easy way to get back in the groove without feeling too overwhelmed. Anyhow, I feel like I’d have to repeatedly punch myself in the dick if I didn’t mention Seibei pretty soon. So why don’t I go ahead and do that then?
David put out a whole assload of great new shirts not that long ago, but I’m going to run one that I’ve kinda been sitting on for a bit — the wonderfully absurd “I’ll Never Stop Pooping“.
Yeah, that’s right. A dog shitting a rainbow. There’s something that’s always struck me as sorta fantastic about that. And while it may be kind of juvenile, it also hits me on that “absurd Japanese t-shirt” level.
Also, I like to poop. Like a lot. Seriously. Ask my fiancee if you don’t believe me. I talk about it all the time. In fact, after reflecting on it, I think it’s something I ought to talk with my shrink about…
P.S. If you use the code preshrunk at checkout, you’ll get 10% off and I’ll get a kickback. So, you know, you might want to consider that.
