Loch Ness Imposter
June 12th, 2006 | Published in T-Shirts | 13 Comments
Well, if somebody isn’t going to post anything, I guess I will. That’s right, I’ve come along to clear out the cobwebs.
Jason actually asked me to write something about 2 months ago, but I’ve had wicked bad writer’s block on that shirt. Seriously, one false start after another. What’s brought me out of my slump, you ask? What shirt tore down the Great Wall of China sized block that I had?
Loch Ness Imposter, of course.
This is actually an old shirt from Threadless that I’ve been pining over for months. It just got reprinted and I was able to buy it, so it’s new to me! This shirt inspires mixed emotions for me. On one hand, it combines two things that I love: Nessie and giant cephalapods. On the other hand, I’d be really upset if I thought I saw a Nessie and it turned out to be some imposter! I mean, it’d be exciting to find a giant squid in the Loch Ness and all, especially since that would be really out of place. I mean, we all know the Nessie lives in the Loch, so to find a giant squid with a fake Nessie head! That would be really exciting…but still. I see real pictures of giant squids all the time…never a real, live Nessie.
So, as you can see, I would be torn. Who do I love more? Nessie or giant squids? I don’t think I can decide. Everybody has their good points. Nessie is really cool and mysterious, probably prehistoric. Giant squids eat sea captains, crush boats and fight whales. Plus, I have a cephalapod for a child. I can’t decide. It makes me want to explode. Like my “Who do I find sexier, Beyonce or Shakira?” dilemma.
Anyways. Threadless is having a $10 sale right now. Since I already bought my shirt, feel free to buy one for yourself. Buy two if you want. See if I care.

I think those Threadless boys are set to take over the world now.
So I was wondering, what happened to Jason? He seems to have gone MIA.

He’s a lazy Mexican. What can you do?

Don’t forget, this is one of the designs they’ve made available on kids’ tees! It’s pretty tempting to get a few for the kiddo (especially since I might be dragging him to the Pitchdork music festival next month), but I’m afraid I’d be crossing some boundary.

Admit it, you just wanted street team points ;)
I think the new Threadless is incredibly lame. Bad new prints, text only designs, and the only worthwhile prints are $25.

I actually own this one!
Word of Warning: The male version of this shirt (in Large, at least) is actually a much more intense shade of blue. It’s practically a rich cyan.
I know most people won’t care, but still, I was a teeny bit disappointed when it turned out to be so, er, vivid.

Hmmmm, so uh, is Jason ever coming back? And I’m wondering whatever happened to the contest for donating money to keep ads off here.

Man! How about some love for Sarah? Whatev. I don’t need your validation anyways. Hmmph…
He’ll be back soon, I’m sure. I miss him too.

Well, I was going to declare my love for you but I didn’t want to freak you out.
But you should be updating more if Jason ain’t around! I need my preshrunk fix!

Hey. Love the shirt. Love this site. But it is a little frustrating when a blog that you like, that is really useful, and that you tell your friends to read because it’s great, kinda stops.
Not that I want Sarah or Jason to strap themselves to a treadmill so I don’t have to think for myself, but please, if you’re still buying, or browsing for, cool T’s: tell us about it. It’s a great site. Please don’t let it die.

Hmm…you keep saying giant squid, but to me, it looks like an octopus. Let’s see…one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yep, just as I suspected. Eight testicles-er, I mean tentacles. Oc-to-pus.
