  • Threadless Submissions Of The Week: Instead of hitting you with half a dozen okay tees, we've got two solid ones for your persual this week... Sorry You're Safe is nicely done classic design while I'm In Love With Your Spin Cycle is a wonderfully quirky gem. Together, they fight crime!
  • American Apparel Watch: The Jewish Journal Of Greater Los Angeles has got some great in-depth coverage of the pending sexual harassment suits with some pretty choice quotes from Dov Charney himself...
    “I’m an atheist, but I swear on the Torah, my bubbe and my zayde, that I had one fantasy about these women,” Charney said. “Want to hear it? I wanted to fire them all. I thought they were all lousy employees from the beginning.”
    Snap, yo.

Ask Preshrunk: Drying Shirts

7.29.2005

For the first installment of Ask Preshrunk we've decided to run a note we got from a user a few months back. Adam's looking for a quick effective way to dry shirts without shrinking them...

We all know that dryers are the enemy of t-shirts everywhere - but just hanging a shirt up to dry doesn't usually seem to dry shirts very quickly. I thought that you or your readers might be able to provide some tips for t-shirt drying that won't damage the shirt.
Being a fan of the slow yet effective hang method, I really don't have any advice that I think Adam could use, but I know some of y'all might... So please, suggest away!

If you have a question for us, feel free to start a topic on the forum or shoot a question into our inbox. We'll do our damndest to spotlight some of the better questions that come down the pipe. Cheers!


Document

7.28.2005

DocumentI'm pretty sure the web developer geeks in the house are going to dig this one. Well, I hope they do. Of course I'm only going by what I like, so your mileage may vary.

But man, what's not to love about the brutal simplicty of a pixely document icon? Sure it's bound to ilicit its fair share of blank stares and confused questions. But at least it'll be way easier to explain to non geeks than almost any shirt from the likes of Jinx or ThinkGeek. Besides, it looks better than most of the crap either of them sell. Just sayin'...

P.S. How rude of me not to initially mention that Gordon McLean sent this one along. That was a dick move on my part. Sorry Gordon!

Hunter S. Thompson

7.27.2005

Hunter S. ThompsonDear Gonzo Journalists of the Internet,

You are not - nor will you ever be - the second coming of Hunter S. Thompson. The first coming was more of a freak accident than anything else, and I doubt it will ever happen again. Please, quit trying to be him. It's a sad thing to have to watch.

I understand that he was an inspiration to you. Y'know what? He inspired the hell out of me too. But I don't go around writing half fictionalized accounts of my tedious life where I get to call a bank teller a pig fucker. And I swear to god, if I have to read one more short story that starts out with "We were somewhere around [blank] when the [blank] began to [blank]..." I'll fucking lose it.

So please cut it out already.

Thanks In Advance,
Jason

I'm In A Gang

7.26.2005

I'm In A GangYeah, I'm pretty sure wearing this tee and walking around in Los Angeles [Or any urban area the Bloods/Crips happen to reside in] is bound to get you fucked up. Like a lot.

No, really. I don't think there's any way you can win if you sport this anywhere other than rural Nebraska. But if you insist on sporting this tee in LA, I see it going down one of two ways... You'll either get stabbed for making fun of the Bloods or someone will beat you down for wearing a tee that says that you're a Blood. Even if it's painfully obvious that you're not one. Trust me, I've seen people get their ass kicked for less while riding the Metro Blue Line.

But hey, if you like living life on the edge, go ahead and pick this one up. Just don't say that we didn't warn you...

P.S. Much love to Casey and Kristen for bringing FYOKO to our attention. Thanks you two!

Reel To Reel

7.25.2005

Reel To ReelOkay kids, today we're going to have a little audience participation. Sound like fun? Okay, let's go...

First, can I see the hands of everyone who has seen a reel to reel machine before.

Now, keep them up if you actually remember seeing one somewhere other than Pulp Fiction.

Those of you who have your hand raised, continue to keep it up if you've actually touched or used one before.

Alright now, ladies and gentlemen... Most of the people who still have their hands up are either well into their 30's or functionally retarded. Maybe both. I mean, who the hell raises their hand while they're sitting at a computer? *shakes head*

Forum And Disfunction

7.23.2005

We got bored today and added a forum to the site. And while we haven't gotten around to theming it or anything, we still thought that you might like to know.

You'll look it over when you have a free second, right?

Update: We've upgraded to the newest version, which has added feed support.


Firewire

7.22.2005

FirewireThis one may be a bit nerdy for some of y'all. But it's a sexy kind of nerdy, so that makes it okay. Wait, that does make it okay right?

*shrug* Even if it doesn't, I bet you could land at least one or two cute, geeky gal's phone numbers rocking this at the Apple's SoHo Store or DNA Lounge. Do be aware that this shirt only comes in a paramilitary olive. That being said, you may want to dust off your BDUs and combat boots to properly rock this one. It's a pitty that it doesn't come in black, but what're you gonna do?

It Wasn't Us

7.22.2005

It Wasn't UsColor us impressed with Heartache Clothing's designs. They may sit a little too firmly on the indie rock side of the spectrum for some people, but hey different strokes for different folks...

Another nice thing about Heartache is that all of their shirts manage to clock in at £10. Sure, the exchange rate on the weak US dollar means that their shirts cost around $17, but that's still pretty fair for a tee from London. A shirt that no other kid in your neighborhood/school/etc. is likely to have. Well, you know, unless they read Preshrunk too... *shrug*

Jesus

7.21.2005

JesusHoly fucking shit! I want this so badly I can't even think straight. I guess I'll let the Cohen Brothers help me phone this one in...

Jesus: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."
The Dude: Jesus.
Jesus: You said it man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
Walter: Eight year-olds, Dude.

Oh wait. It only comes in lemon and pink? Eh, I'm not that hyper over it anymore. Wow, it's funny how quickly that rush wears off. If it came in baby blue I might be more prone to beat my chest a bit more, but lemon and pink? Oh hell no.

Fuck it, I'm going bowling.
