Another Brick in The Wall from TeeFury

After a long absence, We're back to blogging.

Today's Tee of the Day comes from http://www.teefury.com/brick-in-the-wall

I'm not a huge fan of Pink Floyd, but I am a fan of Legos.

And classics collide.

Grillin' Like A Villain from Teespring

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Teespring

It must be grilling season.  And Father's day is coming.  Why not show dad what a devil you think he is with this Grillin' Like a Villain tee.

Now cause some trouble and fire up that barbecue!

Jabbas Palace from Othertees

Today's Tee of the Day Comes From Othertees.

There's a magical place under two suns where surprises abound and people gather for good times.

Jam out to Max Rebo's band, or tangle it up with the Rancor.  You can even take a ride on a sand skiff to the local dune sea!

It's Good On Everything from Shirt.Woot!

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Shirt.Woot!

It's no secret that Sriracha has hit the big time.  You see it just about everywhere and on everything.

Thankfully, its original use as getting pandas to eat their vegetables has not been lost.  This is why it’s so difficult to get pandas to breed in captivity, because without the sriracha, they’re not happy pandas.

Father of the Year from Qwertee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Qwertee.

So father's day is coming up next month and I think it's never too early to recognize the important things that dads do other than their normal jobs.  Between chasing down Corellian Corvettes and crushing systems, some dads do the best they can to make kids happy.

Some dads really are the greatest!

Hide & Seek Champ from Shirt.Woot!

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Shirt.Woot!

I'm always surprised that before 1987, we thought camouflage was the only way to hide.  Never in a million years did we consider that red and white stripes would make a man harder to find.

I think the armies and navies in the world should invest in new uniforms.

Lost Ring from Qwertee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Qwertee.

I lost a ring once.  It sucked.  I felt like all the life had drained out of me and that I would never be whole again until it was returned to me.  And that was without magic.  I can only imagine poor Sauron's predicament he found himself in, wallowing in anguish and sorrow, knowing that his precious ring was out there somewhere.

Next time, take the jeweler's advice and get insurance on that thing.

This is MY room! from Shirt.Woot!

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Shirt.Woot!

Being the father of a little boy, this is just the best.

Creative imagination overcomes overactive imagination.

Fightin' Fetts from teeVillain

Today's Tee of the Day comes from teeVillain

I really have no words for this.  I'm not current on my Mandalorian history, but I don't remember that a university was among their accomplishements.

Think they'll beat the Airforce X-Wings this year?

How to Tie a Tie from Threadless

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Threadless

I'd like to think that I'm a connoisseur of ties, but this knot method is one that I'm not familiar with.

Next time, choose a blue one, I guess.

If Life Gives You Melons from Snorg Tees

Today's Tee of the Day Comes From Snorg Tees.

I don't know who thinks life is handing out free fruits.  There's some ninja guy who always wants to bust my melons.  Life didn't just hand me these melons, I had to work for them.  I would have loved to receive free lemons, or melons, or both.  But hey, you get what you get.

Or you could make melonade.  That sounds tasty.

Bonus Tee of the Day: I Do Marathons from 6DollarShirts

It's friday, so why not highlight a bonus tee from 6DollarShirts.

There's no point in resisting, you know you do this, too.  Everyone has, the temptation is too great!  "Why not? What's another episode tonight?"

26.2 Episodes later and you're out cold.

I don't mind 6DollarShirts' goods.  Some of them are pretty funny.  I hate their ads, though.  I don't want to see "Buy my Shirts" scrawled MSpaint-style across some homeless guy's scruffy face any more.  Though I would be willing to be that he makes more money selling shirts for $6 than I do at my day job.  #lame.

8-Bit Legend from Tee Fury

Today's Tee of the Day comes from TeeFury.

I couldn't pass this one up, having seen the story pop up a week or so ago.  I came upon this now authenticated urban legend a couple of years ago in a conglomeration of video game myths and legends in an online news article.  I was very intrigued at a number of them, though this one seemed entirely plausible given the reason for the dump.  I've played the E.T. game, and yeah, it is pretty tough.  My friend had a survival board game, I don't know what it was officialy called, but he and his family always called it "And Then You Die," because no matter how you played it, you took two to three turns, and then you die.  The Atari E.T. game was pretty much like that.  You wander around, turn white, and then you die.  About all you could do is stretch your neck and make a flower grow.  I thought that it was a hard game because I was just a little kid, but when I read about everyone hating the game and returning them, leaving Atari sitting on a million unsold copies, it made sense.  I never doubted this urban legend for a second, so it was no surprise to me that they dug them up this past month.  I was surprised however to hear that there were other games that were dug up as well.  Kind of cool.  You can read a little more about it on the TeeFury blog.

Now someone just needs to find a Polybius cabinet and I'll be really impressed.

No One Understands Me from Captain KYSO

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Captain KYSO

For some reason I'm the resident math whiz around my office.  I commonly get questions like:  "How do I calculate percentage?" "How do I convert unit x to unit y?" "Where did all my desktop items go?"  Ok, so that last one isn't math based, but it still comes up a lot.  I don't understand how some people got to where they are without understanding arithmetic.  I will admit, though that multivariate calculus is not my strong suit.  So I hear you Maths book, I hear you.

I can't imagine what the Theoretical Quantum Physics book says during his session.  Probably the Psychology book can't either.  Do you think the Psychology book counsels other Psychology books?  Do they understand each other?

Decisions, Decisions from Once Upon a Tee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Once Upon a Tee.

With so many different robots out there, sometimes it can be hard to find the droids you're looking for.  What's a guy to do?  Bringing in the usual suspects for a lineup certainly doesn't help when that homeless guy in a brown robe outside keeps waving his hand.

Those skinny eyeslits in the imperial helmets don't make it much easier either.

Imperial Cars Destroyer from Snappy Kid

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Snappy Kid.

There's been a lot of jokes like this floating around since Disney bought Star Wars.  I'm unsure of what will become of the Star Wars Expanded Universe in the next few years.

I think he's out looking for Luke Skylinewalker.

Always Be Yourself from Snorg Tees

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Snorg Tees.

I knew someone who had the crazy idea that he should name his first kid "Batman" and then give a normal middle name.  Here was his reasoning.  In elementary school, everyone wants to be friends with Batman.  In Middle School/High School, it's something great to put on the back of a jersey..."Taking the field, number 52, BATMAN!" Then when he's an adult, he can go by his middle name and then it's just a fun conversation piece, "Yeah, I go by 'Steve' because that's my middle name.  My real first name is 'Batman'.  See, it says so right here on my driver's license."  This tee is in honor of him.

A year or two after he told me this, he got married and had a kid.  They named her "Sarah." 

Wrong Robot from Shirt.Woot!

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Shirt.Woot!

Jawas will scrap about anything.  I wonder if someone is going to come along to buy them with a "Shut up and take my money!"  I'm sure the Jawas will be happy to oblige.

Either way, I see this ending badly.

Coldest in the Galaxy from TeeFury

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from TeeFury.

As far as natural resources go, there are some systems that export better than others.  Tatooine has been single-handedly supplying the galaxy's sand boxes for quite some time.  Endor's moon has no end of redwoods for #2 pencils.  And then there's Hoth.

They finally wised up and realized that even though you might not want to munch on something cold while you’re there, there are other systems dying of thirst.  Now it they could work out some exclusivity deal with Tatooine and figure out logistics, they would be set.

1980-Something Falcon from Unamee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Unamee.

I remember well the 1980-something space program.  They had astronauts in just about every color suit.  I don't know if that was to chalk one up for diversity, though, because their faces were all the same color. Those were the days we were playing LEGO Star Wars before there was LEGO Star Wars.  So even if this wasn't how it was printed on their plastic chests, this is the way we remembered it.

I’m pretty sure we would have finished the second Death Star if we had been building it with LEGOs, though.

Bonus Stage from Threadless

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Threadless (again)

I know I highlighted Threadless yesterday, but I couldn't resist.
This is why I was never a
good Street Fighter, I could never do very well on the car wash bonus stage.

I don't know if I like this better because it's a reminder of a simpler time when Street Fighter II was the coolest game ever, or because they're washing a Fiat Cinque Cento.  Apparently it's cool to trash an early 90's Infinity, but if Ken and Ryu come upon a vintage Luigi, it's better to wash it and leave it intact.

Though this looks strangely familiar....  I wonder who had this first?

The Communist Party from Threadless

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Threadless.

This is classic Threadless.  And just like oppression in Russia, it seems to pop up every now and again. Lucky us, it has been reprinted again and ready to wear.

I think this just stands as a friendly reminder that you need to be very careful about how you invite to your parties.  And we know why those solo cups are usually red.

Mordor Fun Run from Snorg Tees

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Snorg Tees.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor." said Agent 006.  "That's right," said Rudy, "you run!"  To commemorate the felling of the dark tower, Morder hosts it's annual Fun Run to Mount Doom.  Runners remove their shoes and run over razor sharp rocks for 3 days straight with only a square of stale bread wrapped in leaves to stain them along the way.  Show your support for these pour souls!

Just don't lose a finger or go crazy doing the run.  You might have to be saved by giant eagles.

Super Exclusive Club from Tee Tee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes From Tee Tee.

When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed in the Super Exclusive Club either.  There was always that kid who had the ability to be super cool for no apparent reason, the tough guy, the super smart kid, and the one that hung from the ceiling on a whim.  I remember that super rich Wayne kid with all his gadgets trying to get in to the club, but to no avail.

I know how you feel Bruce, I know how you feel.

Doctor Pooh from Snappy Kid

Today's Tee of the Day Comes From Snappy Kid.

Admittedly, Snappy Kid caters to snappy kids.  But, they do have mom and dad sizes, too.  After all, that's who's buying them.  So why not show your support for A.A. Milne's classic, long running, sci-fi show: Doctor Pooh.  I remember Doctor Pooh showing on PBS when I was a kid.  I never understood the Doctor then, travelling through space, time and the Hundred-Acre wood.  Actually, come to think… think… think… of it, I don’t understand the Doctor even now.

Mighty Hero Atop a Chicken from TeeTurtle

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from TeeTurtle

I've always wondered what the allure of a chocobo was.  I guess riding one would be pretty fast, I don't know.  But this seems fitting:

Tally Ho!

Trader Jawa from ShirtPunch

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from ShirtPunch.

Travelling the deserts of Tatooine for the best of everything, Trader Jawa's seeks to bring unique and original items to your local market.  Be it lost wandering droids or stolen blasters, Trader Jawa's has everything you need at a premium price.  After all, there's not much to be found in those deserts, but what little there is has some resale value no matter what the cost.

I'll bet they don't have Two Buck Chuck, though.

Catsup from Shirt.Woot!

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Shirt.Woot!

I have a strong distrust of cats.  And I certainly wouldn't eat them.  But nothing goes better with dogs than cats.  Catsup that is.

Made from 100% Pure Cats!

Planet of the Kong from Ript Apparel.

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Ript Apparel.

I know yesterday's tee was Donkey Kong themed, but this one is pretty awesome, too.  Poor Mario. Just when he thought he was on top of the world, he comes to understand who's world it really is.

I've seen Charleton Heston play a Mexican, but I don't know how well he'd do as a short Italian plumber.

A Strange Country from Shirt.Woot!

Today’s Tee of the Day Comes from Shirt.Woot!

News Brief – 1994 A Strange Country has been discovered that appears to be ruled by intelligent primates.  These large monkeys, calling themselves “Kongs” have absolute control over the island and typically use brute force to subdue lesser creatures within the ecosystem, whether friend or foe. 

2014 – Apparently the news media has kept this strange country under wraps, perhaps for fear of wayward travelers ending up there and getting smashed by a stray barrel.  Undermine the system and raise awareness with this tee from Shirt.Woot!

Naskart from The Yetee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from The Yetee

I don’t follow any racing circuits, but when I do, I usually like to catch up on who has won the Flower Cup recently.  I remember the beginning days of Naskart when there were only a handful of racers, but in recent years there have been a number of rookies that I don’t even know their names.  But if you’re a Naskart fan, this shirt’s for you.

I was surprised that R.O.B. the Robot showed up as a rookie in recent years, being as he’s almost 30, which seems pretty old for a racer.

Missing Turtle by Qwertee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes From Qwertee

I’ve never owned a turtle, aside from a plastic one with swords.  My brother also owned a plastic turtle, his actually did have nunchucks.  We found it one day with the lawnmower.  I dearly hope that no one has to call Splinter and tell him that they found this missing Michelangelo with a lawnmower.

Unless of course they find him with a lawnmower meaning they find him in possession of a lawnmower, but knowing Michelangelo, I find that unlikely.

Bubble Boba from Unamee

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Unamee

I remember as a kid getting my parents to occasionally rent a classic NES for a weekend before we could afford one.  Those were the days.  Saturday mornings were awesome playing Bubble Boba with my brother before mom and dad woke up.  I remember turning the volume knob down all the way and then back up just a touch so we could still hear it, but the sounds of Bubble blasting bounty hunters wouldn't wake them.

What, this wasn't a real game?  Are you sure?  I remember it so vividly, and nothing about these bubble spewing lizards you're talking about.  That sounds like a ridiculous bad dream or something.

Snowman Competition from TeeFury

Today's Tee of the day comes from TeeFury.

I have always been a big fan of the Calvin & Hobbs mentality, "If you do a job badly enough, you may not get asked to do it again." Of course, that has nothing to do with Calvin's snowman making skills.  Try as I might, I have never been able to match them.  Well, Calvin, Disney has 1-uped you.  Sorry.  Be careful who you challenge to a snowman competition.

Yeah, Calvin, your minions have nothing on Marshmallow and Olaf.  Sorry.

Rebel Fox from Ript Apparel

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Ript Apparel

There’s not much more that can be said about how awesome it would be if Star Fox himself joined the Rebel Alliance.  

That said, which wasn’t much, if J.J. Abrams has a fox as a star fighter pilot in Episode VII, then I’m going laugh.

Accidental Bully From Captain Kyso

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from Captain Kyso.

Gunshot wounds, Yellow Card's Believe, and Onions all rank among the things that make grown men cry.  That's kind of a bad rap for onions.  They didn't really mean to be mean.  It's probably a hard life growing up like that.

Don't worry onions, I think durians have it worse.  At least onions aren't banned from public places.

1985: A Gaming Odyssey from TeeTurtle

Today's Tee of the Day Comes from TeeTurtle.

Stanley Kubrick meets Shigeru Miyamoto.  I think that's really all that needs to be said, really.

Pretty Epic!

Googly Dawg from Threadless

Today's tee of the day comes from Threadless

I saw this earlier in the week and thought it was an April Fool's joke.  I guess the joke was that it wasn't a joke.

I don't know how well googly eyes will last on a shirt through washing.  I don't know how long Threadless' stock will last either, but I'm kind of surprised that there are still some of these limited edition tees left.

Who's There? from TeeTurtle

Today's tee of the day comes from Tee Turtle

I had a discussion recently with my kids on how knock knock jokes are supposed to work.  They didn't get it.  All the know is the banana/orange one that is super lame.  Leave it to Gru's minions to make it funny again:

Absolutely awesome.

Grab Bag Sale from Threadless

Today's Shirt(s) of the Day comes from Threadless.

I know this is pretty much just Threadless trying to get rid of some overstock, but 3 tees for $20 isn't bad.

I'm very partial to witty or funny tees, and it seems that Threadless has mostly gone towards artsy tees, so that's what I'd expect out of this sale, but who knows what you're going to get.  It sounds like fun!

Happy Birthday Dhalsim!

Today's Tee(s) of the Day comes from Threadless

Yeah, I played a lot of video games as a kid.  It took me a minute to really catch on to this one since I haven't played any of the Street Fighter II titles in a long time.  It does make one wonder, though, how does Dhalsim blow out birthday candles?

There are only a handful of these left in any given size, but they're still available.  Looking at this, I can still hear those 16-bit elephants!

Safety First (and second)

Today's Tee(s) of the Day comes from Fresh Brewed Tee

"Better safe than sorry" is always a good motto.  Well, slap some safety labels on your bad self!

Get yourself a two pack of safety tee's to get let people know what they're up against.  Not a bad price for two shirts.  You can buy them individually, but why?

Always Watching

Today's Tee of the Day comes from ShirtWoot!

With as prominent as the recent "spying" issues have been, it seems fitting that the Eye of Sauron should always be watching.

I know, I know.  The recent spying thing was about phone records and email and Angry Birds, but it's a metaphor, ok.  Welcome to 1984, kids.

Absolutely Heartless

Today's Tee of the Day comes from Threadless.

There are some criminals that rob the rich and give to the poor.  There are other criminals that are just plain heartless.  The Tin Man falls in that category.

This is one of those classic Threadless tees that comes up from time to time.  I'm glad to see that it's available again, and on sale to boot!

Slapsgiving Slap Bet Commissioner

Today's Tee of the Day comes from Teefury.

I know that it's nowhere near Slapsgiving.  That's still 8 months away.  That doesn't mean that there won't be slap bets going down among your friends that you'll have to police.  So, Teefury hereby grants you the official position of Slap Bet Commissioner, handed down from the first official Commissioner, Lily Eriksen.

Ok, so maybe Lily from How I Met Your Mother isn't the first commissioner, nor is it really an official position.  But if your friends are in the common practice of making slap bets, then your safest bet is to hide behind the commissioner badge, for sure, and not just at Slapsgiving.

Congratulations, Commissioner!

Cancel Glee

Today's Tee of the day comes from Redbubble.

I remember when Glee was a Disney Channel Original Movie called "High School Musical".  Oh, wait, no that's not right.  High School Musical had ORIGINAL music.  So anyway, yeah.  Not a fan of glee.  While I'm not a huge Firefly fan either, I'll side with this shirt based on the cancel Glee portion.  I'm pretty sure Nathan Fillion is busy with Castle at the moment.  (And he is awesome as Richard Castle, by the way.)  I'm sure he'd be cool to reprise the role of Mal.

Daily T-time

I'll admit, I'm hooked on threadless!  Their witty tees are awesome, but I know there's more out there.  In fact, I know there's enough out there that I could highlight one every day and always find something good.

Today's highlight comes from threadless.  I think this just about sums up my childhood!

Nothing like some good old fashioned 8-bit nostalgia to get you going.
