Vendor Spotlight: T-Shirt Hell

T Shirt Hell is the undisputed master of the offensive t-shirt. These are just a few of my favorites:

I'd Rather Be Snorting Cocaine off a Hooker's Ass...

and:

Your Mom: Rated E for Everyone

and:

Walmarx

They’ve just rolled out a boatload of new designs, as well. More on these guys later.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Well, it’s been said that gentlemen prefer blondes. It would seem that John McCain certainly does. Of course, I have no idea whether the story from yesterday’s New York Times is true, but it certainly is fun to think about. I was not the only one to notice the striking similarities between Cindy McCain and Vicki Iseman, McCain’s lobbyist friend and alleged romantic liaison. I saw comments like ’separated at birth?’ and ‘Hmmm…has anyone ever seen Cindy McCain and Vicki Iseman together?’ Well, with any luck at all, senator McCain has….

In any event, I could not resist putting this little number together.

BREAKING!! - Prehistoric Frog was Size of Bowling Ball

[Crossposted at DailyKos]

That’s right! Your eyes are not deceiving you. A frog the size of a bowling ball !

Not only is this mega-important hyperscoop on the front page of Yahoo News, via Reuters but also on CNN.com’s home page thanks to the AP feed. Why? Because it’s news! And in case there is any confusion, its front page news!

—-

According to the AP:

A frog the size of a bowling ball, with heavy armor and teeth, lived among dinosaurs millions of years ago — intimidating enough that scientists who unearthed its fossils dubbed the beast Beelzebufo, or Devil Toad.

And Reuters:

Scientists on Monday announced the discovery in northwestern Madagascar of a bulky amphibian dubbed the ‘devil frog’ that lived 65 million to 70 million years ago and was so nasty it may have eaten newborn dinosaurs.

Now clearly, after waiting 65-70 million years, the public could not afford to wait one instant longer to be informed of the horrific threat to Freedom that is the Devil Frog! Indeed, if this peril had not been exposed for what it was, instantly if not way sooner, then the terrorists would have already won. Think of the children! How can one possibly be expected to raise a baby dinosaur when there are Devil Frogs hopping about menacingly?

In other news, a federal court shut down whistleblower site wikileaks.org and ordered their ISP to hand over the IP addresses of everyone who accessed the site. Perhaps still abuzz with the Beelzebufo Bombshell, major US media have yet to remark on this lesser tidbit.

NBA All-Star Game Live Blog 3 - Nash “talking trash”

How Cool is this?

During a sideline interview with Craig Sager, Steve Nash just introduced his new shoe line, made from 100% recycled materials - leather and rubber. How cool is that? The name for the new shoe line? Talking Trash!

Nash has always been more socially conscious than most pro athletes, and this seems to continue that trend. I’m curious to know whether they are also sweatshop free.

Did Amare Stoudemire just swish a three pointer? Fear the Suns.

Now we’ve dispensed with the introductions. Craig Sager is an Enormous Man! Seriously, he is towering over Jason Kidd, and he’s 6′4". Okay, not towering, but taller.

Okay, what is up with those jerseys ?

Image
Now, normally, when you see an image like this on a website, you think that the bigger picture is the home jersey, and the smaller, inset picture would be the the away jersey. Not so, here. The picture at left is one jersey. The front is blue, and the back is white. The Western Conference jersey, below, is the same way. Or, rather, the opposite way. The front is white, and the back is gold. It looks like it was the NBA’s attempt to make it look like neither the east nor the west looked like the home team. A noble gesture, but when you are watching a game, it’s extremely disorienting.

For instance, when Chauncey Billups, from the East is guarding Steve Nash from the West, you can only see the white front of Nash’s jersey and the white back of Billups’ jersey, so it looks like Chauncey Billups has gone insane and started guarding his own man. But when Nash passes the ball to Amare Stoudemire, his teammate, you can see his white front and Stoudemire’s gold back, and it looks like Nash is the one who has gone insane, throwing the ball straight to the guy in the other colored shirt.

I wonder how many turnovers this confusion is causing during the game. It’s hard to tell because All-Star games are usually so sloppy, anyway, but I have to think that it’s having an effect.

R.I.P. Sam The Butcher

Allan Melvin, known best for the role of Sam the Butcher on ‘The Brady Bunch’ died today at the age of 84. He was also in ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ the ‘Dick Van Dyke Show,’ ‘Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.’ and was the voice of Hannah Barbera’s Magilla Gorrilla. According to his wife, Melvin’s favorite role was on the ‘Phil Silvers Show.’

I will always remember him as Sam the Butcher. That was back in a time when calling someone a ‘butcher’ didn’t necessarily mean you wanted to have him shipped off the The Hague (what’s a hague, and how can I get one?) and tried for war crimes. Everyone had a butcher, back then. Okay, not really. At the time of the Brady Bunch, most people were already going to supermarkets. Either way, Sam the Butcher was one of my favorite characters. He will be missed.

I was unable to find any t-shirts featuring Sam the Butcher, but I did find this:

Marcia Brady Sings

Rest in Peace.

It was broken. Now its not.

For the longest time, my MojoBlog software wouldn’t let me in to post here. Well, now its better, and I can post again. As you can probably see, I have not been idle in the off time. As of this moment, the site has over 10,500 items, with more being added every day. Hooray.

Official Launch Today

So begins the public life of Fist of T-Shirt. Welcome. As you may have guessed, the purpose of this site is to pimp my t-shirts. I’ve had a CafePress store for some time, and wanted to do more with it. [For those that don’t know, CafePress is the largest of a growing number of sites that allow users to create orders from their own designs.] But I also wanted to do really cool name brand stuff. And I wanted to promote some of the cool designs I saw on the do-it-yourself sites like ShirtCity and CafePress. So I looked into affiliate programs and found way more cool stuff out there than I had thought.
Every Thing But The Music
for example, features official merchandise from all the top bands.

I will be highlighting other vendors here and around the site, as well, in upcoming posts.

A WORD OR TWO ABOUT NAVIGATION
As you may have read or noticed throughout the site, links on the gallery pages do different things. Clicking on the design’s title link will take you to the detail page, where you can rate and comment on the design. You do not have to be registered to rate items, but to comment, the system will require you to register or enter a special code to make sure you are not an evil bot.

ABOUT THIS BLOG
While I will be using this space to comment on and document what’s up with the Shirts, I will also be using it as my general purpose blog. This means that sports, pop-culture, politics and religion are all fair game. Hoorah.
