A T-shirt for the aspiring scientist

The report card came home today: good news (whew), followed by a healthy discussion of career choices. By chance, I saw this shirt on ThinkGeek.com. It would do well. 

I'm not actually sure whether a science career is in the cards, but would be delighted all the same. Nick's interests continue to swirl as much as they evolve. 

Manuel's way

A T-shirt design for the Fawlty Towers fan. As seen on RedBubble. 

Dr. Seuss, as rewritten for hobbitses

I Wish That I Had Duck Feet, a book I remember having when I was little, is the source for a Lord of the Rings-inspired parody on TeeFury today.

How to insult a fisherman

Easy. Go after his bait. 

I spotted this in a shop on Coronado Island, the beautiful island in San Diego's harbour, last year.

Inspector Spacetime, the T-shirt

A Community spinoff I would follow. The shirt was spotted here. 

On another note, have a look at this New Yorker piece that delved quite well into how Community has mined sci-fi fandom, Doctor Who and much else. 

A T-shirt that's just a flesh wound

There's a Monty Python flavour on TeeFury today ... with the shirt, I notice, available with sleeves for two arms. 

Gonna have to buy it! 

Aren't you a little tall to be a stormtrooper?

Today's TeeFury design speaks to me. (And I have the numerous headbumps to prove it. At 6'6", it's no picnic learning that some doorframes, signs, drops, etc., are more dangerous than others.) 

Troy and Abed meet Ernie and Bert

Oh, of course. Why didn't I think of this already? After all, aren't Troy and Abed, the arrested-development-type roomies from Community, rather a bit like Ernie and Bert? 

This design, created by a company in Halifax, is the featured shirt today on TeeFury. 

Give me all the bacon and eggs you have

It was a happy day yesterday, as this T-shirt arrived in the mail. Actually, three of them - one for me, one for Nick, and one for my friend Mike, a fellow Parks and Recreation fan and an admirer of Ron Swanson's meat-loving ways. (It was a shirt of the day from TeeFury.) 

If you're not familiar with the phrase (one of many, many that are moving around the pop culture vernacular), have a look below ... with particular attention to Nick Offerman's stellar line reading. 

If the Empire had safety signs

This is today's shirt from TeeFury. Nick has ponied up for an order. 

What's British? A T-shirt checkup

This is the design today from RiptApparel, on the theme of British at Heart. While the Union Jack is, to be blunt, wrongly rendered in a few different ways, my eye was drawn to what went in. Harry Potter, I expected; Karl Pilkington, I did not. (Nor the I.T. Crowd, for that matter.) Glad to see the Ministry of Silly Walks; wish there had been some 007, Sherlock Holmes or Emma Peel, among other things. But that's me. 

Whoops-tini!

The TeeFury shirt today showcases the Jawas from Star Wars, as they pick up an Android rather than R2-D2. 

The Big Lebowski, reinvented for our zombie times

The T-shirt on offer today from Riptapparel gives the Jeff Bridges character a Dawn of the Dead makeover. Pretty funny.

Mario and Luigi, zombified

This is the TeeFury design for today. Since it plays on both Plants Versus Zombies and Super Mario, it was like a magnet for our son, who cashed in savings from his weekly allowances to cover the tab. 

 

Harry Potter's iPhone

And you thought that wand was so powerful.

Very clever. I like how Accio is set in the same font as Google.  

As seen as a T-shirt design on RedBubble. 

O is for Otto

The Simpsons Alphabet. It's not only funny, you can wear it; click here for T-shirt details.

Jamie and Adam explode on a T-shirt

Our son has been a  major, major fan of Mythbusters for a while. I'm glad Martha spotted today's offer on TeeFury! 

Hard Tack Cafe

One of my favourite shirts at Living Planet, which relocated just before Christmas to the old Woof store (and, if you're old enough to recall, the long-ago London store) on Water Street with Johnny Ruth. (Hint: update the website!) 

Hobbes goes to Abbey Road

... along with some other figments of (fictional!) people's imaginations. It's the shirt from TeeFury today. A cute idea, although the inclusion of Donnie Darko and Tyler from Fight Club make the shirt a bit adult for kids who might chuckle over Calvin's lovable tiger and Ralph Wiggum's hateful leprechaun. 

 

Those skyscraper workers

I saw this T-shirt at Rockefeller Center in New York, which of course is filled with versions of the decades-old photograph of high steel workers having their lunch. (Certainly the image has been used time and again in connection with Newfoundlanders who have trekked down for that line of work!) 

When Conan O'Brien and the Peanuts gang merged

I just ordered this shirt from TeeFury. What do you get when you match Coco with Peanuts? Coconuts, of course. 

To Tatooine and beyond

Boba Fett gets a Toy Story makeover in today's shirt from Teefury. (As always, the design is available for one day only, at least here and at the $10 price.) 

The seven deadly sins live on your keyboard

Best thing I've seen today? This T-shirt. 

Think about that the next time you hit Ctrl-C. 

 

Coffee: The Venn diagram

The name of this design on Threadless is, wait for it, Coffee Venndor. 

LED Christmas lights that feel the Force

Now available at Glennz.
