Shirt Of The Day: Rock, Paper, Scissorhands

In the world of geekery, there's nothing more important than the question, "Who would win in a fight. The answer, in this case, is The Thing.

CMYK is the New Black

Every season we always hear that _____ "is the new black."

Truth of the matter is that every color will eventually be "the new black", so you might as well pick something that can work no matter what the trend is:

CMYisthenewBlack shirt. For those not in the know, printers use cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink and mix to form all the other colors.

Shirt Of The Day: Don't F**k Pigs

Alex Zalben — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:01:00 GMT

Not really much more to say about this... I don't even think this is necessarily a Swine Flu prevention tip, as just really good general advice. I know I forget about this every few weeks or so.

Shirt of the Day: I'll Be Your Vulcan Bride

Steph Auteri — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:03:00 GMT

Yesterday, Laureen admitted to a crush on Zachary Quinto, and even fantasized about what she might do with a sexy Vulcan beneath these sheets.

My reaction? Save me a piece.

Apparently, I'm a 12-year-old teenybopper again. In fact, I spent all day yesterday trying to find the perfect desktop wallpaper that included both Zachary Quinto (Spock) and Karl Urban (Bones). I have been thus far unsuccessful.

Le sigh. Can't you all see that a union between Spock and I is only logical!?

Shirt Of The Day: Talk Up Your Job

Alex Zalben — Mon, 11 May 2009 13:33:00 GMT

Is there anything more American than being inordinately proud of your job?

I guess actually anything, but I love this shirt anyway. Can someone make me a "Hot Shot Nerve Blogger" shirt ASAP? Thanks.

Unfortunately, this shirt for Willow 2: Lost in New York doesn't seem to be available anymore, or it would be our shirt of the day. Because of that, you'll have to make do for the poster image from Jaws 5: Jaws in Space:

Shirt of the Day: We Need a Hero

Steph Auteri — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:07:00 GMT

Financial struggles. A May that seems more like April. That weight that won't come off. General malaise.

I need a hero. (Seriously. Start playing the song at that link before you click through for the rest of this post; I'm trying to set the mood here, people.)

This shirt transforms anyone into an instant hero (or possible homicidal maniac).

Shirt Of The Day: Ways To Come Out No. 17

Alex Zalben — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:07:00 GMT

When I was a Senior in High School, I was out to dinner with my parents one night, and said, "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you: I'm gay." There was a quick, sharp, silence that fell, and then I said, "No, I'm kidding, but I actually don't want to be a doctor."

In case it isn't clear, up to that point I had wanted to be a doctor. And I'm not gay. But I recognize that there are alternate ways of telling people things, one of which is the above T-Shirt.

I really dug myself a nice hole there, huh?

Shirt Of The Day: License To Pray

Alex Zalben — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:35:00 GMT

What is it about nuns that makes them so sexy? Is it that you just don't know what's going on under those robes? Or is it the mix of naughty and nice? At least for our shirt of the day, I'm going for the latter:

Shirt Of The Day: Take a Picture

Alex Zalben — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:04:00 GMT

Have you ever stared at someone so long, they burned you with the classic, "Take a picture, it'll last longer?" I mean, that's a serious burn if I ever heard one, let me tell you. But you know what's worse? Our shirt of the day, that's what's worse:

Shirt of the Day: Snuggies Finally T-Shirt-Worthy

Steph Auteri — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:22:00 GMT

In the preceding weeks and months, the Snuggie Wars have gone viral. While the conflict originally encompassed a turf war between the Snuggie and the Slanket, new products, such as the Blankoat and, um, the thing above, started popping up everywhere.

But the true sign of something gone viral has nothing to do with blog posts, traffic, or copycat products. No. The real question is: Is it T-shirt-worthy?

Shirt of the Day: (Bi)Curious George

Shaun Seneviratne — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:05:00 GMT

Bicuriousity--it can strike anyone, particularly people during their college years. And it's not just college kids that get bicurious: it's also chimpanzees and children's book stars:

The BiCurious George shirt. This would probably be a good lesson if it was included in the books, no?

Shirt of the Day: (Super) Friends with Benefits

Friends with benefits. Always starts awesome and ends messy.

Shirt of the Day: Raptor Jesus (Plus T-Rex Takes a Bite Out of Jesus Fish)

Shaun Seneviratne — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:02:00 GMT

[$19, Far Out Shirts]

The wrath of God doesn't really strike fear into my heart, but Raptors totally do. When Jurassic Park came out it took me three times to get through the entire movie because I kept crying during the scene where the velociraptors were chasing the kids in the kitchen (fuck you, I was seven!). Alright raptor, I believe I believe! I will preach the gospel in the Times Square subway tunnel. ("The Raptors will Rapture us!")

The Raptors aren't the only ones gunning for the top spot. It looks like the T-Rex has an appetite for a certain fish. . .

[$11, Danna Bananas]

. . .a Jesus Fish! If this car emblem and Raptor shirt are any indication, expect Armageddon to resemble the final scene of Jurassic Park.

Shirt of the Day: Ghostbusters/Pac Man III

Okay. Is this a fucking coincidence or a viral marketing scheme or is Pac Man a part of the Ghostbusters 3 movie? Are the writers of "The Office" who working on Ghostbusters 3 trying to tell us something? Instead of Gozer or Vigo is it . . . the Pac-Man ghosts?!?
