The Most Awesomest Skee-Lo T-Shirt Ever

Ok. This might be the only Skee-Lo t-shirt ever, but you've got admit that this is pretty cool:



Don't get it? Listen to this:

Giving Thanks is All About Pie

I am thankful for the Internet.

Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without pie, and people definitely like their pie. But they're not real original when it comes to proclaiming their love on, what else?, a t-shirt. It seems to go in one of two directions. Direction number 1... boring. Usually in the realm of, "I love pie." Snore. Direction number 2... well, it's direction number 2.



Ah, the mounding cream, the reference to S&M. It's all so holiday friendly. Of course, they had me at Devo.



Does it smell like cherry?

Did you notice the female theme so far? Yeah, me too. That's probably why this also showed up.



It's a "pumpkin pie filling" magnet. Right. (Side story! So I worked with this guy once who apparently loved the female girly bits. Just thought the hoo-ha was the most gorgeous thing in the world. He wanted to stare at the goods all day and was always trying to sneak artistic renderings of the cootchie cootchie coo into the house past his wife. I can guarantee this magnet would have been up on his fridge. Later he came out of the closet. Duh. Overcompensating much?)



Oh naughty beaver, there's this thing called subtlety. You should try it.

Here's one for the guys!



Um... Okay... maybe not something you should be advertising.

(Two guys walk out of the maternity ward...

OK, I'll stop now.)

99 Red Balloons Go By

You know what I thought I would be cool? A 99 Luftballoons t-shirt. (Because that's how I shop, right? I get an idea in my head and I just assume it will be out there for me to find.)

You know what's even cooler? This:



WANT!!

Shopping fairies, you never let me down.

The 'M' Word

The problem with writing for a pop culture site that has, on occasion, enjoyed its little homages (here and there) to the '80s is that you frequently run smack dab into the "mirror of years". (And no, dressing up that euphemism didn't take any of the sting out of being middle-aged.)

However, as much as you* might love music and pop culture (the church of the young), you don't want to look like an old person trying to be hip. You want to EMBRACE that you ARE old and you fully acknowledge it! You're not even ashamed! You can rock the wrinkles, completely self-aware. And yes, that makes you a bit hip all on its own.

So for those days, I give you a couple of pretty rocking tees:


"Middle Aged Punk Rock Crime Solving Dinosaurs"


"No I am not a Vampire, but I am older than Bauhaus"

The rest of the days I'll be slapping on anti-wrinkle cream.

*And by "you," I mean me.

Have T-shirt, Will Travel

In American culture there is no better way to celebrate the things we love than with a t-shirt. In fact, I think it's almost an unwritten code. I don't force my son to wear tees emblazoned with '80s video game characters in a vague attempt to relive my youth - he just wants to! It was while searching for yet another Mario Bros shirt for him to brag about that I stumbled across the site 80s tees. The array of '80s-themed t-shirts, accessories, and other items is staggering.

But the impressive thing was how slyly clever some of them were. What can I say? I like a little silly in my '80s.
