- Flickr Tag Watch: Rumor has it that the cool kids are going to start tagging photos of stuff they buy because of us preshrunkisanenabler on Flickr. You want to be one of the cool kids too, don't you?
- Five Dollar Shirts?! Our pals over at Split Reason were nice enough to tip us off to their $5 t-shirt sale. A lot of the stuff they're slinging seems a little too bargain bin for our tastes, but who cares? Five dollar t-shirts are too goddamn tempting to pass up...
- It Must Have Rolled Away: We wanted to link to that Katamari tee ZeStuff was trying to gauge presale interest in, but it looks like it's gone from the store. *shrug* Oh well.
I'm normally all sorts of "meh" when it comes to shirts that incorporate iron-ons, but I'll make an exception for this lovely design from Alex Dakoulas.
Before you go and ask... Yes, I'm aware this design's size range is beween a youth large and a medium for boys and a small to large for the gals. I also know that unless you're really careful when you wash it, the worn-in image will fade away to nothing in no time. So even thought it goes against my normal standards, I've decided to run it.
Why? Fuck you, that's why... I don't need to justify myself to the likes of you, asshole.

You'd think that since Transmit is one of my favorite Mac programs, I'd be partial to the retrolicious silhouetted icon tee they just dropped. But I'm not.
Don't get me wrong... It's a lovely design that I'd be proud to wear to the Apple store. It's just, well, I like the spinner tee better.
Now why would anyone in their right mind like a UI glyph that signifies having to wait for results more than they would their favorite program? Actually, I'm not quite sure. Perhaps it's because I'm a masochist.
Then again, it could be because they all sold out before I could pick one up when the store premiered back in February. *shrug* Who's to say, really?
P.S. Even if you aren't much of an Apple geek, you really should visit the Panic store and play with their shopping cart system. Seriously. Go do it now.

- Mobbed Like Goodie While My Hoodie Hides My Eyes: As much as I dig Anticon's hoodie with a built in mask, it's been giving me nightmares. I must say tho, you haven't dreamt until you've been chased by a meat hook weilding maniac wearing one of them. [via]
- Snakes On A Plane, Redux: I've gotten several sternly written emails - not to mention a couple nicely worded ones - letting me know that I'd managed to overlook TopatoCo's Snakes On A Plane tee. Sorry about that.
- Flogging A Horse Before It's Dead: Snakes on a Plane on a motherfucking t-shirt! Wait until Defamer gets wind of this... [via]
- American Apparel Watch: According to the LA Business Journal, AA's insurance company is looking to cancel their employment liability policy. They're also trying to get out of paying for any pending claims citing that Charney assured them they had a zero-tolerance sexual harassment policy.
Man, I sure do love the hell out of ISO50's designs. Then again, I sort of knew that Scott Hansen was someone to watch when I ran his Waterfall tee seven months ago.
Since we last checked in with ISO50 the Waterfall tee has sold out, prices have gone up couple bucks a shirt and Scott has posted fifteen new tees for your perusal. Our favorite of the new batch has to be The Workers Party - a crisp bit of Soviet propaganda with little touches of worn silkscreening that does a wonderful job of evoking a modern Marxist feel. Since I've got a bit of a hard on for classic propaganda art, this tee is making me swoon a bit more than I normally do... But I honestly think this shirt is well worth the modest price bump.

One of my very first musical memories was of my grandparents playing "Ring Of Fire" over their motor home's stereo. We were on the way home from camping and I must have asked them to play that song half a dozen times on the ride home. I'm not sure if it was Johnny Cash's booming baritone or the catchiness of the song itself, but I was hooked from that point forward.
So needless to say, this tee from Bedlam had managed to work my inner fanboy into a lather. One of Cash's most infamous lines has been memorialized onto a [naturally] black t-shirt along with a set of crossed six shooters. It's a bit simple, but I like it. I just hope some of you do too...

While most of Culture Shift's other shirts seem like they'd be more apt to be worn by the Urban Outfitters set than by a reader of this site, I have to admit that this tee made me giggle. Like a lot. I'm not quite sure what that says about me, but I've sort of quit caring at this point...
Anyhow, I'm pretty sure there are a number of people who won't get this shirt despite the fact that the term blog is slowly permeating the english language. But to be honest, those people really don't need to bother themselves with knowing it yet. After all, the world isn't full of early adopters...
But you geeks and hipsters should get a chuckle out of your friends if you decide to rock this shirt... Actually, I can't help but think that this would have gone over like crazy at Webzine a couple weekends ago. Maybe that's just me tho... *shrug*
