Almost Shirt of the Day: Pong

A pongy shirt generally is in need of a good wash (or in some sad cases ala my black t-shirt a throw out). This one on the other hand is full of table tennisy/pong goodness. It’s also from glennz.com.

Mini(fig)-Me

Amy pointed me to this most fantastic site for creating your own lego minifig.

I created me. Welcome back to the comments Amy.

I will survive
