Shirt of the Day: Pressure Point
Super Mario Art
There’s a whole lot of awesome Super Mario Bros stuff out there just waiting to be posted.
To save myself some of the trouble I’m going to compile it all into one post.
Found here.
This vibrating Mushroom Cushion ($US11.99) will give new life to your room.
This Etsy user has a whole stack of bed spreads and other 8 bit inspired manchester. 
A game is only as good as its collection of villains. Here’s someone’s take on how the bad guys were cast…
Obviously Super Mario Bros was a good game. And much more entertaining than that video. Good enough to inspire this sort of street art…
Or these sorts of incredibly painful tattoos…
And this sort of painstaking dedication to converting things into Japanese artwork…
This, for those not familiar with the whole Mario thing, is someone’s attempt to get everything turned into a handy graphical representation of a family tree – you can get a bigger version here.
And finally, this is a shirt laying down the life lessons learned from a life playing Mario games…
Horrorble Shirt
Zombies are scary. They eat brains. According to Shaun of the Dead they can’t be killed by your old record collection – even if you play them U2/
Resident Evil is a computer game series (and movie series too). It’s about zombies.
Right, we’re on the same page… here’s a new (and awesome) Resident Evil t-shirt.
It’s free for people playing a demo of a game at a comic convention – that’s so many combinations of nerdness that it’s barely worth it. But the shirt is clever.
(potential) shirt of the day
Glennz.com is running a reader poll on the next shirt they may or may not produce… there are some crackers (though they’re always a little obscure without the caption)… like this one called – it’s a coffee serving robot from the future.
There’s also this Tetris Airdrop…
And these kung fu sumos…
Have your shirt and eat it too
All novelty T-Shirt lovers love Threadless. Well, probably. If you are a novelty T-Shirt lover and you don’t – then please, let me know.
Threadless is good. But it lacks calories. So here’s a site that fixes that little problem. Turning this:
There are heaps more…
Shirt of the Day: Robots in Disguise
In the spirit of Transformers comes this awesome shirt.
Shirt(s) of the day: Feeling shirty
BustedTees is having a sale. They have some funny shirts – and some wildly inappropriate ones. Here are my favourites. Click on the image for the link…
Shirt of the Day: Ninja Code
For people who know CSS and like ninjas… Buy it here.
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.
Shirt of the day: Perpetual motion
This Perpetual Motion Device from Glennz.com is pretty awesome though not technically possible. Glennz calls it “Eternal Exercise”…
Fade to Black
I trust you all enjoyed my wife’s musings in my absence. If so – please leave a nice encouraging comment so that she’ll contribute more regularly.
While she may have indulged in some typical male caricatures she wasn’t far off the mark.
It is with some sadness that I must announce the retirement of my favourite novelty shirt – the subtle “Black T-Shirt””… It has served me well for many years. Since its purchase from Chermside’s Trade Secret for the low, low price of $9.99 the shirt has accompanied me around the country. Its iconic status recognised by many.
Sadly, the shirt is now a faded dark grey, slightly threadbare, and somewhat permanently on the nose.
Well, it smells ok straight off the washing line – but add any moisture and some sort of chemical reaction occurs, releasing a previously undetectable aroma. A putrid smell. So, with some sadness it will venture out into polite company no more. Farewell, good and faithful servant.
The silver lining to this dark (but fading) cloud is that it reduces the total number of novelty t-shirts in my wardrobe – and thus no doubt frees me up to replace it.
Shirt of the day: Swinedled
It’s been a while since I posted a shirt link. Mostly because I haven’t found any great ones for a while. But this is vaguely amusing.
Ode to Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach was pretty awesome. Awesome enough for me to own this shirt.
While I’ve always appreciated Bach for his robust theology and amazing musical ability – it was not until the weekend that I learned that Bach was a coffee snob. He wrote a cantata describing his love for the bean. The Coffee Cantata. Here’s a rough English translation of some of the lyrics:
Recitative Schlendrian
You wicked child, you disobedient girl, h! when will I get my way; give up coffee!Lieschen
Father, don’t be so severe! f I can’t drink my bowl of coffee three times daily, then in my torment I will shrivel up like a piece of roast goat.Aria Lieschen
Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes, more delicious than a thousand kisses, mellower than muscatel wine. Coffee, coffee I must have, and if someone wishes to give me a treat, ah, then pour me out some coffee!
The piece was a moral treatise on the place of coffee in daily life. The protagonists were a father and a recalcitrant coffee addicted daughter who would not forgo her daily java. The father demanded she do so lest she forfeit the right to marry and she relents… seemingly. Although in a sub clause of sorts she indicates she’ll only marry a fellow coffee snob – sage advice indeed.
The uplifting final movement brings the father, daughter and narrator together to sing a song expounding on the benefits of coffee and proclaiming it “natural”. Hurrah.
Here’s a performance from YouTube:
