SF Giants x Star Wars: Fear The Jedi Beard Shirt


SF Giants, Star Wars, and facial hair. Si, por favor.

I didn’t think the ¡Dia De Los Gigantes! Shirt could ever be topped. But this Fear The Jedi Beard (Kenobi) tee created by Jeff Fang may be the best yet.

UPDATE: Reprints have finally been made and you can place an order by sending an email to jeff@jefffang.com.

Gotta love the details:

Stay tuned for info on how—and if— you can get your mitts on one of ‘em, too. Thanks, Fang!

Opening Day: Drunk Girl at Chicago Cubs Game

UPDATE: REAL OR FAKE? ANSWER BELOW

Not as immediately satisfying as drunk Russian lady destroying grocery aisle or drunk guy putting on flip-flop, but worth a watch for sure. (Thanks, Wardinger)

Here’s a couple choice quotes. On why she comes to games:

“The wings. The beer deals. There’s like, usually like, hot guys that’re, like, up for anything”

::

On the girls who are with those hot guys:

“…Depending on what the girl looks like, I’ll just fight her”

::

On NPR:

“They should defunct that. What is this, Russia? … “

UPDATE: REAL OR FAKE? We’ve all been wondering if this was a joke. Finally, there’s proof. It was Kate James of Chicago area sketch comedy ensemble Schadenfreude. Well done, Kate.

You know why the Giants lost the season opener to (shudder) LA? You didn’t have this shirt.

Do the Bay a favor and head to one of my favorite Petaluma stores, Heebe Jeebe, to grab this killer shirt designed by John Hersey. If you can’t make the trek (stop cryin’, I do it every day) you can order by phone: 707 773 3222.
