Shop: Beer Güt Shirt Makes Beer Guts Good

EXPERIENCE THE MAGICAL HEALING POWER

Umlauts. Who knew? They make bands rock harder. Restaurants feel more exotic. And on these tees they’ll transform your beer gut into something every passerby can nod approvingly on. ‘Cuz it’s not about the gut, it’s about the beer. And it is good.

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!

Go Giants: ¡Dia De Los Gigantes! Shirts at Heebe Jeebe

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.

Brick Bang: Classic LEGO Spaceman Animated Gif

Much like the mesmerizing Floating Cat this lives in the world of what I like to call Suspended Animated Gifs. Hopefully it’ll spawn a new sub-category of LEGO versions. Maybe Wardinger, who created this one, will do some more.

Art: The Undeniable Mystical Power of Shirts With Wolves

Exhibit A:

wolf_amazon

I’ve been pinged this a lot. After you read the Amazon reviews for this tee, you’ll know why.

“…Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women. Cons: Only 3 wolves…” –B. Govern

“…I accidentally spilled a glass of Tuscan Whole Milk down the front of this shirt, and my soul was torn from my body and thrown into heaven by a jealous God.” –Chaon

Exhibit B:
wolf_hotchicks

What’s better than shirts with wolves? Shirts with wolves being ridden by hot chicks. Too bad the comments aren’t as good. Threadless Tee by Dick Firestone. (via Uncrate)

Conclusion: Undeniably powerful. And mystical.
