This is actual very cool. It’s called the NES Buckle and it is a belt buckle made from an actual classic NES controller! They cost 30 bucks for the buckle alone and $45 if you buy the NES buckle and leather belt combo. To celebrate the relaunch they had to find more controllers!) they are giving away a $10 discount code to the first 100 people to use the code so you better act fast if you want to take advantage of this deal! The code, fittingly, is “upupdowndown”.Â
but alas, this is a tee blog and any post minus a tee, will not cut it! So here you go, the perfect tee to go with this belt! ACTUALLY, the recently released Threadless tee, The Gaming Revolution by Sean Mort, would be a better fit but I’ve already featured it on the site!
The tee is called model no. NES-004Â and it’s coming to you from Huzzah Goods and it sells for $25.Â

As of April 9, Chi Cheng of the Deftones, is currently in a coma following an automobile accident in Santa Clara, CA. on November 4, 2008. Deftones singer Chino Moreno stated on the Deftones’ blog: “It deeply saddens me to inform you all that our brother Chi Cheng was involved in a terrible car accident last night. He is currently in a Northern California Hospital in serious, but stable condition. I am on my way up North right now to be by his side along with the rest of our band mates and family. Chi is one of the strongest people I know, and I’m praying that his strength will get him through this. Please say a prayer for him as well.” (via Wikipedia)

I will push on until Threadless Gods deems me worthy of a print – boing! To see all of my slogans and to vote for them check out my Threadless profile page.

No real story behind this one, I think I had something I previously planned to submit but then at the last minute I thought of this one. Yes, that’s right.
Indeed I do make great animal sounds. Ask anyone in my family. I make very very very good animal sounds. I specialize mainly in house pets but can do some darn good farm animals.
This I got after I saw someone on Twitter (sorry I can’t remember who) say that their girlfriend said the most genius thing, that she loved the hypotenuse of her sandwich. I thought that was brilliant.
I’ve gone back to the spiky hair after a long year and half sporting the long hair look. And I love having short hair again, especially since I can easily poke people I don’t like with the razor sharp spiky hair.
No, I wasn’t watching Pirates of the Caribbean at the time this slogan was conceived. I believe I was reading an article on Yahoo and the word swashbuckler came up. Thought it sounded great. And for the record, I don’t reaaaaallly want to be a swashbuckler when I grow up.Â
Oh, this one was inspired by a professor of mine while were discussing the infinite properties of language. And one point during the talk he had said that same thing (probably with more r’s) and then explained how he could have been the very first person to have said that, ever. And for the record, I like mint chocolate chip ice cream and cherry Garcia the most and maybe pralines and cream.Â
No, I’m not schizo. I just realizes that I need a new pair of Bose headphones because mine are becoming very worn out and is leaving awkward black scum on my ear lobes. At least that’s what the noises inside my head told me.
410BC just unveiled their newest line of tees and I think this bunch is a great collection and probably the most cohesive collection they’ve put out to date. With the exception of corporate vultures (the one with the big head) and cerberus (the one with the rats), the tees in the new line work really well together and actually compliment each other quite well. They’ve got a certain greek methology theme going they really focused on for this line and I think it goes hand in hand with their brand name.Â
The new tees are available now and can be had for $25 but remember you can save 20% off your next 410BC order by using the coupon code “coty” at checkout.
Very cool interview by the guys over at LAist.com with Threadless Chief Creative Officer Jeffrey Kalmikoff. Those lucky LAists got to chat it up with Jeffrey at the Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco last week. Jeffrey talks a good deal about how Threadless was able to build it’s company by developing a strong community.
I love Twitter, I can jump on at any time and almost always find someone that just released a new tee. Sometimes  I stumble accross good stuff and others time, well not so great stuff. Luckily for me, I found these egg inspired shirts that were just released by on.us.tees. Now based on the name of the brand, I would think that they were giving away tees for free! Isn’t it on.us, errr, on them? In any case, check out these two tees from the on.us.tees spring egg line – they are super cute. How are rapping eggs not cute! I kinda want one!
Both of these are available now from on.us.tees for $24. OK, I am off to go eat some scrambled eggs now!
Sassatattoo came out on top of this weeks ShirtFight design challenge with his Rats Live On No Evil Star design! The theme was hidden subliminal messages and as you can see from the winning design, there are some mysterious changes occur once the glow in the dark ink kicks in!

And of course with every new winner announced come a new ShirtFight challenge and this weeks new theme is … dun dun dun … Miss Etti’s Birthday! Yup, another birthday but hey, she’s got her own set of stuff on her wishlist! Good luck to all that enter and may the best ShirtFighter win!
