Every day I come up with a new witty Threadless TypeTees Slogan in hopes of earning a place amongst the Threadless wordplay elite. At the end of every week I post a round up of that weeks slogans here on my blog. What can you do to help the cause? Vote! Just click on a slogan (preferably all of them) and then vote by click “I’d Wear It!” – it’s that simple! If you want to see and vote for all of my slogans then just click here or on that photo of me with the Rockband guitar. Vote for me and I will bake you an amazing tray of double chocolate chip cookies if ever we meet in real life.
This was a slogan suggestion from a friend of mine. He seems to be having a “difficult” time with science these days. And so this slogans fits his situation perfectly! But I can definitely relate, hah!
It just so happens that the other day I re-watched the J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek for the first time since seeing it in the theaters. I watched it on blu-ray and I have to say that I liked it this time around just as much as I did when I first saw it in the theaters. Watching it again made me realize how perfect the casting choice for Spock really was.
Speaking of Spock, Glenn Jones of Glennz Tees just released his newest parody tee featuring Spock and his familiar hand gesture. Live long and …. party? The shirt is called Party Trick and from the looks of the design it looks like our seemingly emotionless friend is up to some tomfoolery. Know a Trekkie in need of a Christmas present? This will make for the perfect gift!

Coty’s Thoughts:
Bombs Away! by Dale Edwin Murray and available at Tilteed.Pros: Excellent four color print, vibrant colors, fun design, printed on an American Apparel blank so you know I love the it and feel. Shirts come with custom hangtags but mine was shipped before the tags arrived. Perfect shirt for the kid at heart or for those who like to drop bombs! Cons: Not tagless, plain mailer. Price: $18
Vince Vulcan by Cloxboy.Pros: If you swear by the Sham Wow then this is the shirt for you! Perfect mashup of two epic characters, the Vulcan Spock and Vince Shlomi. This shirt comes from the guys that brought us the iSteamPhone, Exploded360, and Exploded128. Soft print on an American Apparel blank, Cons: Not tagless. I kind of wish that the print was a tad larger. Price: $20.

Here’s a T-Shirt that was created by Adam de la Mare in celebration of the recent Star Trek reboot. I did happen to catch the J.J. Abrams directed Star Trek on opening night and I have to admit that, despite my initial hesitation, I left the theater thoroughly captivated and wanting more! Abrams is an awesome storyteller.
The Evolution of Spock is essentially a tribute to our favorite Vulcan’s most recognizable characteristic – his pointy ears! You can pick up this tee from RedBubble for $25.94.
Anyone here fans of Big Bang Theory? If so, you need to check out this T-Shirt from ThinkGeek.com. Playing Jan Ken Po (Japanese name of Rock Paper Scissors) is a playground stable for any kid that grows up in Hawaii. I remember fierce Jan Ken Po battles with my elementary school buddies -- so intense! Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock is a version of Jan Ken Po that was invented by Sam Kass and Karen Bryla, and was featured on an episode of CBS’s hit show, Big Bang Theory. I’ve included the hilarious bit from the episode below for you to chuckle at. You can pick up this shirt from ThinkGeek for $15.99!
And just in case you were wondering how to play this version of Rock Paper Scissors, well, here you go:
In this episode I wear Nerdbot 1.0 by Chop Shop and review Hope from Phanica, a new tee brand based out of Wisconsin, inspired by a book on business and life, and started by Phil Keys during his early days in college. I’ve got coupon codes that you can use at both of the featured online shops so be sure to take advantage of those to save yourself some cash. As always, enjoy with tea and a comfy tee!

Coty’s Thoughts:
Hope by Phanica. Good: Printed on American Apparel so if you have experience with American Apparel you’ll know what size fits best for you, very comfortable, huge print, gradient on design looks great, tagless screenprinted label on neck for itch free comfort, fancy hangtag adds a professional touch, and lots of extra goodies included with tee for double the fun-ness! Bad: No problems with the shirt, I just wished that the rest of the Phanica line was more in the style of this tee, hopefully future tees will continue in this direction or maybe we will see more collaboration tees with Phil and his father. Price: $19.99 but you can save 15% if you use the coupon code “COTY” at checkout.
Nerdbot 1.0 by Chop Shop. Design will appeal to any Trek fan and did I mention it’s dirt cheap! Plus it comes with a temporary tattoo, you can’t beat that! Printed on a Hanes Beefy T and has a custom Chop Shop neck tag. This shirt is a steal! Price: $6.00 but you can save 15% if you use the coupon code “cotygun” at checkout.

Here’s a another great design brought to you by Cloxboy! We’ve all seen those Sham Wow infomercials on TV and probably have them embedded in our brains by now. If you haven’t seen those Sham Wow commercials then by all means check out the video below. Now, stop having a boring life and pick up this Star Trek/Sham Wow mashup! It can be yours for the low price of just $20. That’s right, $20! It’s a steal and just a on time payment. You can be proactive and change your life forever by picking up Vince Vulcan for one easy payment of $20! Sham Wow, you’ll be saying WOW ever time!
for the first time since seeing it in the theaters. I watched it on blu-ray and I have to say that I liked it this time around just as much as I did when I first saw it in the theaters. Watching it again made me realize how perfect the casting choice for Spock really was.
