Shadow Footprints

I find myself looking for more t-shirt sites. It’s not that I have a shortage of t-shirts, I just like cool t-shirts.

Maybe I may have a problem.

Threadless is my main supplier. I’ve got the following from there:

• Haikus are easy, but sometimes they don't...
• Fish Tank
• Get Some Fresh Air
• Infinity MPG
• Allow me to explain through interpretive dance
• Stone Jungle
• Piggy Bank Heist
• Deus Ex Machina
• Tasty Table
• I'm Waiting For You In The Rain
• Rock is dead and paper killed it (Currently my overall favourite)

Five of my t-shirts come from Oddica.

• Block-Rockin' Beats
• BoomBox Spirits
• These Waves Are Mine
• Flying Fish (My favourite of these)
• Black Hawk Down

The first 3 came as part of a BoomBox Trilogy and included a lightweight bag.

Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory has some great geeky t-shirts. Sheldon's Shirts has collected all the best t-shirts worn by Sheldon and Leonard. The site links to many other sites selling the same, or similar, shirts to those worn by the characters.

I've ordered Saur Loser from Shirt.Woot!. At $US10+$US5 for internationsla shipping it's low risk. Nevermore and Snowman are others I'm keeping my eye on, to order after I've received the first. They'll be $US5 more each, due to the way Shirt.Woot! works but that's still cheap. The list of other old ones has more good shirts on it.

In researching this post I found many other interesting t-shirt sites. Some are:

• EndangeredWear with limited edition t's.
• Donkeyshines, Land of Absurd T-Shirts.
• Psycho Reindeer.
• Ten Bills. I particularly like Paint by Numbers.
• Busted Tees. There's 3 I really like. Rock Paper Scissors is out of stock; I am away from my computer right now and Goodbye Cruel World are in, but at $US20 they're not as good a buy.

Please Dress Me is a site showcasing other sites. It lead me to Coffee Break but, at the current exchange rate, $US19 plus shipping, is not comfortable for my budget, especially given the alternatives on offer.

Threadless does have others I like, that I'm yet to buy.

• Plot, it builds character.
• Satan's Little Helper
• Bird Migration

Maybe I don't have a problem at all.

T-shirt Coupons

Please Dress Me also has coupons for other sites, including Threadless ($3 off), Busted Tees (10% off), DeezTeez (15% off), Collar Free (30% off).

Addendum

There's 3 other links I should have included.

Firstly there's the t-shirts I bought from ThinkGeek last month? I got Blue Sun and Inconceivable.

Then there is Despair Wear, by the makers of demotivational posters. I have The Ironic Tee, Your Blog, and Time for Action (not to be worn in corporate meetings).

I also forgot to mention MakeUseOf which put me on to shirt.woot!

[Update] I also forgot Just Tees, a kiwi company whose mailing list I subscribe to.

I really enjoy The Big Bang Theory. (Official site.)

Is it bad that I understand, or think I do, the many science and pulp culture references? Am I laughing at me when I'm laughing?

Sheldon wears some of the coolest geek t-shirts.

The theme song is by Barenaked Ladies and the following video takes the show's credits and extends it to the end of the song.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unravelling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!

It all started with the big BANG!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!
