Stop Following Me (Parody)

*****

This funny design is perfect for those days when you wish everyone would just be quiet.  It's a kinder, more gentle version of a much more explicit expression.  Which, let's face it, STFU may be more fun to say, but not always appropriate.  The graphic is a cartoon duck with a talk bubble showing that it is saying 'Quack' over and over.  Underneath the image the words 'Please shut the duck up' are written.

See it on t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, mugs and more.

Here we have a red Hello my name is sticker and the name is Nan Yabee Sinese.  Get some laughs at parties or family get-togethers by wearing a t-shirt or hat with this funny design.  They might have to sound it out for a second, but soon they'll realize that you're telling them your name is 'None of your business.'  The graphic is located in the left pocket area of the shirts (for most styles) so it resembles an actual sticker.

See it on all our products.

Well, those first two designs were made for people who like to throw around a bit of attitude now and then.  Now, for rock and roll, guitar, and pirate lovers ... we give you these:

This graphic features a skull with an eyepatch and instead of crossbones it has two black electric guitars behind it.  Under the image is the wording:  Rock all day Pirate all night.

Available on tees, tote bags, coasters and more.

This graphic is also available with wording that just says 'Rock and Roll.'

If you or someone you know plays  an acoustic guitar, this would make a great addition to your home or a wonderful Christmas gift idea.  We have three styles of wall clocks featuring an acoustic guitar and the words Time to Play.  The numbers on the clock face are guitar picks.  Background color is in beige.  

See all three styles of clocks.

Late Night Musings

Well, I was sitting here working on designs for the store when I decided it was too quiet and I needed music. I started listening to my newest compilation of songs that I burned to a CD.

God, sometimes I love technology. To be able to download almost any song you can think of and then put it on a CD or an MP3 player in whatever order you want with a couple clicks of a mouse or key strokes makes me giddy with happiness. Hey, I already said it was late, I'm entitled to be giddy over weird things at this hour.

Anyway, my main point of writing is to say that my favorite song of the moment is Lady Gaga's You and I. This is one of those songs that I could put on repeat for hours and not get tired of.

I remember last season on American Idol Hailey was actually given permission by Lady Gaga to sing it before it was even released. I think I thought it was catchy then, but now I am head over heels in love with it.

I love the beat, and the lyrics make me visualize scenes in my head, which to me is what a good song should do. I like Gaga's slight growl as she says 'there's only three men that I'm gonna serve my whole life, it's my Daddy, and Nebraska, and Jesus Christ, Yes.'

I like quite a lot of Lady Gaga's songs. Almost all of them are catchy and get stuck in my head. Some of her behavior I find questionable, mostly the meat dress. But I have the tendency to believe that is her theatrical side, and I guess it works for her.

If you haven't heard this song, I suggest that you give it a listen. Even if you are skeptical about it, just try it. You might like it.

That's all.

9/11 Ten Year Anniversary - My Personal Recollections

It's so hard to believe that it's been 10 years since September 11th or the term 9-11 became something that evokes memories of airplanes slamming into buildings, the World Trade Center towers collapsing down into themselves and dark smoke blotting out the skyline of Manhattan.

Then, the terrifying news that there was a bomb at the Pentagon. Which later turned out to be a plane. As it was happening there was so much information being reported that alot of it was either completely wrong or the details were incorrect.

The fourth plane went down in a field in Pennsylvania and it was later thought to be heading for either the White House or the Capital.

Along with the thoughts of the bad things that happened that day, there also comes to mind some heart-warming emotions. The bravery of the all the people who gave their lives for others as well as the heroic rescues that continued for days afterwards. Also, the way people came together to help others, sharing their emotional burdens with them.


I would like to share my personal journal entries from that day and a couple days afterward.

9/11/01
September 11, 2001 is certainly going to be a day that goes down in the history books. Today four commercial planes were hijacked and crashed into various places. The first two crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The third into the Pentagon and the other in Pennsylvania in a field, but they think it was probably destined for somewhere else.

The coverage has been on all day. They're saying it was a terrorist attack but no one's stepped up to claim it.

It's been scary today. Just because you were never sure what might happen next. Hopefully it's over. My state is in a state of emergency. Every airport in the US has closed. That happened this morning after the second plane crash. They closed most businesses early and evacuated all the high rise buildings downtown.

It is absolutely horrific what's happened today. My heart goes out to all the victims and their families. The Twin Towers collapsed. It looks like they were never even there. I've been watching the coverage non stop since I got home from work and although I know what happened and it is slowly sinking in, there is still this shocked disbelief that goes along with it. I know it's nothing compared to the people that were/are actually there but [that's how I feel.]

9/13/01
Well, the news coverage since Tuesday has been non-stop. I've been watching whenever I can. Yes, you hear alot of the same stuff over and over again, but you never know when something new will develop. I've even been listening to Talk Radio news programs the last couple days.

This is my generations historical event. We've been through other crises but none that happened virtually in our own backyard.

On Tuesday it didn't really hit me until I started to hear the personal accounts of people. And that's when it upset me. Before that it was bad, sad, horrible, all those things and more, but to hear people talk about loved ones that called them just before their planes went down was heartwrenching.

Yesterday, but especially today, since the smoke has finally started to clear you can really get a good look at what the downed buildings look like. They're gutted and split. It's incredible. Where the World Trade Center stood is just a mass of twisted, mangled metal, covered with gray dust. It's just everywhere.

9/17/11
This whole idea of war is really scary. The more I think about it the more bummed out and freaked out I get. Maybe it was naive, but I really didn't think anything like this would happen in my lifetime. I guess I had thought about it, but it's one of those things that are entirely different when you think about it, compared to when it actually happens.

Hopefully everything is going to be alright. But, it's weird. It's like things have really changed since the attacks happened. Not so much in the literal sense because I'm still doing the same things I always have, I guess it's my mentality. I know when I see a plane in the sky now (which are few and far between, by the way) it freaks me out a little bit. It's no longer, Oh, that's just a plane. Now it's more like, There's a plane, I wonder if it's getting ready to crash into something. F--king crazy. F--king scary.

So I wonder how things will have changed once this is all over with? And will it ever be all over with? Even once this is taken care of will there always be the threat of more attacks?

***

Now, ten years later I know that at some level this war will probably always go on, and it probably always was going on in one form or another. I know that in May our wonderful Navy Seals took out Bin Laden. I no longer feel the same fear when I see a plane transverse the sky, at least not to the same degree as in the beginning. But, I have never forgotten, nor will I ever, the events of September 11, 2001 and the impact that they had on me and the entire rest of the world.

Keep Calm and Carry On (Sort of)

I've added some new choices to our Keep Calm and Carry On parody shirts.  Hurricane Irene blew some inspiration my way and I have made a couple to remember her by.  Not like she won't be remembered by other things, like knocking down trees all over the place, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power for days on end, turning ordinary streets into rivers and just pulverizing the hell out of a huge chunk of the East Coast.  I think my newest graphic offers some pretty good advice when faced with a hurricane.  What do you think?

I've added some new designs to our already expansive collection.  The above mentioned sale applies to all of our graphics, including the new ones.

This one is for the TV show Castle.  It has Beckett written above Castle, then the two names are joined by a line.  On another line that is offshooting from the connecting line is the name Caskett because that is the nickname that the Kate and Rick shippers have coined for this couple that won't come clean about their feelings for each other.

And Always is their way of saying You're welcome, especially when it comes to something as meaningful as saving each other from certain death.

See it on more shirts, coffee mugs and other products.

So, I was sitting around one day thinking about how pirates say "Arrrr" and all the funny things that can be done with that.  This is what came to mind.  The image portion of the design is a white skull on a blue background with two swords crossed under it's chin.  Above it reads:  Pirates don't wear T-shirts and below it states They wear Arrr shirts!

I think it would be pretty entertaining to wear one on Talk Like a Pirate Day.  (It's September 19th, mark your calendar!)

Ye kin click here if ye be wantin' one, matey.

This is another version of the yellow smiley face with it's mouth zipped shut.  It's such an amusing graphic I decided to make this rendition with the phrase Zip it underneath his big ol' head.
It should probably be noted - I am easily amused.  But, I'm pretty sure there are some other people out there who share this trait with me.  C'mon, you know who you are. 

Also available on shot glasses, hats and men's and women's underwear.

I'm sure some time in the last 5 minutes you have heard a person use the word epic to describe an event, a tv show, a book, a song, a stain on the carpet, a loud burp ... the possibilites are endless.  I'm guilty of it myself, it's such a fun word to just throw into a conversation.                                                                            Especially when I'm talking with my folks.  Although, I have to admit, this being the internet age and all, they really are not that far behind on the times.  My father gleefully shouts OMG loudly and often during football games, usually followed by a round of expletives that he doesn't know text speak for.  This design is my nod to all things epic and it simply says It was EPIC.

Also available on necklaces, journals and keychains.

Well, everybody - that's all for now.  Take advantage of the sale and get yourself something that'll make you smile.  I'll be back soon.
