Holy Cow Pig! There’s lots of sweet swine designs being submitted by our talented ShirtcityClub members! Apparently, pigs are "in!"
Check out "Karate Pig," a design created and submitted by Jota/Videa of Valencia, Spain! Click on the picture, but don’t be shocked when the page comes up in Spanish! If you want to view it in English with US dollar prices, just click on the pull-down menu (it will be displaying "Spain") on the top right side of the screen and change the country to United States. Voila: you’ve got $$$ instead of €€€!
Now it’s time to take to the skies with "Pigasus" from Boutique D’Annique out of Berlin, Germany. In case you didn’t know, pigs are actually quite intelligent creatures, though they may not look it. In fact, this "pigasus" here may be the prototype for a new genetically altered breed of pig (flying is handy, after all… no security lines and delays!) being created by a smart swine scientific summit!
Our final featured hog is one for the Vegans thanks to Mattop of Milan, Italy. Shirtcity appreciates carnivores, vegetarians, pescetarians, and vegans (and whomever else) alike, so we’re pleased that Mattop is offering extra support. Pigs are tasty, but they’re also very sweet (ha!) and should be appreciated, consumed or not!
Check out the ShirtcityClub for more great hog graphics. Just perform a search for "pig" and you’ll be delighted with the results!
Who knows… you might even find a Spider Pig hiding-out!
Oh, c’mon, this is funny. Don’t be indignant, all you married people. Shirtcity is just making a funny about gettin’ hitched, that’s all!
We don’t think that the fun game of life is over when you tie the knot (unless, of course, you marry a total loser.) No, this design just embodies the stereotype that life suddenly morphs into dinner conversations like:
"How was your day, honey?"
"Fine. How was yours?"
"Fine."
"Oh, well that’s good."
"Yep."
No, that’s just preposterous (unless, as stated above, you marry a total loser… don’t do that!) Married life is just a fun and exciting as single and dating life! If your partner is your best friend, you’re sure to have a spectacular wedded future together, no matter the bumps and scrapes. Still being single, I’m of the opinion that marriage is sublime and magical, though I’m ready to admit I’m sure it won’t be peaches and cream absolutely all of the time… or will it?!
Marriage = Game Over? No! In the words of wacky Wayne and Garth, Marriage = "Game On!!" Still, it is a funny design, and we should really all get one so we can make other people laugh or gasp in horror. To be sure, life is what you make it: let’s make it a game!

This week, Shirtcity produces praise to the puzzling crime drama, Pulp Fiction, particularly to "problem solver" Wolf, played by veteran actor, Harvey Keitel. The "Wolf" comes in handy in all sorts of situations, especially those of an underworld persuasion. Check out the message in the design though, and you’ll see that he’s much more useful than your regular brand goon:
Calamitous Conundrum:
You’re trying desperately to open a jar of peanut butter (Peter Pan, maybe? That salmonella scandal is over, right?) so you can make little Timmy’s PBJ before the school bus comes in 3 minutes, but it just won’t budge, not even a teensy, weensy bit!
What to do?? If you don’t make a nice, sensible sandwich for Timmy’s lunch, what will his friends in the cafeteria say? What will their parents think?? Oh, the horror!!!
Clever, Cognitive Call:
Give old Wolfie a ring and implore him to bring his capable hands over to help you screw the head off the very disagreeable Mr. Pan! Use those words exactly, and I guarantee he’ll speeding immediately, directly to you, full-throttle. And you need him in 3 minutes? Well he’ll be there in 1 minute (relative to the 30 minutes/10 minutes time-frame quoted above) so Timmy will have plenty of time to grab his all-American sandwich and hop up into the big yellow [kid] taxi.
Problem solved.
Beers all around in celebration of two new items offered by Shirtcity.com! Helping you to accessorize your life, Shirtcity now offers stickers* and vinyl decals that are perfect for decorating computers, empty walls, cars, and friends(?).
*There are three different sizes for the stickers, and depending on the size you choose, you will receive one, two, or three for one order. Decals, no matter the size, come one to an order.
Here’s the break-down:
Stickers: Decals:
2.07in. x 2.07in. = 3 4.13in. x 4.13in.
4.13in. x 4.13in. =2 5.9in. x 5.9in.
7.48in. x 7.48in. =1 8.27in. x 8.27in.
And now, lovely readers, it’s time for you to get creative!!!
Yes, sorry Jack, but you’re just old hat now thanks to Saturday Night Live, NBC’s popular (though not as much since Adam Sandler, Chris Farley (RIP) Will Ferrell, Tracy Morgan, Cheri Oteri and a few other geniuses left the show) late night comedy-variety show.
That’s right, now it’s Dick’s turn to be in the box, and I can tell you, he’s damn well excited about it (literally!) In the December 16th, 2006 episode hosted by Justin Timberlake (who can actually sing AND act unlike most others in Hollywood,) the "A Special Christmas Box" short featuring Andy Samberg and of course, JT (there was singing involved, after all) was performed with much fanfare and success following! Check out the seedy skit on YouTube (warning: this is likely quite unsuitable for minors, even though it’s funny as all heck!)
And now thanks to Shirtcity, we can all get one of these shirts and be allowed to be a bit naughty in public, safely eluding the standard "my heavens, Margaret, look at that perv over there" judgements. Yippie!!!
If you’re not familiar with this famous phrase and gesture, here’s a quick synopsis:
The phrase "Live long and prosper," an abbreviated version of a traditional Jewish blessing, was made popular by beloved, bowl-cut Dr. Spock, a member of TV’s famed Star Trek Enterprise Space Ship crew. It’s not tough to figure out the meaning…
Live long = be alive for an extended period of time
Prosper = be wealthy*
Our model here has the hand sign down-pat (who is Pat, anyway, and why in the world is he always down?,) which is more than I can do. Go on, give it a try; I bet you can’t manipulate your fingers that way (and if you can, well then you’ve got yourself a good love life on the horizon!) 
*N.B. Shirtcity whole-heartedly believes that wealth entails much more than just material goods and currency. Wealth is most celebrated and precious as wonderful friends, loving relationships, simplistic pleasures, laughter, tears (of joy, mind you,) excitement, and totally cool t-shirts!
Dude, check out this super sweet Monkey from the Shirtcity designers! He’s obviously listening to some dope beats, and you could be too, if you got into his vibe. Not sure how? Need some help? Check out this clip from a Family Guy episode (you know I can’t resist a chance for an FG reference!) to get inspired by the evil monkey in Chris’ closet! After watching it, you’ll understand why this monkey has chilled-out and is most likely in the mood to order one of our "vegetarian" shirts (AmSTARdam’s calling…!)
Pick up your iPod (or walkman) and start rockin’ out to some tunes!
If you’re not familiar with Elizabethan Collars, I’ll just tell you about them right now: they totally suck. Even Queen Elizabeth II will gasp in horror at the site of one, as it’s certainly not graceful and monarchical like the regal ruffs made popular during Queen Liz I’s reign!
No, the Elizabethan Collar will pretty much be classified by all animals as a cruel and unusual torture device. Poor doggies and kitties (and lions and tigers and bears, oh my!) have to deal with these restrictive collars after surgeries, both minor and major. To be fair, they do serve a benevolent purpose by not allowing the animals to bite at their wounds, thus greatly reducing the risk of a post-op infection, but still… they’re awful. Just look at how unattractive and unbelievably fashion-UNforward they are!
Hmmm, maybe we should unite and wear the "Life sucks" shirt to show our support of our domestic (and wild) friends across the globe. If we’re "wearing" the collar too, they won’t feel so ostracized and embarrassed. Yes, let’s do it! It’s time for your philanthropy of the week!
Is it 5:01pm on Friday yet? No? Well, that sucks.
How about just pretending that it is? Yes, let’s do that. Get the "Siesta is what I need" shirt and just chill the hell out! If someone has a problem with your lackadaisical behavior, just let them know that you’re actually working very, very hard on your acting skills, miming the still-life graphic on your shirt. That’s how Brad Pitt (ooh la la!!) got started, right?
You know, if we hype it enough, we might get the government to sanction an actual siesta in the United States! The Spaniards enjoy the luxury mid-day slumber, so why can’t we? We can. We will. We must!
