nWo 4-Life T-shirt



I'm trying to remember how to do the NwO 4-life hand gesture. I'm channeling my inner 10th grader. It's not working out so well.




Is this it? Or is this just "rawk"? Dammit, I can't remember.



Oh well, this wolf looks scary. Click here for footage of the nWo guys in action -- in the WWF. I must have missed that incarnation.

How to Keep A Gullible Person Busy T-shirt

If you look closely, you will see there are some light brown discolorations on this shirt. If I were a betting man, I'd say it was from Diet Coke. Perhaps Diet Dr. Pepper. Just thought you should be aware.

Drink. Pee. Repeat. Get the T-Shirt.

Drink. Pee. Repeat. Get the T-shirt



I am indebted to Beer City for this shirt, which I uncovered in a bin at Goodwill. My favorite item of theirs is a tote bag that proclaims "I'm from Milwaukee and that's not funny." It's not funny because it's true!

A few years ago I met the founder, Rick Keppler. He's the kind of guy who if he accidentally finds himself in the wrong room, he convinces everyone else that they're in the wrong room. He did that in school, and I wrote about it here.

You can also follow Beer City's twitter feed here.

A possibly true Chris Farley story



Chris Farley, whose quote from "Tommy Boy" adorns this shirt, went to college at my alma matter. There's a story about his Marquette days that has been passed down, though I can't vouch for its accuracy. Goes like this:

Farley was supposed to give a "How To" speech in his communications class. Farley came in on the day of his presentation with a full can of beer. He just popped it open, chugged it, smashed the can on his forehead... then walked out. Never said a word.

Like I said, can't say if it true.

Shirts That Say Things You Never Could

Quick. Name the year: R.E.M. puts out a ballsy rock record, Billy Corgan insists he's still relvant, Blind Melon is getting ready to tour, Pearl Jam is the biggest ticket of the year, Scott Weiland's having "band trouble", and everybody's loving the latest Lemonheads LP.

If you said May 2008 you'd be right, but what I wanted you to say was May of 1994. Crazy but true -- crazy AND true. In junior high, my friend Matt got in trouble for wearing this shirt to school. Whatever dude.



In retrospect, parties in 1994 DID suck -- a typcial night would include Ian hurting his foot on the trampoline, then someone's dad would pick up all the girls in their Astro by 9:30, we would drink all the Coca-Cola soon after and just wind up quoting Dennis Hopper in Speed for the rest of the night.

U.S.A.! (Basketball) U.S.A.! (Basketball)



Although basketball is now a global game, a highlight of my youth was watching the "Dream Team" destory the world on the Olympic hardcourt. Cockiness, selfish play and downright hubris eventually led to some embarrassing finishes, but the '92 summer games were the stuff of legend.

Now, quicker than you can say "Pau Gasol", the world has caught up with us, and all I have left to remember it is:
  • Jordan, Johnson and Bird playing on the same team
  • This dark blue ringer tee, with red-piping on the sleeves
  • A dunk I fondly remember called "The French Facial"

Awana Shirt: Doesn't Everyone?



Awana this and Awana that. Does it ever end?

Camp Awana, in actuality, is a youth church camp. My friend used to go to it in the summer. Although I never heard anything about the Jesus part of it, I heard a lot about a giant inflatable raft that kids would jump on from the highdive to catapult their friends into the river.

I never went to summer camp. It sounded pretty awesome. There was only one other camp in the world I would rather be at... Camp Cucamunga. But that had more to do with hanging out with Winnie Cooper, pre-nosejob Jennifer Aniston, and other various stars from ABC's TGIF lineup.

I digress. Whoever designed this shirt should get out of the Jesus camp biz and just put out awesome shirts. Anymore like this and I'll have to apply for a counselor position. THUNDERBOLTS!

The Three Stooges T-shirt


I got this from a guy who was moving from Milwaukee's east side to Ventura, California, to be a schoolteacher. I guess Three Stooges T-shirts aren't allowed in Californian classrooms or something.

This shirt seems to be missing its bottom hem, or at least it's creatively hemmed. But it doesn't really seem to affect the wearability of the shirt.

Catholic Cemetery T-shirt: Good for walking or carrying beagles



Someone asked if Sadie (the beagle) was pregnant. She is not. For the record, she is incapable of bearing children. Or puppies, for that matter.

She's just on anti-seizure medication that's causing her to gain weight. So that's why she looks a little chunkier than normal. She's not with puppy.



As for this shirt, I got it from an actual grave digger. He works in the cemetery where the real-life Exorcist is buried. I couldn't make this stuff up. You can read about it here.

Get your mind out of the gutter



Ah, New Glarus Brewing Co. "Uff-Da" Bock. Good stuff for 2:54 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. This blogger calls it "mighty tasty." He doesn't lie.



As for the shirt, I think the designers may be ripping off the Hash House Harriers, whose motto is "A drinking group with a running problem." I once did a beer run with a local HHH chapter, which consisted of jogging a mile and slamming a beer after each lap.

Another time, I ran with them while half the group wore wedding dresses. Both true stories.

Can't handle this shirt

Jess wants to know, Can you handle this?



You might think so. I mean, she looks sweet enough, right?



But you don't want to get on her bad side. By like, say, growing a beard. Trust me.

Used is the new new: Reviews, Previews and Teeviews

Coming soon to teecycle.org...


Oh yes, this is just a small, small portion of the awesome we have in store for you.

It's been a hell of a week for teecycle.org. We sold our first shirts, received our first international orders and got shout outs from the New York Times, Keith Olbermann and the Huffington Post.

Oh, wait. What I meant was The Marquette Tribune, Tcritic.com, T-Shirts Around the Internet and Kramp and Alder on FM 102.1. Oh wait, that was just me blabbing about teecycle on the radio. Read all about Teecycle in the news... and in your drawers on Brian's blog.

As for previews, follow me on twitter or subscribe via email or RSS feed (links on the right) to get updated every time a new (used) shirt is added.

Finally, teeview: No more beard.
