T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:08:48 -0700

I has a scheme. Or, more properly, Ariana and I has a scheme. On Twitter, I’ve been joking about turning some of my stupider comments into t-shirts. And then I thought, hold on, there’s only one way to make this joke funnier. And that’s to actually do it. So Ariana set up a Cafe Press store (because this is a joke and engaging with a serious maker of t-shirts would be less funny to us), and... well, this is what we’re going to do.

Through warrenellis.com and this Cafe Press store, we’re going to release one t-shirt a week. It’ll go live on Monday... and it’ll die Sunday night. Each one lives for a week, and then it’s replaced by the next week’s shirt. Until I either run out of dumb ideas or Ariana’s brain explodes.

So, every Monday, I’ll post the new shirt here, and you can peer at it more at http://www.cafepress.co.uk/electrophonic.

Anyway. I present to you T-Shirt Of The Week #001: LOVE:

Also, for this first week, we’re also offering a couple of other things that will be perennial items. Mostly because I wanted one of these for myself:

(And also a MAN COOK MEAT WITH FIRE "splatter-shield", because Ariana’s crazy)

Thank you for your kind attention.

Well now.

That'll solve any problems of excess cashage I may have.

Thanks for that.

@taphead

Yar, I went and purchased a mug.

Something tells me it will not be appropriate for work.

I suspect "Where's My Fucking Decaf" won't have quite the same ring as the original.

I echo Taphead's statement.

ByeBye Moneys.

Nice idea, particularly as I find it hard to find Tees I'd actually want to wear. Any plans for doing black versions with white text?

Will the "man cook meat with fire" splatter shield be available for a while, because I might have to add that to my Christmas list

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:19:01 -0700

The splatter-shield, god help me -- Ariana talked me into that one, by which I mean she told me she was gonna do it, I said YOU ARE A CRAZY GIRL BACK AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER, she just did it and put it up there anyway -- is a perennial item.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

EVERYONE WANTS A SPLATTER SHIELD.

Nice apron. Would you ever try dog meat, Warren, or does it have to be a cow?

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

LBA — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:39:03 -0700

EVERYONE WANTS A SPLATTER SHIELD.

fuck yeah.

I even like the name of it. It's not an "apron" it's a fucking splatter shield!

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:45:09 -0700

Any meat is good meat.

It's not an "apron" it's a fucking splatter shield!

DAMN RIGHT

I'd love to sink my teeth into a bit of lion. "Not so funny now, is it?" I'd cry.

ian holloway — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:08:26 -0700

unless they've improved in the last year the Cafepress t-shirts are piss poor quality - really thin and flimsy cotton.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:35:26 -0700

They're reported by many to have upgraded and improved over the last year.

Brian le Golem — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:15:03 -0700

I just think one week is too short to sell these insanities. And you've added up Canandian dollars...my birthday being in about a month...gnyark.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

oldhat — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:18:21 -0700

DAMN IT WARREN, this couldn't have waited a week or two when I would actually have some money to buy the mug?

I'm really looking forward to seeing all sorts of the other t-shirts of the week.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:24:13 -0700

The mug will stick around. The shirts will not.

(unless there ends up being massive demand to bring one back)

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

taphead — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:27:19 -0700

Will you be sticking to white shirts?

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

oldhat — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:41:36 -0700

Oh, awesome! I thought it was only going to be available on the first week only. That's a relief! The mug will go marvelously with my "FUCK DEATH" mug. I'll have to choose which one to drink out of each morning.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:42:19 -0700

There will be black shirts in the future, yes.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

taphead — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:50:10 -0700

Excellent. This means one will eventually be covering my guitar. I have a scheme as well.

Along with planetary Warren, you seem to have solved all of my Xmas present problems this year...

Will order some mugs later this week...

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

dispophoto — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:00:57 -0700

how about a "SCIENCE will fuck you" mug? would be popular amongst a wide range of ppl...

Spiraltwist — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:07:11 -0700

This is excellent - thank you Warren and Ariana.

Question though: Is the font going to stay the same throughout the run of shirts, or is it going to vary by sayings?

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:12:05 -0700

Oh, there'll be lots of changes as we go.

@Ariana

Crap, well, I bought it in pounds before I saw the US value version. Oh well.

Oh fantastic. That's TWO people off my X-mas list!

Crap, well, I bought it in pounds before I saw the US value version. Oh well.

Shouldn't have mattered -- the prices are just converted straight across the board, as far as I know...

ZJVavrek — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:38:51 -0700

I think what's really great is that, because of how the coffee cups are angled, it's a discretion shot. "ere's my cking OFFE". This is defeated by the product name being prominently displayed, but I didn't notice that at first and had to puzzle it out from the picture. I almost never drink coffee and am trying to avoid spending money, but it's looking mighty tempting to me right now.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

DowneastDredge — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:26:22 -0700

I shall kill a Moose with my bare hands this winter in honor of the splatter shield...

Or maybe more appropriately with my penis...

If it comes out of hiding...

Because it's fucking cold...

Cafepress' quality has gotten a lot better, though I recommend going with their dark shirt option. I actually just started a shop there, and I find the printing quality is much better that way. With white shirts they can just use heat transfers, with dark shirts they use a fabric printing machine. /end shill

Oh for fuck's sake, you had to do this on pay-day didn't you....one t-shirt, and one mug are now heading on their way to merrye olde Nottinghame.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:07:19 -0700

I thank you.

Warren, Ariana
-Thankyou for coming up with this insanity. I'm smiling ear-to-ear and laughing.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

Ariana — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:46:48 -0700

I'm smiling ear-to-ear and laughing.

I know, right? This is some of the most fun I've had on the internets. And every time someone buys one of those SPLATTER-SHIELDS I totally crack up...!

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

Rootfireember — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:53:00 -0700

Ariana-
It's great. Absolutely great. I'm showing it to all my friends. I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

Hayama — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:53:51 -0700

I want the "Splatter-Shield" image as a print so I can frame it & hang it in my kitchen.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

warrenellis — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:42:31 -0700

Remember -- the apron and mug are perennials, but the shirt dies Sunday.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

oldhat — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:39:21 -0700

Agreed with Hayama, I'd love to frame the text and hang it in my kitchen when I get a place of my own. Probably beside a framed Scott Pilgrim recipe for vegan shepard's pie just for the contrast.

I should have the money next week for a mug and a t-shirt. If not well...the week after.

And I'd also like to put in my vote for a tea mug as well.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

PintSizedCat — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:15:42 -0700

This is unfair... how can I choose between a tshirt and a mortgage?

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

Ariana — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:42:45 -0700

You just need to decide which thing you want to live in longer, really.

Winther — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:37:53 -0700

Just to be clear - never used Cafepress before - from what I can tell, the co.uk site isn't so much an actual local branch as it is just an easy way for Brits to see how much stuff actually costs without converting currency? That is, it's still shipped from the U.S. regardless? Because ordering outside the E.U. has a fairly hefty extra price tag, and a parcel that size is sure to be picked up by the toll-trolls...

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

Ariana — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:24:41 -0700

Winther, worldwide economy shipping rates should be $7USD for the first item, $4USD each additional. The UK shop factors in local (UK-only) VAT and duties into the (express and priority) shipping costs, is the basic difference.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

Winther — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:14:46 -0700

Yeah, that's what I figured. That'll mean 25% extra in taxes, and a fixed "checking fee" of 155 DKK, roughly $30.

Still going to buy it, just wanted to know the expenses before going in. My dad NEEDS that coffee mug for Christmas. And I want that shirt.

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

djtoell — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:34:36 -0700

Shirt came today. Love it. Posted an idiotic picture of myself wearing it on Facebook, of all things...

Akiramich — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:14:59 -0700

Got the spatter shield and the coffee mug in the mail yesterday. The mug is outstanding quality and a nice size. The splatter sheild is a bit on the smallish side [in that you could not work an outdoor grill wearing just that] but it does have two nifty pockets on the front. Im thinking I'll wear mine tonight while passing out treats to all the Halloween'ers.

Purchased. However, if possible, you should make some black ones. We're not really a white-wearin' crowd, are we? (Damn satanists!)

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

odarable — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:48:19 -0700

Eek, purchase failed. And I don't have time to correct it now, because it takes 45 minutes to walk to my new job as a bartender (I haven't killed myself nor anyone else yet so I'm speeding up the process...) Warren, dearest, don't remove it until Sunday evening?

/off to terrible job

T-shirt Of The Week #001 - LOVE

Winther — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:02:18 -0700

Right. Done. Bought. In the nick of time, 'cause that's just how I roll. (This is the first, and only, time I will ever use that sentence. Even ironically)

A t-shirt for me, and the first Christmas gift taken care of, well ahead of time. That just leaves... ugh. On second thought, let's not go there just yet. I'll let that rest until December twentysomething.

Last chance, folks -- I'm smokin' a cigarette then killing the shirts.

And they're gone.
