Teenormous T-shirts

As long as you learn, it's not a failure. Good scientists will tell you that any test that yields valid data is a valid test. They might be a bit depressed when they say it, but it's true. Other scientists who will argue that any test is valid if you learn something from the experience. This is particularly true of ones who can't predict what's going to happen. We're not talking about the ability to know ahead of time the result of an experiment. That's the point of doing the experiment in the fist place. But on the most basic level, what's going to happen? The sort of unexpected things that happen when you mix Jamie with C4 or killer robots and Grant (hint: they weren't killer to begin with). We kid. We kid. But failure is an important part of the learning process, in both science and life. If you haven't already heard it and have a free half hour, listen to Adam Savage's speech at Maker Faire Bay Area 2009 on some of his colossal failures for perspective. And then come back he

Measure Twice; Cut Once We learned something writing the copy for this shirt. "Seppuku" and "harakiri" are two different ways to read the same Kanji characters. You probably already knew that, but we're easily intrigued by words, and we think it's neat so we're repeating it here. Generally seppuku is the written version, so that's what's on this shirt, although we guess if you're explaining your shirt to someone else, maybe you pronounce it harakiri? Anyhow, it's a silly shirt, so probably such serious pondering is out of place. This mustard-colored, 100% cotton t-shirt says basically, "In case of emergency, cut here." The right sleeve has a small note that points out the shirt's from J-List.

Who knew? Well, probably the aerospace engineer, for starters.... Because of the crowd you run with, "It's not like it's rocket science" isn't a phrase you can toss around lightly. You probably are already aware if there's a brain surgeon in your midst, but you never know with rocket scientists. They're sneaky and more likely to evolve into other life forms while no one's looking. If their funding at NASA dries up they can go become a project manager at a Fortune 500 company. Or maybe they're weekend rocket scientists with the National Guard, working on the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). They're hidden until the point of ignition, and then the jig is up. "Actually it IS rocket science" printed in white on a black, 100% cotton t-shirt.

We Still Don't Know the Name of the Shirt We Saw That Day We don't know why the artists who created Jinta Yadomi from AnoHana chose red for his chiteijin shirt. It seems sort of antithetical. Shouldn't you choose black or brown or some muted color to represent an "underground person"? Maybe the color choice is foreshadowing, letting the audience know ahead of time that Jintan isn't destined to live out his life in isolation as a hikikomori. And, then again, maybe it just looked good. We're gonna go with that. Red, 100% cotton t-shirt with the characters 地底人 (chiteijin) on it in black. The right sleeve has a small note that points out the shirt's from J-List.

You don't have to be "tare," but you can if you'd like. We'd really never thought about it before encountering this product, but we love the Japanese idea that light and airy things have a distinct sound-quality to them. A sheep who's just had a volume-enhancing shampoo? Fuwa fuwa! Eating cotton candy on a cloud? Fuwa fuwa! Annndddd this poncho? Fuwa fuwa! It really is incredibly soft. In fact it's soooo soft that they weighted the back hem with buttons so you don't float away. Okay. We might have made that last bit up. But the buttons do help the lightweight cape hang nicely, plus then you have two extra buttons in case you lose the ones on the front. This will not fool the pandas in the habitat at the zoo. They'll be all, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" But It is freaking adorable. The hood features two little panda ears: black on the front, white on the back. The poncho closes with four black, oversized buttons. It has two mostly decorative pockets on the front. The cape mea

The wallet that Cap'n Nemo would use. It is ten years since our first adventure, and three months into our second. Captain Nemo returned with a new version of the Nautilus. This version was very similar, except it sailed in the air. He brought us back aboard (myself, Conseil, Ned) for another voyage. But this time his waters were not under the seas, but beyond the skies. And past our planet lay others and wonders that I hope to document as I did our previous trip. The captain does have some new decoration, though, adorning his vessel: an octopus resting on a gear nestled in a pair of wings. I hope you enjoy learning more about this symbol as much as I, Professor Pierre Aronnax, have. Ok, so we love this Steampunk Bi-Fold Wallet and all it inspires. Why does it have an octopus on a gear on wings? Why does the gear move? Is it a slim-fit wallet to fit into a captain's coat or flight jacket? Whatever. Like we said, we love this all leather wallet so much, we felt the need to compos

Here Be Dragon We see people with awesome piercings every so often and think, "That'd be neat to have, but they must have been working on that for years." For people who don't have that kind of time, we introduce the commitment-free Dragon Ear Wrap. He hovers over your right shoulder, whispering bad ideas into your ear (like dragons do), but he doesn't require any special piercings; a single, standard earring hole will do. Gotta be in your right earlobe for this to work, though. And, as you can tell from MeccaBecca in the photo above, he looks especially great with cartilage piercings, as if he's guarding his hoard. (Note that because of how he curls behind your ear, you might have to modify the backs on your cartilage studs for him to fit, but it's totally worth it to have your ear look like he's curled around a glittering treasure.) This dragon, made from English pewter, is a little over 3" tall, a little over 1 1/2" wide, and around 3/4 deep. It weighs just under 3/4s of an o

2 out of 2 Dothraki Handmaidens Agree Whenever you're learning something new, there is a set of precepts you have to start from. The known knowns. Certain things just ARE. You may learn the whys behind them later; then again, you may never learn the whys. 2+2=4? It is known. Alphabet goes A to Z? It is known. Stove, electrical outlets, and whirling saw of death not for touching? It is known. And while generally we're all about asking tough questions, sometimes it's enjoyable just to sit back and enjoy the ride. "It Is Known" inscribed in parchment off-white on a chocolate brown, babydoll (fitted) t-shirt.

Giga Pudding mascot and logo on the front with many falling / stacked Giga Puddings on the back of a royal blue, 100% cotton t-shirt.

The Prophecies Of The Simian Ninja Canons Ring True... If you were wise, you never doubted. If you doubted you have little chance of understanding the complexity and consequences of your mental miscalculation. It's very simple. Much like the swift and masterfully orchestrated barrage of a monkey slapping you silly all the while sorting different systems of data hierarchically in his head. His disappearance is even swifter as you struggle to your senses helplessly... Killer coding ninja monkeys do exist. At long last, like Jedis of yesteryear, they have revealed themselves... 100% cotton heavyweight Black t-shirt. The phrase 'Killer coding ninja monkeys do exist' is written beneath 4 representative icons (including 'Monkey' in Chinese). The glaring red eyes of a simian along with his fierce blade loom across the shirt. Checkout a closeup of the design only right here!

Bundle up. It's gonna be a rough one. "There are five pups," he told Father. "Three male, two female." "What of it, Jon?" "You have five trueborn children," Jon said. "Three sons, two daughters. The direwolf is the sigil of your House. Your children were meant to have these pups, my lord." - Jon Snow and Eddard Stark, A Game of Thrones This shirt bears a snarling, grey direwolf, the symbol of the house of Stark of Winterfell from George R.R. Martin's epic trilogy series A Song of Ice and Fire. The text reads "Winter is Coming,"House Stark's motto, and beneath "Stark" and "A Game of Thrones" in smaller typeface. This is a seafoam blue, fashion-weight (which means it's thin and soft) babydoll (fitted) t-shirt.. Officially-licensed Game of Thrones apparel. Note: Please reference the table below to choose your size. This is a more straight-cut shirt than many of our offerings, meaning the waist measurement isn't significantly smaller than the chest.

Lagomorph of DOOM! Bunnies. They're cute, but inside you know they're plotting our demise. They're bitter for being classified as Rodentia all those years, and now they're ready to get even. Screw being a prey animal; it's time to take the offensive. Tiny white bunny skull and crossbones make up this large print of a bunny skull and crossbones. Bunny print is super cute under blacklight and also glows in the dark. Note: Please reference the table below to choose your size. S M L XL Chest 29 1/2 in. 31 1/2 in. 34 1/2 in. 36 in.

What is this I don't even It may be an Internet meme, but we know you have this moment in real life all the time. Who gave that guy a copy of PowerPoint? Does HR really think that policy is going to fly? Whose idea of a parking job is that atrocity? We think this is the perfect shirt for big corporate hoo-hah meetings. We stress that this has to be a big meeting, though. You don't want to be caught trying to explain why you're wearing this to your manager. You want to be the one body in a sea of confused faces silently expressing what everyone else is feeling. "LOL WUT" printed in white on a black, babydoll (fitted) shirt.

Crafty Like an Octopus It's inevitable. We always have too many craft projects going at once. There's the thing we're sewing and the thing we're knitting and the thing that's drying.... If only we had 8 arms, we could do it all at once! But we imagine this octopus still has enough projects going that it wishes it had 16 muscular hydrostats. That's just the way of the world. An octopus works on various craft projects, including knitting a tentacle warmer, making some paper dolls, and blinging out a human skull with a hot glue gun, on this deep teal, ladies' shirt. This is on a softer tee (4.2 oz) than our standard babydolls. Note: Please reference the table below to choose your size. This is a more straight-cut shirt than many of our offerings, meaning the waist measurement isn't significantly smaller than the chest. S M L XL 2X Chest 34 in. 36 in. 38 in. 40 in. 42 in. Length 23 in. 24 in. 25 in. 26 in. 27 in.

Resistance Equals Voltage Divided By Current Events More of a Vulcan statement than a Borg one, we think you'll still find this t-shirt quite appetizing. Unless you've recently wired up your own M.A.M.E cabinet or added a modchip to your Xbox, chances are good that your voltmeter and ammeter are still hiding in the garage at your parents house from your high school physics days. Leave them there and pick-up a digital multi-meter, jeez ;) 100% cotton heavyweight black tshirt with the phrase 'resistance is futile' written in white front and center. Underneath (in parenthesis) it says 'if < 1 ohm'. Haha.

Get on the squirrel. There's no time to explain. You have your reasons for doing things. Maybe you can't explain it. Maybe you can but you don't think you need to or should. We'll remind you that no amount of justification or rationalization in the world will fix stupid, so why bother? That's a lot of wasted effort for very little return. We say "very little" because maybe you enjoy watching humans get that look the dog gets after you fake throw the ball. But we digress. You know, sometimes people just need to be told that it's none of their business. This shirt can do that for you. "I have my reasons." printed in white on a black, 100% cotton t-shirt.

Built for Comfort and Speed The perfect camp shirt just makes you feel more relaxed while wearing it. Casual Friday isn't exactly kicking back on the beach with the latest sci-fi paperback and a margarita ("and I said no salt"), but when we get a draft off the cool breeze from the server closet, we can dream. This shirt makes us feel that much closer to toes in the sand. This work shirt features three pockets (one chest with magnetic closure, two side-seam) with SeV's tested weight management system, which keeps it from looking like you're carrying your work with you. It also has the Personal Area Network (PAN) system of holes and conduits so that your headphones stay right where you need them, untangled and not on display. The modal/polyester blend is sand-washed for extra softness. Machine washable. Note: Please reference the table below to choose your size. These are the measurements of the person wearing the shirt, not the shirt itself. S M L XL XXL Chest 36 in. 40 in. 44 in

Lounge around the birdhouse Anyone who has had a bird as a pet can tell you that they can be messy creatures. After all, a bird in the wild has acres of land to fly (and poop) over, but we're confining them to a tiny cage with yesterday's newspaper. And just FYI, if you're papering your bird cage with last season's ThinkGeek catalog, a certain photographer would like to have some choice words with you... if you catch our drift. Is your house as messy as a birdcage? Been too busy trying to get three stars on every level of every variant of Angry Birds to clean up your droppings? We've been there, done that. If you have "priorities" you'd better get to them. Put on your pajamas, slip Red Birds on your feet, and lounge in your favorite chair with some Hoth Cocoa until you're done. And what do you know, we totally have every bit of that plan except for the pajamas. You're on your own for those. Product Specifications Lounge around the birdhouse with Red Birds on your feet Plush and f

Portable apparel modification! Do you have a lonely jacket or backpack that could use some company? Or maybe you just want to have one more way to show off your geekdom. Well we've got you covered. Just get one (or more!) of our Iron-on patches and problem solved. These are the same patches used on our work shirts, but they can go just about anywhere that an iron can. Available in Geek, Hacker, 31337, Gamer. Embroidered patches with heat-sensitive adhesive on the back. To apply, put the patch on the area that you wish to apply it to, cover with a cloth to prevent damage to the patch, and press a hot iron on the patch for several seconds until well-adhered. If properly adhered, it should be washable without coming off. For an extra measure of protection, you might want to sew the patch on! Note: Tux patch no longer available. Dimensions: Oval patch (Geek): W: 3.25in x H: 1.75in Rectangular patches (31337, Hacker, Gamer): W: 3.5in x H: 1.5in

Betentacled Awesome You know, it's a revelation when you see a DIY project you did in high school done really well. "Oh, so THAT'S what it's supposed to look like." That's exactly what we thought when we saw this bleach-stenciled apparel. For us, bleach stencils were mandated when our unique teenage combination of lazy and messy ruined our favorite shirts. This tentacle stuff elevates the common bleach stencil to a whole other level, so we were pretty excited when this artist out of Baltimore got to the point where she could accommodate ThinkGeek's cephalopodic needs. Note that because the design is handmade for each shirt, the placement of the tentacles on each garment is unique. We don't know what you're going to get, but we can promise it won't look just like it does in these photos. That's how art works. Tentacles twine 360? around the body of this black, full-zip, 50% cotton / 50% polyester hoodie. Ribbed cuffs and waistband; two pouch pockets The artist's logo is at the ba

Maybe it's another drill. Maybe you're a member of the 501st, but not every occasion calls for full armor. Driving to an event? Easier without the pauldron hindering your lane-change head turn. Filling your gas tank? That blaster rifle may make folks nervously eye the "no smoking" signs. Grocery shopping? The body glove will protect you from the frozen foods section, but the gloves make it hard to get your money out of your wallet. Speaking of which, where do you PUT your wallet if you're a Stormtrooper? It ain't like that butt plate has pockets. So for your casual days, let us offer this option: the Stormtrooper Costume Hoodie. The hood itself is printed, and you can zip it up for additional anonymity. Long-sleeve, full-zip hooded sweatshirt is 60% cotton / 40% polyester. It has two front pockets and black ribbed cuffs and bottom. Although many of the details are screenprinted, we think this is nicer than the Stormtrooper hoodie we previously offered because it has inset panels

The Way The ThinkGeek Overlords Carry Their Money In the future, money will be merely bits flying through the ether - digital packets of purchasing potential. Paying for things will be just a matter of blinking and nodding. Until that day comes, however, we still have to carry around hunks of plastic and colorful bits of paper. While this is less than ideal, you can at least do so with maximum geek-factor, and infinite cool. Made from tough Tyvek, the fibrous and nearly indestructible material FedEx packets are made from, these wallets have the appearance of paper, but with the strength of a superhero. Several styles to choose from - yours can look like a printout from a venerable 9-pin dot-matrix, blueprints from a starship, or include iconic superhero styles. These wallets are folded origami style, into an incredibly strong, very functional, and totally geeky tri-fold wallet. It's sleek, smooth, and instantly identifiable. Heads will turn when you, in dramatic fashion, pull out
