We Blog Indie T-Shirts
Why, it’s California! Based on the breakdown of the readers of Fantastic Blognanza, at least. So you better step it up, other states! Especially you, Wyoming. And you, North Dakota. You’re the two least t-shirt-lovingest states. Having a small population is no excuse!
You guys remember Night-Lab.com, don’t you? It’s the Very Manly and Predominantly Apparel-Oriented Counterpart to the exclusively feminine Day-Lab.com and, as such, the perfect place to shop for the holidays if your Dad needs another tie! Or, you know, something cooler than that, like a vintage comic or two, for example:
Anyhow, all orders placed at Night-Lab.com up through December 17th are 10% cheaper than they normally would be! Just use the code HOLIDAY10 at checkout and BAM! You just saved some scratch, baby! Be sure to place your order before December 16th for domestic orders in the U.S. and December 10th for international orders. Otherwise, your order ain’t gonna ship until after January 1st!

Should you hurry: Only one week left! Don’t lollygag, now!
I can safely say that last month’s contest was the most difficult to judge. And that’s not just because I’ve been busy compulsively irrigating my ear canals in preparation for Take It In The Ear Day—no, it’s because so many of this month’s entrants really showed their stuff, making our jobs a lot harder than we anticipated.
Still, we had to choose a Winnar—such is the nature of contests—so we now present this month’s Free T-Shirt Contest winner: Marissa Perna, with her tenuously medical entry:
I cannot stress enough how incredibly close this contest was. You guys owe it to yourselves to gander at this month’s other entrants, if only to see what Graffiti is capable of these days.
Enough words! It is time for the December Contest to show itself:
You know what’s ridiculously simple to write? A haiku. Think about it! Just five syllables, and then seven—and then five more! And you’re done! I mean, yeah, there’s the problem of conveying nuggets of profound wisdom or sublime natural wonder in such a limited frame, but come on—who does that? Seriously!
So here’s your challenge, Bonanza Cadets: write a haiku that is somehow related to Fantastic Bonanza! No need to use the words “Fantastic Bonanza” in your entry, of course. You could even write about, say, Conezor or Joe or something if you really wanted—it just has to be Fantastic Bonanza-related!
Post your poetic masterpieces in the comments section and we promise to read all of them all of the time. Well—not quite. Don’t forget your email address, either—otherwise we can’t inform you of your prestigious win!
Smells a bit fowl to me.
Hah. See what I did there?
Actually, I should probably avoid making stupid animal jokes simply for the sake of punnery. I may one day encounter a repugnant chicken, after all—and just where would I be then? Punless, that’s where: north of Tongue-Tied, east of Mumblin’ and Fumblin’, west of Johndoesnotusewordscleverlyville. Man, I hate that town. It’s like they have a grudge or something. All I did was accidently introduce a strain of West Nile Virus into their marina.
Hey, speaking of birds, have you noticed that the pelican is starting to carve a place for itself in the shirtosphere?1 It’s true! I first noticed the phenomenon while browsing SquidFire’s new winter lineup of hoodies and jackets.
The design is straightforward enough—sure to please any ornithologist who harbors a soft spot for—well, for harbors. SquidFire seems content enough to admire the pelican from dry shores, but a certain other clothing line does not appear to find this adequate.
This one is really simple: all t-shirts at I-Manifest are $20. Pretty good deal, especially considering they’re usually $32! I’ve had my eye on Urban Decay ever since I first reviewed it, so this is the perfect excuse to pick it up!

Expensiveness: $20 during the sale, down from $32
Should you hurry: The sale ends at the dawning of the new year, but some sizes are already sold out so probably
The CliffsNotes™ version of this post: Here is a thing I made!
The long version:
Let me spin you all a tale.
Many moons ago, in an age long shrouded by the impenetrable fog of arcane history1, I trekked to the strange and wondrous land of Southern California with co-bonanzier John in order to partake of an august and monumental rite—The Annual Inter-National Comick-Conventione of San Diego Towne. The annals of this journey (or what remain of them, anyway) can be found here.
For those of you who don’t remember/never read that post, the main thrust is that I spotted a lot of people wearing Threadless tees at the convention. So many, in fact, that upon my return to Bonanzier HQ I was compelled to create a ‘Threadless Bingo’ board. Here are the fruits of that labor:
No matter—it’s not very hard to make your own board, if for some reason you don’t like the one I’ve made here. In fact, someone who has mastered the dark art of internet wizardry (not I) could probably lash together some kind of randomized Bingo-board generator, perhaps out of some flotsam and leftover parachute cord.
With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I now recognize at least two errors in that statement:
And so, without further ta-do to-do adieu adoo fuss, here is the link to the world’s first, best, and only Threadless Bingo Board Generator!
So generate a board, print it out, and play with your friends! Hours of fun, guaranteed!2
