I’d let him win if I were you.

// 05.09.06

Well, I had planned on keeping the Star Wars theme going for a couple of days with the cool Walker with one of those bell colar things on it’s head that keeps dogs from biting their feet or whatever from Go Ape Shirts, but Preshrunk beat me to the punch on it. Oh well. So even though Oddica doesn’t officially open until 12:01 a.m. on Friday, May 19, I figured I better jump right on this bad boy. As you can see, it’s the world’s dumbest stormtrooper hammering a ping pong ball past Vader. But what you can’t see is that, down in the corner (back corner I think), there is a little pic of Vader’s foot, the tip of his lightsaber and that poor, foolish stormtrooper’s hand chopped off, laying on the ground. So I apologize for jumping the gun a bit, but don’t forget to slam them with orders on the 19th, okay? I’ll try to remind you.

And speaking of Preshrunk, have you all noticed how many, I won’t say copycats, but… t-shirt blogs are out here in the blogosphere? Some of you might’ve said the same about the TJ, and I don’t blame you, but I started this site after seeing the massive list of links on iloveyourtshirt.com, but no way of knowing what was what without going there. Then somebody called me the copycat… and was introduced to Preshrunk. I had actually seen a tee guide by a dude “jamespo” way back when, but has since gone away I think. Now there’s teees (who just posted Oddica I see. Bastards! just kidding), addicteed (whose name seems to have a somewhat familiar ring to it. Fuck! They posted Oddica too!), plenty of shareasale and other affiliate posts at tshirtreview and I can’t forget apieceofshirt. I think that’s all. For today anyway. Probably more soon. WTF?! Totally uncalled for. I think the TJ might retire and focus on JustAddNoise.

    Thanks for the shoutout perry cox! I dunno if it was a compliment or you were calling me a copycat (I’m trying to be different) but its just nice to be recognised.

    Jamespo was at www.jamespo.org.uk/tees/ but I can’t get the site to open at the moment.

    Thanks for the shoutout bashing, you brought me some traffic the last couple months.

    oh and PS, you’re site has sharesale and other affiliate links on it, hypocrite.

    TJ: you’re welcome.

    I guess my poor ol’ blog doesn’t even have rip-off status yet…but http://www.t-shirt-alert.com is gettin there.

    Honestly, I keep my blog churning for the love of the game, not the accolades, fame, fortune and glory that it brings to my life every day. Don’t we all?

    Mind you, http://www.tshirtlog.com gives me the willies. It conveniently seems to feature the same t-shirts as me, every time I write an article. Come to think of it, it features the articles word for word. Is anyone else a little perturbed by this???

    TJ: yeah, i sent that dude a dicky email about that and the fact that they were barely giving even credit for the content, then he nicely replied and said he’d deactivate the TJ feed it was pulling. and he did. and he also made the credit thing bigger. so i felt a little bad for being a dick right from the first email, but fuck it.

    and about your “poor ol blog”, i hadn’t seen it until now. sorry. i would’ve definitely thrown a link your way in that post. :)
