No Style No. 32: A couple of AAs wouldn’t hurt, either.

Guess which green-eyed mook was behind that one. Y’know, I have good friends, letting me publicly embarrass them for the sake of humor. Then again, there’s a reason that I rarely mention anyone by anything other than their first initials. I’m not that much of an arse.

So…I was lazy today and reused comic art. There’s a reason for that beyond me just being a bum, but I’ll explain at a later date. In the meantime, though…I did come up with something else. Don’t ask me what possessed me to do this, but the last line of the comic just screamed “tasteless, tacky t-shirt design”. So cover the children’s eyes and don’t click the cut link if you’re at work (and if anyone’s direct-linking to this without the cut, be nice and warn people of what you’re linking them to), because this is definitely NSFW and about as child-friendly as an electrical socket.

And because a friend wanted a less pastel, more manly version in red and blue:

What?! It’s not the most vulgar thing in the world, but I warned you it was tasteless!

…the scary thing is that I’d actually wear a t-shirt with that on it in public somewhere, as long as I wasn’t going anywhere important. It’d be appropriate for a late-night Wal-Mart run or something, although I don’t know if I’d have the nerve to wear it on Houston’s public transit. Probably not the best idea. Either way, though…I did make one for myself on CafePress, then let one of the Reds talk me into making a full store with the design on every available shirt and a few mugs.

The design you see here isn’t the original design that I uploaded to CafePress, as I made some modifications based on…um…stuff. Just stuff. Fuggedaboutit. Anyway, if anyone’s interested, I can upload the modified designs to CafePress and give you the store link. CafePress is horribly expensive just at base prices, so nothing’s really marked up more than a buck or so. Huge profit, I know. [eyeroll] If not, no big deal. I can’t imagine many people actually wanting to wear something that crude in public. Then again, T-shirt Hell does a pretty brisk business…~shrugs~ We’ll see. I may give one of the shirts away as a prize in the next comments contest after we hit 1500 for that horribly pink MP3 player (only 12 comments left to go on that one, by the way; you guys can probably hit that mark on this post alone).

Anyway…I’m out of here. See you tomorrow.

    hahaha! I’d so wear that shirt. Just for the look on my mom’s face alone. Oh and the kids, of course. I already embarrass them, that’s a surefire way to send that embarrassment directly to mortify…

    Yup. Much awesomeness.

  2. Lynn Says:

    *can’t stop giggling* oooh gods my grandmother would die!!

    ….

    does that shirt come in obese-teenager size?

    (i’ll be damned if i tell you all my shirt sizes >.

  3. Sam Says:

    Ha ha. :D I’ve never seen somthing that would shock my entire neighbourhood in one fell swoop.

  4. Shirvona Says:

    …I would wear a tshirt that said that. I probably wouldn’t even attract more attention than I normally do.

  5. Lala Says:

    *dies laughing* Congratulations on yet again managing to make my morning complete! I personally would not wear the shirt because I’m not a t-shirt type of girl but still! Go shock therapy!

    And hooray for kitties!!
    *whispers* reused comics often provide better comics the more they are reused I fin *giggles*

    Peace, love and chocolate chip cookie dough!

  6. Sihaya Says:

    I didn’t want to click the link, but of course forgot that when you move to the comment section, you see the entire post without any cuts so I saw it all anyway >_>

    Sure, it’s not bad, but the purpose of the cut link is now void =P

  7. Kujo Hikaru Says:

    I’ll take credit for wanting the manly version. And thank you for it, I would feel a lot less gay for wearing it in those colors. Let us know when you post the store, I’ll be ordering one!

  8. Anji Says:

    Oh, come on, Hikaru…you know you’d look fabulous in pink.

  9. Kujo Hikaru Says:

    Anji, I’m gay enough to know it doesn’t go well with my complexion.

  10. Anji Says:

    Is there really a manly way to tell someone you prefer a vibrator over them, though?

  11. Kujo Hikaru Says:

    Push him off, roll over and grab it from the nightstand drawer, then proceed to ignore him in favor of the vibrator?

  12. Kaine Says:

    That’s…awesome. I know a friend of mine that would love one of those. And my mum would probably appreciate it, too. :P

  13. Lessa Says:

    *remembers to pop head back in here probably HOURS too late…*

    12? ALREADY? DID I MISS IT? Oh man. I’m gonna CRY!

    Or not. *grins*

    And. Um. Adri Rocks.
    (to make this totally random spammish comment relevant, and all)

  14. -Ash- Says:

    Yeah, I wouldn’t wear it on the public transit- you’d probably get raped in the men’s bathroom >>. All I can imagine now is some 13 lurking on the site, see’s the shirt, takes the idea to their local mall or the site you suggested, then proceeds to scare & annoy the hell out of their parents. Ah yes, little reminders of the beer and half-dressed women on T-shirts of the 90’s.^^

    [...] explain the rules. Whoever gets the 100th post will get a t-shirt of their choice with either the pink/blue or red/blue design posted in yesterday’s comic. There may be a runner-up prize for #101. I’d say if we really wanted to, we could hit 100 [...]
