I Twittered Your Man

Posted by BrentO On January - 24 - 2009

I have a policy - I will only post shirts here that make me laugh or make me say, “I wish I’d thought of that.” This one wins on both counts!

I Twittered Your Husband

I’ll keep an eye out for an “I Twittered Your Wife” shirt, but I doubt I’d wear it personally.  That kind of thing will get you shot.

You can buy the I Twittered Your Husband baby-doll t-shirt for $16.95 as of this writing.  (Prices at Zazzle can change - they run sales a lot.)  If you like the phrase but you want it on a different shirt, Zazzle lets you pick from all kinds of other styles, everything from sweatshirts to performance microfiber jogging shirts.

Fail Whale Coffee Cup

Thar she blows!

When Twitter fails, it usually shows a picture of the FailWhale.  The little birds that tweet are under too much load (the whale) and they can’t pull it off, so they go down.  It’s a funny graphical way of saying, “This site is under  maintenance.”

If your web site has been down a lot lately, give your webmaster or network guys some grief - buy them the FailWhale coffee mug for $15.85 from Zazzle as of this writing.

Retweet Me Shirt

“RT ME: I have street cred on Twitter.”

RT Me Twitter Shirt

RT means ReTweet.  For example, if @SocialShirt said something funny, you’d Tweet:

RT @SocialShirt I'm too sexy
for this shirt.

That tells your followers that @SocialShirt originally said it, and you’re repeating it.

This shirt tells everybody that they’d best take note of what you’re saying.  You’re one of the Powers That Be.  The font is rough-and-tumble stencil-style.

The Twitter RT Me shirt is $15.95 at Zazzle in basic heavyweight cotton, and can be customized with long sleeves, different colors, ring necks, and more.  (Keep in mind that prices may change over time, but it’s $15.95 as of this writing.)

We’ve had great experience with Zazzle basic shirts - they are indeed a heavyweight cotton, often Hanes.  Sizes run just a little large, and they’re cut loosely for an easy fit.  If you prefer a more fitted shirt, consider using their “change shirt style” option to go with an American Apparel fitted t-shirt.
