Actually Good T-Shirts

There are so many crapass t-shirt stores out there, and so many dated, uninspired, stupid and oh-so-ironic designs that it's distressing (like those worn-out tees we wore five years ago!) But there is a light: three sites I will share with you now for cool t-shirts that are original, weird and nerdy. Wire And Twine feature sciencey stuff often sported by Chris Hardwick of G4's Web Soup and AOTS fame. TopatoCo has bazillions of different designers including stuff for Maximum Fun, home of The Sound of Young America and Jordan, Jesse, GO! And Glarkware is affiliated with Television Without Pity and cleverly gives you TV-inspired shirts without actually mentioning the shows, so there are no copyright issues and you have to "get" it, in order to get it.

Sit on the Food, Play with the Furniture

From the site jellio.com comes some very cool furniture made from toys and in the likeness of foods. Witness! The Ice Cream Sandwich Bench, the Gummi Bear Chandelier, Slider Game Wall Art and Cupcake Seat! Very expensive, but very awesome.
