Geek Apparel of the Week: Dragon of the Black Pool and Starfail

?? I’m not going to lie; if someone makes a Big Trouble in Little China t-shirt, there’s about a 98% chance I’m going to run it on GAotW. For some reason, in my head, the movie lends itself perfectly to apparel for me; maybe because most people have no clue what the fuck it is, and those that do almost uniformly think its awesome. Whatever. It’s $20 over at ’80s Tees.

?? Sorry, but Lil’ Darth and Luke are far too adorable not be featured, especially since today’s the only day they’re available — for a mere $10 at that, over at Ript. I join the crowd of commenters who are dismayed by the lack of kids’ sizes, because this would be a great children’s tee.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
