Geek Apparel of the Week: Ceiling Cthulhu and Commanding the Cobra
 |
?It’s not super-rare when those “one t-shirt-per-day” online stores have a shirt of nerd interest, but it is pretty rare when two of them do. Since both these shirts will stop existing at midnight, I figured I’d go ahead and show both. Above is Shirt.Woot’s “Oh hai there can I haz ur planet,” which I colloquially call Ceiling Cthulhu. It’s a mere $10 right here.

?This is “Commanding the Cobra,” courtesy of Tee Fury for an even more mere $9; it can be ordered here. That’s two incredibly nerdy, exceedingly awesome shirts for under $20, and they both glorify evil. How can you resist? Thanks to Bryan and Dana for the two tips.

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.
