'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' ...Volume 3 by Jeff Bond

Spring has sprung and I could use a few new unique T-Shirts to really make a statement without saying a word. A Statement like "I'm a geek that doesn't take much of anything seriously...I'm approachable and easily abused."

Here's some of the T-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the  Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

'Bigfoot Spotted On....' Endor! Only that's NO 'Bigfoot' that's the one and only Chewbacca milling about amongst the shrubbery. I love that if you actually do cozy up a bit closer to 'Read What Locals Are Saying' as the t-shirts suggests, you'll find nothing but, the native language of the cute and cuddly Ewoks! Unless, of course, you read 'Ewok'...than please feel free to translate for me in the comment section below

'Insane For Brain' is a play on the Cypress Hill lyric, of course..but, this shirt would look kinda loco plastered around my chest cavity when I'm front and center for the next season of 'Walking Dead' on AMC!

**Please click on 'READ MORE' below for quite a few more Tees!***

'The Punished' is the logo one might wear AFTER coming in contact with 'The Punisher'. I like the idea behind it. 'Nuff said!

'Delicious Forest Friends' is one you'll have to click on the link to behold. Just one of those bat-shit crazy tees I'd love to find my gal wearing when I knock on the door to pick her up for a date.

'Samurai Snapper' kinda gives me an old skool 'Don Bluth film' feel on a rendering of the classic line of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'....hiiiiii-ya! 

'Yoda's Angels' teams, what appears to be, female Jedi: Shaak Ti, Bariss Offee, Aayla Secura in the iconic silhouette of Bosley's gals. 

'Dextoon' pairs the old black & white cartoon shorts of yester-year with that of Showtime's murderous vigilante, Dexter Morgan. I love a good Dexter mash-up...because it always reminds people of ME! And if it don't, ah well...it's a great design anyhoo.

'The Cube' that has Transformer Optimus Prime baffled in this particular case, is not made of 'Energon' but, it is...alas, the elusive 'Rubki's Cube'. Pssst..Here's a hint, Prime. Peel of the stickers and than put them back on in proper order! The world will never know you're intelligence level is less than meets the eye!

'Tetris Skull' is an absolutely brilliant design! I wish I'd thunk of it! This player will NEVER clear out the lines with all that wasted eye socket space, though. Better to hit 'reset' and start from scratch! I gotta have it!

Here's some t-shirts from, yet another, kewl t-shirt vendor, 'SplitReason.com'. Unlike the t-shirts above that require high scores to make them available to the general public...these are available to purchase NOW! Gimme Gimme!! 

'Evolution of Evil' shows man's penchant for war leading to the darkest and deadliest of outcomes. 

'Chocovania's II: Yummy's Quest' might just be MY FAVORITE t-shirt design of this week's posting. A General Mills cereal/Konami Classic mash-up featuring 'Yummy Mummy' in the Belmont the vampire slayer role...to Count Chocula's version of said vampire. I love the concept...love the design...and want to see anything else it's creator might come up with masing-up other General Mills Monsters with classic NES games. One second while I order this one and get right back to my post......

.....PURCHASED!...and I'm back!

'Over the Line', for some unholy reason, features John Goodman's Walter Sobchak from 'The Big Lebowski' movie as the 'Stay Puft Marshmallow Man' from 'Ghostbusters' infamy. Is this what Jeff Bridges would have imagined his death by, up on that rooftop, if he had played 'Ray Stantz'? I hate this! NO I love it...NO I hate it! 

'The Beach Boys' reminds me of simpler times playing in the sand on vacation with my Star Wars figures. 'Tis a fun one that would make a great baby one-zie. That's baby Jabba slurpin' on a squid-scream cone, while baby Luke bounces around in his inflatable Yoda life preserver....but, the baby Tusken Raider takes the cake! 

Finally this week I give you the Amazing, the Spectacular....'Man-Spider vs. Octopus Doctor'! Simple enough idea...switch the names around! Kinda like 'Man-Bat' but, I paticularly like this artist's style. That angry arachnid is something to behold detailed in Spider-Man colours...and that octopus is something only my buddy Cal could hate!

P.S. .....I didn't really buy that 'Chocovania II' tee. My birthday's fastly approaching (July 2nd!) ...size Large please...thank you very much!

See ya next time T-Shirters!

LEGO Iconic Vol #7 by Jeff Bond

I am such a huge Lego nerd that words can not explain. Soooo I've decided to use my favorite blog site CCD.com as an outlet to get some of this stuff that I see every day, built out of bricks, out of my skull and onto the blogosphere where it can't hurt my cerebral cortex. Each month I'll be posting the best of the best hoping to inspire the Lego maniac in each of you...young and old.  Enjoy!

I wasn't interested in a iPhone, one bit, until I saw these nifty iPhone snap on case by Smallworks.com which are actually for sale on Amazon.com. DROID, please!
