Cloud Computer

It seems to be the biggest buzzword in computers in the last year. Cloud! It's in the cloud! Cloud-based computing seems to be where things are heading, but what does it really mean?

I kind of understand what it's all about, but on the other hand, it seems to be unnecessarily glorified and I'm sure a lot of people don't follow how it works. That was the thought process behind my funny cloud computer t-shirt. How do you connect a computer to a cloud? I suppose with a cable of some kind? I don't get it:

Soup Junkie

My knowledge of heroin addicts is limited to what I've seen in movies or on tv. I'm hardly an expert, but one thing I've noticed is that they all seem to use a bent spoon to cook their drugs. There is probably a good reason for the bending, but I'm pretty sure you couldn't use the spoon for anything else. I have thought about how funny it would be to see someone try to eat soup with one of these spoons. That was the inspiration for my soup junkie shirt. Eat your soup, junkie.

Good Times

Back in high school, a friend of mine wondered if anyone had ever actually slipped on a banana peel. Sure, we've seen it in cartoons or maybe on a tv show, but does it really happen like that? He decided to put a banana peel on the floor in the hall and see what happened.

A few people walked past, and made a point of avoiding the peel. After a while, we started questioning our experiment and conscience took over. Sadly, we never saw anyone's feet come flying out from under them after slipping on a banana peel. I imagine it would be really funny -- for some -- and I think this t-shirt is pretty self-explanatory:

How to be a Businessman

This funny t-shirt is my cynical look at the business world. I've been in enough meetings to know that if you want to succeed in business, you have to learn how to talk the talk. With that in mind, the following are my keys to success:

Use a lot of jargon. If you want to really get their attention, make sure to throw out the latest buzzword. Laugh, both at their jokes and just for the sake of laughing. Finally, make sure to get more face time by suggesting a future meeting. "Let's do lunch" is a classic.

Whiskers on Kittens

My Favorite Things is a song from The Sound of Music. It has been covered numerous times and one version I particularly like is a punk version by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

One of the favorite things in the song is "whiskers on kittens." I thought it would be funny to look at it differently and give a cat some beard stubble. I also added what was supposed to be a cigarette, just to complete the look. A lot of people seem to think it looks more like a joint, but in either case, it's one rough-looking kitten.

It's another witty shirt, and is printed with a fuzzy texture:

Electric Campfire

My sister mentioned to my mom that she was thinking about getting a guitar. It would be cool, she said, to be able to sit around a campfire and play. Mom's reaction was priceless: "Why would you want a guitar at a fire? Where would you plug it in?"

Of course, she had been referring to an acoustic guitar. We started joking about starting a band, and I came up with the name "Electric Campfire."

Wet Sky

I'm not really sure how to explain this one. Basically I thought it would be cool if there was rain falling on clouds, making them wet. Sure, real clouds are already wet, but we're talking about fluffy cotton clouds. This is what that would look like, a wet sky:
