I guess that’s supposed to be a bad thing, but I don’t know… I am feeling pretty good about the whole thing.

Tough Week?

admin — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 06:04:55 +0000

Yeah, you and 300 billion other people, I’m sure. Talking with Dark Horse the other day about how some weeks… they just drag along and drag you down. At least with this lovely t-shirt, you can show that you have a sense of humor about the daily grind.

Always remember, laughter IS the best medicine. Next to that, Friday night might be the next best medicine. You be the judge.

Let the healing begin…

Tired of the holiday hullaballoo? Heard “Jingle Bells,” “White Christmas,” and “Feliz Navidad” one too many times? Almost got trampled at the department store? Well, relax with a nice frosty glass of t-shirt designs! I know, it makes no sense, but does all this holiday hijinks make sense? I mean really… think about some of the things we do around this time of year… really think about it. Actually, don’t think too much about it, because then you might not buy any t-shirts for anyone for the holidays… and that, in the opinion of all the fat gulls out there, would be a crying shame.

We are going to be venting our holiday frustrations this week by doing what we do whenever we get edgy… MAKING MORE DESIGNS!!!

Stay cool, eat well, hug a lot and for the sake of everyone around you, have a HAPPY holiday!!

Sweetest Potato Shirt Yet

admin — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 20:54:49 +0000

So, with all the holiday feasting going on, this design idea arose out of one of those post-dinner stupors… you know those… where you are just sitting there on the couch with your pants unbuttoned, practically drooling and glassy-eyed, staring up at the ceiling? Yeah that! Well… that wonderful orange winter veggie The SWEET POTATO, is, if you think about it, nothing but inspirational. Truly.

So… enjoy the feasting, and EAT all your SWEET POTATOES!!! They are good for you. In fact, in their natural state (without a big scoop of butter on them) they have ZERO fat, ZERO cholesterol, some vitamin C, crazy amounts of vitamin A, fiber, protein, iron. Sweet potatoes just flippin’ rock! Go with it!

Don’t Badger the Badger!!!

admin — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 05:34:32 +0000

You know… once the badgers start getting grumpy, you know we have some serious problems. The next thing is going to be Badger Unions, all fighting for equal rights and a 40 hour work week… and where the heck will our economy end up then? Huh? Just keep the badgers happy and working and we’ll be alright. We’ll pull through. The sky will not fall and the sun will shine another day.

Ninjas!

admin — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 21:28:51 +0000

This design has been in the works for a few weeks, first as a little glimmer of an idea, and now as this wonderfully inspiring design. It comes complete with Whitney Houston lyric reference, which actually may or may not be staying on the design, but we’ll see. Anyway, here’s a look at the next newwwwwww design for November.

And yeah… we know we’re behind, but we got lots of ideas jumbling around in our brains, so we’ll be with you soon with some more GREAT shirt designs!!!!

Sea Turtle!!!!!

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 03:06:32 +0000

I don’t know about you, but to me, Sea Turtles are just the best! I mean, turtles in general… they rule! I met a turtle once… well, several turtles, well… actually there were probably about 30 little cute baby snapping turtles in this pond, and we were all leaning over the side of the row boat we were in looking at how cute they were. Aaaawwwwwww… so cute! And then, up from the murky depths, rose the grandma turtle, who I swear had to be 200 years old. She was all craggy, with horns coming out of everywhere… she was at least 2 feet across. So… there is no moral to this story, aside from this: “Turtles Rule!” And Sea Turtles are in a precarious situation lately, so think about it.

After Some Minor Technical Difficulties…

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 02:49:41 +0000

We’re back online here at DBA! The November Shirt-A-Thon-Design-A-Day-T-Shirt-Mania-Month-of-Doom SHALL continue!!!

Hey, you know… better late than never, and better in November than on Pluto in December (forever a planet in our hearts!), since it’s so damn cold on Pluto in December. But the airfare can’t be beat!

Anyway, without further ado, to begin the catch up session on November’s designs, we’ll start here:

More to come… we’ll have 30 designs for November if it kills us… or lands us on Pluto in December.

Opinions on Extiction

admin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 05:11:36 +0000

Who better to comment than someone who has been there and done that?!

Well, we’re still on a kick after watching a great movie called “Home” (see earlier posts). If you know anyone who might dig this new vibe we are trying to create, please please please send them a link to our site or have them follow us on Facebook… or you could even buy them a nice shirt for the holidays… or just because you are nice. Help us out by spreading the word about Double Barrel Apparel. We want to make something happen here so that we can sell millions of t-shirts and donate millions of dollars to environmental causes. And who can’t agree with that idea? eh?

Serious Protests Worldwide…

Now this is a protest I can get behind!

Politically Correctness for the Work-friendly/Kid-friendly Crowd

admin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 03:41:41 +0000

Well… we got some requests for more all-ages wording for our recent designs. Ask and you shall receive.

More Holiday Gift Ideas

admin — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 05:24:06 +0000

Well, we were so thrilled with the outcome of the other environmental-minded shirt design that we wanted to continue the trend.

Here is the second of perhaps many designs inspired by Mama Nature and all the furry and feathered and scaled creatures that just can’t seem to convince us humans that they are too cute to watch them suffer and lose their habitats and their… um… existences. Heck, imagine if there were 80 gazillion polar bears driving around cars that ran on peanut butter, and somehow peanut butter was the thing that totally f*ed our sh*t up… I mean, we could live with a little peanut butter now and then, but the polar bears just could not stop going to that damn polar bear mall to buy a new faux human-skin purse, and they just HAD to have that 3rd PB-guzzling car for junior so he wouldn’t have to walk to Polar Bear High… Right. Anyway, I am sure we would not be too excited with Ma and Pa P-Bear if the roles were reversed. I am almost certain that some cowboy or other would have preemptively shocked and awed the living poop out of the North Pole just to be sure that little Johnny Whitebread would not have to die a slow, sticky, peanutty death.

So yeah… Polar Bears don’t generally respond to their problems by shocking and awing anyone, but maybe you can help them get their message out by wearing this simple T. We plan to donate a percentage of the profits from these shirts to causes which have a proven record of alleviating the toll of Global Warming on the planet and on those whose voices are too quiet to be heard over the hum of our televisions.

Alter-Ego

On our day off from our usual ninja hijinks, we like to kick back and throw on a comfy t-shirt… watch some bad kung-fu flicks and make apple crisp. Hey! So what if ninjas bake!? It’s deadly good apple crisp!

Design inspired by the words of Dark Horse.

Holiday Shopping

admin — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 03:51:47 +0000

It all started with an incredible movie called “Home” which you should watch when you have an hour and a half to relax and learn about how we effect our planet.

So, here’s another Home-inspired shirt. Just in time for your holiday shopping!!!

DBA will donate a percentage of profits to causes that help to end Global Warming.

Natural Products…

admin — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 23:49:32 +0000

Well, not much to say about the (yester)day’s design… The shirt says it all. Let’s hear it for Nature. She hasn’t had nearly enough attention lately, and considering we all owe her our lives… you know, because of stuff like WATER and OXYGEN and all those little MINERALS and all that FOOD and stuff… just the minor things. Not really important at all.

Right. And also, we watched the Home video yesterday, so if you want to be inspired to put on a nature shirt, have a look. Or if you just want to be reminded of just how much we need to start paying attention… or if you already know, just pass the link on to someone who does not.

Anyway, think about it.

Design inspired by Mother Earth and sparked by Dark Horse.

Tashi Delek!

admin — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 03:22:50 +0000

“Tashi Delek!” is a tibetan greeting. It means “hello/may many good things come to you/good day.” It’s even better when you yell it across the tops of mountains, but simply spoken with good vibes is good enough.

Inspired by recent protests in Tibet and China over the strange decision to ban the teaching of any language besides Mandarin (which would mean teaching the tibetan language would be illegal IN the TIBET autonomous region… WHAT?!?!), this shirt is only a fraction of the sentiments we feel toward the ever friendly, welcoming people of Tibet.

TASHI DELEK!!!

And just because we don’t want to leave out doggies…

admin — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 04:21:25 +0000

We made a baby shirt, so now we have to include the dogs. This is as far as it goes though!!! We are not making t-shirts for your horse or your goldfish. FORGET IT!!!

Well…

Maybe we’d consider it.

A Day Late and A Design Short…

admin — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 04:11:55 +0000

Let’s not get technical here, but this is the November 2nd design. We are amused. And also… we are excited to make our first Baby-DBA offering with this design. Check it OUT!!!!

Ah… November…

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 20:07:26 +0000

…that wonderful month. November 2009 was so much fun last year. We decided to do a design a day for one month and by the middle of that fine November of 2009 we were asking ourselves, “Who came up with this idea? What the hell was SHE thinking? Who is SHE anyway?” But you know, by the end of November of 2009, we had a bunch of new shirts up on the site, some really great ones in fact! Some others… well, whatever… there were some really great ones!!!

So, despite the cries from the ones who wish to remain sane until the end of 2010, we’re going to go at it again this November. The Great Shirt-A-Thon 2. Junior. The Second. The Return. Good luck us!!! Please pass the word along and some links too, if you feel so inclined. We just want people to get their computers pointed at our website.

Annnnnnd nnnnnowwwww… appropriately… the first shirt of The Great Shirt-A-Thon of November 2010…. (drum rollllllllll)
