I hate captchas. Half the time you can’t read what they say; then the other half of the time you’re trying to figure out if what you’re typing is really a word. I understand the point, proving you’re a human and not a bot, but come on. With all the smart people out there working on software, on security, this is the best we can come up with? Seriously guys, this is the best way to tell a person from 472 lines of code? I’m not saying I have the answer, but I do miss the time when things like captchas weren’t necessary.

Anyways, the above rant should serve to illustrate how funny I found this shirt from Rizzo Tees. “WTF does that say?” echoes the thought process exactly! Ever notice how captchas have gotten harder and harder over the past few years? I understand they need to make captchas harder to outsmart the latest um, captcha-reading software, but dammit, they’re starting to outsmart me. This just reinforces that we are (or at least I certainly am) dumber than a computer, and that the machine/robot apocalypse is coming to assure the destruction of humankind as we know it. Or something like that, anyways.

I honestly don’t know what that says on the shirt. Windolph Gossh? Windolph, Gossln? Stupid Human? Eh, I don’t know. the “Gotcha, this is not legible” bit in the corner is brilliant too, it looks so natural I’m willing to bet some people will miss it when they see you wearing this shirt. You know, probably the same people that can’t solve captchas.

While there’s not an image of a person wearing it posted on the site yet (maybe uploading photos to Rizzo Tees requires a captcha?), Chris from Rizzo Tees tells me it’s 10″ wide and chest-centered. Perfect! This shirt is awesome and has universal appeal, since we all have to deal with this crap online everyday.

Zip over to Rizzo Tees and grab Captcha for $14. You can’t go wrong at that price.

The other day I wrote about the classics sale at Threadless and this is one of my favorites that’s featured this week. Artistic? not really. Clever? most definitely. It’s a nice change of pace really with most of the print on the back too. Though I’m a huge AV and home theater nut, I know someone much better suited for this shirt than me, and I plan to pick it up as a Christmas gift before the sale expires at the end of the week.

AV is normally 18 bucks but you can snag it up for $12 before Friday as part of the classics sale at Threadless.

Check out AV ($12) at Threadless (hurry, sale ends 10/9)

Rant time. I’m tired of all these Obama t-shirts people are making. It was cute at first, I’m just not finding them funny anymore. How many times can we wrap a cute phrase around his name or put his face on something else? November can’t come soon enough! Is anyone else feeling this way?

As a guitar player, I find this shirt RIDICULOUSLY awesome. As a left-handed guitar player, I find it RIDICULOUSLY unfortunate that there isn’t a left version available. I’m not crying though, I still see myself buying it.

This tee is for anyone that’s ever air-guitared their way through a solo, whether you play for real or not. It’s subtle enough to look like a plain tee at first, and bold enough to tell everyone you’re ready to party.

For those about to rock…we salute you.

Go grab this sweet tee at LuckyThreadz for $16.

EndangeredWear really takes the term “limited edition” to the major leagues. Every shirt is a limited run with no reprints. On the back, you’ll see “1 of 100″ or “1 of 300″ or whatever. That’s really sweet, and guarantees that you won’t go out and see anyone else wearing your tee. (I Love Lamp, anyone?)

Scott brought this one to my attention. Seriously, What a kick ass tee. This shirt rocks on too many levels.

Snakes? Check.
Skulls? Check.
Ace of Spades? Check.
Classic retro-ish background? Check.

This is an excellent tee to wear to a concert. I’m not a big fan of the company name on the front, but it’s done pretty tastefully. I think the one on the back, on the limited edition print, definitely belongs though.

There’s a Countdown to Extinction (Bonus points for the Megadeth reference) on each tee, telling you how many are available in each size until they’re gone…forever.

Ace of Spades is $16.99 at EndangeredWear, check ‘em out.
