Silly Monkey Stories: Where Is Your Off Button?

You parents will know that kids can often be....rambunctious (to say the very least!) and this Father's Day was no exception.

In the morning we went out for breakfast and as always when we prepare to leave the house mayhem ensues. As I am herding the children into the proper seats my oldest Jake says:

“Don’t you wish we had an off button like the t-shirt you have says?” 

This in itself wasn't so odd, but the fact that I did not own such a shirt was.

My youngest son Luke was first to yell at Jake for outing one of my Fathers Day gifts, which turned out to be this Where is Your Off Button? t-shirt.

What the kids do not know is this:  I was thinking the exact same thing about power buttons on children the very moments before all this transpired . . .

Geek Review: ThinkGeek Extreme Monkey-Powered Awesomeness T-Shirt

I am not just monkey powered, and I am not just awesome, and I am certainly not just extreme....I am......EXTREME MONKEY-POWERED AWESOMENESS and people need to be warned of that. Can you imagine the mayhem that could ensue if people weren’t forewarned of this?

I love ThinkGeek. Really, ThinkGeek is the kind of company that I always imagined I would start if I wanted to own my own business. They just seem tuned into my inner (heck, outer) geek. Without exaggeration I can say they do not sell one product I would not buy. They don't pay me to say that either, they are just that awesome.

My size 3X Extreme Monkey-Powered Awesomeness Enclosed t-shirt is big and comfortable. The shirt washes well and I know I will own it for years. It needs to last for years because its job is critical. That shirt is the only thing that stands between unsuspecting civilians and my EXTREME MONKEY-POWERED AWESOMENESS!!!

Head over to ThinkGeek to check it out and to find more great gifts for geeks!

Review: Zazzle Men's Geek T-Shirts

Even my husband will not deny that he is a geek at heart. This combined with his love for t-shirts makes him especially drawn towards geek t-shirts, which covers a wide array of categories from comic books to science fiction to computers and beyond. Zazzle offers an enormous selection of geek designs that are not only available on t-shirts for men, women, and children, but also drinkware, bags, calendars, canvas footwear, and much more.

Because there is so much to choose from, my husband spent a long time browsing the t-shirts on Zazzle. He kept coming back to this Run CMD T-Shirt. If you do not understand the reference, then you must Google "Run DMC" and "Run CMD" and see what you come up with.

Having run a silkscreening business of our own in the past, my husband and I recognize print quality and shirt quality. This basic dark t-shirt is a nice weight and washed very well. There was no shrinkage that I could detect, nor any fading, flaking of the design, or pilling of the fabric.

If you happen to not find exactly the design you are looking for on Zazzle, you can always create your own or use an existing photo or logo. Zazzle also offers embroidery on some items. What an excellent source of one of a kind gifts and Holiday cards! To find out more about what this site offers, visit Zazzle.com and Zazzle on Facebook.
