Badmovies.org T-Shirts

[Andrew]

I was thinking about having another run of t-shirts made, like the ones from some time ago.  I still have my two from the old run.  They held up pretty well through washing and wear, but I'll probably try to find a local shop to do the printing (rather than go through the gents down in GA who did the first batch).

The goal would be good quality shirts, like the Hanes Beefy-Ts, with good quality silk-screening.

Here is the question, what "Lessons Learned" should go on the shirts?  The last set had only five.  I think we can put at least seven, perhaps as many as nine or ten.  I'd drop the bottom line on the back that reiterates the website to free up space for another lesson or two.  The front would stay the same.

The next question is what lessons to use.  I am pretty attached to a few of them, but with perhaps ten on the shirt, we could pick some more.

Dinosaur is Latin for "stuff glued on lizard."
If it looks like a man-eating plant then it probably is a man-eating plant.
Flare guns and fire extinguishers are the most powerful weapons known to man.

More possibles:

Those suffering from demonic possession should not drive or operate heavy machinery.
Sweat-soaked shirts burn easily and make excellent torches.
The problem with being human is that every other race in the universe either finds people flesh tasty or needs our brain fluid to survive.
Being struck lightly on the head with a styrofoam rock will kill you.
Scientific instruments explode when they don't work.
Laughing at telekinetic, bomb-worshipping zealots IS NOT a good idea.
People who own Lugers = bad.
A Jeep Cherokee can outrun an anti-tank rocket.
People who live in thatched huts should not throw torches.
Every ranch should keep emergency supplies, such as a medical kit and machinegun.
Being tied to someone who is being eaten by a monster is "not good."
Spacecraft developed by advanced aliens are unable to fly without wobbling.

Hmm.  Mine has seven.

"If it looks like a man-eating plant it probably is a man-eating plant."
"Fruit bats are, strangely enough, carnivorous."
"Sweat-soaked shirts burn easily and make excellent torches."
"The problem with being human is that every other race in the universe either finds people flesh tasty or needs our brain fluid to survive."
"Slumber parties are a common social activity for thirty-year old women."
"Corrugated tin is bulletproof."
"Dinosaur is Latin for stuff glued on lizard."

There's also no reiterated website.  It's a baseball jersey from Cafepress.

how about "Jesus has a mexican wrestler as a sidekick". That part was left out of the bible.

Oh, and "Batman does NOT look good with rubber nipples on his suit."

Those are the ones from Cafepress.  I've always had a soft spot for the ones we had silk-screened.  I just had to find a local shop, order about 100, and pay for them up front.  I think that we can get the text on the back a little larger if we go with silk-screened shirts.

there are so many awesome images that would make great shirts too.  like the guy from killer shrews peering through the barrel thing

I've always been fond of the original 5.  I love my original Badmovies.org shirts (I bought two a while back) and they never fail to get comments.  No matter where I go, people get a laugh out of the shirt.

I never picked up one of the cafepress shirts as their shirts aren't as high quality as the beefy tees.  They're much thinner and have a tendency to shrink.

As for new quotes, I'm not sure.  Whatever you pick will be fine with me, as I'll surely buy another shirt.

Here's a few others I think are amusing:

Scientific instruments explode when they don't work.
George Kennedy was never young, ever.
Being struck lightly on the head with a styrofoam rock will kill you.

[The Burgomaster]

I'd be interested in buying a badmovies.org body stocking with a cape and a mask so I could walk around like a superhero.  But that's just me . . .

[Ed, Ego and Superego]

Ok, here is my list. 

Nuclear testing grounds should be clearly marked.
Laughing at telekinetic, bomb-worshipping zealots IS NOT a good idea.
Sex isn't interesting enough to put down a book bound in human skin.
Turtles are naturally agile and experts on the parallel bars.
Shaolin is like a soup kitchen, but with kung fu.
You never can have enough elephants in a movie
Sometimes science is a guy shaking a box full of frightended bats.
Pollution is bad, but 60's music is much, much worse.

Y'know, i think it would be fun to have a game where you guess what film a lessons learned comes from.

You're not actually shaped like Burgermeister Meisterburger, are you?  Imagining him running around in a black body stocking is scary.  Now, if you happen to be Anna Falchi and want to run around in a black Badmovies.org body stocking, just give me the mailing address and the best place for my video camera.

Here's a few others I think are amusing:

George Kennedy was never young, ever.

I had...."Yes, it is Dick Miller!" pop into my head.   

of course, any "...That guy!" might be just as appropriate.

[ghouck]

Brains are spoon food.

Zombies can get knocked up.

Main characters do not get killed, ever, even though everybody else does.

When attacked by fruits or vegetables use a shotgun.


I like these also. .

I like these. Andrew, if you add any, these should be some of them. Also, i dont get the "man eating plant" joke.
