THE NICHE T-SHIRT NO ONE DEMANDED
01.23.09
Well, I’m sure these are selling like hotcakes. If there’s anything that burnout hippies love, it’s the gladiator-like intensity and bone-crushing hits of the NFL.
On second thought, I can see the crossover appeal: people who swear that Jerry Garcia is some kind of God are just as obtuse and impossible to speak to as the most obnoxious die-hard sports fans. So the lesson is, if you see someone wearing one of these shirts, kill them. Kill them dead. Immediately. No jury will convict you.

These are going to go great with my totally original “Vote for Pedro” and “COLLEGE” t-shirts.
Hey man…Jerr-Bear’s dead, mm-kay?
God bless. Fuck the Dead, fuck their t-shirts, fuck their stupid dancing bears, and fuck their hippie crack balloon parties.
The Sublime version of Scarlet Begonias is okay, though. But that’s it!
Modern hippies go for the Widespread Panic versions.
@Punch: Or Phish. Phuck Phish, too, while we’re at it.
steal your face dude! I’m with katni , fuck the Grateful Dead and fuck Phish while we are at it.

//cranks iron Maiden followed by Metallica
I like The Dead and the NFL, but this is pushing it
See also: String Cheese Incident and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe. Just because you can play a song for 20 goddamn minutes with no chord structure or melody whatsoever does NOT mean it’s good! Fuck!
Sorry. Jam bands are on my shortlist of things that make me homicidal. See also, cutesy font in workplace emails.
Nothing epitomizes the spirit of the counter-culture like corporate logos.
My money says 1 in 10 of the hippies who buy this shirt have an Apple tattoo.
How many bean sprout sandwiches would you have to seel at a Dead show to buy one of these?
I actually like a lot of their songs, especially their mid80s “In The Dark” album…but I don’t have 4 hours to spend with hippies, unless I have a cleaver and taser.
I’m a liberal who appreciates weed…but for some reason a massive combination of those two things is annoying.
Hmmm. I’ll kill em. I’ll kill him em. Like with, with a, rock or something. Like a, like a stone.
If you listen closely you can hear the melodic sounds of Bill Walton jerking off into his brand new grateful dead san diego chargers t-shirt.
And it’s terrible. Just absolutely horrible.
Also, I will add moe. to the list of jam bands on Katni’s shortlist.
Ugh…”Ill kill em Dead” it was it should say…damnit..
Actually, I’ll stand up for Phish. I like them. Call me crazy, call me a pervert (everyone else does). But any band who can play a live concert featuring the entire album of Quadrophenia, note for note, deserves at least a little respect.
Didn’t withleather had such a meat-head following.. Sounds like Katni is a bright one…
This is ripe for a pun war:
I’m looking forward to purchasing the Tennessee Jed Titans shirt!
Christ on the Cross. Nothing says search me and my car like anything Dead-related.
Jerry Garcia was the ultimate fan favorite. After he died and was cremated, his fans were allowed to roll up and smoke his ashes.
my ex had the steeler version…sure he will be wearing it all next week. rock on.
Christ on the Cross. Nothing says search me and my car like anything Dead-related.
Young driver and a DARE sticker. I’m pretty sure they don’t even have to drug test those guys.
And why the Cowboys and Colts? What about the Phil Lesh Delphia Eagles?
If you play “Dark Side of the Moon” and the Colts playoff loss against the Chargers backward, they both still suck.
>fuck their hippie crack balloon parties
While we’re at it: fuck football, tits, bacon, TV, dogs, Guinness and weekends.
Love the tags, Matt.
And I concur, hippie jam bands fucking blow.
you mean no one wants a truckin up to the buffalo bills t-shirt, the steal your face logo and dick jauron look eerily similar.
This looks like the worst version of Lucky Charms ever. What else are they going to put on the skulls? Green clovers and blue diamonds?
