Prepare For a Shock: T-Shirts Remain Available

The guys get shirts. The guys get shirts. That's just. The fucking. Way. It is. We're not going to be a strong as our weakest link. The guys get shirts.

That is, if you want shirts. What did I say? T-SHIRTS!

The gals get little baby-t's too, if they're so inclined.

Update: Largest size in a baby t fits a 40-42 chest. Non baby women's t's now available in larger sizes.


Well, after weeks and weeks of redesigning the logo with the kicking-ass Snapshot and taking-names Riehl World View, I'm finally peddling t-shirts, which puts me in the same league as all the greats, like Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling.

Men's shirts are available in charcoal gray or black; women's shirts, alas, just charcoal, at least at the current time. If there is enough demand, there may be further variants and styles offered, like the long-sleeved versions some mentioned.

Also-- you have your choice of the shirt with the somewhat-controversial Mencken quote or without it.

RockNClothing is now taking "pre-orders" for the shirts. They'll take orders for a week to guage demand, then begin printing them up. They will begin being sent out about two weeks after the pre-order ends.

Note they're a little cheaper during the pre-order period, to make up for the fact you're going to have to wait a little bit. Once we're in the regular order phase, the cost will go up $1.50 or $2.00, depending on demand. But then you'll get your t-shirts more quickly.

RockNClothing has promised me a proof shirt that I can approve or demand changes on before sending out the shirts, to make sure the shirts have all the integrity and enthusiasm I'm bringing to this.

RockNClothing previously did a t-shirt for This Fish Needs a Bicycle, and you can see a photo of one of their t-shirts here, as well as some praise for the shirts in the comments.

Why is a guy wearing a "This Fish Needs a Bicycle" shirt? No idea. But hopefully some women won't mind wearing a skull and crossed-swords death-card, either.

I'm not sure how many of you want these shirts. I know some have expressed interest, and of course I'm totally psyched about having some of these bad-boys for myself. And making a small amount of crazy t-shirt money, to boot.

Anyway-- in the words of Badfinger, if you want it, here it is, come and get it.

Update: RockNClothing says the boney-A's won't look good on a t-shirt at that size. So the shirts will be printed with the Copperplate A in the spade, as depicted.

The Big Guys Get Shirts Too Update: XXL size now available!

Where's Joe?

Posted by: Lito on March 26, 2005 04:55 PM

One: Why can't I see it in black, dammit, the only real color (shut up art school genius')? What are you trying to hide?

Two: Why the hell isn't a dusty girl modeling that thing, in maybe a baby tee cut off or something? Why you? And what, you can't even shave for your own site's t-shirt photo? And what's with that growth on your right arm, there above your elbow joint... there where a bicep should be? Couldn't you have covered that disfigurment up with another other photo inset? Kids might see this page.

Posted by: Ray Midge on March 26, 2005 05:04 PM

No pic of the bony-A?

Posted by: someone on March 26, 2005 05:08 PM

Oh well, those Dusty Girls are just so scrawny...no muscles on em.

How are they ever gonna get a guy in a headlock?

Posted by: Lipstick Dynamite on March 26, 2005 05:35 PM

I'm wondering what a baby tee looks like? Speaking as 100% WHOA!!MAN, I'm gonna need a mighty ballbustin' skull 'n crossed swords and scary bloodred quote.

I'd just hate if I looked cute in this ... look at all the crap dusty girl has to put up with around here ... ya gots to look mean at my gym .....

Posted by: psflanagan on March 26, 2005 05:50 PM

Only go up to xlarge? Ace, I'm 280 lbs, that xl would fit me like a condom. Let me know if you get xxl.

mike

Posted by: michael dennis on March 26, 2005 07:05 PM

WTH? True to my word I went to pre-order 3 and got some freakin paypal error!

loose shit. I call loose shit!

Posted by: blakjack on March 26, 2005 07:12 PM

Nice Shirt! The "fish needs a bicycle" thing comes from a saying published on posters, tee-shirts, buttons, etc... from some women's lib group (or Gloria Steinem or what ever) that goes "...a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle..." So I guess that guy is looking for some woman who likes Gloria Steinem and belongs to NOW. *shrug*

Posted by: Richmond on March 26, 2005 07:26 PM

Mike,

I've told them that we got a big crew here and need bigger sizes. Waiting for the reply.

Thanks to those of you ordered. Or even didn't order. Thanks just for stopping by.

Sorry about any loose paypal shit. I'll put Vinny Falcone on it.

Posted by: ace on March 26, 2005 07:36 PM

Larger sizes now available, Mike. I think that was just an oversight.

Posted by: ace on March 26, 2005 08:53 PM

Thanks Ace.

Mike

Posted by: michael dennis on March 26, 2005 09:13 PM

Good looking shirts Ace. Too bad no 3X/4X sizes for those of us of gartantuan size.

Posted by: Lee on March 26, 2005 09:25 PM

Hey,

I just ordered three shirts and it worked for me. I think they fixed the problem, so give it another try.

Posted by: Jack on March 26, 2005 09:35 PM

I think Ace took care of the loose shit when they opened the options to xxl, because it worked for me earlier too.

Mike

Posted by: michael dennis on March 26, 2005 09:59 PM

Hey, Ace, do you have chest measurements in the sizes? I need a 42 in the women's (no, not fat, top heavy) and I read at the Fish site that one female had some trouble with the sizing.

Later,
bbeck

Posted by: bbeck on March 26, 2005 10:13 PM

Hey bbeck!!! Quick! Get over to the "82 Terrorists" post/thread! Dogstar is looking for breast data!

Posted by: psflanagan on March 26, 2005 10:21 PM

PS, you appear to be doing just fine without me over there. Besides, I'd rather avoid talking about such things in front of nutjobs like Revenge Will Come (In The Form Of A Fuzzy Pink Bunny Apparently).

Anyway, I'm genuinely trying to get a shirt that will fit. XLs are too big in the shoulders and I want to know if an L will work. If I wanted to brag I'd post pictures. ;)

Later,
bbeck

Just Teasing bbeck! No offense intended!!

Posted by: psflanagan on March 26, 2005 10:57 PM

just placed my order.

I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on March 26, 2005 11:29 PM

No worries, PS. :)

We women are a tad outnumbered around here and we need to stick together.

Let's hope they don't unloose Lipstick Dynamite on us.

I'm just not ready for an extended period of hard-core, bootcamp-style discipline and structure.

Posted by: Lipstick Dynamite on March 27, 2005 12:37 PM

Sorry in advance bbeck, I mean no offence. I just couldn't resist--even waited a day!

Posted by: Lipstick Dynamite on March 27, 2005 01:04 PM

bbeck,

Well that is a crying shame. Certainly there should be no discrimination against busty women, and I will not tolerate such on this site.

Gareth: If anything, they should be treated better.

David: Equal.

Sorry, that's from the office, the real office, not the horrible abortion shown on NBC t his past week.

I have sent word to parker that I cannot live in the world where bbeck can't get a shirt.

Posted by: ace on March 27, 2005 01:06 PM

Well, don't lose sleep over it, Ace, just do what you can. :)

Later,
bbeck

Posted by: bbeck on March 27, 2005 01:26 PM

Of course I'm losing sleep. It's an outrage.

The email has been sent. He'll tell me what chest measurements the larger baby-t fits, and also offer non-baby-t women's t's if the baby-t's aren't big enough for chesty women.

Posted by: ace on March 27, 2005 01:33 PM

I would think discriminating against busty women on this site would get you banned for life.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on March 27, 2005 02:44 PM

Thanks for checking the size. I just bought one. I'll be sure to wear it under my armor.

Later,
bbeck

Posted by: bbeck on March 27, 2005 04:47 PM

Hey bbeck, I went with the men's medium as I like the longer shirt for running. I'm close in your measurement department ... I can report in on the men's tee fit-wise when it arrives.

If it doesn't fit, I'll just have to convince my liberal husband into wearing it .. I'm planning to say things like:

"Pirates are discriminated against in this country hon, don't you think you should support those poor hardworking pirates by wearing their emblem? Heck, you'll be the coolest guy around ...

Huh? Ace of Spades HQ? Oh that's a website set up to support the pirates. In fact I think the guy who runs it is a former pirate who has made a mid-career shift into internet piracy. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum and all that .."

Failing that, I'll just wrestle him into it and then order a baby tee (a rough tough no-nonsense baby tee).

Posted by: psflanagan on March 28, 2005 07:36 AM

Ok Ace, is that you modeling the shirt? You Have a nice tight little body on you man. Im impressed. I have a weak spot for underfed, unshaven guys. Perhaps you should check into a job as a male escort, it worked for the great one.

Posted by: Marty on March 28, 2005 09:12 AM

ACE - The UCC report has already said that Ward Churchill's statements are protected and that the allegations of misconduct are too old, and that his false claim of being an Indian has been looked at and warrants no action. Furthermore, they have chosen to "investigate" the plagurism alllegations for the next nine months. Clrearly, they are hoping it'll all just go away.

Below is the UC Financial Foundation and Board of Regents email addresses of so bloggers can tell them what we think and threaten a boycott.

If we don't take action by writing and threatening boycott (and doing it when we must) nothing at all will happen to Ward Chruchill and mark my words: he will only get worse. The Left will be encouraged to propogandize violence against the US and our troops. And it will be our own damn fault for doing nothing when we could easily have stopped him!

THE RIGHT MUST BOYCOTT!!!

Ok Ace, is that you modeling the shirt? You Have a nice tight little body on you man. Im impressed. I have a weak spot for underfed, unshaven guys. Perhaps you should check into a job as a male escort, it worked for the great one.

Nope, it's not me. For all my female (and non-female) fans interested in the 450 pounds of rompin-stompin sex that is Ace of Spaades, I created a "Virtual Model" of myself here.

Posted by: ace on March 28, 2005 02:29 PM

Wow, Ace, you're a pretty hot little muffin there! With that red hair, I'd guess you were Irish. Drunken, brawling, potato-boiling bastards, the Irish, but back in the day they damn well knew how to starve despite whatever crazy things their Pollack Pope tells them about the "right to life" and the "starving people is bad". Nowadays even my Fuhr--um, role model Pat Buchanan has gone soft and mushy and moist and pliable and warm and...(ahem) speaking of which, once I was serviced by a couple of Irish flight attendants. They were very into AerLingus, but afterwards they insisted on pouring guinness over each other and kicking me in my shamrocks. Haven't been able to eat Lucky Charms ever since.

Posted by: Pseudarford on March 28, 2005 02:56 PM

Wow, Ace, you're a pretty hot little muffin there!

Yeahp... I do okay.

Posted by: ace on March 28, 2005 03:04 PM

Oh my gosh, that Virtual Model thing is cool!

Thanks.

Posted by: Lipstick Dynamite on March 28, 2005 03:23 PM

PS, you run? Man, good for you. I always hated it and I use an elliptical trainer instead (easier on the knees and less, uh, bouncing).

Let us know how the Medium is.

Later,
bbeck

Posted by: bbeck on March 28, 2005 03:55 PM

Just wondering, will the baby-t accomodate my bulging biceps?

Posted by: Lipstick Dynamite on March 28, 2005 05:23 PM

Just ordered mine.

If HundredPercenter wants one of those cute little baby-tees for himself, go ahead and put it on my tab.

Let no one say I'm not the first to extend the olive branch.

Posted by: The Warden on March 28, 2005 07:35 PM

ACE - Pseudarford claims you're Irish, are you Lace Curtain Irish, Shanty Irish, or Pig-shit Irish? Joe Kennedy once said that the difference between the Shanty Irish and the Pig Shit Irish is that the Shanty Irish piss in the sink, while the Pig Shit Irish piss on the floor. Old Irish folk tune:

Lazy man get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up,

Lazy man get up, get up, we need the sheets for the table.

Born on the Emerald Isle at the fork of the Three Rivers, the Geek, the Nerd and the Dork, they still speak in awe of our hero the ACE:

There once was a geek named ACE,
whose dates always ended in mace ...

Lipstick Dynamite

Oh well, those Dusty Girls are just so scrawny...no muscles on em.

How are they ever gonna get a guy in a headlock?

Ahh, I hate to be obvious but since I was married to the curent Dusty (the Dirty Pretty Thing) I must say she doesn't need a headlock, a liplock will do quite well.

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 29, 2005 10:41 AM

72--

Just doing my schtick, baby. i.e., I'm a big ol' mountain of rasslin muscle for whom the headlock is a prelude or foreplay for the liplock.

Just having fun.

Posted by: Lipstick Dynamite on March 29, 2005 11:35 AM

Since we're knocking the Irish today, in the book The Dark Side of Calmelot, Seymour Hirsch describes a technique used by John F. Kennedy during s*x with prostitutes. He would get them in a bathtub or pool and as he was about to ejaculate, he would push their head under the water which would make them involuntarily squeeze and tighten their vaginas. He probably learned it from old Joe, who once invited Lyndon Johnson and his wife Ladybird to his residence, made them sit in the parlor a long time waiting for him, and then appeared through the front door squiring his latest nubile teenage "golf caddie." Saying he'd be right back, they bounded up the stairs to the bedroom and had sex so loudly that the Johnson's could not tune it out!

As to the surprise dunking technique, it is quite well known that JFK had a small penis, something he had in common with most bloggers.

There once was a weenie named ACE...

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 29, 2005 01:14 PM

Virgins, that fast fact about JFK is completely disgusting. And I believe every word.

Incidentally, red hair is more of a SCOTTISH trait, so I wouldn't be labeling Ace as necessarily IRISH. I should know considering the number of redheads in my family, including both daughters.

Remember, if it's not Scottish, it's crap!

Wanna join the "pool" betting on whether ACE's lips are au naturale or whether he's got lipstick on in his picture?

(Not that there's anything wrong with that)

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 29, 2005 02:45 PM

I dunno, the fact that Sy Hersch reported it pretty much guarantees that it's bullshit.

Posted by: someone on March 29, 2005 02:51 PM

someone

Yeah, I know. However, despite the fact the Kennedy's tried mightily to stop the book and almost succeeded, they never did sue Hirsch over anything in it.

BTW - Wanna join the "pool" betting on whether ACE's lips are au naturale or whether he's got lipstick on in his picture?

(Not that there's anything wrong with that)
