Geek Apparel of the Week: Gatchaman, Acererak, and an Apparel-Themed Interview
 |
?? I don’t know how many of you guys are Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets fans, but I image there are very few people who consider themselves fans that won’t want to buy this incredibly awesome shirt. It’s $12 at Nowhere Bad for the next day and a half.

?? If you don’t know Acererak, then you’ve apparently never stopped in the Tomb of Horrors. I have any respect for any shirt that references a rather obscure D&D NPC, especially one as metal this thing. It’s $25 at We Love Fine.
? This isn’t a shirt, but it’s related — a couple of weeks ago the excellent pop culture/apparel blog/shirtmaker Found Item Clothing interviewed me about my taste in nerd shirts, and l forgot to mention it because I’m an ass. I’m mentioning it now, though. If you want to know how or why I pick the shirts I do… well, I’m not sure how much this will help, but it certainly can’t hurt.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
