Nine of the best (non-RPG) geek shirts

A few weeks ago, I tallied up my favorite role-playing-themed T-shirts. In wandering that corner of the Web, I ran across several non-RPG shirts. A few of my favorites are below (click the headline to visit the source).
9. Shirt of Invisibility
If I wore this shirt, I’d pretty much leave it deactivated all the time, lest you be exposed to Belly of Blindness.
8. What are you doing?
Even though the three models on their site completely creep me out, I love any shirt that’s so smart it posits the answer without having to include the question.
7. F.U. in braille
F.U. (for folks whose web profanity filters are a tad too tight) in braille. See, it’s funny because, in order to read it, you’d have to…. You know what? If I have to explain it, it’s not funny.
6. And you thought YOUR download was long
This shirt makes me want to get pregnant, biology be damned. Where you at, science?
5. You read my T-Shirt
Aw, got Twitter Twubbles? Need a little alone time? For the social networking geek who just needs his or her space, nothing says “get bent” like a shirt that pretty much tells you to, well, get bent.
4. Anybody seen a ghost?
Do you seem to regard science as some sort of dodge, or hustle? Then this shirt’s for you. The 8-bit Ecto 1 works fantastically with Blinky and Inky (or Shadow and Bashful, depending on your era).
3. I’d like to power her converter… or something.
I’m a sucker for fake corporation T-shirts. From Blue Sun to the Umbrella Chronicles — even Callahan Auto, I love a good phony corporation. In the vein of, “the more subtle, the better,” this Tosche Station shirt wins the prize.
2. Android stole my ride
This one’s subtle, but effective. Moreso if you use the line, “Bitch stole my ride,” in your best Starbuck voice.
1. “And we shall call it… this shirt.”
I like this shirt not for its design so much as how subtle it is. Take an obscure show, pick an obscure line from the pilot episode that barely saw the light of day in the first place, and you have a shirt that only a true fan would love.
What did I miss? Make me regret my list below!

The Twitter tee cracked me up. It’s perfect!
Oooh, that ghostbusters one is now bookmarked, filed under “want.”
I love this Transformers one, even though it’s not an official one: http://getslapt.com/product/robots-in-disguise
Sadly I had to retire to shirts yesterday and a third is going to be joining it shortly. My geekdrobe is slowly waning. Time to start building it back up.
I want the power converter shirt, if only to constantly prompt my husband to whine out, “Ugghhh… but I was gonna go down to Tosche Station to get some power converters…” I love Star Wars, but man is Luke a whiny little beyotch in that scene!
Some very nice choices. Ghostbusters Pac-man really speaks to me.
As a Trekker, I feel I should point out this one as one that got missed.
Crewman #6 Won’t Live Long or Prosper.

Um, Luke is a whiny “beyotch” in every scene….
I’m not into the “geekdrobe,” except when it comes to Star Trek: The Experience fitted tees. I have about ten of those. I only wear such t-shirts about twice a year, but I can’t help but buy them all the same.
This may be a bit outside of the geeksix lexicon – well maybe it fits within Christy’s territory – but a good buddy of mine made me this shirt when I was preggo. I wore it to a Stephanie Meyer book signing and it got major props from the lady herself. For all the Twilight fans out there, this shirt = subtle awesomeness: http://www.cafepress.com/scifimom.240801313
And for all the “haters” in the house, there’s always the “Real Vampires Don’t Sparkle” tee. >;)
Exhibit A:

I’m not a hater, actually—of the books. For the movie, however, I envision a tee with the light-box poster on it, and the words, “Move along: this is not the movie you’re looking for….”
You know, QMX who make the Firefly dinosaurs t-shirt have come up with another one that only a Browncoat would get (everyone else would just think you were a bit weird…):
“Define Interesting:
1. Capable of holding one’s attention.
2. Arousing a feeling of interest.
3. Oh God, oh God, we’re all going to die.”
(you really have to have seen the movie)
Cheers,
D.
Actually when it comes to Twilight I read the first book, didn’t see the interest in stalker sparkly vampires so I support the following tee
