We haven't discussed t-shirts in some time, and that's not because we're over them, but rather we thought we had covered them all. We stand corrected. In fact you might say we "loiter" corrected, especially if you like puns and society doesn't generally find you very funny.

Our very own Cat Lincoln introduced us to the wonder of craftastrophe.net, a website where you can send pictures of horrible crafts you've seen (or personally created) for review and perhaps publication. We have been checking said website obsessively ever since. Above, you can see why. We are delighted and horrified. We are delorified.

SnorgTees has been selling fine t-shirts on these here Internets since 2004. That makes them 117 in Internet t-shirt company years. That's saying something.

Their beginning wasn't overly auspicious. In fact, if not for a successful clearance sale at the local ski shop we might never have known the cleverness that is SnorgTees, and frankly, we would have been the worse for it. We'll let them tell you all about it:

The publishers of the new book, Forgotten Fashion: An Illustrated Faux History of Outrageous Trends and Their Untimely Demise by Kate Hahn, swear that it is a parody of the fashion world. Just for laughs!

The book describes 28 faux fashions that took the world by storm then faded away, all of them such dead on parodies you'll keep checking to make sure this is a humor, not history, book.

And it is totally funny. But after reading it, we have to admit, the fashion world is so over the top that these humorous essays seem completely plausible!

Psycho Reindeer makes t-shirts and we'll talk about that, but first we should address the company name and figure out what it means. It isn't something to be ignored.

According to the company founder on the Psycho Reindeer website: When we were dating, my lovely wife gave me an old sawdust-stuffed reindeer toy as a Christmas gift. I liked it so much it became the namesake of my t-shirt company.

I believe he meant to say "an old psycho-stuffed reindeer," but regardless, it's still a fun name.

The shirts are even better:

Campfire was started by three friends that "shared a sense of humor, a passion for art, and a love of typography. They wanted to wear their hearts on their sleeves." Yes, a love of typography. Beautiful.

Here are some of their creations, heart on the sleeve and picture on the torso:

Whatever kind of girl you are (or those you know if it's a gift) Festa T-Shirts has you covered. The company, founded by Christopher Festa in 2003, specializes in producing t-shirts for women that showcase geographic and lifestyle themes. This doesn't mean that Festa doesn't create shirts for non-women, namely men and kids- it just means they've found a nice niche and they are running with it. Hey, why not?

Crooked Monkey Funny t-shirts is living the dream. The clothing company was formed by two buddies in 2005 and quickly shot through the ranks of the t-shirt elite. Within two years they were being featured in GQ magazine and popular stores like "Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, Lord and Taylor, Kitson, ShopIntuition.com, Fred Segal and over 550 other fine retailers across the world (including Japan, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia)."

T-Shirts That Suck is an online company that specialize in "offensive apparel for the whole family." Granted, the tees will probably offend the whole family, but you may not want to dress your whole family in them. It really depends on how dirty you want the looks sent in your general direction.

We love us some good funny. We also love a creative t-shirt. Put the two together and you're singing our song, or at least humming it.

The folks at Goodie Two Sleeves know the tune, and they are pretty good at carrying it.

No Star is a t-shirt company with a sense of humor and a mission. They want you to buy their shirts, but they also want to make you smile. Yes, that is their mission and it's needed more than many people realize. In fact, we're smiling right now, but that's because we're simple and a little bit drunk. Still, it's a start.

Attus Apparel, the guys that brought you these wonderful polos and current world record holder for the most popped collars worn at one time (23) have finally gone green. It was a long time coming.

First of all, today is Mother's Day- have you called yours? We'll wait.

Okay, that was a close one. Now back to the matter at hand, the Mother's Day commemorative t-shirt. The good news is that the Internet is full of options for Mom, the bad news is that they are mostly crap. Actually, that's about the way it is for most things on the Internet. It's not personal, Mom. Here are some of the better prints:

We really like Vintage Vantage, and not just because they were soaked in voting controversy (guess where it started? We're looking at you Florida) or that they are officially at war with the country of Denmark, valid reasons they both may be. No, we like them because they make great shirts.

I've been getting rather high-brow lately with regard to t-shirts and their being a canvas that delivers art to the masses. Sure, it's true, but sometimes a t-shirt is just a t-shirt. I mean that in the nicest way.

NoiseBot understand this. They aren't trying to encourage people to read Tolstoy, they want people to watch LOST and link unsuspecting readers to incredible websites. They make t-shirts the way they were meant to be, bright, silly, obnoxious and kind of funny.

The company is ran by some self-described crazy kids in their 20's that stay up too late, ride buses and love Taco Bell. They love what they do and it shows. You can show it, too. Each design is available in a number of t-shirt colors for $20.95, on a hoodie for $35.95, or a tote for $15.95. They make great gifts and offer a few laughs. What's not to love?
