When Steven Moffat unleashed Blink, the now-iconic episode of the modern era of Doctor Who, he brought back something that was sadly missing from Who up until this point – a truly terrifying, original monster.

There have been plenty of t-shirts made featuring the Weeping Angels, but very few are as awe-inspiring as this one from Ript, available today only. The artwork is impressive, and even if you’re not a fan of the text, as some people on Ript’s site are saying, it doesn’t detract from the overall design too much. Personally, I really dig the text and its rough appearance. And without the text, it would just be an angel statue on a t-shirt. Sure, it could be a Doctor Who reference, or it could be a lame Goth shirt kids buy at Hot Topic. The text makes it a Doctor Who shirt, so it’s absolutely essential to the design.

If you’re a Who fan, head over to Ript today and snatch up this excellent design today. It’s $10 well spent.

Everybody loves Angry Birds, right? For being so pissed off, they’re all cute and cuddly, and the way they dispatch pigs in the game is so rated G it borders on adorable.

But in real-life, outside of the game, it’s a completely different story. Those blood thirsty avians aren’t just angry…they’re hungry. And they won’t let a good slice of bacon or ham go to waste.

If you’re ok with bird-on-pig violence, you might want to “dig in” to today’s Ript Apparel t-shirt, available only on 1/31/2011. Head over to their website to pick up your own for only $10.

“That’s no moon…”

While I’m getting tired of the “nostalgic icon crossed with another nostalgic icon” school of t-shirt design, I have to say, today’s Ript Apparel offering is pretty nicely done.

The concept is pretty familiar, but the quality of the artwork makes it stand out in this case.  A too-simple, too-cartoony line drawing would just look cheap, but because this almost looks like a photograph, it works.

Either way, if you grew up on Pokeman and Star Wars, this shirt should be an easy hit.  Sort of like how you used to bullseye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

Head over to Ript Apparel and pick it up for $10 today only!  After 12:00 midnight Central, you’ll have missed your chance to catch it at all.

For you, every day is an epic adventure.

After you battle through morning traffic, you take on TPS Reports, spar with a wicked receptionist, attack your InBox with berzerker rage, and vanquish the evils of annoying customers. Before you know it, you’re still at work an hour after the office has closed on a Friday evening…and you have yet to take on your greatest challenge of the day – The Final Boss.

Somehow, as he calls you into his torch-lit chambers, you find yourself with three hearts left; it’s not much, but it’ll help.  Little does he know you also have a secret weapon – you know about the boss and the wicked receptionist.  This secret was given to you by a helpful bearded manager, who beckoned you into his cubicle and whispered in your ear, “It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!”

Armed with this knowledge and your own fortitude, there’s no way he’s going to keep you late tonight.  Not now.  Not ever again.

Add this awesome 8-bit inspired shirt to your collection by heading over to Threadless.

Remember when having an Ewok on your shirt was grounds for ridicule?  Or when your regulation Star Trek uniform would get you pantsed in gym class?  Ok, well, both of those things might still hold true today, actually.  The point is, there was a time when wearing your geek on your sleeve was a bad thing.  But now that Mario Bros. red is the new Goth Kid black, it’s become perfectly acceptable to have a clever reference to video games, comic books, Star Wars, or Transformers as part of your wardrobe.

We here at Tophat Sasquatch fully support this new fashion sensibility by bringing you our TSOTD (For those of you not into the whole brevity thing, that’s our “T-Shirt Of The Day”).
