we got these boss shirts direct from internet artist claire chanel, a reaction to boston’s banning of the “stop snitching” t-shirts. they are available in both sizes- XL and XXL.

i actually had to refuse to sell this shirt to a couple folks before i could let dooley here get it. everyone else was getting it because they liked the movie “the goonies”, when the shirt actually commemorates the band “the goonies”, who were quite a force in central mass. my reasoning was that anyone psyched about the band would be a million times more psyched about this shirt that someone who was psyched about the shirt because they were psyched about the movie. right? anyway, you can see it in his face right here- PSYCHED!
the goonies were a brace of seriously bold kids who grew up to be champion adults still up to seriously crazy hijinx. for more see the goonies archive, and bonezone (which consists of three ex-goonies).

and yes, this is the same dooley who made the awesome suicidal shirt. looking good, hurricane!
we get a fair amount of clothes and not all of it lives up to our standards of fun / fucked up. when we get an egregious surplus, our mode is now to give it out to weird punkers who sew, dye, draw on, and generally mangle the garments into something presentable. careena made this one, i love the emoticons, and i love idea of a shirt that expresses the idea “i do not like this shirt”.

whiteout style on a homerun sundae collection.
mad plastic hats for tiny players - $.75
you seriously can’t wear these hats unless your head is the size of two scoops of ice cream (your choice flavor).
full gallery after the cut, except i sold the san diego padres “punk’S not Dead” before i could take a picture of it.

here’s my man neil hard-repping futures-of-the-past: wearing jen mcmahon’s aborted “futurama” halloween glasses and talking into a “merlin”, the early handheld game with weird buttons. stay fly, neil!
some would have it that on the back of this glove stands a turtle and on that turtle’s back the world. others would posit that there is no elephant glove and it’s just turtles all the way down. this glove is so fucked i love to have it just to see people put it on and struggle with its meaning every single day. which is why i have priced it at $3 a head. modeled by laura!
elephant head glove - $15
here’s boston’s own matty cupcakes sporting what we think is a tammy faye baker mask, which he subsequently bought. “hours of entertainment” said he, which if fine as long as he includes us out.
spooky mask - SOLD (to matty cupcakes)
we get these condoms from aids project worcester, which is a great resource with lots of great people working there (hi jesse!). i guess a big box full of condoms is a pretty funny thing when you’re in a weird junk store with a group of friends, but what people really bug out over is the female condom. people take them all the time but i don’t think anyone has the guts to actually use one. wise guys take them and play like they’re going to insist on it. but judging from popular response, female condom = sex edsel. but i’m not discouraging anyone– even the edsel had it’s merits. anyway, if you need them, take them, no shame there.
oh, and if you’re going to APW to get a free test (which is good to do just so it isn’t a big deal), keep your eyes peeled for a really good spraypaint drawing of a helicopter on the road leading up. i don’t know who did it but it’s really cute.
i know where these crazy ties come from- people’s dads. but where do they go when dad gets wise and scraps the lot? some got sewn into the legs of jeans in a short-lived 90s fad. others less fortunate are destined to get used in halloween “loud white guy” costumes. this sighful eye-full might harbor a future hair-ribbon, quilt piece, tourniquet, or colorful lasso, but many of it’s ilk will only ever get dusty. billy blue bought one the other day and wore it to a gig- the tie had buttonholes in the smaller end so you could button it to your shirt and not have it fly all over hell. he asked and i ask too, why don’t all ties do this? also he wanted to know what the deal was with small / skinny ties, namely, why would you ever wear a fat tie. i called jenine for a tie width chronology, but she was away from her phone. jenine, when are fat ties coming back in? and why?
ties - $1 per
eric yankus-franco is a really funny and great guy in that modern method that matches an amicable, attentive, and ready acceptance with the willingness to eat things for money and a general sure-why-not-ness (probably triggered by a hilariously phallic last name). eric left this shirt at mike’s house after a show and now we’re selling it. he says he’ll come buy it and maybe that’s true– one thing for sure is that if you buy this shirt and he sees you wearing it you are in for a great ride. today’s model is once again the lovely pam. take a bow, pam!
eric’s shirt- $6
pictures from eric’s “king for a day” project, in which he wore a child’s size elvis costume and ate everything elvis ate in one day in one day. warning- contains serious vomiting and extreme mooseknuckle!
