New: When Gamers Were Made of Iron, and Consoles Were Made Of Wood - Atari VCS tee

This shirt is 20% off for a limited time.

OK, made of plastic meant to resemble wood - but really - stop being so technical , it was meant as a humorous comment on the ancientnousositiness (that's an official caveperson word) of the Atari Video Computer System. You can get it here.

The design; however, is apparently made of stone and wood.

A little bit about the shirts

All shirts are hand screened and are printed on demand. This shirt will generally be screened, heat set, and shipped within one to three business days of your order.

At the moment, the shirts are sourced locally; and we attempt to use Gildans or Jerzees for the heavyweight 100% cotton ones; however, we will also use heavy weight 100% cotton Hanes or Fruit of the Loom tees if that is all that is available in a particular size. You can also request Hanes Comfortsoft cotton/poly blend tees (the hues will sometimes be slightly different on these).

We can accept special requests; if you want a different color or type of shirt or ink, if you'd like the graphic (when applicable) to be a different color than the text, we'll be happy to work with you, just send us a note and let us know.

For special orders, please understand that since we currently source our tees locally, we can't guarantee the availability of a particular color in all sizes. This is normally only a problem in sizes larger than XL. In addition, for the women's fitted shirts, we currently have no control over whether the shirt will be scoop neck or v-neck. Contact us and we'll do everything we can to get you the shirt you actually desire.

New: Start, Select, Option, System Reset - Atari 8-bit tee

Function keys? We had them way before the IBM PC Compatibles

Introductory price of $12.99 - coupon codes still apply.

So, what is this shirt about?

This shirt shows the four function keys on the Atari 8-bit computers, and those computers are listed in the bars meant to represent the "safety" on the 800, which helped keep you from accidentally pressing the System Reset button. The function keys were programmable and assigned various uses in different programs.

This shirt is available in a variety of color combinations, and you can request your own.

The basic design

Here's a close up of the bars.

New items: Liberal Veteran tees, all five US service branches

Available for all five branches.
Get them at Military Tees at The Wits End

The Wit's End has liberal veteran tee shirts available. Many people are under the mistaken impression that the military is one giant block of conservatives.  That is not true at all.  Admittedly, the ratio is in favor of the conservative elements, but there are a significant number of progressive military servicemembers and veterans. Part of the problem is that the conservative members are more vocal, and get most of the attention.  This leads to the more liberal elements keeping their mouths shut because they believe that they are hopelessly outnumbered. These tees help get the word out that they are not alone, there are other liberal veterans and one of them is standing right in front of them as they read the shirt.

Each shirt has three variations (Army only has two) you can choose from (using the USMC one as an example ):

Abbreviation (Not available for the Army)

Without U.S.

With U.S. (this is the default)

Are you a liberal veteran?  Do you know one? Consider getting one (or even many - bulk discounts are available) of these tees. They are currently on sale, 20% off the normal price. That makes them $12.79 for a limited time - or as low as $10.39 each for bulk orders.

The shirts are hand screened on demand.  They are available in a variety of colors and shirt types.  You can also special order your own color combinations at no additional charge (note; however, that it may add a little time to the order while I find the shirt color you desire.)

Are you looking for shirts for active duty members?  Progressive military members? Atheist military members?  We'll have those available soon - they are on our Etsy shop and we are in the process of transferring them to our online store.

New item: MOS Technology MOS 6502 tee

Are you a fan of the MOS Technology 6502 or one of the many variants? Atari, Apple, Commodore and many others used this chip in their 8-bit computers. It was also used by consoles such as the Atari 2600 and Nintendo's NES.

I cut my teeth on variants of the 6502. I well remember poking code into page 6 to add machine code to my Atari 8K BASIC programs.  I still have some of my Atari Macro Assembler programs floating around on cassette and 5.25" floppies.

This design is currently on sale for 25% off of the regular price.  It's only $11.99 and bulk discounts are available.  Check it out at:

You can also request a special order, if you desire your own color of shirt and ink.

First sale at the new online store. Yay me!

Just had my first sale at http://thewitsend.aliboom.com! Technically, it is the second sale; however, the other one was handled via email and phone call and doesn't register as a sale in the records on the site.

The sale is significant to me (thanks Herb!), because I'm actually paying for a storefront, and I want to make sure that I am at least getting that money back.  Being on a fixed income, I want to be able to show my wife that opening an actual store (as opposed to our shop on Etsy) was a good decision.

This is the item that was sold:

Atari 8-bit 'Ready' prompt tee
