Following on from the long running and hugely popular Muscle Car of the Week series, the new year brings the all-new T-Shirt of the Week series.
This is what the internet was made for, linking together people with a need to people with stuff. Finding this t-shirt was more than just a purchase, it was a meeting of geeks, an unspoken bond of understanding made through PayPal. Why? It doesn’t say on the t-shirt what it is, you have to know.
Yes, yes, I know that it’s also a way of avoiding copyright and trademark issues, but don’t burst my bubble here, I’m having a moment.
Oh aye, it’s the Antarctic research base from John Carpenter’s The Thing.
Meh… cheap imitation. Checkout the “original” film ref-tees (this one included).

Oh, that’s nice. I like the Nostromo one too. More shopping coming up I think.
With the Weyland Yutani Corp logo on the back as well. Very nice touch.
What pleased me, wasn’t that I immediately got what this t-shirt referenced, but that my wife did too. One of the many reasons I had to marry her ;)
The biggest bummer is that I thought “The Thing” that was just in the cinemas was a remake, I didn’t realsie it was a prequel set in the Norwegian camp.
Scanning Virgin’s movies on demand on a daily basis for it right now!
I wionder what Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel will be like?
I never knew “The Thing” was a prequel either. Bugger :( I’ve looked into that new Ridley Scott one btw but there’s too many theories on what it is and when its’ set etc so I decided to just wait it out.
And speaking of tees, check this oot and then tell me you wouldn’t. http://www.teefury.com/archive/1419/Death_Before_Dishonor/
Oh aye, that’s a good one.
Hasn’t been enough Shatner on here of late.
