BURDEN OF DREAMS TEE

I always forget about Tumblr when I'm making new stuff — my bad, those of you who are still on this platform. My partner and I are making this shirt based on the documentary Burden of Dreams, about the making of Fitzcaraldo. It costs $28. I am placing the order tomorrow, 12/4. Please pop on over to my webstore and place a preorder if you want one.

BURDEN OF DREAMS TEE - $28

Dusty Rhodes prepares to wallop Terry Funk with his cowboy boot during one of the many bloody brawls in their legendary feud. Funk is wearing his classic “Dusty Sucks Eggs” tee, while Dusty’s reads “Everybody’s Somebody In Luckenbach.”

The Garbage Ape went to Walt Disney World, but judging by the look on their face, they did not have a great time. Perhaps, as they gazed into the gigantic, lifeless eyes of the gathered mascots doing their best to entertain in the heat with plastic heads the size of dishwashers strapped to their bodies, the Garbage Ape came to realize that they, too, were a kind of mascot, a simulacrum representing the joy other animals feel about the prospect of eating garbage. Maybe they went to Walt Disney World and came back wondering when Heathcliff and the other cats would come to see them as an individual. Then, like they mascot siblings in Orlando, they dutifully took their garbage cans up and went bounding through the park, the whole time dreaming of their autonomy.

(I feel kinda gross mentioning it, but I have a Patreon and a Ko-fi, and I’m trying to supplement the writing I do here and elsewhere (mostly elsewhere) with whatever I make. I’ve also started posting on Instagram if that makes it easier for you to follow.)

Oh hey there. If you were wondering, I’ve re-launched one of my Tumblrs, despite my having no clue how this medium actually works anymore.

Oh hey! UPDATE!

So, OKCupid is probably too far gone for me to ever really try to get this going again. I might transition it to some other wrestling-related thing, I might not. But it means a lot to me that some 8,000 of you weirdos liked this while I was doing it.

If you want to see (or listen) to what I’m up to now, I’m doing a podcast about the fashion of professional wrestling with Jes Skolnik. So far we’ve talked about Rick Rude, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, WrestleKingdom, the Young Bucks, and, in the above, the very last episode of WCW Monday Nitro, where Shane McMahon wears a ribbed turtleneck sweater to Spring Break.

Please check it out! Follow the podcast @gearswitchpod on twitter!

Thanks for everything!

PRE-ORDER: Gay Community T-Shirts

Cute queer ppl keep asking me for shirts and I am a weakling. Also I'm moving into a new place at the end of July and don't own a bed. So...

OLD SHIRT ALERT

THE GAY COMMUNITY | $15 | PRE-ORDER ENDS 4/6/18

People won’t stop asking for these shirts and demand + upcoming circumstances dictate that sure, I’ll print these again, as long as you want me to. Also I saw one of these in the crowd at NJPW Strong Style Evolved and got hype.

I have UPGRADED the quality of the tees these are printed on after noticing that I have repeat buyers because Gildans tend to fall apart after awhile. S-3XL are printed on Next Level tees and 4X-5X are on Gildan Hammer tees. The good, soft stuff, y’all. The price has gone up a little, but it’s worthwhile. International shipping is still expensive, but I will do it. I swear to God I will do it.

PRE ORDER: 1997 World's Strongest Tag Determination League Ring Apron Tee

PRE ORDER ENDS MARCH 31 The Sega Saturn ring: A gift to us all. Look like the ring Hayabusa, Kawada, and some jawns in green and orange panties...

NEW SHIRT ALERT

This is an incredibly specific tee, a tribute to the perfect wrestling ring: The 1997 Sega Saturn x AJPW number that graced the world during the 1997 World’s Strongest Tag Determination League. Trust me, if you wear this to a wrestling show, people will be baffled. 

It’s going to be printed on a blue Next Level shell by my palz at LVAC. International shipping is prohibitively expensive, but if you’re game I’m game.

$15 | Pre-order ends March 31
