subtlety is not my forte

October 8th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in design, food, store

angry ninja has never been the most subtle with his intentions while in the “dating” phase of a relationship. in fact, while in a relationship, the following conversation usually occurs:

me: why did you decide to go out with me?
lady: well, i knew you liked me.
me: whaaaaa?! how did you know that?
lady: well you wouldnt stop asking for my number, and then you wouldnt stop calling me, and then you added me on facebook, and wanted to hang out all the time…
me: so how did you know that i liked you?
lady: ….

so there you have it. i dont beat around the bush when it comes to my intentions with a lady. you shouldnt either. thats what this chinese food doggie bag take out box t shirt is all about.

if she doenst know you want to go out and eat some chinese food with her when she sees this shirt, you really have to step up your game there buddy.

side note on the zazzle store. some of you may not know this, but i leave all of my shirts fully customizable on the store. this means that you can take one of my designs, put it on a mens/womens/kids shirt dark or light, and change all of the text. you can even choose the shirt material, 100% cotton, vintage shirt, heavy duty, etc. the shirts that i have predesigned on the webstore are just a simple guide to what the shirts could look like.

yum yum dim sum

September 26th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in design, food, store

i love dim sum. usually its eaten during brunch or lunch, but occasionally i get it for dinner or late night snack. my favorite dishes (in no particular order) are:

  • shrimp dumplings
  • pork dumplings
  • pork bun
  • custard bun
  • steamed sponge cake
  • shrimp rice noodles

it always surprises me when people tell me they have never had dim sum. i like to freak them out by ordering the chicken feet.

when i was growing up, my parents would kick me out of bed and force me to skip my saturday morning cartoons in order to beat the midday crowd at the restaurants. always totally worth it. i mean if you cant get out of bed for dim sum, there might be something wrong with you.

so now you know the inspiration behind these shirts. if you have never had dim sum before, definitely go try it out. if youre in my neck of the woods, ill go with you. and i promise not to order chicken feet.
