T-Shirts with Smarty Pants Sayings Now Available
12 February 2014
You asked for them.
These designs are customizable. At the link, you’ll find both black and white lettering for each design. You can put any design on men’s or women’s shirt styles in a variety of different fabric colors.
PG doesn’t plan to get into the t-shirt business, but if you have other suggestions for snarky sayings, drop them into the comments and he’ll consider including them in this (cough) exclusive collection.
, Amazon will pay Passive Guy a small affiliate commission on any of your purchases. 
PG,
Love this. Will be getting one.
I might invest some of my 70% royalties in the bottom one :).
I’m so glad you’re doing this.
Yay!
Now, the real question is how do I justify this as a business expense for my writing?
Those would be fun to wear at the next convention I attend. But who would be considered liable if an agent or publisher sees me and spontaneously bursts into flames?
Not a chance, Sandra.
Nice job!
I like that middle one.
These are so completely fantastic! Who came up with the sayings? Will there be more? I’m loving them.
Most of these were suggested by TPV visitors, Andrea.
Any chance we can get the fish on a bicycle in white lettering on dark t-shirts?
Yes, Josh.
If you follow the link, you’ll find both white and dark lettering for each design. You can also choose different colors and from a variety of different styles.
I guess that’s what I’m asking–white on black for the fish/bicycle shirt appears to be absent from the selections. I notice there are 21 designs uploaded, with all of them having a w/b and b/w options.
I screwed up, Josh.
I’ll get the white on black version up. It takes a day or so to appear.
Thanks because what is a fish without a bicycle?
Ah. That’s the one I want, too. Actually I want white lettering on blue. Long-sleeve. Fish Bicycle. Let us know when it’s ready for ordering!
Yes. Does Zazzle offer long-sleeved shirts? That’s what I wear.
LOVE. All of them are really great, but I think I’m going with “All I got was this lousy t-shirt. And money.”
I know what I’ll be giving all my writer friends as gifts for birthdays and whatnot this year.
Seeing as they are not books, perhaps you could sell them through Barnes and Noble!
okay, I just snorted my mocha at Starbucks and folks are looking at me!
These are awesome.
I hope you link them at the top or side bars!
I still think an Amazon Derangement Syndrome one would be cool. Just can’t think of a quip…..
Amazon Derangement Syndrome
noun ˈa-mə-ˌzän di-ˈrānj-manht ˈsin-ˌdrōm
: a disease or disorder that leads to solvency, suffered exclusively by that class of authors who publish independently of the traditional publishing industry.
Well, there goes this month’s paycheck from Amazon. Thanks for putting these together, PG!
You’re welcome, Suzan.
Yay! Something to spend my first romance only royalty check on! Woo!
Too much choice!
Which means I’ll have to buy more than one. =)
Went with the “I destroyed…” first. Heh.
I still like the old standby: More people have read this shirt than your blog.
Of course, that’s not the case with TPV!
Oh geez! I love these! But the problem is I want them all! Why are you doing this to me??? What about totes? Hmmmm?
These are full of AWESOME and I want them all!!! I will proudly wear them at our RWNZ conference this August. I’m sure our self-publishing guru speakers – Courtney Milan, Marie Force, and Jim Azevedo of Smashwords – will appreciate them
I’m planning on being at the RWNZ conference, so I’ll look out for you. It sounds as though you’ll be easy to spot…
Here’s what New York is seeing right now…

None of my slogans got picked. :’(
And I thought my Scott Turow jabs were golden.
I ran out of time before I ran out of great slogans, D.L.
Don’t give up hope.
I hope you still do the ‘Write. Edit. Publish. Repeat.’ one.
“I refuse to be culled” – love it!
My favorite was the “Thank you for your interest….”
I am so getting one of these!
Ordered! I love zazzle. They make the whole setting up a shop easy.
Holy cow! I leave the house for a few hours and P.G. destroys publishing as we know it! Thanks, P.G.!
Makin’ my list…
Make that t-shirt publishing as we know it, Bridget.
Ordered two immediately. Can’t wait to attend my next writer’s meeting wearing one. w00t!
“And money.”
hahahaha
Thanks for doing this, PG!
You’re welcome, Kathlena.
I love the “I refuse to be culled” one. Take a look at the post H.M. Ward left on the kindle boards about laughing in the faces of the trade publishers who were trying to get her to sign with them with their amateurish marketing plans. It makes that quote so much sweeter when you read that quote after reading her post. Donald Maass didn’t have a clue what he was talking about.
Link, please, Liz?

Thanks bunches, Josh!
Awesome link, Liz & Josh!
If “Legitur Contractum” ever happens, I will buy it *instantly*.
Holding out for “Caveat Scriptor.”
What does that mean, if you don’t mind my asking?
FABulous!
Gee, if trad pub had attempted this it would have taken two years to get it up and running.
Dan
P.S. Thanks PG. You solved my Valentines Day present problem.
You’re welcome, Dan.
Definitely going to get one for RainbowCon in April!
‘I publish, you perish’
the best!
That’s the one I got.
And for those of us in the UK: http://www.zazzle.co.uk/dpvan1234
Thanks, Lexi.
Now I really need to get off my butt and self publish something so I can celebrate with a cool t shirt.
Oooh. What about “Here Be Disruption”?
I just had to buy “I refuse to be culled.” Now to decided whether to wear it to Sisters in Crime meeting next week or save it for the Tucson Festival of Books.
Me buy.
They are brilliant. My credit card is about to hate me.
I love all of these. Especially the “I destroyed literary culture” one. Because, dontcha know, that’s all part of my master plan. I won’t rest until I and my CRAPPY UNPROFESSIONALLY-EDITED SELF-PUBLISHED SWILL have brought Western Civilization itself to its knees.
I’m so getting one. Or two.
For your next run: “I regret I am unable to accept unsolicited rejections at this time”
and
“I am the grammarian about whom your mother warned you”
Awesome.
