70s Physics Team Coach Vintage T-shirt (unworn)

Can you just imagine the glee in the hearts of the students who presented this gift to their Physics Team coach? 

After months of training and competing and learning formulas together, they came up with a present that he would be sure to love. 

Would he wear it to school? To mow the lawn? To the grocery store? 

Nope. The tags are still attached. He wore it nowhere. 

You can change that! Give this shirt a life. Physics Team Coach 70's vintage t-shirt on Etsy.

- Some Nancy Drew research indicates this shirt is likely to have belonged to Mr. Moore, the science teacher from Zionsville Community High School, Indiana.

Think Before Posting about Sickness

I recently saw an Etsy seller's instagram photo of a thermometer with a 103+ degree reading. This person had the flu. My immediate thought was "Damn! Even if I wanted to buy a ____ from him, I would wait at least a week." Call me crazy but I don't want somebody with a high grade fever handling the things that I buy. 

I am not an extreme germaphobe. I could not be an extreme germaphobe and spend 5-10 hours weekly in thrift stores! But I do try to avoid contagious people, and that includes vendors of all kinds - foods and crafts. 

Everybody gets sick - it's natural. And I know posting a picture of your thermometer, or tweeting about your head cold, or facebooking your kid's stomach virus is showing the true, real, authentic side of your life, but I entreat you as a seller to think about the message you're sending your customers - order from me, germs guaranteed! 

This is just one person's opinion, and the person is not a microbiologist.

Behind the T-shirt: Something Else Sweatshirt

A new addition to the What the Flock vintage shirts with funny words series is: SOMETHING ELSE.

The story behind this is that I find myself calling my dog 'something else.'

 He is full of energy and mischief and comedy and often I say, "Pouncey, you are something else."

Pouncey (R) puts moves on Maizey (L) 

Kareem is something else.

1986 Pound Purries Cat in Original Box

In the mid 80's, a stuffed animal was created which introduced kids to the idea of "Adopt a Shelter Pet." They were also riffing on the success of the adoption concept behind Cabbage Patch Kids.

The plush toys were called Pound Puppies (dogs) and Pound Pur-r-ries (cats). They were available in two sizes - big and small - and came in a box that looked like a chain link kennel.

Each pet had a PP logo on its butt.

Each pet came with care instructions, and a mail-in offer for a pet ID name tag.

They spawned a TV special, TV series, and a feature film.

Way to go little shelter pets!

Great Smoky Mountains - Cherokee Black Bear Waving Hello

the black bear on this t-shirt seems to be waving his paw.

which would be strange except that i know from experience that bears have very flexible wrists.

look at that angle! the bear in the driveway last month looks like he's wearing jester shoes.

it's possible bears wave hello.
