International Suit Up Day (ISUD) is celebrated on October 13th of each year.  On this day, suit up in honor of How I Met Your Mother, and Barney Stinson, and because suits are awesome…

For more information and to confirm your participation, visit the ISUD facebook event page. I’ll remind you again when it get’s close but I would love to see some pics of how you chose to suit in an upward direction!

Another thing I love are t-shirts I see on TV. Call it an affliction or some sort of weird people I will never meet form of peer pressure…hell, call it weak sales pitch resistance. One of my favorite shirts (that I can’t find an exact replica of) come from Scrubs. It’s the “I’m what Willis was talkin’ ‘about” that J.D. (Zach Braff)… I did find one at T-Shirt Hell (*warning: site might have objectionable content), and while it is awesome it is not quite the same.

Either way, in tonight’s episode of How I Met Your Mother titled, Not a Father’s Day, Lily and Marshall are considering having a baby, but Lily wants advice from Ted and Robin, first. However, she soon finds they have very different views. I haven’t seen the episode yet but I have seen the preview and it show Barney with some pretty clever “Who’s NOT your daddy” tshirts! While not the same (but pretty stinking close) you can get your own Who’s NOT your daddy shirt on Cafe Press there are several variations so check out the choices. Just another way of helping you Be Awesome Instead (of whatever you’re doing currently… sorry I always hate ending a sentence with just “Instead” so I thought I would mention the implied part)

1. I Don’t Wanna Grow Up – An neither do I. This shirt symbolizes everything that is good about Mario and bad about life.

2. 1up Mushroom - If only everyone could have their very own 1up mushroom. Then when things go horribly wrong you could just end it all and restart at the beginning of the level.

3. Score with the Princess – One of the first idealized female influence in most men’s lives, the princess is hot. Take this shirt as you would.

4. Mario Revolution – Viva La Mario! Nice spoof of the popular Che Guevara t-shirt. On this t-shirt Che’s face has been replaced with that of the original revolutionary, Mario.

5. Mario Brother Plumbing – Established in 1985 the Mario Brothers Plumbing company has been doing most of their business in the Mushroom Kingdom however they are available for house calls.

6. Get a Life – Not just a simple put down, but advice… I’ mean you’ll probably need that for the next level.

7. Mario Warp Zone - I’ve tried climbing over walls in my home and workplace to find these. If only…

8. This is Why I’m Hot – Fire flowers are useful in winning arguments. Keep this in mind. The great thing about this way of throwing fireballs is that you don’t have to say words like “Hadouken”

9. Mario/Luigi 08 - The best choice our country could possibly make. True Story.

10. I’d Hit That - What is in that box? Gold Coins? Super Mushrooms? Fire Flowers? There’s only one way to find out. You’ve got to hit it.

Honorable Mentions (Basically means 12 Most Awesome Mario shirts, but 10 who ever heard of a top 12 list?):

Big M - Simple but powerful. The “Big M” is enough to make koopa troopas shake in their shells.

Oh snap – Parade around with the abusive taunting power of the Piranha Plant. (Razor Teeth not included)

“Dear Aaron ,

You are awesome and I love your Inigo Montoya name tag shirt. Even though I know I will never look as good as you in one…where did you buy it?

Sincerely,

Some Guy without an awesome shirt.”

ok. well I might have made that one up but you get the point. Either way I got said shirt at LuckyThreadz.comLoiter Apparel. Check out their site and get you a shirt. Just don’t wear yours on the same day as me. Thanks!
