wait... what?

Written by Jay on April 30th, 2012.      10 comments

I'm aware that you've probably already watched this - seeing as you've got the internet and all that - but there will probably be a few of you interested in watching this performance of a lady dancing on some butter again anyway.

The eyes. It's all in the eyes. and the hips. and the legs.

This kid is better than yours

Written by Jay on April 27th, 2012.      0 comments

I don’t have a kid. But if I did, I’d imagine that I’d constantly be quietly comparing my baby's qualities to that of other babies I knew; who’s more attractive, who’s developing the best, who has the best chance of becoming an athlete – all natural thoughts I assume every parent secretly has.

With that, this kid definitely has the makings of an athlete.

We've got some BellyFul tea towels that we think your Mum might like for Mother's Day this year. 100% of  profits goes to these guys over at Bellyful, they need it. BUY THEM HERE.

PRICE CHANGE

Written by Jay on April 26th, 2012.      20 comments

PriceRise Newsletter 1

WE’RE RAISING OUR PRICES

Why? In short, because we need to*

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

Well – providing you still wish to purchase from us:

  • Our standard t-shirts (tees, v-necks, scoops, tee dresses and singlets) will now be $35 where they were $29.95
  • Free Shipping on all NZ orders over $100
  • The current 3 for $75 combo will now be 3 for $90
  • Blank Tees will now be $25. which is still a really great price.
  • ‘Today’s Deals’ will still be $19.95 & $49.95 for the tees and jumpers respectively
  • Hoodies remain $89.95, as we felt any higher wasn’t reasonable
  • We’ll still haveclearance items if you think the rise is too big

WHEN?

Our prices will be changing online on Monday, so essentially this weekend becomes a sale of sorts for those of you that look at the bright side of things (given that they go permanently up on Monday).

*LONG VERSION

It’s not something we take lightly; we always do our best to produce our products at affordable prices, and while it’s only a small increase we do want you guys to know why we’re increasing the price – and we hope that you still like us and buy our products.

Over the last few years, several costs have increased to a point where we have to make a small change in the price of our products. The most noteworthy include the rising price of cotton, the increase in GST, an increase in our freight costs (brought about by petrol prices), and importing costs. While we’ve tried our best to absorb all of these costs (and have done over the last few years without changing the price), we’ve come to the point where a slight increase in price has to happen.

 

Thanks for (hopefully) understanding, and if you have any further questions or suggestions, leave a comment, or just send me an email and we’ll talk it out.

underwhelming video

Written by Jay on April 26th, 2012.      0 comments

When a youtube video gets around a million views, you could reasonably assume the video in question is pretty entertaining. When the video involves a Japanese man ordering a burger with 1050 extra pieces of bacon, you have even more reason to be excited. Not so much though, and I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but this video is pretty terrible – certainly not befitting a Mashable article on it.

Allow me to save you some time: man orders burger with 1050 pieces of bacon, man can’t finish it, man goes to bathroom – presumably to be sick - and a few other guys have some of his bacon. Video over.

A seahorse giving birth

Written by Jay on April 24th, 2012.      5 comments

If you're not familiar with the reproductive habits of the seahorse, you might be interested to know that it's the male seahorse that incubates and gives birth to the eggs. You might also be interested to know that when he does this, it looks very interesting... You can skip to 0:55 to see the magic begin.

only a fool breaks the 3 second rule

Written by Jay on April 23rd, 2012.      5 comments

Every now and then an artist comes along with what I like to call the entertainment trifecta; image, talent, and passion. Lisa has the added bonus of an amazing team behind her to choreograph and produce this spectacular video, which I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Apparently after the videos ‘success’, she deleted the video from her account. But it was too late, the internet has it now.

oh how we laughed.

Written by Jay on April 20th, 2012.      4 comments

You've probably all seen this video, but you can't help but laugh at the gentleman with the very high voice. Very entertaining. I laughed for minutes when I watched this either Dutch or Belgian man.

Don't leave me hangin'

Written by Jay on April 19th, 2012.      2 comments

One of the most uncomfortable things that can happen in today’s society is a missed or ignored high five. We've all been there; you put yourself out there, the high-five isn't reciprocated... do you just got for the shoulder pat when you're bringing down the high-five, or do you just clench your fist in quiet anger? Either way, just be glad your effort wasn't captured in this video.

Our Führer is finally back today from his 3-week excursion on a boys trip...  A little 'sunkissed', but he's back. Show him some love.

more talented kids

Written by Jay on April 17th, 2012.      4 comments

Some kind of childrens medieval band playing a Rammstein cover. If you know of Rammstein, you know how weird this is. Still, I'd hire them to play at the cock n bull on a saturday night; better than the horrific cover bands they usually have.
