I had visions of a rat-like robot's squeaks being converted into English so that some boffin could ask it lots of questions to see how smart rats actually are. Sadly, the robot in question doesn't look anything like a rat.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5206357835844502484-1340653540968079492?l=robotzombiepirateninja.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206357835844502484.post-86689658904843302612008-08-14T16:14:00.004+01:002008-08-15T09:07:55.972+01:00Here's a quick list of some great robot, zombie, pirate & ninjas t-shirts available on the ever-awesome <a href="http://www.threadless.com?streetteam=boyBacon">Threadless</a>:<h2>My favourite <em class="robot">Robot</em> t-shirt on Threadless</h2><a href="http://www.threadless.com/product/787/This_Shirt_Hides_My_Cold_Robot_Interior?streetteam=boyBacon" target="_threadless"><img src="http://media.threadless.com/product/190x180/787-minizoom.jpg" alt="Robot T-shirt"/><br/>"This Shirt Hides My Cold Robot Interior"</a><p>Not particularly exciting, but the robot t-shirts are a bit lacking on threadless... there are <a href="http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=BOH-GROIN&Category_Code=BOH">other great robot t-shirts</a> out there, but I don't have an affiliates account for those ;p</p><h2>My favourite <em class="zombie">Zombie</em> t-shirt on Threadless</h2><a href="http://www.threadless.com/product/141/Corporate_Zombie?streetteam=boyBacon" target="_threadless"><img src="http://media.threadless.com/product/190x180/141-minizoom.jpg" alt="Zombie T-shirt" /><br/>"Corporate Zombie" by Nik Holmes</a><p>This is definitely one of my favourite t-shirts on Threadless (in fact, I'm actually wearing this one today).</p><h2>My favourite <em class="pirate">Pirate</em> t-shirt on Threadless</h2><a href="http://www.threadless.com/product/593/Pirate_Infested_Waters?streetteam=boyBacon" target="_threadless"><img src="http://media.threadless.com/product/190x180/593-minizoom.jpg" alt="Pirate T-shirt" /><br/>"Pirate Infested Waters" by Benjamin Weisman</a><p>Pirate fashion is a bit done to death to be honest, but this tee is actually quite subtle.</p><h2>My favourite <em class="ninja">Ninja</em> t-shirt on Threadless</h2><a href="http://www.threadless.com/product/392/Squirrels_Are_Nature_s_Ninjas?streetteam=boyBacon" target="_threadless"><img src="http://media.threadless.com/product/190x180/392-minizoom.jpg" alt="Ninja T-shirt" /><br/>"Squirrels Are Nature's Ninjas" by Tom Brazelton</a><p>Actually, ninja t-shirts on Threadless seem to be prety thin on the ground..

Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!</strong>. Now, I know what you're probably thinking: <q>"What <em>is</em> <strong>Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!</strong>? How did I end up on this crappy blog!?"</q> Well, to put it simply, I dont' really know what the Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja! blog is for yet. But somethings I can tell you are: <ol> <li><strong>Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!</strong> are a 4-piece band from Dundee, Scotland started up by 3 former members of <a href="http://www.bislutsinheat.co.uk" target="_bsih">Dundonian-nu-skiffle-smut funk pioneers, <strong>BiSluts in Heat</strong></a>.. although we haven't officially settled <abbr title="Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!">R!Z!P!N!</abbr> as the name for the new band yet.</li> <li><strong>Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!</strong> is a kids TV show that has been "in pre-production" (i.e. a stupid idea that floats around my head and occasionally falls from my mouth, but goes no further) for a few years. Its all about a futuristic superhero who combines the powers of the robot, the zombie, the pirate and (you guessed it) the ninja in order to defend the citizens of Discovery City from continual attempts of alien invasion. Nice.</li> <li>This blog will likely have interesting updates on robots, zombies, pirates and ninjas from time to time.</li> </ol> Well, there you go - first post on <a href="http://robotzombiepirateninja.blogspot.com">Robot! Zombie! Pirate! Ninja!</a> done!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5206357835844502484-5302233874148810597?l=robotzombiepirateninja.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>baconnoreply@blogger.com0
