Shirt.Woot

So THIS is where it went! I've wondered when I'd spot this on the tee circuit. Congrats!

That poor gnome, where's that stick going?

I'd say that's definitely more of a metro-santaclaus.

Fat - check
Long white beard - check
Red-and-white attire - check

The only reason he might be a gnome is because of his pointed hat!

No offense, but are all the shirts on this site mediocre puns? Funny to see, but you wear it and your friends say "Haha. I get it."

That gnome keeps the rhythm. I don't want to know where that stick goes though.

David is that you? I used to watch that cartoon every day. I miss my gnomies.

I kind of want one of these as a statue for my garden.

Look at how bushy his eyebrows are! I'm sorry, but that gnome is not metro.

I don't know khoufu, I'm sure the staff of Travelocity.com would love to wear this...

As a music teacher, I love it, but if he's truly "metro" shouldn't he have fashionable glasses and a dressy shirt?

ha! and he looks a little like he's holding up his pants. Nice fuzzy detail on the boots. Definitely a fashion forward metrosexual type of gnome.

Yeah pretty much. Which is why I haven't bought a shirt for myself since September of last year.

If I wear this shirt can I get some good travel deals?

Will this gnome help me get my travel schedule on time?

*rimshot*

As a DC native, I appreciate today's "Wear this shirt". I think it should also apply when in Paris.

had an old wooden pyramidal one with a dial and a flashing light with a Tock Tock Tock noise. Annoying.

This is the free software version right?

I was just about to comment on the need for pruning those unruly messes.

Definitely agree. I always look at the design before I read the title, and I was thinking... "Santa on a metronome? Why is that funny?"

This is *definitely* one where it would only really be funny if the title was on the shirt somehow. Otherwise it's just a "Huh?" for me.

Maybe you just have to live where they have "gnomes" more commonly.

More like metro-GROAN.

The husband is laughing and proclaiming "Never metrognome alone." Apparently he's been heavily influenced by Travelocity commercials.

I always wondered what he did in the off season.

Does the top of the metronome look kind of like a creepy face staring into the depths of your very soul? Or am I just ready to go to bed.

Obligatory link to David Bowie's "The Laughing Gnome," which contains this among other equally atrocious puns.

Congrats Ian, awesome work!

Is it me, or does the top of the metronome look like a smiley face?

That's funny. He doesn't look like Ryan Seacrest.

Perhaps the next shirt could be MetroNome as in Nome, Alaska. I'm imagining a snow globe or some sort of alien abduction.

...I thought it just looked like a house... until there were several posts saying it looked like a face.

I was really hoping that the pun would be completed with a metro(sexual)gnome

Probably Option 2.

Not going to linky, but "Metro Gnome Music" is a store here in Tucson. Google it ;)

This only made me think of Magic.

Congrats ianleino!

I wondered if anyone else caught the subtle Bowie reference.

Keep in time, or you'll turn to stone!

(Or am I getting my mythologies confused?)

I have one of these mechanical metronomes, but it occurs to me now that I've never seen another one outside of that. Do people still use these anymore, or is everything electronic now?
