Imagine how different the world might have been. If someone looked at the external control device and said “Hey, that looks like an eggplant!” Because, you know, the early ones, they kind of did look like an eggplant. If you squint a little. Well, sure, by the time you saw one they didn’t. We’re talking about the early ones.

Imagine if that external control device had been an eggplant. Why, shirts like this wouldn’t exist! And we’d be in a world where adorable mice were still vermin, while eggplants were looked at as cool. Nerds would order the Eggplant Parmesan and smile a secret smile. Old people would say “Eggplant? It looks more like a zucchini!” and then wonder why no one was laughing. And worst of all, millions of adorable little easy-to-make jokes would be lost, because who ever tried to draw an adorable cartoon eggplant?

So thank heavens things worked out the way that they did.

Wear this shirt: to really bother the farmer’s wife. She’s such a luddite.

Don’t wear this shirt: to see the Nutcracker. They’ll make you sit in the visiting team seats and those suck.

This shirt tells the world: “If you make a CueCat joke I swear to God I will find one and beat you to death with it. REAL DEATH.”

We call this color: When You See Them On Asphalt They Get Called Rats
