The Curmudgeony Librarian
You take them for granted; you think they're wallflowers. But one day they tell you "Don't Make Me Shush Your Ass", and the world changes.

I've always liked librarians. When I was a kid, I worked in the school library; my aunt was a librarian, and my mother used to ask what the librarian and I were getting up to out there in the stacks. So when I had a life-changing experience during Rachel Weisz' "I am a librarian!" speech, in The Mummy, it wasn't news to anyone. I still don't know why she doesn't return my calls.
But I digress.
Librarians have one of the Really Neatest Jobs in the world.
The Curmudgeony Librarian Superstore is owned by, run by, and painstakingly sorted by, a librarian. The core of the designs on these tshirts, coffee mugs, stickers, tote bags, gewgaws and gimcracks are based on a lifetime spent in Library Science. They're obviously meant for librarians to wear, but there's nothing to stop anyone else, of course - and there are other sections in the store for general circulation funny tshirts and other goods.

Librarian Gear

The library-centric sections of this site offer "Librarian Gear", "Sexy Librarian Finery" and, one stack over, "Librarians for Good", a section whose profits all go to a variety of charities. There's a childrens section, too, in "Librarian Baby Gear", for folks in the lower ranges of the decimal system.
Filed separately are buttons, magnets, stickers and license plate holders.
Several of these are crisp text designs, nicely done, with slogans like "Hmmm... My Librarian Senses are Tingling" or "Information Mafia", not to be outdone by "Information Hottie". There go those Rachel Weisz flashbacks again.
There are some more colorful or graphic designs like "Queen of the Library", and the odd hybrid of an umlaut-heavy "Metal Librarian" t shirt. Look for Metallica under "M", but don't play it or your ass will be so shushed.

Politics, Employment, and Wenchery

The Curmudeon, though, is nothing if not eclectic.
Also in the (card) catalogue are stacks of political, employment, and just plain humorous designs. There's a Wenchery section for labelling wenches of all descriptions, from "Anime Wench" to "Info Wench". You have no idea how badly I wanted a Z just then.
And there's even an opportunity to wander over to the computer room for "Blogger Gear", which may explain what those particular patrons are doing hunched over the library's screens for hours on end. I was wondering, but too polite to snoop.

What's not to like?

Budget cuts! Book banning! Adminstrators!
Not a thing, really, other than those. This is a nicely laid out niche site with some amusing and attractive designs on a variety of apparel and other items. Being a niche, it won't have something for everyone - though it is surprisingly general, in some areas - but that's exactly where its charm lies. Have a look!
