A couple of cool things happening around these parts today.  First, today is the 220th anniversary of the Bill of Rights.  In 1941, President Roosevelt declared this day Bill of Rights Day, to celebrate the anniversary of its ratification every year.  Today is a great opportunity to get a killer patriotic shirt.  As President [...]

Good afternoon good people.  I’ve got two more fun ones today for which you can make your own shirts.  The first one is a little more legitimate, although I’ll let you judge by how much.  December 14th is Alabama Day, and marks the day in 1819 when Alabama became the 22nd state in the [...]

Two fun days for you guys to learn about today.  December 13th is, in addition to other important occasions, both Violin Day and National Cocoa Day.  Lets all take some time to appreciate music and live symphony in our local communities, including both professional and amateur (high school, etc.) endeavors.  Violin Day is meant to [...]

By now, you can be sure that “So and So” Days are sort of a thing of mine.  So let’s keep it going, eh?

December 9th is International Anti-Corruption Day.  The official release of the United Nations Convention on Anti-Corruption Day states that the UN is “concerned about the seriousness of problems and threats posed [...]

Saint Nicholas was a pretty cool dude.  Not the Western fairy tale incarnation Santa Claus, with the red coat and all that; I’m talking about the real deal.  The main man.  The 4th century Saint and Bishop himself, Nikolaos of Myra.  Do I know what he did with his life?  No.  Do I know how [...]

Hello folks,

In keeping with my “here’s what’s special about this day” theme, I shall take this opportunity to tell you about Cities for Life Day, observed around the world every year on November 30th.  On this day in 1786, Peter Leopold Joseph, Archduke of Austria and Grand Duke of Tuscany, became the first European [...]

We know you’ve all been waiting for it.  We also know that you’ve already got the party planned- confetti bought, cakes made, presents wrapped- you’re just waiting for the date.  Well, it’s finally here: our Clip Art Gallery is going live!

Our talented artists Ryan and Linh have been working around the clock (well, as [...]

Tomorrow might just be the best holiday of the year.  Thanksgiving is a day when the average American will consume 3,000 to 4,500 calories in a feast that future civilizations will no doubt envy.  And not only is there a ton of it, but Thanksgiving foods are some of the best foods; pumpkin pie, mashed [...]

It’s coming.  For some, it’s the most dreaded day of the year.  For others, it’s better than Christmas since you don’t need to deal with any pesky in-laws.  It’s Black Friday (gasp!).

Black Friday is nuts.  Retailers offer deals on almost everything in their stores to attract Christmas shoppers.  Stores used to open right at [...]

How’s it going y’all?  After the explosive opening weekend Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 just had, movies are on our mind here at ooshirts headquarters.  And boy do we love movies.  Like, a lot.  So here’s the situation: we’ve got ten dollar popcorn and soda combos, the lights are off, the TV and [...]
