The extra B is for BYOBB

We know it’s a little late in the season, but it’s still August and Labor Day hasn’t come. That means there’s still plenty of time to (1) wear white, and (2) cook outside with some friends!

Usually we do not participate in nor condone the retail strategy of “Christmas in July.” Procrastination is our forte; planning ahead makes us uneasy. However, we know that there are people out there capable of looking more than forty-five seconds into the future – probably through some form of voodoo – and this post is for all those ~~sorcerers~~ planners.

Nothing Mundane presents… holiday cards! In the middle of summer! Zazzle is running a “Christmas in July” promo, so you can get them up to 60% off by using the promocode JULYHOLIDAYZ until July 25, 2014 at 11:59PM (PT). The Z is for savingz – time to stock up!

Have a special ho in your life? Or maybe several, depending upon local area codes? Well, don’t fret, we have the perfect card for you:

Just imagine all the fun conversations you can have with relatives both young and elderly alike! (alternative layout / t-shirt versions available too)

Not sweet enough for you? Okay, well how about this:

Get it? Wholesome? Don’t worry, it will be hilarious come December. (minimalists can change or remove the text with the “customize this” button)

We also offer the gingerbread men on stamps, wrapping paper, and t-shirts. Available in both “whyishelickinghislips” and “omgsomeonejustatemylegwhatiswrongwithhim” flavors.

This year, get a jump on the holidays – before it can get the jump on you.

This Is What Happens, Larry

Sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, ’cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles.

From one of our favorite movies of all time, we’ve got a new design lamenting an iconic tragedy. We’re talking about drawing a line in the sand here! Across which you DO NOT-

Well, I guess what we’re saying is:

Available as a print here.

Even better, we’ve reworked the quote a little to fit onto a card for that special someone you care about, whether it’s a bowling buddy, a redheaded lover, or a Little Lebowski Urban Achiever:

The inside can be customized to your liking. Some suggestions from Nothing-Mundane:

Get well soon!
Thinking of you!
Coitus?

And if you don’t like this design…

I guess that’s the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin’ itself.

In defense of the ‘stache

The fake mustache trend. Those of you who know us personally know how we feel about this. We were early adopters, and used mustaches as seating cards for the guests at our wedding. We own BeerMo Bottle Mustaches. We have Mustache Magnets. We like mustaches. One of us has a real one (you’ll never guess who). We like being silly.

Sure, the marketplace maybe over saturated with mustaches, and this trend may be fading, but in our hearts, the fake mustache will never die. Heck, even Dada artist Marcel Duchamp knew the greatness of the fake mustache (see above), way back in 1919.

Why wouldn’t you want to look like you have a mustache while drinking your morning cup of coffee?

Ah, much more distinguished. One might even say… presidential.

OK, the fake mustache might not be mature, but who cares. Treat yourself to a mustache mug and tune out the rest, because haters always gonna hate.

State stamps

A while back we posted this wedding save-the-date stationery. The stamps in that collection are cataloged in the wedding section of our store, but in reality, they are appropriate for far more occasions. They add the perfect touch to housewarming announcements, family reunion invitations, or for any correspondence where you want to show off your hometown pride. All you have to do is change the text, and voilà! a perfect stamp for any occasion. Make yours here.

Wow. Such meme.

wow.

much funny.

so majestic.

Don’t know doge? Well, thanks to the strange place that is the internet we present to you Shibe Doge:

An image displaying the profound thoughts of a Shiba Inu, written in comic sans.

such internet.

Now usually, I will never, ever, condone the use of the font comic sans in any design. Blue comic sans was my font of choice on AIM 10 years ago, and I regret it everyday. Comic sans is the worst.

But Shibe Doge makes it work. Maybe it’s the horrible grammar. Maybe it’s the neon colors. Whatever it is, it is so bad that it is good.

However, this meme is more than an amusing picture. It has taken it’s popularity a step further than reddit and facebook posts, and it has spawned a legitimate cryptocurrency called “dogecoin.” One man is even selling his vacation house for 100,000,000 dogecoins (approximately $135,000).

With that much clout, how could we not honor the Shibe Doge? So we made some t-shirts. To the moon!

It’s Elemental

We like nerdy stuff here (surprise!). But we especially like nerdy things that are done well. Like Breaking Bad. We can only hope that the show has encouraged a whole new generation of ~~drug lords~~ chemists.

In honor of Walter White, we present to you our “essential element” collection. A merging of chemistry and our favorite vices, bitch.
