My Brand is Better than Your Brand Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Isn't this what it's all about? All those branded clothes, what are they saying with their logos? We have a suspicion that all they're saying is "Look at me! I wear a cool brand!" So why not cut out the actual brand name and skip straight to the chase? Whether you want to out-cool your mates, or just take a satirical swipe at the whole business, our original t-shirt is the one to wear... if you dare!

GEEK! Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: If you don't understand it, it's not for you. But it might be for someone geeky in your life! In which case… the numbers are the gravitational constant, G; Euler's number (also known as Napier's constant), e; e again; and the Boltzmann constant, k. We hope you can figure it out from there...

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year? Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Christmas time: mistletoe and wine, dreadful songs drive you out of your mind… but man, people will so insist you have to enjoy it. If you absolutely can't get out of wearing a Christmas jumper, make sure it's this one: holiday cheer up top, with the real message more subtly underneath. Because we both know it's the most wonderful time of the year... from January to November!

Plant Trees, Not Bombs Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Here at MBiBtYB, we're fairly keen on trees. Not so much on bombs. We do like going for a walk in the woods. Getting blown up - not quite as nice. So here's the lesson in a nutshell (no pun intended): plant trees, not bombs. :)

OK Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: OK, so it's not the fanciest t-shirt in the shop. But that's OK. Maybe OK is your favourite word. Maybe OK is how you're feeling. Maybe you just want a general-purpose t-shirt that answers any question you're asked. Any or none of those reasons is OK. OK?

Thinker? Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Make 'em think with this puzzle print t-shirt. If you like word games and mental challenges then give everyone a clue. But only a clue, mind: it's no fun if you give the answer away. And if you can't think of the answer, you could always ask somebody. Imagine that: a t-shirt that can be used as an icebreaker!

Studio One Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: This one goes out to all the people on the other side of the glass partition. We know that producers, mixers and sound engineers make music just as much as singers and musicians do. So, whether you remember the glory days of two-inch tape, or you do everything on your MacBook Pro... if you know your talkback from your crosstalk, if you know when to insert and when to send, then you can wear this t-shirt with pride. You rock :-)

Bone Idle Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Here at MBiBtYB, we don't just love cool t-shirts. We love music as well! We've noticed there's a real shortage of designs for musicians to show off what they love doing. So here's a shirt for all you trombonists: 208 bars of rest, with the slogan "bone idle". So now you can draw attention to your music credentials, even when you're "resting".

Magna Ra Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Magna Ra? Magna Ra? What the hell is Magna Ra? Some kind of Latin or Egyptian thing? It looks like a whole load of letters just jumbled up. I bet you could just shuffle the letters around randomly and probably come up with something that made more sense... Oh. I see. D'oh!

WTF? Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: According to the MBiBtYB dictionary, WTF? stands for "What the Dickens?". I guess the F must be a typo, kids. Honestly, can't people spell these days?

Insert here Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: You have to have a cool logo. Of course you do. Everyone has to have a cool logo. It's the most important thing there is. Doesn't really matter which cool logo, just so long as it's a cool cool logo. So, uh... insert one here. :-P

No L Noel Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: I bet you thought that, here at MBiBtYB, we were too cool to do a Christmas jumper? Well, to be honest, so did we. But then we got to thinking about how much some of you love a Christmas jumper, and we changed our minds. So here it is – hand-knitted from pure Norwegian reindeer wool, with a twist of our trademark deadpan humour. Compliments of the season!

Nearly Normal Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Following on from the success of our "Normal" design, we thought there might be an appetite for something slightly less demanding. So, if normal seems like too high a bar to aim for, try this instead. Because nearly normal is nearly as good... right?

NUPS Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Never underestimate the power of Stupid, for Stupid is both creative and persistent. Stupid comes in many forms, but it's not to be taken lightly. If you think something's foolproof, you're underestimating fools: they'll try something you would never dream of, and they'll keep right on trying even when it's obviously making things worse. All you can do is keep reminding yourself: Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid!

LMAO – Laughing My Head Off Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Yes, so are we - laughing our silly little heads off. But why is it not "LMHO", then? Apparently, back in the olden days when the internet was first invented, there was a worry that "LMHO" would get confused with "IMHO" - which, as everyone knows, means "In My Humble Opinion". Lower-case "L" and upper-case "I" can look the same in some fonts, so the standards people got involved and decreed that "IMHO" got there first, and "LMHO" would have to change. Why they chose the "A", nobody knows - according to rumour, it stands for "Laughing My ANSI-standard head Off". Honestly, what are they like...

CBA Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: The MBiBtYB dictionary explains the meaning of "CBA" as "Can't Be Bothered". Yeah, we know that Bothered doesn't start with an "A". It's a mystery to us, too... (Incidentally, this design is also available in white for dark-coloured shirts.)

Perfect? Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Nobody's perfect... not even me. The perfect gift for the know-it-all in your life, or that person who spends rather too long wherever there's a mirror... Alternatively, it's also perfect for you: the sensible, down-to-earth sort who knows your own limitations, but is still playful enough to make a joke of it. If you prefer it on a white or pale background, we offer a navy version of the same design. Because we like you to look, y'know... perfect. (Or close as.)

funcdose Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Funcdose. Of course, everyone needs a dose of func, right? Confused? Exactly. Or rather, exactly not. If you see what I mean. If you don't see what I mean, try following the arrows... Rearrange the letters... If you like it, wear it. If you still can't get it, just meditate for a while on how confused you are. We promise, it will come to you!

This statement is untrue Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: But... if it really *is* untrue, then saying it's untrue is true. Which means the statement is actually true. Which means that saying it's untrue is a lie. So it's actually untrue... Some people love these kind of word games. If you're one of us - I mean, them - then BUY THIS T-SHIRT! If you're not, then don't. Simple, no?

Acronyms, acronyms, acronyms Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Acronyms everywhere, they're driving us mad! To Hell with them! Chuck 'em in the pit! Trouble is, they've got everywhere and they've infested everything. It's going to be the devil's own job to weed them all out. Well, at least make a start by rocking this attention-grabbing design. Do it for our children and our children's children... do it for the sake of humanity.

I Hate Work Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: How do you feel about your job? No reason, just wondering... This t-shirt features an attractive abstract design in lines and circles which does not - repeat, absolutely DOES NOT - include a hidden message to your boss. It's not your fault if other people think they see letters among the lines... Designed to look great on a navy blue background, but feel free to experiment with other colours. It's your life.

Slaves and Cattle Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Did it ever occur to you that brands were used for marking slaves and cattle - and maybe criminals? Funny how, nowadays, we pay to wear a brand on our clothes, don't you think? Not quite the same, of course - no one's coming at you with a red-hot branding iron in the sportswear department, thank goodness - but still... Makes you think, doesn't it?

University of Life Mug
Main Tag:  

Description: Ever noticed how some people like to wear university sweatshirts? And often, it's not even a university they've been to! What's that all about? Well, here's one that you can wear in good faith – it's the university of life, and you're a graduate! (By the way, if you didn't study Latin at the University of Life - and a surprising number of people didn't - that fancy motto just means "understanding comes from experience".)
