Or so this guy hopes you’ll be saying:

That there is An Yanshi, a Chinese calligraphy teacher who claims he listened to the music of the spheres and that it told him that green tea leaves grown in panda poop have twice the cancer-prevention power of regular green tea leaves.

“But Matt, surely this guy can’t be serious?!”

First: don’t call me Shirley. Second, he very serious. So serious he’s actually secured a license from the Chinese government.

But real talk: we’ve been using animal pooh as a fertilizer for tens of thousands of years, both wittingly and unwittingly. The use of panda pooh in lieu of good ol’ democracy-loving bovine/equine/swine-ine waste to grow vegetables isn’t what’s shocking. It’s the price tag this dude thinks such tea is worth: $343 per 50 grams. That’s a lot of green for not a lot of green (tea)! And this insane pricing might seem more fair if there was actual, y’know, scientific evidence backing up An’s claim. But there’s not.

So, y’know, same old story: starving-Chinese-calligraphy-teacher-comes-up-with-hare-brained-get-rich-quick-scheme-to-dupe-consumption-obsessed-Westerners-out-of-their-money (which is really China’s anyway now because of how Crippling Debt Rules Everything Around Me—C.D.R.E.A.M.)

I finally got around to getting some new art online. Apologies for the lack of new designs, it’s been a busy summer. Below are the newest creations. I hope you dig them:

In other Ex-Boyfriend’ish news, Fall is coming! To keep you warm and stylish I’m looking into ordering some long sleeved tees. For the guys, I’m looking at American Apparel’s 4.3 oz cotton long sleeve jersey. For the ladies, I’m look at Bella’s 3.5 oz cotton long sleeve crew neck jersey. Both are fairly light weight cotton and nice for layering. Let me know what your interest level is like and if I get some good feedback I’ll make these available. If you know of some better blank or have other comments, let me know below, or just reply to the poll below.

In the meantime, here’s what the blanks I’m considering look like:

Pandas are the most ridiculous animals under the sun. Just look at this mom chilling out eating some bamboo when her little one lets out a sneeze. Naturally she reacts with fright, like a crazy panda. Then returns to eating her bamboo. Priceless.

This adorable panda falls out of a tree and gets pretty pissed off about it. You’re so cute when you’re angry, Mr Panda.
