Dr. Jay’s picks up Crooked Monkey T-shirts

Friday, November 14th, 2008


Twas the night before a big shipment, when all through the warehouse
Every creature was stirring; even the boss.

Drjays.com, an awesome online retailer, put it in a huge order on Monday, which we had to print, bag, tag, and deliver by today. In order to make it happen we had to perfrom some miracles. Just to put it in perspective, it’s the equivalent of a professor assigning the final exam and a term paper two nights before its due date.

We took on the task because we like performing miracles, and we were thrilled that Dr. Jays wanted to pick our t-shirts up for the holidays. So last night we got the shipment of shirts in at 7 PM and the pizza arrived shortly thereafter at 7:15. We spent the first 45 minutes of the night eating pizza and procrastinating. At around 8 we realized we should buckle down, because the shipment wouldn’t prepare itself.

We had Ben, Tammy, Jessica and myself on hand to accomplish the task. We didn’t leave the office until 11:30. Ben missed the football game, Jessica had two tests and a quiz that she forgot to study for, and Tammy missed her bedtime by about 3 hours.

This morning at 9 AM the shipment was picked up and delivered to Dr. Jays. You’ll see us on their site within the next few days. Buy a shirt to support our miracle working.

Mini fridge, Big deal

Monday, October 6th, 2008


After three years of no mini-fridge, Crooked Monkey now has a home for its Gatorade bottles, Grey Goose handles, and pizza bagels.

It took this long because we were looking for just the right mini-fridge to fit in the office. Ben actually doubted that we would ever get a fridge, but I proved him wrong the other day when I surprised everyone with the mini-fridge and stocked it with the aforementioned goodies before anyone else got to work. And one-by-one each individual noticed the mini fridge, and offered their own unique reactions. Everything from high-fives, to bear hugs, to tears.

We’re always looking to improve the experience for the Crooked Monkey team. It’s not easy producing Funny T-shirts, and we want to show the C Monkey team that we appreciate everyone’s hard work at creating the funniest t-shirts on the planet. And this mini fridge is just the beginning.

I’ve been out of town for a week–sorry funny t-shirt lovers

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008


Bloggers have tremendous responsibilities and I feel like I’ve neglected them for the past week. I haven’t written about funny t-shirts, fruit gushers or anything since I don’t even know when. I feel like I’ve even forgotten how to write a blog, it’s been so long.

Some people say writing a blog is like riding a bike, but, for one thing, you don’t have to sit on an uncomfortable bike seat when you’re writing a blog. I’m actually sitting in a pretty plush chair gazing out onto a sea of Funny t-shirts. What better view could you ask for?

I was out of the office for the past week at a tradeshow, and Ben held down the fort. Making sure that the funny t-shirt empire thrived in my absence. Actually Ben made some changes while I was away. Apparently he’s the new CEO of Crooked Monkey. He had a board meeting, in which he was the only attendee, and put it to a vote and miraculously won. Congratulations Ben.
