The Washington Redskins need to lose out all their games

Monday, November 21st, 2011

We don’t talk about the Washington Redskins too often, because it’s the same story every year.  High expectations in the preseason coupled with low results on the field.  But the main problem with the Redskins is that we are perennially subpar, but never horribly bad.  We go 7-9 every season, which just puts us in limbo.  No playoffs, and no draft picks.  We need to just suck. Stop trying to win games, stop trying to stay in the middle of the pact, and just embrace the future.

Take a look at the Panthers. They sucked last year–and they got Cam Newton.  They suck this year, and they’ll get another few draft picks.  In two years, they’re going to have built a contending team.  Take note, Redskins.  Lose out the rest of your games, and don’t make excuses along the way.

Rain Rain GO AWAY

Friday, September 9th, 2011

I’m sitting in Washington DC, writing this blog post. We don’t usually write about the weather, but this is a special occasion. It’s rained the entire week, Monday-Friday, nonstop downpours.  It’s come to the point that where, when it’s just drizzling, it feels like the rain has stopped.  I have never seen anything like this–usually rain comes, and then it goes.  For the last week, the rain has just forgotten to exit, stage left.

If you don’t live in DC, then here’s a little video that kind of captures the experience.

America. Fuck Yeah

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

Ain’t nothing like celebrating the fourth of July in the nation’s capital, Washington DC. Downing beers, eating hot dogs, and learning new drinking games–these are a few of my favorite things. Sprinkle a little bit of Federal fireworks, with a panoramic view of DC’s citizenry launching their own fireworks, and you’ve got one hell of a night.

America. Fuck Yeah.

Walking a mile in her shoes

Monday, June 20th, 2011

Crooked Monkey Cares is our tagline for our charity work. We’re proud of all the DC-based charities that we’ve helped over the last few years. Usually we will help them with their branding/marketing in the form of making awesome t-shirts.

Sometimes when we help a District of Columbia charity, they convince us to come out to their event.  That’s always a blast, because we get to support the charity not only with our resources but also with our presence.

And sometimes, when we help a DC Charity, they have us dress up in high heels and “walk a mile in her shoes.”  No joke.  Yesterday I woke up at 8 AM on Sunday Morning to don some super sleek Pink Wedges for the Becky’s Fund Annual “Walk a mile in her shoes.”  I’d post pictures, but I look too good in high heels.

In all honesty, it was a great event to raise awareness for Domestic violence against women.  I was joined by lots of other guys, including football players, who support ending domestic violence and bringing attention to the fact that 1 in 4 women are subject to it.  Congrats to Beckys’ Fund and the DCCADV for a successful event–and keep up the good work.

A weekend of public transportation on WMATA

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

I’m a big fan of public transportation–it’s convenient, economical, and most important of all, Green.  The Washington DC metro is super clean and very nice.  Its a pleasure to ride, especially when it’s not rush hour.  The New York subway/bus system is truly amazing–you can get anywhere in the city for $2.25–and the trains are always running.

So this weekend, wherever I was going, I was taking public transportation.  I’m hoping this was just a bad weekend to experiment, because it was an annoying experience. 

Friday night–dinner in Cleveland Park.  So we decided to take two buses to get there.  First one–wait was 5 minutes. No problem.  Second one–wait was 15 minutes.  AHHHHHHHH.  4 other buses departed before mine got there. The dinner was lovely–thanks for asking.  Then we hopped on the Cleveland Park metro to go to Dupont.  19 minute wait.  AHHHHHH.  But we did meet lovely people on the metro, so that was nice.  On the way home, we cheated and took a cab.

Saturday–Heading to the O’s game.  My friend lives in Rockville so we decided to meet up at the Forest Glen Metro Station.  Green line–10 minute wait.  Longer than usual, but hey it’s the weekend. Switch at Fort Totten, and it was a 17 minute wait–to go four stops.  AHHHHHH.  Metro ride itself was nice–got to catch up with an old friend.  On the way home, we got smarter and took the Greenbelt station (no transferring) and only had a 9 minute wait.  Saturday night – Took my inaugural Capital Bikeshare ride (more to come on that pleasure, because i’m a huge fan of capital bikeshare) to Dupont circle.  Got on the metro at around 11 PM– 15 minute wait.  AHHHH.  From Tenleytown, I biked home.  I had learned my lesson.

The weekend of public transportation?  More like the weekend of the 15 minute wait.

To be fair, I think this weekend there was some track work going on, so that’s why all the trains were so late.  I’m still a big fan of the Metro system, but it’d be a lot easier to be an evangelist if the trains ran more frequently.  Which is why we need to continue to ride the metro–so they have a reason to run the trains more often.

What does this post have to do with Funny t-shirts?  Not much.  But its got a lot to do with living in Washington DC

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

For this week’s t-shirt, “No One’s ugly after 2 AM,” we decided to teach you how to wear a t-shirt in the cold, because it is FREEEZING in Washington DC (actually its below freezing).

So that’s how its done–over a Crooked Monkey thermal.  And in honor of the holidays, all our t-shirts are 20% off.  So put that in your stocking, and smoke it.

Hanging with the Salahis

Monday, April 12th, 2010
The Power Players Club threw a bash for the Salahis the other night at District Nightclub in DC. We were tempted to crash the party, but found ourselves on the list for the party (big thanks goes out to Ali and KAC from Power Players Club).

As soon as we got there, we headed over to the stars of the night Michaele and Tariq Salahi. We obviously took pictures with Michaele, I should’ve worn a tux–would’ve worked better with the whole crashing the party thing. And if I could’ve done it all over again, I would’ve placed her hand on my chest.
I chatted with Michaele for a little and then told her that she should start going to these galas in t-shirts. She asked which shirt she should wear, and I told her: “I crashed the White House State Dinner… and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.”
Tariq and Michaele loved it–they were super nice and had a good sense of humor.

Jersey Shore Shirts

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

I overnighted myself the Guys Fist Pump T-shirt and the Tans & Hot Tubs & Fist pumps & house music & Blowouts & Hair Gel & Poofs v neck shirt, because I had to have them. Usually I can wait for our new shirts; but not these.

Here’s why: Last night I attended a fashion event in Washington DC for Luke’s Wings. The event was fantastic and money was raised for a great cause. The location reminded me of our Warehouse Party.

Anyways, I was wearing the Tans&Hot; Tubs& Fist Pumps& House Music& Blowouts& Hair Gel& Poofs V neck shirt. I’ve never been photographed so much before in my life. I felt like Paris Hilton. I empathize with her a little bit now. Paris, if your reading this, me and you, were not so different. Next time you’re in DC, hit me up.

Needless to say, you probably need one of our Guido List t-shirts or The Fist Pump T-shirts.

Crooked Monkey Cares: Bridesmaid Bar Crawl

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

We love supporting charities, especially local ones in DC. A friend of mine organized a bar crawl for Suited for Change, and we donated t-shirts as door prizes.

They ended up raising a nice amount of money for Suited for Change, and the participants “Loved the t-shirts.”

Sounds like a fun day: Drinking until you can’t walk, getting free t-shirts, and supporting a Washington DC charity. Sign me up.

Crooked Monkey Cares: Go Team Blonde!

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Five years ago, a group of girls had a vision. Blondes. Brunettes. Football. Charity.

Sounds like a recipe for success. And over the last five years, through their annual Team Blonde Vs. Brunette Fundraiser, they’ve raised over $100,000 for Alzheimer research. This year’s goal is to raise $100,000. (Support their efforts by donating here). The game is on November 14th in Washington DC.

To help them get to their magic number, Team Blonde (favored to win this year) asked us to create a t-shirt they could sell for charity. We delivered. The t-shirts debuted, to great fanfare, at their fundraiser at a new bar in Georgetown called, George. In just one night, they sold out of the Blonde T-shirts–these blondes can play football, raise money, sell t-shirts. What can’t they do?

If you want to buy a shirt (we’re reprinting the tees), email us and support their worthy cause.
