Beardo Contest
We are teaming up with Beardo for a sweet contest to win free stuff, so get pumped! For those of you who don’t know, Beardo is a company that makes beanie hats with scruffy, knitted, badass beards/mustaches attached to them, plus lots of other facial hair-inspired products. We’re giving away one beardo (a $39.99 value) to the first place winner and a 6-pack of colored bottle mustaches (a $10.99 value) to the second place winner!
Here’s how you enter:
1. First “like” Beardowear and 6dollarshirts on Facebook (if you don’t have one, get one!)
2. Next, tell your Facebook friends about this contest by mentioning Beardowear AND 6dollarshirts in your status (for those of you uneducated in the tagging friends feature on Facebook, you simply type in @Beardowear & @6 dollar shirts) this will not work, however, unless you LIKE these pages first.
3. Now create the most epic beard/mustache combo you possibly can (does not have to be self-grown or made out of hair for that matter), take pictures of your genius creations & post them on 6dollarshirt’s facebook wall
4. Remember to complete ALL the steps in order to be eligible to win! Winners will be announced on Friday. Good luck!

Comments Contest Winner
The winner of the comments contest submitted not only one amazeballs comment, but four whole charming and delicately constructed comments.
It’s not only the clever tone & wit that exudes in his masterful writing, but also the sheer hardwork and dedication evident in his persistance and perfect form that snagged this guy a $25 gift certificate to 6dollarshirts.com.
Congratulations, Brian “You Damn Right” Cone, for being hilariously disturbing in your writing and extremely fashion-savvy in your clothing choices.
All of his comments were awesome, but this is the one that really sealed the deal:
The other day I answered all questions by reciting phrases and/or describing designs from your tees. Example, The Department of Education: “Mr. Cone, you still owe $32,000 on your student loans.” Me: “JESUS WITH A MARTINI!!!”
Here are his other contributions:
“6 Dollar Shirts ruined my marriage… i.e. YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!! i OWE YOU EVERYTHING!… Cept she got it all in the divorce, minus meh tees…. THANKS 6 DOLLAR TEES!!! *Holds up a pack of Mentos*”
I once paid a hooker with 6 Dollar Tees… Then, when I was finished, I stabbed her so I could get my tees backs… Don’t worry, she wasn’t wearing any of them when I stabbed her.
If I were a shirt designer, I would pass on the $600 prize and take a $600 dollar credit instead… I would kill for you guys too.
Keep up the good work, Brian “you damn right” Cone. We appreciate you.

Comments Contest
Fact: Our Customers Say The Darndest Things
We not only want to share their cunning wit and “humorousity” with the world, but we also want to reward them for being awesome. So here’s the deal, all you have to do is express your opinion/love/hate/deepest, darkest secrets/novel/masterpiece/Haiku/creative genius/you name it in the comments on this blog.
You can comment on the post of your choice, or every post if you’d like. It doesn’t matter, we want to read them all – the juicier the better.
On Friday the 6dollarshirts staff will review all the comments on the blog from this week and choose the Darndest one. The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to 6dollarshirts.com (and perhaps some Jell-O pudding pops).
In the mean time, here are some of the darndest things our customers have said in the past:
- “… and then realised I couldn’t afford it because I’ve spent all my money on less important things, like food and rent etc. So instead I placed a smaller order, though it was hard trying to decide which ones NOT to buy. Even I, as a godless limey atheist, know that a t-shirt featuring JC on a dinosaur transcends all other priorities.’
-Mark in Sheffield, Great Britian
- “I will never forget the time I intentionally overdrafted my bank account to buy 30 of your shirts. I’m back for about 10 more now.I love you guys.” -Rob in Quebec, Canada
- “While my mom prays to her Jesus Christ God dudes I pray that 6dollarshirts.com never ceases to exist. She’s such an idiot!” -Jaime in Tampa, FL
- “I bought one of your shirts and now my dog and cat won’t stop humping my legs. Do you guys sell pants too? All of mine have been ruined.” -Mark in Pasadena, California
- “It’s a pleasure to do business with a company that takes it’s humor seriously and takes its seriousness humorousitly. ly.” -Michael in Cambridge, MA
- “Of all the vices to blow my kids child support money on, your T-shirts are by far my favorite. Well except for maybe huffing model airplane fuel. Thanks for the laughs.” -Carl in Truth or Consequences, NM
Good luck!
Canada Post Strike/Lockout Update
Exciting news from our USPS Representative regarding shipping to Canada:
Canadian Postal Employees Back-To- Work Tonight: USPS To Begin Accepting Mail Destined For Canada Tomorrow. Back-To-Work Legislation was passed by the Canadian Government late Sunday night. Canadian Postal employees will be back on the job beginning tonight at 8:30 p.m. The USPS will begin accepting mail for Canada first thing tomorrow, June 28th, 2011.
Mail being held in our network since the lockout began is now being released and transported into Canada. Please inform customers that due to the large volumes of mail being held by countries around the world during the lockout, they may experience slightly longer transit times. We expect that to ease as delivery in Canada returns to normal. We are continuing to work closely with the Canadian Postal Service to help minimize these delays as much as possible.
Be sure to thank our loyal customers for using the Postal Service, and thank you for continuing to keep our customers informed throughout the recent Canada Post situation.
Awesome News! Now that we’re talking about Canada, this reminds me of this old Canadian joke I heard long long ago:
- Why did the Canadian cross the road?
- To pick up his 6 Dollar Shirts from the mailbox!
We also want you to practice precautions while waiting on the arrival of
your order. Please Keep this in mind: Strange, unexplainable things will
happen when you wear our shirts. You will no longer feel the urge to rob
old ladies. If you’re bald, your hair will grow back. Random members of
the opposite sex will come up to you and start “grinding ‘dat ass”. Most
importantly, your friends and family will start laughing with you instead
of at you. I hate it when that happens.
Love Always,
-Mr. Byron
Ode to Juggy
A little Juggy Montage just in time for the Fourth of July:
Rescue Bird Society
Yesterday, while the 6dollarshirts staff was hard at work creating super-awesome t-shirts, a little baby bird was in grave danger.
This little guy was found right outside the office on the ground, so after throwing on some fabulous pink gloves, Mission: Rescue Bird was commenced.
The nest was located in a nearby tree, where the little tyke was returned to its home.
The rescue team even watched as the Mama Bird reunited with her little one. Yay for happy endings!
Canada Post Strike
As many of you already know, a massive postal workers’ strike in Canada, which started early this month, has caused the U.S. Postal Service to temporarily stop delivering pieces of mail destined for Canadian addresses, as they expect the strike will continue throughout the week.
This strike is affecting all aspects of Canada, especially small businesses that rely on the post to deliver their products (think newspapers), but over here in Gainesville, FL we’re extremely disappointed to say that our awesome 6dollarshirts customers from Canada will be affected as well.
We just want to let you all know that we are working very hard to find an alternative method of delivering your shirts to you, and as soon as the plan is definite, we will make a formal announcement. We are so sorry to keep you waiting on your shirts, and if we could we would absolutely take the bus on a road trip to all your houses right now to bring them to you ourselves.
In the meantime, just know that we love you all a lot, and we will get this all figured out as soon as we possibly can. We will be contacting each Canadian customer individually, so watch your inbox. Thanks for sticking with us!
