How to trick people into thinking you're good looking

It should go without saying that anyone who wears a Duds by Dudes shirt is automatically lumped into the category of being really really ridiculously good looking. But what about those impromptu costume parties? Or weddings where you are forced to wear other regalia and the attention will be solely on your face? That's scary! Don't worry though, the Dudes have got you covered with an extremely informative and helpful video on how to trick people into thinking you are really good looking ...even when you're not.

If you need help tricking people into thinking you're really good looking Duds by Dudes is here to help. Call us at 866-96-DUDES (38337), or friend us on Facebook. You can also write us an awesome review on Yelp!

Say hello to our little friend, Spike

A few changes are happening in the world of the Dudes. The biggest is that we are moving offices to a bigger and better location to enable bigger and better production for your shirts. Along with the change of scenery Duds by Dudes is going to be strategically arranging our new space using the art of Fung Shui. This includes; Putting our computers in the North or West area of the office to enhance our creativity, decorating the new space with a good balance of Ying & Yang, and surrounding ourselves with plenty of live foliage. The first new edition to our plant family is our pet Venus Flytrap. We have named him Spike.

Not only is Spike a BAMF all on his own but he is also going to be our primary insect eliminator. Forget those Orkin guys, we saw him swallow a live spider this morning! BAMF!

For specialized "I dont eat meat but my plant does" tote bags call Duds by Dudes at 866-96-DUDES (38337). Or you can friend us on Facebook or tweet us on Twitter.

Cautionary tales of the Duds by Dudes Three Wolf Moon shirt

Although this shirt is more awesome than Chuck Norris karate kicking through a wall made out of live crocodiles, (and we can beat any Amazon.com price) we feel obligated to warn any and all unsuspecting victims who think that any Duds by Dudes Three Moon Wolf shirt doesn't hold real power. Please heed the Duds by Dudes warning from a real live Duds customer, Edward Morton, about the infamous Duds by Dudes Three Wolf Moon shirt,

"My Duds by Dudes shirt arrived in the mail last week. When I got home from work I found the shirt had torn itself out of the packaging, destroyed my mail box, broke into my house, slept with my wife, kicked my dog, and mowed my yard. Now it will not let me in the house. I have been sleeping in my pickup parked at least six blocks away. It has been three days. I'm cold, tired, and hungry. I think people are beginning to stare at me. Passers-by go to the other side of the street now. I may be hallucinating but I think I saw a squirrel laughing at me this morning. I called Duds by Dudes who said their shirts are so powerful that they encounter this problem all the time and together we devised a plan to get me back into my house. I'm going to dress in a Santa suit and go in through the chimney. I have a high-intensity taser and enough tranquilizer darts to subdue a rhino. Hopefully the Santa suit confuses the Duds by Dudes Shirt long enough for me to get off a shot or two.

UPDATE 1: I awoke in my truck this afternoon with a dart sticking out of my leg. It must have gone off on accident while I was loading it.

UPDATE 2: I awoke this morning in a hospital bed. I'm not sure what happened. Everything was going according to plan. I was through the chimney and in the living room and now I'm in a hospital with three darts wounds in my chest. The Duds by Dudes Shirt must have gotten the drop on me somehow. It is very strong.

UPDATE 3: I spoke with the FBI this morning. They decided the best choice was for me to enter the witness protection program. I am giving up on seeing my dog or my wife ever again. There will be no further updates."

So beware Dudes and Dudettes, heed Edward Morton's cautionary tale and realize that the power and vigor of a Duds by Dudes shirt is not to be abused! However if used properly X-ray vision, mind control, and the ability to raise the dead could be yours by calling Duds by Dudes at 866-96-DUDES (38337). And don't worry, we got Ed back into his house after calling in the special forces.

It's Peanut Butter Jelly TIME!

Besides being downright brilliant the It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time video has inspired Duds by Dudes to slap a maraca wielding banana costumed Brian Griffin on a shirt. Now you can be reminded of the supreme "It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time" booty shake allllllllll daaaaaay looooooong. I mean whats to loose? We're flipping the on switch to this little video below and going for it right now!

Because the It's Peanut Butter Jelly time is cooler than a samurai sword wielding elf, annnnnd because the Dudes are in Vegas right now and left the Dudette alone in the office to fend for herself today (Don't worry, they'll get their comeuppance), we are going to delve further into the makings of this snack food infested video wonderment...

Appealing to snack food lovers and stoners alike this Internet phenomenon came to fruition after the Buckwheat Boyz released their self titled album. Iit's speculated that the song is referencing a car with a purple paint job, brown leather interior, and wood grain steering wheel & trim. The peanut butter is the brown leather interior, the jelly is the purple paint job, and the baseball bat is the wood grain steering wheel & trim. DJ Chipman continues to say "now there he go," and "where he at," throughout the song, referring to the person driving this car. So now that that's all cleared up here is a little ascii to get you in the mood for the next Duds by Dudes awesome t-shirt, in production now.

Doin' the No Pants Dance

Duds by Dudes was just informed from a very reliable source that on Sunday New York residents proudly participated in the ninth annual No-Pants Day on the city subway day. Men, women, children, drag queens, and midgets alike all dropped their pantaloons to reveal some somewhat interesting skivvies.



Why doesn't San Diego participate in an annual No-Pants Day? We're jealous. Duds by Dudes is seriously contemplating starting up a city wide Undy Run for charity, all clothes/ proceeds go to homeless shelters around the city. And the best part is it wouldn't be sub zero temperatures like those temperamental New York winters.

Awkward moments

Recently while trading stories around the water cooler the Dudette informed us that she had quite the awkward encounter over her mischevious NYE 2010 night. This got us to thinking about awkward moments. Now we have all had those floundering moments of blundering amnesia when we are forced into those "Heeeeeeey You" conversations where we can't seem to remember anything about the person we are talking to yet they seem to know everything about us from our plans for the weekend to our Mother's maiden name. Maybe you have also fallen victim to the classic mistake of showing up to a costume party in a corset and bunny ears only to find out that Priests and Prostitutes party is now just a regular Joe Shmo family BBQ, too bad Halloween is so far away. Perhaps there has been a facebook or texting mishap in your past similar to this unfortunately painful situation,


Yes, we've all fallen victim to the awkward moment. Although these are all highly bewildering and confusing situations we think that the Duds by Dudes Most Awkward Moment of 2009 Award goes to Jenny...

Pirates vs. Ninja

The Pirates vs. Ninja discussion goes back many years. It usually ends in tears and bloodshed from a throwing star or sward wound. So to set the record straight we at Duds by Dudes are going to settle the debate once and for all... Who would win in an epic battle to the death, Pirate or Ninja?We'll be fair judges, considering other overall factors than just the ability to kill in battle. Oh, and Ninja is the correct plural form of Ninja, according to the Japanese - where Ninja originated.

History

The Ninja prominently emerged in the 15th century. They served mostly as mercenary agents of espionage and as spies. Side jobs included those of assassin, terrorist, and other stealth activites. General sabotage and misdirection during battle were also telltale signs that a Ninja was nearby.However, thats about all we know about the secret assassin, appearing from the shadows and disappearing just as quickly - nary a wisp of air to know the Ninja was there.

On the other sword, Pirates have a great and storied history with many fantastical tales and stories surrounding the scurvy raiders of the sea. If a pirate enters a room, you’ll know it. No mystery surrounding that stench.

Piracy has been going on for centuries. There are written accounts going back as far as 1350 BC in ancient Egypt describing ships with no flags attacking other ships and plundering their goods. I mean the Vikings were essentially Pirates, except much larger and with better armor. The Golden Age of pirates ran from the late 1600’s to the mid 1700’s and includes fantstical characters such as Blackbeard and Barbarossa (not to be confused with the spiced rum). Yellowbeard may be just a wacky creation of Monty Python, but he is still a BAMF. Regardless, Pirates have a much more storied and colorful history than Ninja. Ninja history is shrouded in the darkness. This category goes to the Pirates. Ninja 0, Pirate 1

Training

Ninja training was more than just physical training, it was psychological. They had to train their minds as well as their bodies, if not more. Using methods of concentration such as Zen-Buddhism, Ninja were experts in concentration and perception. Training was intense and put the Ninja into direct conflict orientated situations. There were no practice rounds, the Ninja has to be in top physical form at all time, including a master of balance, stealth and all that gymnastics stuff for flipping and jumping off rooftops. The Ninja had to be a master of stress and conditioning, as well as being able to stand still for long periods of time without doing anything to give away his position.

The Pirate training manual? we're guessing looks something like this:

1. Show up. 2. Grab sword. 3. Drink, rape, pillage & plunder. 4. Pass out.

Besides training their livers to consume copious amounts of rum Ninja easily takes this category. Ninja 1, Pirate 1

Weaponry & Killing Style

Ninja were not short on weapons. Besides their hands and feet being deadly weapons, the Ninja had a virtual laundry list of other fun and sharp pointy things to use as killing objects. From swords, foot & knuckle spikes, throwing stars, whips, smoke bombs, batons, nunchucks and even utility belts. The Ninja was trained on the full and deadly usage of every single one of these weapons. Not to mention their stealthy and stain resistant Ninja garb. Usually black, but always with camouflage as top priority. The Ninja was always ready for battle and his senses were honed to handle any situation with the right weapon, even considering the mind as a weapon. Unless a Ninja was facing another Ninja or an army of Samurai, or Zombies, it was rare for the Ninja to engage in a bar room type brawl. The Ninja was a silent killer, a formidable enemy and that is why they were such effective killers.

If you were in a fight with a pirate, you’d know it. There’d be more than one of them, swords would be swinging around with reckless abandon and the smell of gunpowder would tinge the air. The slight advantage that Pirates have over Ninja comes in the form of the flint lock powder rifle or pistol. the Pirate’s ability to become effective killers multiplied tenfold when guns came into the picture. That went right back down when you took into account things like lack of training and sobriety. However, many pirates did train in swordplay and firing weapons, so they weren’t incompetent. Not to mention pirates had the advantage of being on a moving ship where kills can came from cannon fire and merciless killing after surrender. Pirates fought dirty, that fact is well known. There was no code of ethics when it came to engaging the enemy and killing them.

This category goes to the Ninja as the Ninja was a more effective killer with a multitude of awesome weaponry, and even if faced against a Pirate ship full of sailors, cannons and guns, one Ninja would kill them all while they slept. Ninja 2, Pirates 1

Pop Culture

How many Ninja movies have you watched lately? Our guess is not many. While there are plenty of Ninja movies that have been released over the years, such as Zombie vs. Ninja, the Samurai have gotten the red carpet treatment as far as mainstream movies. As far as films go though the discussion ends with the recent Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Also we can't forget about The Pirates of Penzance musical which in addition to being a kick ass musical is mentioned in mainstream films such as Pretty Woman. Then there is national Talk Like a Pirate Day where you can unleash your inner buckaneer every September 19th.

In other media Ninja have influenced some of the best comic characters, just look at Batman's awesome weaponry and stealth Ninja like qualities.

When it comes down to it though, we have to go with LEGO being the final word. Pirates have been a staple of the LEGO universe for years and LEGO easily outweighs Snake Eyes as being high on the list of pop culture items in the universe. Pirates take this category. Pirate 2, Ninja 2

Conclusion

Well, final tally is Pirate + 2, Ninja + 2. Tied! While it is true that the Ninja is a much superior agent of chaos the Pirate lifestyle focusing on plundering pillaging and drinking just sounds like more fun. The Ninja handles each mission as its own and then silently moves onto the next with nary a thought to anything beyond while Pirate shenanigans relies on team work. Ninja have been rumored throughout history as having taken down rulers with espionage and spying, while Pirates have been known throughout history for wreaking havoc and terror on the seas. It was a close one folks, I can say that.

Clearly, a lot was left out (like Captain Morgan rum, Pirate Lexicon, wenches & Killer Coding Ninja Monkeys to name a few) But Duds by Dudes is always open to new categories being brought to the table to settle this debate once and for all.

Southern Fried Stud Bucket!

According to Mental Floss, Captain Morgan isn't just a fictitiously inebriated person after all. He was actually a Welsh pirate who later became the lieutenant governor of Jamaica.

This got us to thinking, what other "fictitious" characters could be running around incognito? Could Sailor Jerry be chugging happy hour Jäger bombs at Boathouse in Point Loma? Does Bart Simpson do ollies on the boardwalk and steal street signs in PB?

Fortunately we had a run in with one of these so called "fictitious personalities," glimpsing none other than the Colonel. That's right, Colonel Sanders was caught playing volleyball in jorts, Top Gun style down at the beach in PB by our very own Dudette

Playin with the boys!

And while The Dudette did get some free body shots out of the encounter (alcoholic or sports related? You decide), we hear from a very reliable source that the Colonel has ulterior motives...

So as you can see, these "fictitious characters" aren't fooling anyone. We're onto you!

Want a picture of the beefcake colonel plastered on your chest? Call Duds by Dudes at 866-96-DUDES (38337), or find us on Facebook or Twitter.

Whats going on here?

At Duds by Dudes we dudes and one dudette have a killer job, which is printing your artwork on T-shirts (and other awesome and useful products such as Lollipops, Slap bracelets, Towels, calendars, Tote Bags, Coffee Mugs, Piggy Banks, Koozies, Mouse Pads, shot glasses, etc) so you can walk around town wearing the coolest threads. Now this may sound simple to you, but let me walk you through one of our normally harrowing days so you might understand the complexities in producing these awesome duds.

We like to start the day off with a some java. This operation is fueled by a lot of caffeine, which fortunately inspires us with awesome ideas, such as putting a fog machine in our bosses office while he is out for the morning and patiently waiting for his return to the fog lair. Next we spend a couple hours vectorize your awesome artwork so we can give it over to our silk screen guy to burn onto the screens and squeegee onto the shirts. Wanna see how that's done? Click here! Now its lunch time, which is a very important because we acquire the necessary tools for our post-lunch food fight. Flying biscuits and hot sauce packets were this weeks weapons of choice. After the afternoon java jolt we do some more artwork. We check up on the afternoon events of Facebook and Twitter. We also chat about diverse worldly topics such as Thailand's full moon party, the perfect knee bend and arc position for throwing a ping pong ball into a red plastic cup, Chuck Palahniuk the author of Fight Club, the ultimate Cheeto shape, San Diego's surf report, DJing and local bands, UCSD's personals section of The Koala, and roller hockey, while humming the Cheech and Chong's Mexican Americans song during conversational lulls. This is all considered creative inspiration for making rad artwork.

So you see we keep very busy at work. If you would like to have a shirt made up call 866-96-DUDES (38337) or check us on Facebook and Twitter,
