Happy Take-Candy-from-Strangers-Day Halloween everyone! In the spirit of the season and in keeping with Etsy week comes a gaggle of Republican presidential canidates Pacman Ghosts - spooky! Shirts start at the extremely affordable $14.99 and Etsy user nodemo has all sizes except medium available. Also, if the teal isn’t quite your idea of acceptable color coordination check out nodemo’s other items for the same designs in alternatively colored backgrounds.

What’s better than a robot tshirt? How about a cute robot t-shirt? That’s what we have here in this 2nd entry for our Etsy geek apparel search. User gerrijo has created a simple, yet iconic tribute to all things that initially seemed like a good idea but then later developed the programmatic capacity to kill. Cool!

The shirt is available for $20. Don’t like the Tee color? That’s the beauty of Etsy’s cabal of clever creators - gerrijo actually encourages you to contact him with special requests. Talk about service!

Today’s Etsy pick comes from the SnowConeCollective shop. Cleverly combining stylized versions of the items overwhelming any geek’s workspace, this shirt is simply awesome. The design is printed on American Apparel shirts (therefore they tend to run toward the small size) and is available for $18. Because, like much on Etsy, these shirts are hand made there are only a limited number available. If you want make sure to grab yours ASAP.

Some facts: (1) Halloween is next week. (2) You are looking for a costume that’s easy, yet a bit more clever than last year’s Michael-Arrington-blue-shirt-special. (3) You’ve got no A-list ideas of your own and are willing to flog a tech story that died several months ago and was really only of interest to incestuous press-types anyway.

The solution: Do a Valleywag and turn to Fake Steve Jobs! Or, in the costume’s case, the people at Indie Tech. They’ve got a Fake Steve Jobs TShirt for your blogsphere hack junkie/Mac acolyte. What’s even better is they’ve also got a black turtleneck version. The shirt is $15 and the turtleneck is $20. Reality distortion field not included.

This T-Shirt may have taken awhile to get to us (ThinkGeek (Affiliate Link, Non-Affiliate Link) via Gizmodo via Boing Boing Gadgets) but that doesn’t mean it is any worse for wear. Yes, that’s right: It lights up when in the presence of wifi signals. In full disclosure this is just the sort of thing that may get you arrested at airports in the US - but anywhere else it’s time to get the light bright on!

The shirt detects either ‘B’ or ‘G’ networks, runs for hours off three AAA batteries, and is $29.99. The mirror required to see updates for yourself is extra.

The guys over at TenBills.com were kind enough to let me know they’ve got a killer promotion going - use the code ‘FREETEEWITHTHREE’ and get a free shirt when you buy three at regular price. And let me be clear when I talk about regular price: I’m talking a eye, popping, wallet pleasing $10 a piece. Last time I checked I couldn’t event go to a movie solo (happens alot) without spending $10. And believe me, the stuff from TenBills is a whole lot more fun to wear than a popcorn bucket.

Take, for example, the fantastic robot design entitled ‘First Flight’ by Michael Phillips. It’s got some incredible detail, a bold/big image, and expresses the kind of euphoria that lead Johnny 5 to declare “I’m Alive!”. Even if you don’t pick this shirt, however, it’s hard to go wrong with Ten Bills. All shirts are exclusively design and sure to please. Remember, use FREETEEWITHTHREE on checkout and tell them the MilitantGeek sent you.

Alocoholics Chemistry geeks have it rough. While some examples do exist there just aren’t that many wearable examples for this unique addiction niche.

However, Threadless is trying to change that. This week they released their ‘Tasty Table’ TShirt. It cleverly rewrites the period table with all those things necessary for life as we know it (it starts with alcohol and ice and runs through vermouth). Guy’s tees start at $15 and are available in shirt and hoody styles. Pick one up for your favorite alcoholic chemist today.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not exactly a shutter bug. Sure, I’ve got an ok digital camera floating around but I don’t obsess about chronicling my every waking moment (who do I think I am? Justin?) However, I can appreciate a good camera homage when I see one. This great T-Shirt from Insanely Great Tees is the perfect walk-n-wear for the paparazzi in your life - or at least for the person who knows what those symbols mean.

All sizes priced at $17. Hat tip to Marc Perton for the sighting.

Every Monday Threadless releases their latest designs and every Tuesday my wallet finds itself a bit thinner. Their latest consumerist-behavior inducing product is Life on Graph Paper, a fanciful homage to those days when I had more homework than sense. Oh, the agony as I now realize I could have been creating pixelated creaters of mirth and wonder instead of plotting the first ten values of (sin x) / y!

Shirts start at $15. I’ve got two different ways of checking out this T. First, if you’d like to help a brother out, try the affiliate link. Or it that isn’t peachy keen then use the non affiliate link.
