Remember when Rich Stevens made that cool little 8-bit version of me, and dressed him in an 8-bit version of the infamous clown sweater?
Rich and I thought it would be mighty hilarious to take the 8-bit version of the infamous clown sweater, and put it on a soon-to-be-infamous T-shirt that you can have for your very own.
I think Rich is only offering them for a short time, and they’ll take a week or so to go from "OMG DO WANT" to "Hm. I wonder if anyone is going to get the reference?"
Anyway, as the subject line says, "at long last, your wait to own an 8-bit version of the infamous clown sweater has come to an end"
Yay!

VERY KEWL
A very meta product, Wil: a shirt based on an icon of you based on a photo of you in a clown shirt! I would suggest a caption below the face (appropriately bitmapped, of course), that reads “META SWEATA”
Id buy it 😛 In fact I may…although no one I know will get the humor…which could in itself be funny….heh.
As it just so happens, I need more t shirts (…really. Im serious!). I think Ill get it.
Well done, Wil.
You have officially become a cottage industry.
Want to not want to want to not want to want to…
[seg fault]
Heh. I ordered one earlier this afternoon. It shall be interesting to see if anyone else here in NJ catches the reference. 🙂
I am DEFINITELY getting one. Saw the post over on Diesel Sweeties before I saw it here!
And Wil? I hope people DON’T get the reference because then I know I am still part of our little secret club. And the people who DO get the reference? We should totally make a secret handshake.
MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Want (click) ordered (click) paid (click)… waiting. I’ll wear it up to the Phoenix Comicon!
I’m going to knit a sweater based on teh shirt FTW.
That shirt is an alembic full of alchemical goodness, transmuting lame into teh awesome!
That’s flippin’ sweet.
Ah, but the pleasure of owning such a bizarre and creepy t-shirt will last forever. In fact, I just bought mine.

Thanks, this is so best!
I was reading the FARK post (duly tagged “WHEATON” about someone who blogged the Wil Wheaton Top 10 after reading your “Just a Geek” book) They mentioned the infamous clown sweater, so I GIS’d it and laughed of course, re-read “the whole sordid story”, and then clicked on “Main” to read your recent post.
To my delight, here on the same day as a FARK WHEATON tag, the clown sweater graphic available in t-shirt form.
Bought and sold–completely awesome, I’m gettin’ two!
And for the fully recursive stalking experience, buy three! Put them on three people of different heights, and have them test blood splatter patterns to figure out whether the killer was a tall parent, a medium-height crazy homeless guy, or a short kid.
Yeah, WANT.
Interestingly enough, I’d just started playing Spectrum games on my emulator the other day, then this t-shirt appears. Maybe the FSM is trying to tell me that tape playing 48k computers, line graphics and limited colour palletes are the future.
I need to get my hands on the old Star Wars arcade game now. Damn nostalgia.
I’ve never bought a t-shirt online, mostly because I’m very picky about the way they feel and need to try them on first. But there is no WAY I can resist this one. Now my goal is to convince Wil to do an East Coast book tour so I can get the thing signed.
@Mama Gaea: We should totally come up with a secret handshake, wink, wave or something. Wil, what’s your input?

Oh yeah, that would be awesome.
I propose a Flickr group of the shirt in the wild.
I’ve put in a request to have Rich Stevens’ clone baby. My child will rule the world!
Have seen. Have purchased. Am a happy woman. Housemate also bought one. We both thank you 🙂
