Mbibtyb Long Sleeve T-Shirts

Ever noticed how some people like to wear university sweatshirts? Well, here's one that everyone can wear, including you – it's the university of life, and you're a graduate! Now available in full colour! (By the way, in case your degree didn't cover Latin... that fancy motto just means "understanding comes from experience".)

This one goes out to all the people on the other side of the glass partition. We know that producers, mixers and sound engineers make music just as much as singers and musicians do. So, whether you remember the glory days of two-inch tape, or you do everything on your MacBook Pro... if you know your talkback from your crosstalk, if you know when to insert and when to send, then you can wear this t-shirt with pride. You rock :-)

Ever noticed how some people like to wear university sweatshirts? And often, it's not even a university they've been to! What's that all about? Well, here's one that you can wear in good faith – it's the university of life, and you're a graduate! (By the way, if you didn't study Latin at the University of Life - and a surprising number of people didn't - that fancy motto just means "understanding comes from experience".)

I bet you thought that, here at MBiBtYB, we were too cool to do a Christmas jumper? Well, to be honest, so did we. But then we got to thinking about how much some of you love a Christmas jumper, and we changed our minds. So here it is – hand-knitted from pure Norwegian reindeer wool, with a twist of our trademark deadpan humour. Compliments of the season!

Have you ever thought about the fact that brands used to be for marking slaves and cattle - and maybe criminals? Isn't it strange how, these days, we pay to be wear brands on our clothes? Not quite the same, of course - no one's coming at you with a red-hot branding iron in the sportswear department, thank goodness - but still... Something to think about?

Black's a great colour: it's classically cool, it goes with everything and it's very slimming. But you can't just wear black all of the time. Sometimes, you've got that little sunshine burning in your heart and you need to brighten it up... with some grey. So come on – show everyone how happy you are by wearing your Happy t-shirt. [Also available in white, for people with poor eyesight]

Ah, competitive sport... what could be more noble? Athletes in peak physical condition, straining their mental and physical capabilities to the limit and beyond, pitting their skill and strength against one another with glory or defeat at stake, but all in a spirit of fair play and sportsmanship...... Oh, and the baiting. Yeah, don't forget the baiting...

Here at MBiBtYB, we're fairly keen on trees. Not so much on bombs. We do like going for a walk in the woods. Getting blown up - not quite as nice. So here's the lesson in a nutshell (no pun intended): plant trees, not bombs. :)

Feel the power of the badminton: stare at this design and it will make your eyes hurt! (Although, to be fair, so will a shuttlecock in the eye.) Wear this when playing, and it will make you invincible! Wear it when not playing, and it will make you irresistible! There is nothing the magic power of badminton cannot do!

There are lots of jokes about drummers, but we're not going to repeat them here. Despite what people say, we believe that drummers are real musicians too. And so, for the drummer in your life, here's the perfect tshirt. (And yes, drummers: if the drummer in your life is you, then go ahead and get it for yourself!)

You know what? All those brands have got such fancy cool logos, with their swooshes and their stripes and their special curly writing. I mean, any one of them's going to make you look way more attractive, right? So we thought, how could you be any cooler than that? And the answer is, you could be too cool for any logo at all... Ah - you're welcome :)

Make 'em think with this puzzle print t-shirt. If you like word games and mental challenges then give everyone a clue. But only a clue, mind: it's no fun if you give the answer away. And if you can't think of the answer, you could always ask somebody. Imagine that: a t-shirt that can be used as an icebreaker!

Here's the t-shirt to make you stand out from the crowd. Most t-shirts only go up to ten. This one goes up to eleven. That's one louder – see? (Did we mention that these go up to eleven?)

Christmas time: mistletoe and wine, dreadful songs drive you out of your mind… but man, people will so insist you have to enjoy it. If you absolutely can't get out of wearing a Christmas jumper, make sure it's this one: holiday cheer up top, with the real message more subtly underneath. Because we both know it's the most wonderful time of the year... from January to November!

Who's to say what normal really is, right? (Well, maybe Gauss, but besides him?) ((Well, there's a formula too, but that's not the point.)) Anyway, assert your right to be normal with this cool, geek-chic print!

Hey, average is nothing to be ashamed of! Average is just fine. Average is - well, it's not exactly good, but it certainly isn't bad! If great is a big ask and excellent's hard work, if outstanding just stands out too much and extraordinary is frankly unlikely, then let's just stick with average. After all, that's where all the normal people hang out. [Also available in a darker version, for pale-coloured shirts.]

You know what they say - If a job's worth doing, it'll still be worth doing tomorrow. And if it's not worth doing tomorrow, you'll have saved yourself the bother. Some call it procrastination - others call it "just in time" prioritisation. If you're the mañana kind - or you know someone else who is - treat yourself (or them) to this t-shirt. Just don't put it off!

Never underestimate the power of Stupid, for Stupid is both creative and persistent. Stupid comes in many forms, but it's not to be taken lightly. If you think something's foolproof, you're underestimating fools: they'll try something you would never dream of, and they'll keep right on trying even when it's obviously making things worse. All you can do is keep reminding yourself: Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid!

According to the MBiBtYB dictionary, WTF? stands for "What the Dickens?". I guess the F must be a typo, kids. Honestly, can't people spell these days?

Funcdose. Of course, everyone needs a dose of func, right? Confused? Exactly. Or rather, exactly not. If you see what I mean. If you don't see what I mean, try following the arrows... Rearrange the letters... If you like it, wear it. If you still can't get it, just meditate for a while on how confused you are. We promise, it will come to you!

OK, so it's not the fanciest t-shirt in the shop. But that's OK. Maybe OK is your favourite word. Maybe OK is how you're feeling. Maybe you just want a general-purpose t-shirt that answers any question you're asked. Any or none of those reasons is OK. OK?

Yes, so are we - laughing our silly little heads off. But why is it not "LMHO", then? Apparently, back in the olden days when the internet was first invented, there was a worry that "LMHO" would get confused with "IMHO" - which, as everyone knows, means "In My Humble Opinion". Lower-case "L" and upper-case "I" can look the same in some fonts, so the standards people got involved and decreed that "IMHO" got there first, and "LMHO" would have to change. Why they chose the "A", nobody knows - according to rumour, it stands for "Laughing My ANSI-standard head Off". Honestly, what are they like...

There's a place in music for the very delicate sounds that the listener has to strain to hear; the subtle tones on the very threshold of hearing. But that's someone else's job. Your job is to do loud: very, very loud music that everyone can hear, whether they want to or not. That's an important skill. Take pride in it. Be loud and proud. Wear this shirt.

Who is STAN? You are STAN. I am STAN. Anyone can be STAN. If you've had enough of acronyms and abbreviations, it's time to STANd up and be counted. Together, we are STAN.

One for the happy astronomers out there. A beautiful full moon and a cute little elephant. What more can we say?

Here at MBiBtYB, we love tennis. Lots of people love tennis. So where are all the tennis t-shirts at? Well, here's one to start you off... you're welcome!

According to the MBiBtYB dictionary, WTF? stands for "What the Dickens?". I guess the F must be a typo, kids. Honestly, can't people spell these days?

Who's to say what normal really is, right? (Well, maybe Gauss, but besides him?) ((Well, there's a formula too, but that's not the point.)) Anyway, assert your right to be normal with this cool, geek-chic print! For pale t-shirts, look for our alternative version...

The MbiBtYB dictionary explains the meaning of "CBA": "Can't Be Bothered". Yeah, we know that Bothered doesn't start with an "A". It's a mystery to us, too...

To help with your music theory, here are some examples of key signatures. This is genuine *FACT*, all totally reliable and trustworthy information!

SOTBO - it's the word to use when someone's stating the b******* obvious. If you can't stand people moving their mouths without engaging their minds... if the sheer mundanity makes you want to blow your head off, then stop! Put down the gun and wear this t-shirt instead. It's much less messy. Also available as a long-sleeve or sweatshirt - but we recommend the short sleeves if you're struggling to keep your cool among the fools.

You have to have a cool logo. Of course you do. Everyone has to have a cool logo. It's the most important thing there is. Doesn't really matter which cool logo, just so long as it's a cool cool logo. So, uh... insert one here. :-P

You're so cool you're beyond cool. In fact, you're beyond even that. If you were any cooler, people would be using you to keep their fish fingers fresh. You and cool go way back to the days before cool was even a thing. You probably ought to let people know, right? Just in case they think they're as cool as you...

Acronyms everywhere, they're driving us mad! To Hell with them! Chuck 'em in the pit! Trouble is, they've got everywhere and they've infested everything. It's going to be the devil's own job to weed them all out. Well, at least make a start by rocking this attention-grabbing design. Do it for our children and our children's children... do it for the sake of humanity.

For all our German-speaking customers, Hallo! Wie geht's? For all our other customers, welcome to sophisticated slacking. Everyone knows about the mañana culture, but even those hardworking Germans do a bit of procrastination sometimes. Wahrscheinlich Morgen has a great sound, and it looks great too. What does it mean? Probably tomorrow...

Black's a great colour: it's classically cool, it goes with everything and it's very slimming. But you can't just wear black all of the time. Sometimes, your heart is so overflowing with joy that you just have to let everyone know. When that time comes, put on this - your Happy t-shirt. [Also available in grey. In case you don't want to shout it TOO loud]
