I tried to make an alphabetical guts placemat for my two-year-old son, hoping to include every organ and gland we have around here. I got stuck after a while, though, once it dawned on me that spleen, sebaceous, stomach, sweat gland and salivary glands were going to make it very difficult to place all those guts. So I just made a placemat of of all the guts, alphabet be damned. I’ll letcha know how much information he actually absorbs as he flings food all over it.

Does your Wii remote feel like an extension of your arm? Apparently artist Angela Moramarco thinks her console is more than justa hunk of plastic and has re-imagined it as a living, (breathing? I think I see lungs…), gut-filled creature. Absolutely awesome. {via NotCot. Thanks, Julie!}
Matters of the Heart
Posted: Monday, May 4th, 2009
We had tons of fun at last weekend’s Unique Los Angeles show, a shopping extravaganza that shows off the creative and crafty wonders of Los Angeles and beyond. One woman, who’d had open heart surgery as a child, bought a heart tee for her mom, who tried to watch the surgery on her daughter. After anaesthesia, the doctors took a saw to this little girl’s chest and mom promptly fainted. Lots of folks got Heart of Gold pins for mom, a few uteruses, too — even a mother’s day gall bladder! As usual, we just had fun meeting people and chatting. Our Black Heart got a mention from the wonderful folks over at Cool Hunting, who had eyes at the show. Woo hoo!
Liver 'n Onions

Yum, yum, yum, this liver likes fried onions! Be sure to check out the I Heart Guts Flickr page for more fun photos from our amazing and hilarious customers (Tequila&Donuts took this snap), plus cool photos of other people’s guts graphics, innard tees and other organ offal. If you’ve got guts photos, send ‘em our way, or upload them to our Facebook photos.
Here’s another great one — a thoracic cavity cake!
Spleen-less Suffering
Posted: Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
What is this thing? Why, it’s a spiky, gold-plated, hand-held vibrator that claims to rengenerate your organs! So if you’re missing, say, your gallbladder, the Guardian Angel is the tool for you. The Inquisitr blog pointed out one of several funny reviews of it from Amazon.com, including this gem: “Since losing my spleen in a shocking harpsichord-related accident, I have been searching for a product that would re-generate my lost organ. Imagine my delight when I stumbled upon the Guardian Angel… Tears of joy ran down my face when I read in the Product Features that it would also relieve stress, fatigue and insomnia – all conditions suffered by the spleen-less.” We figure they are talking about organ regeneration in the acupuncture sense of organs, but it’s still funny. And at $149, cheaper than the going rate for a transplant.

Things were so fun around the show, I forgot to tell you about the fun we had in our booth! One woman, an M.D., was checking out the glands and remarked of the testicle, “He looks like he has kind of an epidydimis combover.” Hilarious. A midwife-in-training popped by our booth to get some Womb Service tees, and her friend said, all of a sudden, “I have two uteruses. And two cervixes!” So we spent the next five minutes wondering if she could have two pregnancies and two different times, what about two periods? Fascinating. Can you imagine? It turns out that , yes you can have two separate pregnancies in two uteruses. I also got a chance to meet Katrina, who blogs about tees on T-shirts Around the Internet, she was super nice, and it was great to meet her in person!
Does That Nurse Look Slightly Devilish To You?

Granted, they’re only happy because they’ve got a smile painted onto their plastic faces, but they’re nonetheless thrilled to be recouperating in Playmobil Hospital. I remember loving the older, crapper version back in the 80s, and if you’re like me, you’ll be impressed by how much better the new one is. We’re talking mini-defibrillators, an elevator, medical charts and all kinds of other stuff. Hopefully someone will hack it and make things a little more gory, kind of like this.

I am powerless to resist the charms of this adorable gutsy tee by escapism on Threadless.
Eat Your Guts
Posted: Tuesday, November 25th, 2008
Thanksgiving is upon us, and since it’s the season for gluttony, why not eat your own innards? Street Anatomy has a couple of fantabulous ways to gross out your holiday tables — from severed head bread (warning, this is really gross) to skull potatoes. Hmm, maybe these are better suited for Halloween. I guess it depends on your family and friends.
I See Right Through You

Anyone out there remember Slim Goodbody? The guy in the organ-coated unitard? He told us 80s kids all about the wonders of our bodies while chatting with robots (seriously, what 80s show was without a robot friend?) wearing an organ-coated unitard and a nice little fro-perm. I’ll admit, something about a man dressed in a flesh-and-guts unitard always kinda gave me the creeps, but Slim was definitely a memorable character — I think he was on Captain Kangaroo. Believe it or not, Slim is still taking his message of health and fitness to classrooms all over the country (now without the perm). Their color and learn tee is pretty fresh, check out the snap of Goodbody with a gang of kids all wearing their own hand-colored guts tees.
