This is my Penny Arcade "got wang?" T-shirt. I've now had this shirt for ten years. In that time I've received my license, lived in three different states, graduated high school, graduated from Penn State after attending 2 other universities before that, worked 5 different jobs, become an uncle 9 times over (4 sisters), seen the fall of the dreamcast, the rise of the playstation 2, X-box, gamecube, playstation 3, wii, xbox 360, lived through the launch of World of Warcraft, seen video games take a very unexpected dynamic turn, and read roughly 1560 Penny-Arcade comics. This T-shirt has seen me through every one of these events. And the times I wear this shirt, it still gets me more comments/compliments than any other t-shirt in my arsenal.
As you may be able to tell, the poor thing is frazzled, frayed, and showing the many miles that have been put on it. I'm posting this to present the idea of a possible "Vintage", "Throwback", or "Nostalgia" Penny-Arcade merchandise store. I can't help but think that I couldn't possibly be the only reader from way back in the day that would be willing to pay for a classic Penny-Arcade T-shirt. And with the implementation of PATV, it'd be pretty great to see Mike or Jerry wearing one of their vintage designs for a fourth panel run.
I kicked around the possibility of E-mailing Kiko or Erica, but thought it best to just post this hear to see how the feedback would go. My apologies if the idea's already been presented and squashed before.

And thanks for the feedback mcdermott.
One of my favorite PA items is the blanket they sold back when the store was part of Think Geek. It's held up over the years, but it makes me sad that when it does start to fall apart it can never be replaced.
I recently bought the Binary Blanket from Think Geek as well because it's basically the same as the old PA blanket with a different pattern, and it's 50% off for $20.
It's no PA blanket, but it's basically the same if you have your eyes closed. Which is, needless to say, apt to happen when you are under blankets.
