Christmas has come early for Crooked Monkey. Nine days early. Today we shipped a record number of online orders, making sure that you guys will be able to give your t-shirts on time this holiday season. The most fun part of holiday shipping, is the gift-messages we get to write on behalf of our customers.

Its a fun exercise, as we hand write each letter, but are not allowed to correct or even question the messages posted. Most of the stuff is composed of indecipherable inside jokes, replete with LOLs and OMGs. And usually its just wishing someone a happy Kwanza or Ramadan.

But today we got an interesting one. The t-shirt purchased was Dead Man Walking, and the gift card read: "Will U plz marry me, ring 2 follow."

A bit impersonal, but we're happy to help in anyway we can. Sometimes, a t-shirt making fun of marriage is the best way to get someone to marry you. Playing hard to get--even up until the last second. I admire that.

It's not everyday that our employees earn the title of Beast Mode. Today Dillon and Erik packed more box in one day than most people see in a lifetime. They shipped out 45 packages; 3 short of our all time record, but still worthy of beast mode.

Shipping out funny t-shirts is not easy. They are packed with great care and a unique amount of love. Each package comes with awesome t-shirts, candy, and stickers.

The picture is of Dillon and Erik. Dillon's the one that is shorter than the boxes he packed.

As some of you may know, Crooked Monkey ships lots of funny t-shirts to lots of boutiques. When said store owner opens the box, they are in store for a ton of goodies: banana candy, stickers, and the most hilarious shirts known to man.

Today was somewhat of a record--as we shipped 45 boxes (not including the slew of online orders that we also shipped). Everyone at the office did a fantastic job getting all the orders out.

For the last couple of weeks, we have been dealing with a printer in LA who totally screwed us over and refused to ship out our shirts. As a result, lots of people have been forced to go without Crooked Monkey t-shirts for quite some time now. What a shanda.
Well, we finally got shirts in stock today and we were determined to ship out as much as humanly possible. We apologize to everyone who waited so patiently for their orders. But we are now officially back up and running. So now we can get back to doing what we do best: providing people with the coolest shirts on the planet.

Anyone living in LA that would like to give this guy a piece of your mind, let us know and we'll gladly give you his phone number and address.
