Throwdown #6 - The Four Banger!

Early on, Throwdown #5 looked like a pretty even match... but in the end, Keep Up the Good Work ran away with it, receiving twice as many votes as Camel Love. So for the next week you can keep up your own good work for only $12.50.

But now - Throwdown #6! We upped the ante on this one, introducing four new shirts! It's every shirt for itself in this four-banger throwdown - Oklahoma Redux vs. Computadoras vs. On Second Thought vs. Thumb War. Check them out and cast your vote below...

VV on Flight of the Conchords

Oh Pretty Prince of Parties, where do you get your clothes?

They're made of snow! Pretty party clothes crocheted of snow!

If you're unfamiliar with FOTC, watch this video. Then watch this video. This one is also great. Hell, just watch them all.

i learned that jenna does not rhyme with banana

That a bad sense of balance and tall trees don't mix.

Girls should not have myspace accounts, they cause too much drama

Ketchup was sold in the 1830's as medicine!
