Three Keyboard Cat Moon Update!
July 21, 2009
The internet has spoken, and it wants its Three Keyboard Cat Moon t-shirts like, yesterday. Luckily, Threadless was listening and the t-shirt is now available:
In a matter of days, it’s become Threadless’ highest score ever, most votes ever, and most “I’d Buy It’s” ever. This tee is so ridiculous and amazing that we’re printing it now before the end of our scoring period!
Go internets! Now I just hope this shirt will cover my girth.

The most amazing shirt ever has been submitted to Threadless, and if the sheer amount of comments are any indication, this shirt should be available on Threadless very soon.
Behold, Three Keyboard Cat Moon:
So why is this awesome?
To appreciate the genius of this t-shirt you should already be familiar with Keyboard Cat, but it also requires you to be aware of the Amazon phenomenon that is Three Wolf Moon.
At first glance it doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary. It probably reminds you of a socially awkward classmate that you sat next to in math class. (On an unrelated note, I used to sit behind a guy in grade 11 math class who rotated 5 Metallica shirts on a constant basis. I ended up keeping a chart of which shirts he wore on which days. My personal favourite was the cartoon one.)
But, something tipped this shirt over into internet memedom. The following review is arguably responsible for sales of this shirt to increase by 2300%, as well as spawning hundreds of other ironic reviews.
This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him.
I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.
Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.
And thus, Three Keyboard Cat Moon is born. Internet meme perfection, or near perfection, anyway. One suggestion has been echoed by many Threadless commenters:
“If only the cats were wearing 3 wolf moon shirts!”
