My dad is a pretty good representative for his demographic. He’s late 50’s, works hard in a machine shop, doesn’t make a ton of cash, probably won’t retire anytime in the foreseeable future, concerned about the future of social security, wondering about the political and ecological environment for his kids and grandkids, worried about his healthcare insurance as he gets older. In general, based on all the jacked up stuff in the world these days, he’s pretty pissed off.In doing some market research, he found that there are a whole bunch of boomers that aren’t portrayed very well in the financial services commercials that play during televised sporting events. Unfortunately, most baby boomers aren’t playing golf everyday into their golden years. Most of them aren’t on yachts or painting in Paris. Most of them are working too hard for too little and they aren’t happy about it. Like the Clash said ’10 years working one machine is 10 times worse than prison’. They are looking over their shoulders to be sure that they aren’t going to get ‘retired’ or downsized due to their age. The baby boomers are pissed and as they start to look at their maturing 401K’s and pension funds they are finding that, due to their extended lifespan, they are going to come up a little light in the pocketbook,  and they are getting more pissed.Bob Schnaars has great little Schnaars-isms that his friends, a.k.a. drinking buddies, keep telling him that he should put on t-shirts. Well guess, what folks, that is what we spent the weekend doing. We created a small store on CafePress that should hopefully be growing over the next couple of weeks. The goal is to create t-shirts that appeal to the over 50 crowd of blue collar and accidental white collar workers that need a little voice. That want to tell the world that they are angry and don’t quite know what to say.I am sure that you know someone that falls into this category. A semi-disgruntled relative.  Think Randy Quaid in Vacation.  Not quite a curmudgeon, but getting there. These shirts make a great gift for those people. If you get weird Uncle Fred in the white elephant exchange, remember OldFartTees.com.  Or, if they know how to use a computer, point them in the direction of this store. It will be changing frequently, so come back often.Old Fart Tees.com
