Drop eggs on pigs?

So, I was bored and finally gave in and bought Angry Birds for my iPhone. You see, I never really knew what the game was about or what the point of it was or anything like that, but it's so popular that I gave in. It is doable for someone like me without quick hand-eye coordination (such as action games, racing games), but it is SO FRUSTRATING. Ok, I might just be bad at all games other than the Sims (by which I mean the whole family of Sims games), but still. I just finished level 2, I think, but it's more frustrating than it's worth, in my opinion. But I guess it's another option when I'm bored. Less intellectual than Scrabble, but ...a game.

Oh! The post title. In case you haven't played it, what you're essentially doing is using a slingshot to fire birds at pigs. No, really, I'm serious. One of the birds drops egg bombs (vs. actually shooting the birds directly at the objects protecting the pigs or at the pigs themselves). I kinda wonder about the creator of this game...but he/she/they (not sure which) is making bank, so a little crazy is allowed.

Also, they came out with a new line of Starbucks clothing. They have had Starbucks clothing before (did I ever tell you the story of my short time with my own Starbucks shirt? It was a super cool shirt that had the word "coffee" written on it in several different languages.  I bought it, and it arrived the day that we left for some sort of trip, and I took it into the car with me. Mistake #1. Then I took it out of the box and had it in my lap for whatever reason. Mistake #1. I think that when we went somewhere to get something for lunch I just got out of the car without thinking about the shirt on my lap and it fell out onto the parking lot, and it was late so I didn't notice it. I think that's what happened, because I never saw the shirt ever again), but they stopped selling them for a while. So I was on the website, and this is part of what I found:

So....I like the idea behind them and they are super creative. I like how you could totally spill coffee on the left shirt and not worry if it stained permanently because it would just go. But at some point I noticed the price: $85!!! There is no way on earth that I'd pay $85 for a shirt at all. Not at all. It was hard to spend approximately $30 on a super cute fashionable Disney princess shirt, so almost thrice that?!?! Well, we shall see how this does...
