TruffleShuffle Talks With The Raccoons Creater Kevin Gillis + New Tees + COMPETITION
This is the TruffleShuffle blog, quiet, peaceful, serene... that is until our new The Raccoons TShirts and COMPETITION wakes up! Yaaaahoooooo!
Luckily, we have a good friend to help us out in the form of The Raccoons creator Kevin Gillis!
Like busy little Raccoons ourselves, we've been hard at work with Kevin to create some all new and exclusive Raccoons T-Shirts which are now on the site! We have one new design which has been lovingly screen printed onto four styles and colours including grey & white tees, blue vest and a grey baseball raglan TShirt!
To celebrate our latest arrivals in style and give you guys a little glimpse into the world behind The Raccoons, we stole Kevin away and threw some questions at him (don't worry we were gentle). Take a look below to see what we found out from the man himself....
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 242
Holy smokes Batman! Another retro movie weekend is here and boy are we excited!
Kicking down the door of our local Blockbusters (metaphorically), we find ourselves faced with a entire plethora of awesome retro movies just waiting to be released and enjoyed. Walking the isles, we gaze across the start-studded covers with all their promise or action, romance and of course some cracking one liners. After carefully selecting our weekend fill, we'll slam our membership card on the desk before smoothly walking away in what felt like slow motion and through the fog. We will be back...
Have a happy retro weekend!

13 things you (probably) didn't know about TruffleShuffle!
13 years ago this very month we took to the interwebs and registered the weird and wonderful domain name TruffleShuffle.co.uk & we were officially born! To mark this super special occasion, we thought we would take a little walk down memory lane and give you our top 13 memorable moments at here at TruffleShuffle. Hopefully you'll learn a little something about who we are, where we've come from and where we're heading. Let's go!
1. MAY 2004
We sold our very first t-shirt on the mighty (old looking) eBay. With the money from this sale, we scurried online and purchased the domain name truffleshuffle.co.uk. Why TruffleShuffle? It's retro, it's cool and we LOVE the Goonies?!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 241
Bluebells and sunny spells! Another retro movie weekend is here which means.... time for some retro movie goodness!
Setting sail into the vast infinity of the deep blue sea, we find ourselves at the simple beginnings of what could quite be the journey of a lifetime. With ration sacks bulging and water receptacles sealed and tight, we slowly begin to drift away from the certainty of the land as we aim our craft into the unknown to take on all that may lay before us. Will we find old and forgotten lands? Will we just end up going in a circle and end up where we began? Let's find out!
Have a happy retro weekend!

Baywatch is Back! Our Top Reasons Baywatch Was A Complete Classic (and some things you might not know…)
Swimsuits at the ready! The new Baywatch movie hits our screens at the end of the month and we actually.can't.wait. Starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zac Efron, it's sure to be hilarious, tongue-in-cheek and slightly ridiculous (obvs).
In the meantime, we thought we'd take a look at what made the oh-so-cheesy 80's mega-hit show so darn great - from the running scenes to the one-liners, along with a few fab facts even the biggest fan might not knowâ¦
ALL the Slow Mo Running
Ah, that famous running along the beach, as slow as their legs could carry them! This iconic calling card of the show has inspired a thousand parodies, sketches the world over - from Friends to The Muppets - and even a 'slow-motion' marathon, happening to celebrate the new film (in case you're wondering how it works - people have to reach the finish line of the .2k race in the 'slowest and sexiest' fashion, to win!
But why the slow motion running on Baywatch in the first place, we hear you ask? Whatever the unintended consequences, it was apparently inspired by one of the producers shooting sprinters in a similar way at the 1988 Olympic Games. David Hasselhoff also claimed recently that is helped to paid out the 50-minute running slot on their super-low budget.
Whatever the reasons, we love it and are totally working on our own runs this summer - iPhones at the readyâ¦
