My Google Fu skills have failed re: handcuff shirts. Seriously, I don’t want a BDSM logo t-shirt! Well, not much. I want the warm snuggly sleeves that come down over my hands, cradling them in the deepest cold of winter. In my part of Texas that means it only gets down to about 30 degrees, but I am a delicate flower and must protect my digits! Do you know if they go by some other name or description?
BTW, I’ve always heard Cthulhu pronounced K-th-hool-hu. With the accent on the hool part.
Spelling and pronunciation
Cthulhu has also been spelled as Tulu, Clulu, Clooloo, Cthulu, Cthullu, C’thulhu, Cighulu, Cathulu, C’thlu, Kathulu, Kutulu, Kthulhu, Q’thulu, K’tulu, Kthulhut, Kulhu, Kutunluu, Ktulu, Cuitiliú, Thu Thu,[2] and in many other ways. It is often preceded by the epithet Great, Dead, or Dread.
Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as “Khlûl’-hloo” (IPA: [ˈχɬʊl.ɬuː] ?).[3][4] S. T. Joshi points out, however, that Lovecraft gave several differing pronunciations on different occasions.[5] According to Lovecraft, this is merely the closest that the human vocal apparatus can come to reproducing the syllables of an alien language.[6] Long after Lovecraft’s death, the pronunciation kə-THOO-loo (IPA: [kəˈθuːluː]) became common, and the game Call of Cthulhu endorsed it.

Here’s the Handcuffs shirt site: http://www.orriginalsmall.com/handcuffsweats/index.asp?gclid=CIbrtbH0sqYCFQQPbAod8RNZoA
Took me a while to find it, too — I got the shirt as a hand-me-down from a friend, and googled for a while in vain!
I’m seeing in wikipedia it might commonly be pronounced something like Ka-Two-Loo
