Ah, makes sense to me.

Not on any T-shirts yet as far as I know. I made up both of them and use 
them as humorous blessings for friends. The Happy Hippo one was a 
birthday blessing for my sister just a week ago.

Only thing they all have in common is alliteration. And the original of 
the one about the bellowing bison was "May the Bellowing Bison of Beauty 
Barge Bashfully through your Bedroom" so the contradiction between 
someone bellowing while being bashful appeals to me.
