Why does T-shirt Hell's title appear as "T-Shirt Hell" on Google, but when you go to the site, it appears as:

Funny t-shirts, Funny shirts, Crazy t-shirts, Crazy shirts, Cool t-shirts, Cool shirts

Isn't google supposed to use what's inside the title tag as the title in the search results?

No, Google will use what's inside the title tag, plus the first text it can read only if you do not inlucde a description tag in your HTML. Below is and excerpt from T-Shirt Hell's
website:

Title for browser window:
Funny t-shirts, Funny shirts, Crazy t-shirts, Crazy shirts,

Google also sometimes uses the title and description from the dmoz directory.
