#171 How do you even play lacrosse?


This is a shirt that I got from Buffalo Exchange a little while back. I think I liked that it had something about being a day camp counselor and it made me nostalgic for my day camp days. This is one of those sort of comfort shirts that I own that I like throwing on whenever I don't know what to thrown on. It's soft and my favorite color and it's an interesting cut (basically it's a regular tee that someone cut a slit into).

Tangent time: I don't really wear much of anything that is revealing in any way. I like layers and I cringe at any time in which the occasion calls for shorts. I'm Amish in that way. That being said, about the sexiest thing I own is probably a V-neck tee. It's about the closest I get to showing any amount of cleavage or highlighting my boobies in any way. Plus, I don't know what it is but a simple V-neck and jeans is the outfit that I feel sexiest in. Something about the easy casualness of it maybe.

#170 Da Da Da Dah!


This is the Anteater Band shirt that was produced last year for that particular Davis trip. The theme as you might guess was superheroes. I went as a Ninja Turtle. Specifically I was Leonardo mainly because I had a blue katana already. So I guess I lied earlier about always going for obscure costumes. Whoops. The funny thing is that I was walking to the bathroom early in the day and all I had on as part of my costume was green yoga pants and my green long sleeved shirt with a cream turtle belly but I still managed to get recognized.

Brandon designed this shirt and I helped out a little. The little silhouette in the lower right of the superhero anteater was drawn by me. That took me about four minutes to draw. Brandon also asked me to draw a few blobby cloud shapes and that was about 20 minutes of my scratching my head and hating everything that I was committing to paper. In the end, he did that himself. But hey, that anteater sure is neat looking!

#169 MORE Rhinestones!


Not a great picture of the shirt or a particularly good picture of me but it's the best picture of the costume I think.

It was part of my costume for the annual UCI Anteater Band trip up to UC Davis for their Picnic Day Battle of the Bands. This year's theme was Disneyland so I decided to go for the mega obscure (as per usual when it comes to costumed events) and dressed as Captain EO, aka Michael Jackson as an intergalactic sailor on a mission of peace, music, and epic dance moves. This was produced in the 80s, a time when it was apparently generally assumed that music had the power to change the physical properties of things (relevant portion starts at the 1:28 mark). Michael's moves are so fly that they are able to keep his ass from being beaten by evil space robots and transform an evil witch (that looks to be about half-hentai-tentacle-monster and half Eddie Munster) into Anjelica Huston (eh, you can't win 'em all).

BUY: Me and my love of specificity, I bought the official (and relatively pricey) shirt from Disneyland. It does have a very old school soft feel to the material though so it's super comfy.

#168 "You're a loser, Tony. A loser with a skinny weiner!"


Heavyweights was maybe my favorite movie when I was a kid. It's just hilarious and weird and a total classic. Fun fact time: this movie is co-written by Judd Apatow aka the man behind practically every money-making, critically-lauded comedy of the past few years.

This shirt is one of the ones that the kids wear once Ben Stiller's character (Tony Perkis) takes over the camp. By far though, the breakout star of the movie is Lars, one of Uncle Tony's henchmen/camp counselors. Every line he has is pretty much comedy gold.


BUY: I got this one from mypartyshirt.com. They also have the counselor shirts (which are the same but in black).
