what the hell happened to
fruit of the loom t-shirts?!
the brand, what happened
to it?
   sorry, i'm continental -
i don't don the dross dress-code
of quasi-Victorian-esque
modern Britain...
grey is fine,
as is black... well... black
not so much...
but grey is fine...
          albeit you need color
accents...
a vague azure pair
of shoes...
a shy plum purple
t-shirt...
no... wait: fading plum...
   and that works with the grey...
you can get away with
any color combo. when attached
to a grey canvas of
trousers and an overcoat...
i should begin calling
a specific grey by its true name:
Wehrmacht grey...
   like khaki is
       mustard green...
brown? i thought
that fresh mustard
seeds come in the guise of
green?
    so the left wants Nazis?
****... i can't believe i'm
trolling...
   and yes, the earth is "flat"
when you're reading a map...
ever navigate a car from
London to some ****-hole
3 hours away from Warsaw...
through the the Rhine
spaghetti of roads?
   near Dortmund?
using nothing more than
a paper map?
   what help is a spherical
earth... when reading
a two-dimensional map?!
        i know the earth isn't
flat...
but that doesn't help me
reading a map...
         i'm going from A to B...
i am C...
             but i'm not going
to posit the third-dimension
of C connecting A to B -
because C is me,
in transit from A to B...
           hell...
whatever happened to the fruit
of the loom t-shirts?
   loved the colors,
loved the logo...
**** ME!
i'm wearing just one such t-shirt...
probably about 20 years old...
stretching it...
the label reads:
STYLED IN USA
MADE IN IRELAND...
    wow!                wow!
i'm wearing this pristine
  t-shirt... that will not stretch...
the color will not fade...
        just because it was
made in Ireland...
      that's so ******* rare...
sure... Sri Lankan cotton products
are up there...
anything that doesn't
require the statement:
made in Ching Chang Walla(h).
