Blogging is good as buying
So when we were shopping yesterday, we came upon a giant table full of hilarious ten dollar shirts. One hilariously said “PARTY TIME!,” another “BLING BLING.” There were a few other shirts which I appreciated: a shirt which spelled out “TOUGH” in the font commonly reserved for M*A*S*H that used rhinestones as asterisks (this would be worn for irony only, of course), but it had that crazy bunching deal that non-tough shirts have on the sides which I figured would have been uncomfortable. I opted to keep my distance, instead focusing on a shirt which said “SUPERFLY” and featured a classic car. My favourite shirt, however, the one that said “DY-NO-MITE!,” is the one I wish to discuss.
You see, it is hilarious because it references an old television program. There is also a second level of hilarity introduced by the fact that Johny Popalis always used to say “Dynomite.” He didn’t so much resemble Jimmie “JJ” Walker as he did Bowser from Sha-Na-Na, but that’s neither here nor there.
At first I only came upon a large version of the shirt, which was unacceptable. Then I found a medium, which usually fits me, but I was too lazy to try it on. Having to locate the medium with extreme prejudice caused me to become bored with the shirt, and I decided not to buy it because blogging the shirt would be just as good as wearing it once, and wearing it once for hilarity was all I had intended. I didn’t want to become “the girl who constantly wears that ridiculous DYNOMITE! shirt,” after all.
So blogging saved me ten dollars yesterday. This will be used instantly against my parents.
