While hanging out on Queen Street West back in the summer of 1985, I saw a T-shirt with the image below and bought it immediately. I wore it all summer that year:

Yesterday’s entry, “Thank You, Mask Man!”, got me thinking about that time and what was then my favourite t-shirt. A little Googling led to me to this entry in the blog We Saw a Chicken, whose author had scanned the image from the magazine Strange Things are Happening.
I’m going to invert the image and make it the desktop background on my computers.

Ten Ways to Look Like a Total Toolbag
I enjoy both smart-assery and dressing up, so this snarky-but-spot-on piece in Magnificent Bastard, titled Ten Ways to Look Like a Total Toolbag, amused me to no end. Here’s a preview:
Click the picture to see the article.
The ten ways, which are elaborated upon in the article, are:
- Backwards baseball cap
- Oakley Blades sunglasses
- Bluetooth headset
- Gold necklace
- Tommy Bahama shirt
- National Review magazine
- Belt-clipped cellphone
- “Cause” wristband
- Over-the-knee double-pleated shorts
- Crocs
I do occasionally wear a Tommy Bahama shirt when it climbs past 30 degrees (that’s 86 for my American friends), but I have a genetic right: I’m from a tropical country and I can pass for Hawaiian.
