Day 86

My best friend Kevin is addicted to havoc, chaos and mayhem.
His Internet search habits have probably placed him on several different lists monitored by the Ministry of Defence, and his wife has no idea that his shed is actually a front for a subterranean fortified labyrinth.
It's no wonder then that Kevin's appetite for destruction is frequently required on projects for Pyro Junkies. The pyrotechnics and special effects experts have a range of impressive case studies under their (utility) belt, including TV shows such as X-Factor, gigs and tours for acts such as Girls Aloud and even a stint during the live 2012 Olympic* ceremonies, all of which have showcased their ability to fire sparks, smoke, flame and confetti at key figures of the entertainment industry, without causing them any significant harm (though the confetti is especially deadly).

Several years ago whilst undertaking my final major project at college, I asked Kev if he could help add a little something extra to my video piece about Revelations and the destruction of Earth. Several hours later, we were in a disused industrial estate blowing up abandoned cars with controlled explosives on camera and only stopped when a police helicopter began circling...

Thanks to Kevin, I have today's challenge tee sorted - he has hooked me up (though hopefully not literally) with this Pyro Junkies T-shirt, which is the first tee of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge to have the business end on the reverse. It features the unique company logo; a fella blowing his brain pan sky high whilst protecting his ear drums, under the strap line "addicted to black powder", with the same again on the front left breast.

* are we allowed to say 'Olympic' yet? And '2012'? And 'and'?
