Day 152



Today, Day 152 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge, is also my Dad's birthday, so I have chosen to wear one of his T-shirts. Sort of.

For no reason other than its heavily discounted price, my mother bought this T-shirt as a gift for my father who flatly declined anything to do with it. Whether it was the caption drawing undue attention to his own nude head, or the notion of wearing a T-shirt altogether that turned him off, my Dad simply was not interested in owning this T-shirt and so its fate now rests with my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge.

As you can see, Elmer Fudd is the star of this design, reworking a well known image-conscious quip about fashion and lady's derrières, and repurposing it as a gag for a balding male audience.

Following in my father's headsteps, I too am vacating follicles and so the joke of this tee isn't all that far from home, though hopefully there's a few more years in my barnet before the comedy sets in.

Happy birthday Dad.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
