Day 159



It's Day 159 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge and everything is still going to plan. The weather is finally T-shirt friendly, the blog viewing statistics are looking healthy and even the Mystery Package is playing nice.
I've not received many new tees in recent weeks however, but the last bundles that did come along were plentiful so there's no call to be hovering over my panic button just yet. I'll just need to ramp up my promotion again to spread the word of the challenge and secure more donations, though this time avoiding student unions as the one's I've approached couldn't seem to care less.

Today I'm wearing this blue Quiksilver number which came to me all the way from China. Not by itself you understand - my challenge is not so popular that tees from around the world are desperately mustering the strength to conjure supernatural power to drift effortlessly across the Earth. Yet.
No, this T-shirt found its way to me via my wife's suitcase as she returned from an oriental break a few years ago.

The design on this garment is pretty typical for the Quiksilver brand; the title is repeated haphazardly across the high-chest point in a wild splashy typeface in both white and grey with a red logo device that would invoke the rebellious spirit within even the most civilised do-gooder.
And if that wasn't enough for the anti-establishment factor, the tee is not even a genuine article!
It says "Quiksilver", but you know what? That's a lie.
A damn, dirty, sexy, good looking with the labels cut off, lie!
Take that you probably tax-dodging multinational corporation with enough money to buy all the tea in China!
