Day 185



Today is America's Independence Day and I am fuming. Not because today is America's Independence Day, I'm totally fine with that, but because my iPhone, in all it's infinite wisdom, has decided to delete the THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge post I'd just written for today's American Independence Day T-shirt.

Every word is now a resident of that great big pixel graveyard in the ether.
Every hilariously prepared anecdote is now nothing more than fantasy.
That'll teach me for using an Apple product.

Now I'm quite pushed for time, so I'll have to give you the diet version of what I had written, that is, the parts I remember.
As you can see, today's tee pays tribute to what they call America's national pass-time; baseball. It's another donation from Virginia based printworks Custom Ink, and judging by the caption, it's a safe bet that it was a bespoke print job for an all female baseball team. Being as today is a pretty significant one for our friends over in the States, I thought it wise to save this tee until now.

In the original post, I'd paralleled how 'Throwing Like A Girl' is more akin to my athletic abilities than some of the other health/sports based T-shirt donations that have appeared in my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge so far that used words like 'health' and 'muscle'.
Only I'd written it much funnier than that.
Much funnier.
There was also a self-deprecating sentence or two, a bit about my own mirror reflection laughing at me... I don't really remember the rest.

Basically all you need to take away from this is that it's American Independence Day, Custom Ink have sent another donation to my challenge, and I throw like a girl.
