Origins Of Shirt

Those of you that have read yesterdays post will know about the bet. Today I will explain how exactly it came about.

A few days ago I went to visit my friends Fraser and Paul with the intention of helping Paul write his final project for his masters and generally muck about with Fraser. Time passed. We watched a film. More time passed. It became obvious that no work was going to get done. I soon realised this. More time passed. I suggested that we go and join our friends who were going into town that evening. The boys agreed that this was indeed a fine plan.

Horror!

Panic!

A third thing!

I was wearing a Lions rugby shirt (not the rugby shirt of a lion), I could not go to a club like this. Quick as a flash Paul said;

'I'll see what I've got.'

He then proceeded to pull out the single worst shirt man has ever created! (we looked up the designer on-line and it turns out that he is currently on trail at the Hague). Well, I thought about it. I am on a self imposed drinking ban until Day of Mann 2011 (29th April 2011), so I thought that this may be a suitably humorous distraction.

Out we went.

We met our dear, dear friends (this is a Death Race 2000 quote, watch it!) Hopson and James. After having a bi of a giggle at how ridiculous the shirt was (and still is, Christ!) James suggested that I keep it on until Day of Mann 2011 (29th April 2011) which was over three weeks away. Of course I thought this was a fantastic chance to get into the spirit of Day of Mann 2011 (29th April 2011) and a chance to rack up some Mann points. I agreed. James then said that I was not to take it off for anything short of a medical emergency, which made life a bit more difficult (ergo, sleeping (I get hot) and showering (I get wet)), but with a prize in excess of two beers (three beers) and a forfeit of almost four beers (I don't need to make the joke again, do I?) I could not back down.

Just a great film

I will continue to keep you updated. If there are any questions or ideas please let me know.

Also, I understand that a lot of you will not be familiar with Day of Mann 2011 (29th April 2011), so I will shortly explain this event.
