I don’t remember exactly how I ended up receiving the “What On Earth” catalog for the first time. But I do know that it changed the course of my life. It was choke full of the clothing equivalent of manna from heaven. T-shirts! Funny ones, weird ones, cool ones, t-shirts that would make me stand out from the pubescent junior high crowd. It was like the first time a baby discovers cake frosting. I was all wide-eyed and couldn’t get enough.
Through college, my friend Galyn and I became famous (or infamous) for our eclectic t-shirts. It became, for me, more of a lifestyle than a fashion choice. The “fat ugly hula girls” and the “big spotted hoodoos” were more who we were than what we wore.
Well, lo and behold, the circle of life has come back around. I discovered only a few weeks ago, that the “What On Earth” catalog still exists and they now have a web site. *GLEE* There are literally thousands of shirts on there site, so it will take me a while to go through them all, and I fear that my t-shirt wish list will soon require it’s own dedicated hard drive. So be it. Never again will I struggle with the question, “What do you want for your birthday?” My response will be the following URL: http://www.surelyyourenotserious.com/blog/?page_id=448
