Well, now that the really important stuff is out of the way (see below)... at least for another four and a half hours or so... here's the latest addition to the tee shirt wardrobe:
I was out at the base yesterday on a re-supply run and thought I'd drop in at the military clothing sales store just to see what sort of goodies they had in stock. I was much taken with the shirt above so I bought one, as one cannot possibly have TOO many tee shirts in one's possession. I mean it's just not possible, yanno?
Still and even... I'll feel like a low-grade poseur when wearing this shirt, given as how I never served in Special Operations Command. But that doesn't stop me from wearing various organizational hats of the Squidly variety (the current one being from the USS Monterey [CG61]), thoughtfully furnished by SN2. So I guess I'm OK.
Speaking of important stuff... those of you who may have read the comments to the post below know I said I would post this, once it became available.
Well... it's obviously available... and as the announcer said: "The save of the playoffs." There was a little bit of luck involved with this save, but then again... GREAT goalies make their own luck a lot of the time. This save is truly spectacular. Varlamov is the principal reason the Caps took Game One of this series. Conversely, Fleury is the principal reason the Pens LOST. That boy has to learn to control his rebounds if the Pens have any hope of winning this series.

Well...at least you got a little Navy Blue to balance out the Air Force Blue ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah... SN2 keeps me straight. In a manner of speaking. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice T-Shirt! You can never have too many T-Shirts! If you are like me, they turn into work shirts fairly quick - dropped paint, spilled bleach, hot-sauce stain...
ReplyDeleteI have more than a few "retired" tee shirts that become car-wash rags and the like. It always makes me sad to see one go, as they're ALL favorites (why else would I buy 'em?).
ReplyDeleteHey Buck,
ReplyDeleteCool T-shirt. I would wear one, too. But I feel the same way about being a poseur/linked to those sorts. I think you can be forgiven for wearing it because you can say you are rooting for the team.
Like wearing a Red Wings jersey, despite never having played hockey.
I'll wait until I am about 15 years older before I go to wearing Ranger/SOC/Seal/Recon fan shirts.
Darryl: I hear ya about the SpecOps stuff. No one is likely to take me for a Special Operator or even a SpecOps wanna-be at my age, though. I DO have 15 years on ya, so I think your rule of thumb is pretty accurate.
ReplyDeleteOk...that was the save of the playoffs...
ReplyDeleteI'm off to find more highlights!
