my computer scientist t-shirts
In yet another issue of self-deprecating posts (remember the one where my wife calls guest services? or the one about exercise?) I decided I have to show & tell you about my new t-shirts. Due to the rapid shrinking of my previous issue of Hanes™ undershirts Jessie and I decide to upsize my t-shirts to XL, plan for shrinkage, and then I’d end up with a perfect fitting t-shirt and be the envy of my hipster neighborhood.
Unfortunately, the experiment hasn’t yielded the expected results that quickly. And instead of a custom tailored outfit, I end up looking more like a Computer Scientist (as you can see in the above image). Add a Dell logo to that shirt and hot dang! you’ve got yourself a total nerd. The nerdiness is then amplified by the fact that I am more or less a Computer Scientist and I spend 9~10 hours a day at my computer. Geeze.
I was telling my wife.. it’s like this…
- If I put on a L-size t-shirt, it sort of tells everyone “Hey, ya, I know I’ve got some extra pounds.”
- If I put on an XL-size t-shirt, it says “[nervous laugh] What?!? [nervous laugh] What weight!? i don’t know what you’re talking about!!?! [nervous laugh]“
at least it’s a matter of tees- i can’t fit into anything i used to wear pre-marriage. so you were admonishing people not to get married at their peak-weigh time….
i’m here to tell you that perhaps it doesn’t matter! maybe its better… that way, you have the opportunity to lose the weight, instead of like… getting married all skinny and gaining a bunch of weight and feeling like you sold the other person a bill of goods…. *ahem.
That shirt would be perfect to wear to Schlitterbahn with your youth group.
