This arrived today:


I will probably wear it everywhere. It came with a free drink coupon. Free shirt, free shipping, free drink. Well done Starbucks.

Does anybody out there really, actually dry clean their jeans to maintain a dark wash? The thought of dry cleaning jeans seems almost as strange to me as the swimsuit I had that was allegedly "dry clean only." But, care instructions and magazines recommend dry cleaning to maintain the intended finish of so-called "premium denim," so I figure there must be people out there that do.

It reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg joke - which I will paraphrase:

My sweater is dry clean only. Which means it is dirty.

Here's another one:

"I was in a casino, minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, 'You're gonna have to move. You're blocking a fire exit.' As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you're a table."

Mitch Hedberg . . . sigh. I feel bad I only discovered him after he died. Justin, you have the perfect delivery and timing for his jokes. Tell me the one about the twin beds.

Wash your denim inside out and that will do just the same at maintaining the dark wash as dry cleaning will.

"I don't know any kings, but if one came over, I bet he would be comfortable. 'You're a king, you say? Well, you will not believe what I have in-store for you. Yeah, it's made to your exact specifications. I think I can even set your lady up, too.'"

"When I was little, I use to lay in my twin-size bed, wondering where my brother was."

slcup: I wash all my pants inside out, but they still seem to fade. But it seems so excessive and indulgent to pay $5 to have jeans dry cleaned.

And a little lame to dry clean jeans. Oh and pretentious. You can do what I do: drop a size every four months and require new pants.

U.P.: I've been trying to drop a size for about two years.

bellum: U.P. posted the link to the shirt a few weeks ago. It's this:
