this is, by my count, the 120th post.
this is a tshirt on loan from the sam dinkowitz collection
and, at this time, my final post.
i realized why i was going so long between
and that was because i didnt want to end the blog
or convince myself i had only 120 tshirts.
not counting the ones with nothing written on them.
all in all, its safe to say i own about 140
thank you

and listened to the other actors yell at one another,
turned to me as i grimaced from the din,
and said, totally deadpan, 'they mean it.'
crystal fox gave us these when we closed H6part2/3
