Austin Fallas

Sarcasm

Sarcasm

When I worked the last of the big shows in Austin, the first day the promoter cranked the AC down to 67. I was in shorts. Before going back the next day, I stopped and bought a shirt at one the Fallas’s locations. It’s an inexpensive, durable-goods, dry goods store with a strong Hispanic influence. Cheap.

“Ropas para Caballeros,” sign says.

The heavy, must be synthetic, shirt cost $3. Three dollars. Good deal. Kept me warm all day, but, I’m sure, by the end of the day, it had started to shrink. That was before I washed it. Doubt it will take a wash. We’ll see.

Sunday morning coming down, as the song goes, I came across this t-shirt. In that store.

Nice, red image.

    Sweet Dreams…yeah. A fave.

    We have a micro-group of friends and we have that tee in brown (reflective of a certain bodily function). Quiet rebellion, I guess. Wearing it to church always provokes comment. Like we need your comments.

    My principal tells me I’m a master of sarcasm. I guess I need one of these shirts to affirm her declaration!

    JUST THE RIGHT THING

    Bright scarlet is just the right thing
    To make a sad heart start to sing;
    It fills you with cheer—
    Now isn’t that clear?
    It’s better than any old bling!

    LOL….love the caption on the shirt!! I’m wondering, just why the heck they put the A C so low in the first place!! [perhaps wash in cold water to keep the shrinkage to a minumum?]
