The Halo: Reach t-shirt that I'm wearing came shipped as a brick nestled into the box I'm holding. We wanted to see if it held its shape after the plastic wrap was removed. The answer is yes. Unfortunately, it also holds all the wrinkles for a long, long time. Might want to go with a cotton/poly blend next time, folks.

If you're curious to see what the t-shirt looked like in brick form, you can see it here. Warning: the photo contains shirtless Dave. Some of you (i.e., my girlfriend) will be delighted. The rest of you might want to retch.

Thanks to buddy Rob for donating the shirt. Playing Halo with him last night reminded me of two things: 1) I suck at first person shooters, and 2) the internet is turning today's 15-year-olds into sociopaths. Seriously. I would have never tried pulling any of that crap when I was 15, mostly because in those pre-XBL days my fellow players would have been in the same room and would have just punched me in the face.
