Order Of The Tawdry Shirt

[Nan]

The following is the text of the awesome certificate that arrived with the Tawdry Shirt. My apolgies that I am not computer literate enough to be able to present it in certificate format!
................................................................................................
ORDER OF THE TAWDRY SHIRT

Agreement is that a photo is taken wearing the shirt as soon as the recipient feels well enough (scar display is optional). The photo is then posted in Valve Replacement.com along with notice that the gaudy silken garment is ready for the next OHS bound initiate of The Order of the Tawdry Shirt.

The new photo is then signed and forwarded to the next mildy unstable requester before their OHS, along with the accompaning photos and the freshly laundered shirt (machine washable gentle cycle, no bleach, hang dry).

May each find solace, companionship, and comfort in the receiving, wearing and giving of this worthless shirt.

Definitely a Bob document.

If anyone questions your wisdom in wearing such a shirt - you can always blame it on Pump Head.

I say, "Blame it on Bob!"

And his Valve Mafia???

Yes, the document flowed from my keyboard. Mea culpa..

JBrown,

Stretch and Nan are sharing the first shirt between them in some undetermined fashion. David Fortune has the second (his recovery and mine are astonishingly similar).

There is a third such shirt, also worn as a recovery garment. If David doesn't have means to get his shirt to the post office in time, I'll be more than happy to forward it posthaste for your recovery. Check with him first.

If David clears it, PM me with your address, and I'll start that one on its wayward journey as well. Again, the only requirements are the photo and passing it willingly on to the next person. I'm hoping for some European, South American, and Australian takers, so these entrancing rags might someday cross the world with their message of VR friendship, caring, and poor fashion judgement.

Best wishes,

Joe,

I would be happy to welcome to the Second Shirt - Order of The Tawdry Shirt. This is the infamous baby blue pineapple "blithely meretricious tatter fashioned of pure Bombyx mori cocoon thread and bluster" (quote included from tobogatwo) that is in the pics from Before and After.

PM me with your address and I will get said shirt, along with associated accoutrements into the USPS priority mail ASAP.

So far this Second Shirt has some good mojo (two for two - surgery on Tues out on Fri)

David
