This is a picture of me, the first ever posted on this blog, proudly displaying a T-Shirt, purchased from Urban Outfitters, that I received for my “dirty thirty” birthday party. I laughed out loud when I opened this gift. It was partly because it’s true: I do flip cup like it’s my job. I love Flip Cup. However, it was the blatant lack of an apostrophe on the shirt that really tickled me pink. Not one of my friends thought this shirt was as hilarious as I did, including the friend who gave it to me (and who hadn’t noticed the flub), but I have worn this shirt proudly for the last five years. Not one time has someone on the street, in the grocery store, or at the library stopped me to say, “Hey! Did you notice that there’s an apostrophe missing from that shirt?” I doubt anyone has ever noticed. Nor have they noticed, I’m sure, that the “F” and “C” are capitalized, when it’s not even using the words “flip” and “cup” as the title of the game. Whatevs.
Here’s a closer look, since you may have been distracted by how tight the shirt is post-baby and many, many spins through the dryer. Oh, and yes, it’s stained. It’s an old shirt, for cryin’ out loud.
My Favorite Flip Cup Champion T-Shirt.
Imagine my surprise and glee when I found the same exact mistake from another humongous retail chain, Old Navy, today on Yahoo!’s main page:
Yeah! Old Navy blows it as well as Urban Outfitters!
I live for this stuff!
