Editor’s pick from Derby #68: Double-Take Derby 3

Just because you’ve got a good position doesn’t mean you’re at the top. And even when you are, it doesn’t mean you’ll keep it forever. A big shot in the waters of Florida won’t mean a thing in the thunderstorms of Texas, and just because you get all the way up to Mt. Olympus doesn’t mean you can get away with acting like a shower of gold with some intern.

The gods are most interesting when they fall. That’s why we keep telling the stories. In a few thousand years, futurenerds will be dressing as George and Karl to live action roleplay their fall from grace. Who ever talks about Eisenhower and Truman, the two men who were in charge during the “Golden Age” of our nation? Politics is like the Internet: it’s all about drama and porn. And doesn’t that sum up almost every major pantheon pretty nicely?

This shirt was designed by: Zenne. First there is a credit, then there is no credit, then there is. Now go wax my car.

Wear this shirt: when you’ve had just about enough crap from your stupid older brother, thanks very much.

Don’t wear this shirt: if you’re the quiet brother that everyone forgets about, even though you’ve got connections with everyone that’s ever lived. Literally, everyone that’s ever lived. You could introduce Hitler to Gandhi but would that get you some goth chick? No, these days they’re off reading Neil Gaiman and wearing ankhs. Rhea was right, you should have been an accountant.

This shirt tells the world: something about Ovaltine and goats, unless they’ve changed the filter again.

We call this color: Welcome Black To The Fold, Little Forgotten Shirt
