Wow, this has the most articles on one shirt than any I've seen, this means that it I must enter myself.
Hello PopSci,
How are you doing? Hope you are alright.
Last week.. hell I don't remember.
I want a free shirt, it seems very cheap and the quality very good. In 5 days would be asking a little much.
This site also has other things that I want, but they are far too expensive or not ready to be made mainstream and so on.
I'll never forget to share the source of my shirt with friends.
So, if you are interested, pick me.
I doubt there is any surprise.
;)
This would be a lovely shirt to own.
