Bored in the library... let the facebook stalking commence!

so i´m working in my library in salasaca, ecuador amongst the quechua speaking folk and i am bored because i have to sit here 3 hours and i cannot be on a computer that long. so what do i do, i facebook stalk. i stumbled upon laurens wall and start reading. clearly i was going to pass over a comment made by max huston, but then i thought, three wolf moon t-shirt? must check it out.

so i started by checking out the other items people bought along with this one: whole milk,"zubaz pants" whatever they are, a joe the plumber book, and a badonkadonk land cruiser are only on the first page. that provoked a smile. but then when i proceeded to the customer review by B. Govern (Bee dot Govern), that´s when the magic happened. I was trying to stifle my laughter because i was at that moment playing the role of librarian and there was no way i could explain why it was so funny to my Quechua friends. That clearly didn´t happen. I burst out laughing, scaring the silent members of the library, and had tears running down my face. this man is brilliant and basically summed up the non white trash and non uber annoying hipster populations´opinion on wolf tshirts. i would also like to give a nod to the customer review by T. Guymon "Son of Spam" who is also amusing. If you continue on, as I have, to the other 1300+ reviews of the Three Wolf Moon tshirt, you will find that there are a lot of hilarious sarcastic people who are more than willing to take the time to write a really funny review of this ridiculous item. I say props to them because they have amused me thoroughly in my last hour of library duty. Thanks Max Huston for enlightening us all!

Here is a copy of the review by B. Govern:

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.
