if the ass-end of No Where has the internet, shirts don't have to cost $100. But if the shirt is really nice, why not?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think also that the shirt size Gus wears probably isn't all that common. Plus, it needs more cloth than the usual shirt.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I must be more LA than I thought, because while I can't recall ever spending $100 on a shirt, I can certainly see how one might be tempted. I don't need dress shirts for work, so it's a moot point. DH bought a $200 tuxedo shirt to wear to our wedding, but I think that was dress envy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
morning. 18 degrees outside when I left, but it feels much colder.
The poor stupid bulbs that starting growing 2-3 weeks ago are so confused.
It feels very Monday (which means I would rather still be in bed and I kinda am pissed off at everyone for no good reason), and I am trying to squash the Mondayness by remembering what a good day Friday was and how rested I am. ANd OH! maybe I will make plans to go see a movie tonight.

My body is unused to cold, so I can't conceive of how cold 18 degrees is. Yeeps. Sounds verra cold.
I'm having a good Monday in that I woke up early and rested enough to grade, and I get to go to my daughter's daycare this afternoon for Franny's good bye party. She's saying good bye to toddlers and moving up to the preschool group. There will be homemade banana bread and a crown. Fun!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I've spent close to $100 on a cashmere sweater, but, that's (high-quality) cashmere. Also, $90 on sale from $150 has to count for something.
My bulbs are having similar wintry confusion. I saw the tips of crocus the other day (which obviously predate me, since I didn't plant them), and was like, dudes, you are a month early. Go back to bed.
It is stupid-cold outside today, which is why it's so ironic that I forgot to pack my lunch this morning.

OMG! Isaac just woke up and greeted me with a clearly spoken "Mama." Then he put his hand on my breast and said what sounded like "boobies there." Now he's just making baby babble.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I spent $40 on a shirt once. It was made of hemp, so it will last forever. (I have many dress shirts with holes worn in the elbows.) If only I could find hemp jeans, as a pare of Levis tends to last me about a year.

Always Anti-fascist!
I wear my stuff all too long and have sense of style like a thing that's not. No wonder I've got no $100 shirts. Although some of my gothy shirts did actually cost some money.
