Hail to the colors that float in the light

The University of Michigan makes a killing, I'm sure, on merchandise. You see it everywhere. One of the more popular styles is the plain block-letter "Michigan" with the name of a specific sport or school within the university (in this case, figure skating). They have "Michigan Law" shirts. "Michigan Medicine". "Michigan Public Health". "Michigan Social Work". "Michigan Undecided" (really).

Do they have "Michigan Information"? No, because people would always be asking us for directions. The Archives & Records Management students have designed their own "Michigan Archives" t-shirts. I would suggest that we make our own "Michigan School of Information Human-Computer Interaction Specialization" shirts, except that the words would probably wrap all the way around my body and still not fit.

Sigh. Ho hum. "Michigan HCI"?

I was at Briarwood Mall once, and I saw a girl with a shirt that said "Michigan Vaginas." I'm sure it was a sorority shirt (and probably had Dave Matthews Band lyrics on the back), but I really wanted that shirt. I might have to make my own.

When they did The Vagina Monologues at Albion, I believe the cast and crew got all kinds of vagina-related merchandise. Maybe it's from U-M's production?

Ah. Could be.

How about Michigan Nerds? No, that would be too obvious. Michigan Card Catalogs? Michigan Dewey Decimal System?

While cleaning in the garage this weekend I wore my dad's old Michigan Engineering sweatshirt. So nyah.

Those damn engineers got their own halftime show on Saturday.

Robin and I have an ongoing argument over whether engineers or information professionals are nerdier. So far I have been taking her to all of my social events, so she's winning.

How fun that I am wearing a Michigan tshirt as we speak.

Are we speaking? I'm not.

I am. Constantly. Sans cesse.

Chemical engineers are the coolest of all engineers. I'm just saying.

The Michigan Vaginas shirt was available at that "alternative" bookstore on fifth across from Eastern Accents and Banditos mexican restaurante. I wanted one too, but last time I went in there, they were sold out.
