I was bored. It happens. Occasionally.
So, out of

desperation,

I rewatched this movie from 1987...

I never really liked it back in the day, and I only ever rented it once.
I thought it was stupid, and I hated the kids.

Well, fast forward 33 years ... I am now way more forgiving than I used to be. Practically saint-like. Also, these days, I can fully appreciate all the art and efforts that go into creating … well,

things

.

 
Anyway, as most people already know, this movie is about a group of exceptionally ugly children, and the leading brat of the bunch keeps prancing around in his gawd-awful, pretentious poser T-shirt...

...and I thought to myself:

"This hideous thing should really be a SOPOR shirt.
Just to seriously confuse and piss-off everyone … - if nothing else"

.

So, I sat down to try and recreate the look of said shirt, only to be instantly appalled by the boring plainness of the design. Or rather the

lack

of one. I mean, yes, for this incredibly hilarious "joke" to work, the shirt would

have

to be a (more or less) exact copy of the one in the movie. But, no, I couldn't do it. I needed something

more

.
 
Slightly exhausted by all this faux '80s nostalgia-insanity, I began drifting off into my current erotic fantasy (

slash

possible future husband) ...

Beastman

... who used to be the secret (but shining) star of this little known, fabulous homosexual propaganda show, entitled

something, something Universe

… and suddenly I realised what this shirt was lacking:
 

Saint-Varney-of-the-Dead holding aloft the magical JUSA-staff-of-power

.

YESSS!

 
I e-mailed Martin Herrera about this idea, who then quickly sketched the figure I had envisioned.

"Great, close enough!"

, I replied and slapped it on the shirt:

Aaaahhhh,

BEAUTY WAS BORN !!!

Now, as every proper serial-killer will tell you, imagination is all good and well,
but at a certain point you will want "the real thing" ...

… and I now needed this shirt!
 

No, the

WORLD

needed this shirt !!!

So, I had one printed ...

FABULOUS !!!

( A damn lot of orange, though. But still ... )

What I needed next was somebody to actually wear it.
Preferably, a body with a

magical staff

of his own.
 
So, I asked one of my hot musclebear friends to model it for me ...

Yes, I know ...  "technically" ... the shirt is at least one size too small for him.
But, hey, it looks damn good that way !    ;)

 
Oddly enough, I actually really

do

like this shirt, and not just on him. I don't know, there's just something about it that makes me smile ... which is a welcome change.

 
Naturally, this will never be an "official", screen-printed SOPOR shirt, for all the obvious and boring reasons.
