Shane, do you still have my shirt?

Shane, do you still have my shirt?

I feel this is both the time and the place to relate my first experience seeing Shane and the Popes. LA, House of Blues, sometime in the mid-1990's. Special guest-star James Fearnley was called to the stage and in my exuberance, I removed my t-shirt and tossed it at Shane. It landed at his feet. He didn't notice, I'm sure. I enjoyed the rest of the evening, but when the lights came on, I was in a tough spot. I couldn't imagine the indignity of leaving the club without a shirt on. Luckily, an aquaintance happened by and loaned me the flannel he was wearing over his t-shirt. I returned it to him the next day.

I'm older now. And I never miss the moron who would throw things at musicians. I apologize to Shane, James, the Popes and whoever may have been annoyed or inconvenienced by my shennanigans.

Twas' the drink that done it all.

Yeah, I got that bit. I called the thing Shane, do you still have my shirt and then I wrote that he didn't notice the shirt. Oh my god. What should I do? :oops: Perhaps I should flagellate myself with a cat'o'ninetails while repeating that I will never, ever again attempt to humourosly title an internet posting. But maybe that's not enough. What should I do? Should I just give up life and run away and die in a ditch and hope that nobody remembers me ever because of this awful thing?

Your signature combines the plural and the singular. It should be "We're ice machines" or "I am an ice machine." Either way you should leave me alone. If you don't like my story, piss off and do something productive with your life. :D

I think he used your shirt while decorating his new house. At least, that's what I heard

But it's got bite, something sorely lacking in your asinine "story." Nobody was criticizing your grammar.
