Spotlight on a Top Shelfer: Jim Traficant edition

Last week Rep. Jim Traficant (D-Ohio) was let out of jail after seven years. Traficant, 60, was convicted of all charges he faced, including racketeering, bribery, kickbacks and fraud.

read more, here, including:
After his indictment, his theatrical performance before the House Ethics committee and his subsequent expulsion from the House, Traficant offered this puzzling comment about his future: "I will take with me a file, chisel and a knife. I'll try to get some major explosives to fight my way out," he said. "Then when I get out, I'll grab a sword like Maximus Meridius and as a gladiator, I'll stab people in the crotch."

Spotlight on a Random Top Shelfer - Back to School



T-shirt Teacher
says:

For the past two months, students living in LaGrange Hall have had to deal with a huge problem - three days out of every week there is not any hot water in Lagrange. As a student and resident, for over a thousand dollars a semester, I expect to at least have my basic needs of living supplied, but I guess hot water is just too much to ask for.

Fabric: 50-50

Size reads: M

Measures: 19 inches across the chest, 26 inches back collar to hem

Colors: green shirt with gold Lagrange Hall House Council 1982-83 print

The Top Shelf is Half Price... Permanently!


Or at least for the indefinite future. It felt so good mailing out tons of awesome shirts to tons of awesome people this week that we've decided to leave the prices where they're at - so everything on the top shelf is still half price.

We're also going to be picking up the posting pace, potna. That means more vintage gold for less money, with new stuff being added every week. It's like you've stumbled into some weird alternate universe where everything's awesome.
