I've got horrible news, today, Friday January 25th in the year 2008 at approximately 11:03 cst, we lost a dear dear friend. It was at this time that I discovered a hole in the elbow of....the Friday Flannel. The Friday Flannel died the same way it lived, cordoroyish. I'm not sure what that means but I'm a bit emotional here so just bear with me. The Friday Flannel began its life in the year 1998 probably made in some sweat factory by a 7 year old for 9 cents, it was then sold to the Eddie Bauer clothing company where it was purchased by me. Within weeks of purchase it immediately found its home on Friday's, thus signaling the end of the week. It is my humble opinion that the Friday Flannel has indeed grown beyond its simple confines of being a flannel that is worn on Friday's, but has become a legend in its own right. For with the exception of summertime, it has indeed been worn every single Friday for the past 10 years. To give a rough estimate thats 400 wearings, 400 of the best damn Friday's in the history of time! The Friday Flannel is deceased by all the other clothes I've outgrown and / or destroyed in some fashion. And it is survived by nothing of any significance.......today truly is a sad sad day. Please join me in mourning for the loss of a dear friend. And may the Friday Flannel rest in Peace.
