Oh, when I joined the Eagles (as it might be yesterday)

I would like to make several thoughtful posts, but they may have to hold off a day or two while I catch up on sleep.

On a brief grocery errand earlier this evening, I passed a man wearing a T-shirt which stated in black on hot pink, in a combination of san-serif and expressively ornate fonts, "I sweat glitter and cum—" and then he was using his smartphone with both hands, so his arms were in such a position that I couldn't read what the T-shirt professed its wearer cums. Metaphysically, I feel it should be something like "confetti," but I can't prove it. I am concerned that attempting to find out via Google will lead only to regret. [edit] It is confetti! Thank you, friendslist.

(My T-shirt for the day has been the one for the Legio VI Victrix which [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks got me in 2012, with the bull-emblem in gold on Roman-red. I try not to wear it too often, so as not to fade it with washing. There are occasions it's right for.)

Today also contained a legitimate conversational opportunity to mention the apotropaic winged phallus (now with bells on!), as well as that one relief where a fascinus wards off the evil eye by ejaculating in it, so obviously I did.

I'm not sure if I sense a theme.

I suspect it would be rainbows, but I'm not Googling it either.

Museum gift shops are letting us all down, IMO.

Someone sat down one morning and wrote that bronze phallus windchimes "make a tinkling sound" and posted it to the web for the rest of us. Thank you so much, copywriter. Here's a far far better photo and indeed, the market for these is going to be vast if someone would just start 3D printing them or something.

I found these on Etsy: sweater buttons, maybe?
