Mr Vintage Makes My World A Brighter Place

When Flight of the Conchords can't kick a blue mood, Mr Vintage sure knows how to. I love cruising around the site and reading the t-shirt descriptions. Here is a description for a 't-shirt of the day' shirt that I was sorely tempted to buy - IF I was from Gisborne.
I bought many a shirt from them while I was away in Canada. They have a whole kiwiana section that most kiwis I met were happy to wear and were mostly loved by those who saw us wearing them

"On October 8, 1769, an enlightened cat (Captain James Cook) first set foot on New Zealand soil after him and his mates were cruising around. The way I hear it went down is that Jim was back in his quarters kicking it with a cold cup of Hennessey, when all of a sudden he got the call that land had been spotted. After getting himself in order, he slipped on his shades and popped up to check it out. He quickly rewarded William Gisborne with naming rights, and declared that Gisborne would now be forever associated with wild New Years Eve parties in which underage fools get their crunk on and listen to dub. What a poignant moment in NZ history."

Here's a picture of the shirt:
