Needless to say, it arrived on Friday and I couldn&#39;t be more pleased. I&#39;d like to say I wore it to the Burlington Brewers Fest on Saturday, but I wore one that was even ruder from the same shipment. Those of you interested (the prurient kind) can find the t-shirt in the Onion store, referring to the moonwalk.</p><p><strong>Update:</strong> For several years, the article linked above was only available through the <em>subscribers-only</em> archive of <a href="http://theonion.com">the Onion</a> website.&nbsp;&nbsp;The article has been returned to the public sphere and can be reached using the links above.</p><img src="http://stamper.uvm.edu/cs/aggbug.aspx?PostID=27" width="1" height="1">Crypty
