death before dishonour

I like this tee design, it’s pretty full on, but then again Death Before Dishonour don’t really do half measures, so I was expecting nothing less when they tweeted me a link to this design, which was apparently inspired by a book called “Go Rin No Sho” from 1645 by Miyamoto Musashi.I have no idea if that really has any effect upon the design, but it’s nice to know that it came from somewhere.

However, and I don’t want to be a spelling Nazi here, but I was watching the always-excellent Only Connectlast night on Sky+ (so it was an old one), and they had up a list of words like sheep, samurai, and a couple of other I can’t remember off the top of my head. The thing that connected those words was that their plurals do not have an ‘S’ on the end of them, the singular and the plural have the same spelling. I assume that in modern English it’s okay to use both ‘samurai’ and ‘samurais’ at the plural, but there’s always going to be some jackass like me around to tell you that there’s a speling mistake on your tee every time you wear it, because that’s just the way the world works.

If that superfluous ‘s’ doesn’t bother you the tee is £25 in the DBD store, and the sweatshirt is £42.
