Hungry? Not sure what to make for dinner?
How about Johnny's shirt in a fine coffee broth? Mmmmm....I am sure it's a delicacy in France. Friggin' french eat everything.
Anyways, another night of creating "piratey things" and the first thing to do is create a dirty pirate-looking shirt for Johnny. Well, actually, I am not really creating anything. Like I said before, I am soaking his shirt in coffee. Very, very, black coffee. It has the consistency of tar. On a cold day.
As I am sitting on my couch watching Ellen and stirring my coffee-shirt stew, I realize "hey, won't Johnny smell like coffee if he wears this shirt?" After determining that he probably will, and that the smell of coffee won't increase his chances with the ladies I am now stuck trying to figure out how to get the coffee smell out, but keep the coffee stain in.
Normally, if I wanted to get out a stain, it wouldn't come out just to spite me. But I have a feeling that if I wash this shirt, the coffee colour will go and that will leave me concocting another stew to cook the shirt in.
Do I put the shirt in the dryer first to "set the stain"? Do I wash in cold water?
Maybe there's some "joke" laundry detergent out there that keeps stains in...
I had a hard enough time learning how to wash laundry properly...and now I have to un-learn and wash wrong?
What a complicated world.

Why didn't you just use tea?
Although tea would've smelled a whole lot better, it doesn't turn out dark enough unless you use loose leaves.
Quite frankly, that is way too much money in tea leaves for a pirate shirt.
For the record, Kristen, the genius, soaked the shirt in vinegar to set the stain, then washed it.
Now I won't smell like coffee or deter the lady pirates from grabbing my booty.
Go Kristen!
