A package from Bikesnob

I had been eagrly anticipating the arrival of this package for a couple days. So when I opened my mail box to find it stuffed inside I was nearly giddy with excitement. I am now the proud owner of one BSNYC/RTMS 100% Cotton Wednesday Afternoon Lounging Smock (no Scothguard) and as I have learned in the last two weeks that make me part of an exclusive group of cylists who's members include Lance Armstrong, and Fat Cyclist. This is rembarkable realy because I am neither a professional road road racer or top cycling blogger.
Unlike Fat Cyclist I do plan to wear the jersey though. Here's a picture of me wearing it, it fit quite nicely actually. Bike snob clearly sparred no expense when creating his ceremonial lounging smock. I do plan to wear it. I am however somewhat apprehensive, as I fear it may wield some sort of great untold power over me. Like a real life JRR Tolkin manuscript, but with lots of cycling and irony.
In fact Bikesnob himself has already alluded to this:

"Incidetally, Armstrong did win both the ITT and the TTT, though with regard to his ITT victory he said he was only "moderately pleased" and that he "wasn't ecstatic." I like to think that the shirt confered upon him the power to find something negative in a positive situation."

It seems the lounging smock tends to make one's head disappear in photographs. Is that a magical property? Or just a sign that everyone (except Lance) who wears one is Satan?
