There has been much debate and speculation concerning the beginnings of “Melancholy Ninja” and the tshirt that he spawned.   The story goes like this.  

The four T-shirt Insurgents and some of their closest friends were spending a weekend at a cabin in the Shenandoah Valley.  After a long day of fishing, fighting off bears, playing beer soccer, enduring cattle raids, and making much merry, Matt decided to try to liven up the night in typical Matt fashion.

After downing a glass of Evan Williams and donning a ski mask, Matt started running around waving a bunch of sharp knives.  We rolled our eyes and ignored him.   He became sad.  Most people would see this and think “pathetic”.  Justin saw it and made it “art”. 

This is the Insurgency’s newest product.   And even after we come out with new shirts, this will remain the newest.
