better than

I was never athletic. I'm still not.
I never placed in anything, which always meant I was always placed in the "honorable mention" categories.
You know, the ribbon they give out to the rest of the kids that didn't place in 1st, 2nd or 3rd so that they feel better and can at least bring something home to your parents.

But now, I don't mind at all. Hell, I bask in the idea of being part of the honorable mention category. To me, its better than 1st.
This shirt is dedicated to all those honorable mention kids.
