Random thoughts...

Some goober egged my car last night. Took it to the car wash, which served to loosen the egg material sufficiently enough to scrub it off with a washcloth.

Afterwards, headed to Walmart for a batch of big envelopes to mail my amended taxes to the state capitol. Yes, my taxes are done... again! Then returned home to begin cleaning the house.

Turns out you were right, and I owe you an apology.  Sorry, mate.

Nike just sued Little Nasty.

That makes ALL the difference IMO.

I too don't believe Nike (or probably most corporations) on what they say - but them suing, corresponds to what they said to NBC.

Good.

This little Nas X person is considerably nasty. Some friends shared with me (I don't think I'll share them here) tweets from Little's alt Twitter accounts, where he's straight up praising pedophilia.

The Lord rebuke this spineless satanic cowardly pervert.

It's actually pretty interesting when you think about this concept. There are so many custom screen printing places taking a t-shirt brand and putting whatever they want on them. Usually the logo isn't visible though and you're not thinking Fruit of the Loom is endorsing a Deicide shirt but ultimately it's a similar concept for this company to do this with a shoe.

Yes, and if someone had one of the nicer Cricket's available, they can make custom shirts at home.

If Deicide were notorious enough to be common knowledge and disliked, yes I think it would be similar. Practically identical, with an applicable artist endorsement for a "limited edition Deicide Fruit of the Loom t-shirt".

If it was a Deicide shirt from a small online shirt vendor on Amazon with no shirt brand info, and the customer opened it and noticed the Fruit of the Loom Tag, they probably wouldn't think anything about it.

Not if they ordered it because they wanted the shirt. XD

All good.

This one will be interesting to see how it turns out seeing Nike are suing. Obviously a line was crossed in this case where it reflected poorly on the brand.

What I don't like is that the guy gets all this free publicity.

Exactly.  In retrospect, this agent provocateur was stirring the pot to garner some free pub.  His "career" is undoubtedly in the crapper, and--just like his fallen sideshow angel master--needs all the attention he can heap upon his useless self.

And, on a more random note...

It's officially allergy season.  I found a dusting of pollen atop the garbage can lid outside yesterday.  No wonder I'm blowing my honker like there's no tomorrow.

Same here! I get pretty bad allergy attacks about twice a year. Usually late Spring and early Fall.

What's really bothersome is when pollen kicks up AND it's still nippy out, necessitating house heating. Dust kicks up too!!

Dusting the house helps--which I'm doing now.

New word I've coined.  Tragesty.  Travesty + Tragedy.

Dusting is half-done.  Huzzah!

All done. Sigh.

"Tragesty"

The current state of society is a tragesty!

Lord willing, plan to order a Samsung Galaxy s21 next week.  Time for a serious upgrade, and deliver myself from the Google Goolag.

Also a good day for catching up on the laundry.  Changing out my winter sheets for springtime ones! Yay me! I have no life! 

The brother and I are hooking up my new printer.

“I appreciate that it is Good Friday, and you’d like to worship, but this gathering is unlawful”

The comments section on Twitter is appalling and shameful.  Too many fascists defending this tyranny.

Made it to church today. First time since last September. Feels really good.
