remove Nazi logo ... why?
So, the company felt that putting out a racist shirt was okay, but hardcore lyrics were plain out! Yep. You can't listen to R or X-rated lyrics, but please ... wear this Mel Gibson approved apparel. Yeah ... getting rid of the shirts is a good idea. It might have been missed except for the number of people remembering Veteran's Day and thinking of all those who served and sacrificed for the nation and, quite literally, the world . For this reason, the shirts were pulled. The idea of a censorship leaning store favoring a negative direction -- not likely.
Of course, I'm sre there would be people wanting stormtrooper shirts removed even if they had the typical white uniform clones of George Lucas' creation.
In the end, somebody who couldn't draw a skull, found one on the internet and used it. Unknown to the person it was either a scan or a very good rendition of an SS used skull.

token
I cleaned out the gutters of my neighbor's house and got this. Now either I'm a golfer (like him) or I'm a chamber member. Cool, eh? As a chamber member, I could be seeking to remove the unwanted in society -- hint, it's a movie.

seeded
paraphrasing from (blecht) Fantastic Four, "Now imagine this ... all over my body". That's right. I went into the bushes trying to clean out the area pretty good and my sweatshirt bore these, as would my arms and legs -- as I resemble a bear more than anything else. Washing my sweatshirt removed about half of these, not all.

answering questionaires
DOB: Jan 1, 1901. That would make me 105 years old, yes. I also live in Topeka, KS and have a California zip and a New Jersey area code. Hint: bugger off! When asked on a questionaire online -- no one has a right to know anything about me. I'm 600 years old for all that matters. I earned $1 trillion annually, have 3,000 children to 578 wives, own two houses.
Tip to online services: quit asking me to lie to you.

Getting hard?
Beavis and Butthead, "huh hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu"
They said hard.
Yeah, hardening of arteries is what I call it from now on. I think I would have call it that in middle school, had I thought of it and had there been a point of reference for context.

raking fun
Elders and maple seeds "helicopters" seized the lawn this year. They fell late, after the massive winds, leaving the lawn brown with their being. They don't rake well because of their size. I used a blower and after 90 minutes, I felt I complete what I could, in the front. Yippee, what fun. Also, because of their size, the pile was very small next to the one-last-load of leaves I brought to the street on Sunday. Lawncare is tough, which is why there are so many lawncare services around. I didn't have to rake much this year, but boy this nightmare of maple seeds irked me. I'm glad I'm done with it.

packed
Monkeyjack's collection, not mine (sniff).
"You don't want to go to Toontown, you don't have to go to Toontown." + This pack opened to the tune of Porky Pig singing, falteringly and sutteringly, "Blue Christmas". Next, we'll follow with, "the fifth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me, writing Christmas cards!"
Now, the questions are: Are they new; where did he get them; is the tree already there?
