Me too on the Expo's logo. Didn't see the 'M' until about age 20.

Yeah, but the logo had only been out a year or so at that point.

That's a stupid logo.

I think I've mentioned this, but I met the dude who (claims to have?) created the logo at the funeral for one of those cousins you have that are 70 years older than you. I want to say there's a 3rd piece to the logo but I was a kid and don't remember what it was. He definitely explained a lot once he found out I liked baseball.

He also said "Rock Raines" in such a harsh French accent that for like a decade I was sure he called him "Jacques Raines". Now I'm wondering if he nailed my old cousin or her old sister and that's super gross.

I saw a piece on 60 Minutes years ago with some dude who pointed out all sorts of hidden things in logos, and meaning behind all sorts of things we see every day and don't notice. . I forget if he was a professor, a marketing guy or just had a weird hobby. The one that I can't help noticing is the arrow in the middle of the FedEx logo. Hadn't notice that before, can't help but look at it every time I see a FedEx truck.

The Lady had a presentation where she cited a whole list of those. I'll send over a few when I can recall them, but one I can recall is the two middle "T"s on the Tostito's logo are dipping a chip into salsa.

forgot about that one. Cool idea.

ETA: In case anyone else finds this interesting...

Similarly, I didn't realize this was a letter P until several years after I first saw the logo.

Don't feel bad. I didn't see that until the mid-2000s.

When I was a kid I thought the logo on the Montreal Expos hat said "elb."

Some stories claim that it's a stylized e and b as the original owner was Edward Bronfman.

There's a slight chance that I may have had a marijuana or two tonight.

Shut your mouth. You probably prefer the solid blue caps to the classic red, white, and blue one.

It's EMB for Expos de Montréal Baseball.

ETA: Also apt that the logo was mentioned, the announcement the new Montreal expansion team took place on the 27th of May, 1968, though they weren't named until September.

I'm excited for the Independence Day sequel, and not in a good-bad movie, ironic way.

It's nice that you and your wife have such a strong relationship.

I've come to the conclusion that my vibe is strictly fueled by the fedora. I'm not nearly as charming with a bare head.

Well, you probably won't have to break out the fedora as it looks like I'm probably stuck in Hartford all week.

Guys, I hung out with Giff tonight and I can confirm that even he thinks I'm awesome.

A Rhode Island Fedora - when you purposely wear the smallest condom you can find with the hope that it falls off while in use

And then you pour coffee milk in it and slap a Portuguese guy in the face

Wouldn't that be a large condom that would fall off? I sort of did this in Rhode Island, but I couldn't find the condom the next morning. Too drunk/tired to throw it away, couldn't find it in the morning. No coffee milk, but I did slap a Portuguese woman's ass in the process. Does that count?

I also did not know until today that it was the sequel to Finding Nemo.

I had seen the commercials too. I just never put 2+2 together.

Nope; I'm not a movie watcher, especially not kids movies. I figure I have plenty of time in the future to endure that category.
