Me too on the Expo's logo. Didn't see the 'M' until about age 20.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

Yeah, but the logo had only been out a year or so at that point.howard wrote:Me too on the Expo's logo. Didn't see the 'M' until about age 20.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Return of Confessions
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.BSF21 wrote:Maybe it's some fucked up rorschach test but I don't see shit. "M" if you strain real hard.
That's a stupid logo.
Re: Return of Confessions
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.

Re: Return of Confessions
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.

Re: Return of Confessions
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.

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

Shut your mouth. You probably prefer the solid blue caps to the classic red, white, and blue one.BSF21 wrote:Maybe it's some fucked up rorschach test but I don't see shit. "M" if you strain real hard.
That's a stupid logo.
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.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Return of Confessions
I'm excited for the Independence Day sequel, and not in a good-bad movie, ironic way.

A Rhode Island Fedora - when you purposely wear the smallest condom you can find with the hope that it falls off while in use
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

Re: Return of Confessions
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?rass wrote:A Rhode Island Fedora - when you purposely wear the smallest condom you can find with the hope that it falls off while in use

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.Giff wrote:Have you seen Finding Nemo?
