Yo...Wow, congratulations on taking over Australia! You should supplement your designer income by becoming a hand model for the watches you design. <BR/><BR/>I think you and Mr. Redonkulous are right about the Burberry line. I was reading the lyrics:<BR/><BR/>I keep you workin that Hermes Burkin bag,Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens 600 drops, Mercedes Benz The only time you wear Burberry to swim And I donĀ“t have to worry, only worry is him<BR/><BR/>I guess Jay-Z feels like swimwear is inferior quality, and he's so rich that Burberry is a step down for him. Its weird that's he the spokesman for Budweiser.<BR/><BR/>As a Master of Design, whats your take on the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Terror Debacle?dumpoplexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790547576892408899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677772.post-60756203138115353332007-02-28T19:13:00.000-05:002007-02-28T19:13:00.000-05:00I have asked the opinion of Jay-Z and Burberry aff...I have asked the opinion of Jay-Z and Burberry afficiando Donkey McDonkerton (DMD) via instant messenger, and he disagrees, slightly, with our opinion, and then concludes, rightly, that the lyric makes no sense:<BR/><BR/>RDL: do you agree?<BR/>DMD: i o know<BR/>he mentions Hermes just before it, which is a little more expensive, but then he says timbs. I always thought it was "the only chick who wear burberry to swim", like its crazy to wear an expensive ass thing to swim in<BR/>RDL: and he is so rich that she can swim in it even though it is a great and expensive brand?<BR/>DMD: yes<BR/>RDL: ok got it, makes as much sense as the other, BUT why would that be the ONLY time she would wear burberry<BR/>DMD: shit dont make sense<BR/>who knows<BR/>gotta roll<BR/>maybe the only time you wear burberry to swim is if you have a hermes back and some minolo timbs<BR/><BR/>Shit makes no sense indeed.The Redonkulous Linkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876858012725974841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677772.post-30522273980297752512007-02-28T18:34:00.000-05:002007-02-28T18:34:00.000-05:00Yeah I agree.

And I think his point is just what you said, that he is so rich that his girl can't be bothered to wear a mediocre priced brand like Burberry except when she swims. Somehow degrading Burberry, a luxury brand with a distinctive British sensibility along with strong international recognition and differentiating brand values that resonate across a multi-generational and dual-gender audience, by only using it for swimming ir sun bathing.

Is he saying that he buys his girl the best stuff by the best manufacturers, way better than Burberry, so much so that she can swim in her regular clothes which are manufactured by mediocre companies like Burberry. It makes no damn sense to me, what am i missing?The Redonkulous Linkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876858012725974841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677772.post-85078274826625618712007-02-28T12:31:00.000-05:002007-02-28T12:31:00.000-05:00Man, I am so happy for you.

Hearing you describe it, I kept thinking of the time on Seinfeld when George had to take the Texas business men out for a good time and ended up getting shitfaced with them. Way to make being an American into a job assett.<BR/><BR/>Also that is pretty badass that you got to hang out with some cool bands. Maybe you could do a Killers Signature watch for Fossil.<BR/><BR/>Glad you and Ian had fun (and didn't burn down your house or anything). <BR/><BR/>joeaveragejoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14885756670034629998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677772.post-49322599291381314452007-02-28T11:25:00.000-05:002007-02-28T11:25:00.000-05:00Finally an update on the life of the Giant.
