Didn't they lose badly when they tried to claim they owned the term "space marine"?
They lost so badly they lost several other trademarks too. (Because they mishandled the case by unnecessarily bringing those trademarks up.)

This is why everything they do now has a new, weird-rear end name, they want to be sure they can trademark it. So skeletons are now "deathrattlers".

Is this the actual sign? I’ve seen it multiple times now in different pictures. There’s a Smashburger in the next town over but I haven’t been by there recently.
I believe there's another sign to the left and right that aren't in frame and the thing is split across them in a weird way.

Arachnea was so good at weaving that she said she could beat the Gods themselves. Athena was like "nuh-uh" and she was like "uh uh" so they had a weaving duel, and she did beat the Goddess so she was like "Well if you're so good at weaving then how about you weave for the rest of your life?" :smug: and turned her into a spider.
Didn't she weave a tapestry making GBS threads on the gods for all their, you know, poo poo like this or Zeus raping people and the like?

That was also undeniably better than Athena's thing, of course.

... What logo is that on the steering wheel?

Fake edit:

You posted:

There is a Youtube "review" of driving a replica of K.I.T.T. and the guy doing the review is stoked as hell and playing up the experience until he got to drive it and soon realized that it's pretty much the absolute worst steering wheel imaginable. It's hard to take turns and uncomfortable to hold. The guy who made the replica agreed, saying that it's terrible to drive.

The Delorean is absolute garbage and if it hadn't been for BTTF it would have been nothing but a footnote in the large book of ill conceived automotive failures.
I believe that was supposed to be the joke in the original Back to the Future: the Delorean was known primary as a lovely car, so Doc Brown building his time machine on one was a real "stupid rear end mad scientist" thing to do. I haven't seen the film in a while but I think there's even a "You made a time machine out of a delorean??" line in there.

And then the movie turned out to be extremely popular, and here we are.

You ain't wrong.

Also that RPO dudes car is loving stupid because it has the ghostbusters logo on it. That infuriates me way more than it should.
The Ghostbusters logo and the hazard tape stripe, and the steering "wheel" from KITT from Knight Rider. And a flight sim joystick or something for a stick shift.

No, the shirt is on the t-shirt. You wear the t-shirt not the shirt, therefore t-shirt shirt.



EDIT: Aaaand, it's happened. "Shirt" no longer looks like a word to me.

It says "two wearing options", I think you can wear it as a t-shirt with a shirt stuck to the front, OR as a shirt with a t-shirt stuck to the back.
