Why has Taa Moan starting his posts in a weird vers libre format?

Yikes, gav, can't you find something else? It's like calling a place 'fireworks' with the sign of fireworks as the logo then another place claiming that it was stolen. Alchemy has always been related to ancient chemistry.
Just because the world revolves around the state of perpetual sunshine and orange juice, doesn't make Vermont small and insignificant.
Without Vermont, there is no Ben and Jerry's ice cream. No cherry garcia!!

For what it's worth, Gavinmac and others on this site have been spotting amusing trademark violations for quite some time. It's quite funny, especially in this day and age when it is so easy to search for pictures. There has been a gradual compliance with copyrighting coming through, especially if someone is stepping on someone else's toes. There was a good example of this a few months ago when somebody decided it was a good idea to completely rip-off Cafe Amazon, and set up a "Cafe Amazing", with pretty much the exact same branding. There was quite a big backlash against them for this and they changed their outfits.
In this case it really doesn't seem important, as the bar in Vermont is not exactly in competition with the one here. However, it is obvious that they have stolen the logo of the US bar. It's not just some generic alchemy symbol, it's a logo done specifically for this bar.
It doesn't actually matter now as the owner of Alchemy here seems to acknowledge the issue and is willing to change it. I think he needs to fire his graphic designer. Or else just ignore it, like who really gives a shit?

Fire his graphic designer? The owner of the bar here is from Vermont. He's probably the first, maybe second, Vermonter ever to live here. And his "graphic designer" just ended up stealing a name and logo of a place from where he's from?Lucky Lucan wrote:It doesn't actually matter now as the owner of Alchemy here seems to acknowledge the issue and is willing to change it.

I heard something from the Sessions testimony today that seems applicable: "It Just doesn't smell right."

You might remember the Horse as being funny, but I doubt anyone would find that drivel funny nowadays.Taa Moan wrote:When it came to awful black humour and pathos, The Horse was hard to beat.
And if you can't appreciate GavinMac's intelligence, wit, and sleuth skills, maybe it's a good idea to just keep quiet and try and learn. He's amazing.

He was an unpaid mod and got his knickers in a knot when scobienz overruled his megalomania on a few occasions, notably over his homophobia. KiR and he were the Frodo and Sam Lords of Ring ForaTaa Moan wrote:Gavinmac, who pays you for these witch finding duties?
Is BSCW your alter ego?
Are you a Secret Mod?
If not, Why?
He was also a tad angry when found out I was getting paid.
Agree that he deleted bonez's posts because bonez was funnier.

Lol, Vermont is basically upstate New York. I've met dozens of Vermonters here.
