Was Buco not originally a brand though, started by Joseph Buegeleisen?

Von Dutch was an artist whose works were licensed and turned into a brand, like with Don Ed Hardy.

Buco was an amalgamation of his name and the word corporation Bu-Co.

I understand the mechanics of why, I just don't think it's right.

I'm still confused as to what you're trying to say, in either example.

Same could be said about the Lee (Originals or Archives) that are licensed to Edwin, Warehouse and RMC?!

[Snowy]

So the opinion is Mega doesn't like Brand Licensing? got it

Nice one David, I have no issue with Buco or their designs, just the use of the name on stuff not actually made by Buco (and yes the Lee thing irrationally irritates me too).

Well, it seems to have become that owing to the amount of explanation it has required

I hope the Greek parliament refuses the EU deal and the government resigns.

I hope the EU resigns thereafter.

Let's stick to to using the term "Bitch" though - otherwise I'd be insulting all real witches and witchy girls…

You can also refer to her as the greedy granny who's been tanning too long.

[Megatron1505]

She looks like my French teacher at school, who was also a perma-tanned evil old cow. We nicknamed her "granny brown".

And the US senate just sold the rest of the working stiffs down the river by ramming through their money masters trade pact.  Projected $40 billion loss in manufacturing over the next 10 years . I'm fucking pissed. I'm so glad I'm not 20 years old & having to live with the shit these jackals are dealing.
And for my UK brethren I'm angry not drunk. Yet.
