I use to have a tee shirt with the John Deere logo back around '75 or so
and it was THE coolest thing anyone had seen.

That is funny. no it really is.
But squggles on a napkin wouldnt take off like the deer head. It just
wouldnt.

I know that i have seen the deer head used in soooooo many forms lately,
and at seems as though hipster culture just goes right on using it, and
defining it as cool. It is like some gross DIESEL ad.
From deer head and antlers at the WHITNEY, to architecture magazines
and netart, and trucker hats.

maybe it is just a product of the icon.
it has been ironic for the past 10 years to wear t-shirts that were
highly iconic. and yes the john deer tshirt and mesh hat being the top
of the pile.

i am disgusted with it already.
