    Something humorous I pulled from Time Trafficker.:D

    Che Guevera and his Marvin watch...

    Quoted from website...

    "Marvin watches were worn by celebrities including Che Guevera. Some people even think that a reason that Marvin is a relatively unknown brand in the United States is due to its association with Che Guevara."

    The only Marvin-wearer I know is that Dixie Pinko MMMD. :p

    Seriously, we are to believe that Hoover suppressed Marvin because of the Guevara association?
    Poor Marvin!

    Somehow I missed this post. I like "Dixie Pinko"... sounds like a new band out of Chapel Hill (or, as Jesse Helms used to call it, "Comm'nist Hill")... maybe when "curmudgeonly absurdist" wears off.

    Hard to believe that Che Guevara, icon of the cause-less rebel hipster, was ever anything but marketing gold in the US.
