To get around the dress code he wears an ecko t-shirt under a plaid button up but you can still see the horrible graphic.<BR/>He speaks almost entirely in monotone, and calls everyone by their full name.<BR/>Half of the problems he writes involve "Little Brucie" or "Little Judie (his wife)" as the people pushing things or accelerating, etc.<BR/>He also has, which I have never seen, a podium he only brings out on parents night that is COVERED in bumper stickers, many of which are glittery and/or say things like "I'm a pimp".<BR/>http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Little_BrucieCardinal Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343234038035702591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414428525116518213.post-65128618349109422132007-04-16T12:00:00.000-07:002007-04-16T12:00:00.000-07:00Well I'll have to disagree with you here. The pric...Well I'll have to disagree with you here. <BR/><BR/>The price of clothes has gotten way out of control and a-lot of it has to do with flashing designer labels. No ECKO, CK or any of the others for me unless I find something I like on super clearance.<BR/><BR/>The shorts in question were made to look like ratty, used cut offs, of cargo pants which are lame to begin with. I don't have to feign amazement that someone would pay $50 for that. Truly strange.<BR/><BR/>I'm a sales rack shopper and a thrift store junky. And yes, you find some damn funny stuff at Ross's, indeed and funnier stuff still at the thrift stores, but looking for that rare jewel in the pig slop is fun and rewarding and I'm always stoked when I get well made clothes that I dig for a few bucks.<BR/><BR/>Have you even looked at the rest of the site? The funny stuff we find at used stores is what we're all about man. Though I will have to remember to cruise the Macy's more often.KLJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518406972256513476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414428525116518213.post-1458060267677967892007-04-16T11:47:00.000-07:002007-04-16T11:47:00.000-07:00it doesn't stand for anything.

It's Marc Ecko's (ECKO's designer/owner) last name. <BR/><BR/>You know, kinda like "Calvin Klein" is the name of the dude who started the line. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate that $50 is a lot for some people to pay for shorts. Hell, it's a lot for me to pay for shorts, but to feign amazement at the price that 'these suckers will pay for clothing' is a little silly. Indeed, you are paying a premium for the marketing and design, but to pretend that a $10 hanes t-shirt is of the same quality as a tailored $50 shirt is incorrect. yes, there are a lot of stupid designs out there. yes, people buy this bullshit. even more suprisingly, people buy fake knock-offs of this bullshit. the urban fashion movement is an incredible thing. <BR/><BR/>you can buy these sorts of clothes on the cheap at buy/sell/trade stores or dept. store outlets like nordstrom rack or marshall/ross's.<BR/><BR/>in fact, i'd recommend going to one of those stores (particularly the latter) if you want to see the REALLY awful stuff that couldn't even sell on clearance in the department store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414428525116518213.post-52247073568100462242007-04-15T16:12:00.000-07:002007-04-15T16:12:00.000-07:00Not sure what ECKO stands for, but I'm guessing it...Not sure what ECKO stands for, but I'm guessing it translates to us white folk as "expensive crap Killa, OH!
