Club 600

I was watching English football on the TV today and saw something that reminded me of a very perplexing situation. There is a small college in Farmville, PA (not the real name of the town) called Franklin & Marshall. While on a trip in London I saw someone wearing a sweatshirt for F & M. The college. I thought, that is the CRAZIEST coincidence. There are only 2,300 people that attend the school. I went to a school with 30,000 people and I've never seen a sweatshirt abroad. Then a few days later I saw another one. And then on TV this morning, someone in the crowd had one on. Turns out its a strange story of an Italian clothing company using the schools name without permission and selling clothes all round europe... based on a tiny school in rural pennsylvania.

They no longer sell the clothes in the US because of low sales, but have their own .co.uk website. Too funny.

Wiki clip:
In 1999, after seeing an official Franklin & Marshall sweatshirt, a company[SUP][38][/SUP] based in Verona, Italy, began producing items of clothing in a vintage 1950s collegiate-style with the words "Franklin and Marshall" on them. F&M alumni began to report seeing F&M merchandise for sale in Europe, something which puzzled the college.[SUP][39][/SUP]
In 2001, Tim McGraw posed for publicity photos wearing a "Franklin Marshall Wrestling" t-shirt,[SUP][40][/SUP] one of which was included in the CD booklet for his album Set This Circus Down. When many asked Franklin & Marshall College about its nonexistent connection to the singer, the college investigated and discovered that the Franklin Marshall Clothing company was using its name without permission.[SUP][41][/SUP] In 2003, the college licensed the name to the company so it could sell its products, many of which omit Franklin & Marshall's ampersand, in the United States.[SUP][39][/SUP][SUP][41][/SUP]
The clothing company, which owns the rights to "Franklin & Marshall" outside the United States, states that its designs are "inspired by the American Vintage College spirit, as exemplified by Franklin & Marshall College."[SUP][38][/SUP] Most of its products are made in Italy and are much more expensive than the Champion-produced licensed apparel the college's bookstore sells. As of 2011 the company has stores in six cities: Athens, Milan, Tokyo, and Paris, and also sells through high-end stores likeHarrods in Britain. Although it no longer sells its products in the United States due to poor sales, in 2010 the company pledged to donate $130,000 to the college's scholarship fund.

What's up my fellow 420 growers im new to this site & wanted to ask have any1 had experience growing blue dream in a 4x4x6.5 tent.. Was wondering at what height should i start flowering & is 8 clones ti many for that space

i'm using a 4' 9" square tent. i have, now don't laugh, put 20 in there. they were seedlings and i was looking for a keeper. i'd just rotate the plants under the lamp every watering. 3 gallon smart pots.

i typically flower at about 2 to 2.5 feet tall.

this is 12 plants. it's crowded but that's how i do things. this is at 3 weeks in flower. there are actually many more budlets but i have these things tied down everywhere. i just started using tomato cages on a few plants. very handy for taller ones.

people goof on me for growing so many but i'll pull around 15 oz off this batch. they can laugh all they want. the proof is in my numerous ball jars.

i love jungles.......

your plants look healthy, keep us updated.

Morning all.
Some chucklenuts decided to knock over my scooter this morning in the parking lot of the small apartment compound we currently live at (4 buildings, with a total of 32 apartments).
Probably some drunk piece of shit.
Not sure if it was one of our "wonderful" "neighbors" in this building, or a random chunk of human filth.
Nothing was broken, but there is a scratch on the exhaust's heat shield (a plastic heat barrier bolted to the outside of the muffler).
Either way, they had better thank their maker I sleep with headphones on (any noise outside keeps me awake and alert, so I put my headphones on and let some documentaries run on VLC player to cover noises from outside. Part of the PTSD I mentioned, and part of the cause of my chronic insomnia).
Went to sleep at 3-am, and the wife went out this morning at 7:30 to get some breakfast and came up to wake me up and let me know someone vandalized my scooter.
Going to be a sleepless night tonight, because I will be staying up and watching (the scooter is parked in a parking spot at the bottom of the stairs, 15 steps away from where I sleep).
FSM help them if they do it again.
I may be busted up, but I'm still lethal at all distances.

Fucking savages in this town...
I'll be so glad to get the fuck out of this sardine can apartment complex...
Hope everyone else has a good Saturday morning.

looking real nice.

i hope to find myself in a position to grow outside someday. indoor is nice but i really want to see what i can do with a few 20 gallon smart pots.

what's the deal with california? is it 10 plants you're allowed?

how do you get permission to grow outside. do you just need a med card?

i used to live in marysville. i may have to think about moving to cali.

hell yea 209, few months and you gonna have a beast..

Well, $171 later, and it will show up in the mail Monday:

thanks, benji's a hand full. he killed 8 clones in my room, already

@209 - Man's best friend! Although I would also like to be friends with your forest!

@Doobie - That sucks! I dig your alarm system. Have you ever listened to Mother's Finest? They have some of the most intense funky bass popping riffs.


Cheers,
Mo

I know some people equate Funk with Disco, but there is a huge difference, and Mother's Finest is one of those Funk bands that made the difference quite obvious. (nothing wrong with good Disco, as it's easy to dance to, but Funk Is It's Own Reward *see second song posted below. That's some high art right there.)

Thanks for the awesome reminder to look back into some great music.
I am now smiling.
