One day last year I was driving around in a bad mood because Home Depot was out of stock in 1X10s or something and all the local lumberyards were gone. I passed a t-shirt shop, turned around and went back. I wore my new "Home Depot Sucks" t-shirt to a local concert a few days later, and might as well have gone naked. The cops didn't have to drag me away, but it was a real conversation starter, and comments were going off around me like flashbulbs, probably divided about 50-50 on the topic. "Y'know, Home Depot is sponsoring this concert" stands out in my mind. Since I don't particularly enjoy that kind of attention and haven't gotten particularly worked up over the subject since then, I haven't worn it since. Now I dread going to the BORG because they might get me mad enough to wear it in the store......
