Nike is DEAD? GREAT! I think I'll go throw rocks against the windows of their giant warehouse in Rancho Cucamonga! (Let's just say it was one of those "Temp" situations I was GLAD to walk out of.)

Well, we can dream, anyhow.

Ironically, a drunken reveler fell down a 40 foot shaft which once was a Nike Missile base in the hills above L. A. over the weekend.

Tch! Did said reveler survive?

He was airlifted to a Hospital where they mended him. I cannot find any articles stating his current condition.

Over hyped and over priced.

And those are their GOOD qualities.

(bows)

I don't remember anything happening Nike? am I missing something?

Yeah. Go back and check the headlines.

I haven't heard anything about the company going bankrupt then again I haven't read a newspaper in 10 years and i haven't watched the news on television in nearly that long. If it's not on local radio news. I generally don't know about it

They haven't gone bankrupt, yet. We don't live that good. They have lost $4 billion in stock value over their bonehead moves, though.

I'm guessing they could've done something stupid like made Donald Trump. The new face of their product or something like that. I'm guessing what the whole fusses over is that football player with the with wild hair that they made part of one of their commercials didn't go over so big I know he's one of those guys that something to do with taking a knee during the national anthem or some foolish this like that. Like I keep saying I'm not Familiar much with the media. I'm trying to figure what the hell's going on with Donald Trump was orange. As Hal then he turned white. Now he's turning orange again. ? Is he like the Incredible Hulk or something. He's going to start yelling Trump smash and throwing cars around? I swear I seen a recent interview with Obama and he looks like he was turning orange like Trump.

I suspect they've been meddling with the camera color balances to make Trump look weird and forgot to turn it off for Obama...

I hate to say it, but that would be ridiculous that anybody bother with the color balance of the camera. I'm not even sure what news network. It was, I couldn't hear any of what either person was saying it was at a television at a McDonald's and they had the sound turned off. I don't know why but tromp always seems to get these weird positioning to his head and face. When they're interviewing him. I don't know if anybody else ever noticed that he kind of twisted his head to one side and looks kind of awed. Then there's the fact some of the stuff tromp says admittedly makes me giggle. Don't get me wrong, he's exactly what the Americans need right now. You guys have been suffering ever sense Borsch, senior was forced to pull troops out of the Iraqi War before the job got done. Obama was way too light handed about everything and let everybody walk all over him politically. At least if somebody pushes tromp. He's not going to Weibel and Walpole he's going to immediately push back like a pit bull. I've got it would bit. I respect he's got guts. The man actually went and had dinner with one of the worlds top 10 begging to be put down. Leaders frankly, I was a little bit surprised tromp didn't get up during the meal and take the guy out himself was a little surprising. They seem to get along. From what I understand. I kept expecting there'd be this news report that tromp barehanded took the little bastard out. Guys father was bad enough but little dictator Junior is a even scarier nuisance. Him and tromp being in the same room together would've been like JFK and Castro having a steak dinner together. I'm surprised they ever went along with it. Security wise, must've been a huge security risk for the president. Given how many people wanted to take out little nuisance and wouldn't have cared. Considering tromp to be collateral damage. I still wonder what's tromp planning on doing with space force. Every time I hear that I think of a bad joke from some old videogame. It's hard to take the concept seriously. Still wish I understood what the hell's going on tromp was starting to look normal colored now he's turning orange again. I mean, has the guy didn't eating too many Doritos or something? I mean, if it's tanning. You'd think somebody would set take him aside and say excuse me sir, you're using a little bit too much spray on tan. For the record, it's got nothing to do with the coloring that makes him look weird. It's things like the way he sets up his hair and those facial expressions. Plus, he's constantly turning his head to the side whenever talking to the camera reminds me of Prime Minister CrayChan here in Canada. Dear Lord we never understood 90% of what the man was saying and he didn't take the time to care everything always came out like Rall Rall Rall Row row. He was constantly misquoted by the media because nobody could translate what he was barking into legible English man sounded like he was chewing on a dog bone while making a speech and what nobody remembers is that guy was our leader for over 10 years and a real loose cannon LOL. The crap he said when he wasn't in office anymore was flat out hilarious this big political scandal started brewing around the time he retired and when the media tried to speak to him. He said I'm not the leader anymore. It's not my problem and in so many words told everybody to go screw off. I think he gave and gave the press the middle finger at one point and laughed about the situation when he retired, he signed a bunch of paperwork absolving him from anything that might take place after his retirement or touring his reign as Prime Minister. So basically anything he was or wasn't involved in won't come back to bite him in the ass and he's completely free to say whatever the hell he wants and not be accountable. He basically disappeared from the public eye. Almost immediately after retiring, which is normally pretty difficult guy pulled a real Jimmy Hoffa last I heard he still alive, but nobody seems to know where he's at, or what he's up to. So much negative crap about from and you hear so little positive I'm a Canadian who barely has an inkling of what goes on in the media, and even I know he's not screwing things up. Half as much as people lame at the end of the day it doesn't matter whether he is or isn't any number of negative things. What I keep saying is your country is overdue to have a leader that is actually running the country, not just coddling the general populace. I got so sick and tired of phrases like politically correct and everything thing to just warm and coddle everyone. There are several countries right now that are going in the toilet because the leaders have forgotten how to run a country. You're not going to please everybody and keep the ship afloat. Personally, one thing I think Trump is overlooking is the value of Mexicans in the US in my opinion but I'm no world leaders. So, my opinion doesn't count immigrant labor is significantly valuable and its partner what's been keeping America afloat. Where as countries like Canada are sinking ships.

I probably sound ignorant saying this but you go to the average public store will say Walmart as an example Walmart is a beacon of example for lazy employment. Jesus the amount of laziness I see at stores like Walmart makes me question how the hell are country as a whole is able to function and these people are being paid how much per hour? You go to the US, there are several immigrant labor forces like the Mexicans who are being paid horribly under the table and work like their life depended on it. And I hate to say it but it's how things get done and it's why the Americans are much further ahead of places like here. There are so many people here in Canada overly paid for doing little to nothing to justify what they're being paid and the whole country grounding for it. Minimum wage apparently stands for minimal amount of work required. You literally see employees wearing T-shirts like just because I'm smiling doesn't mean I like you, or just because I work here doesn't mean I care. My favorite are Walmart employees who take their uniform off and stick it in their back pocket like they're playing flag football so customers don't know they work their how many people here have wondered around the Walmart for 45 min. or more trying to find a floor clerk for a particular department and encountered other customers roaming around like zombies in a Romero movie all looking for clerks when we do find one. Whoops, sorry, that's not my department. Not my problem. Have a good Walmart day. Don't get me started about you go around back to the loading dock and Bing Bing Bing. How many employees you find standing around smoking a joint or joints like a scene from Cheech and Chong. Yes I know I sound like a real evil and sob. i believe I mentioned the call center that would hire me and I know of at least one of their top brass who literally couldn't stand working there was in one of the highest-paid positions possible and whining about 90% of the time he had nothing to do and the job was cutting into his weed smoking time back I started out at the bottom of the ladder and Being promoted strictly because he didn't up and quit. Usually, people working at the call center quit after three or four months. The guy was so baked all the time that he managed to work there right up until the place went ass up. how many people think a business works. If you reward employees strictly for not quitting? These people got trips and everything and repeatedly promoted just for showing up to work doing the minimum job possible and not quitting and were automatically promoted, no matter what their skill set was it mostly worked, except for they ended up with three or four people in the highest promotional bolt position at the Corporation office who were practically brain-dead zombies warming a chair in between smoking joints and throwing pencils at the ceiling. They literally gotten promoted to the point they were in a nice swanky office with nothing to do for several hours a day every so often they would be required to listen in and do quality control of phone calls or do these little multiple-choice evaluation sheets on employees like I keep saying minimal workload necessary to avoid being fired. My job interview at that call center was the most bizarre job interview I've ever had. It was starting to feel like I was being interviewed to be inducted to a called or perhaps evaluated work for some Klein destined government black ops off the books department. Most of the job interview was bloody government psychological stuff. They normally have for Canadian Secret Service Employe . Some of it reminded me of what was done later on. In an episode of Malcolm in the middle where the guy went to the wrong job interview who was the boys father or something like that show. It was quite similar to that. I still were member this very badly phrased question on a very early part of the interview and out of about 60 people. I was the only person who initially pointed out the question was too broad and when the person conducting the interview said does anybody else have the same problem. Nearly every hand in the room got raised. Question was go on the Internet and find the head office for the telemarketing center. Problem was, when you did a web search. It brought up multiple answers. It would bring you up. The head office for Halifax head office for Toronto and so forth. They didn't specify if they wanted city head office province and office or Canadian head office of the company. When you do a Google search. It would bring back a crap load of results for convergence head office. Apparently I was the only person during a group interview who ever question that early question on the interview she that was used to test how well people knew how to use a Google search engine. Everybody else just picked whatever the first answer was on Google and didn't question it. Apparently answering the question was good enough on its own. Didn't matter if it was the right answer. LOL.

Perhaps Nike should take a knee... to the groin.

Or an arrow to the knee?

Yyeeaahh!!

Comedy! ... I'm gonna go read some Donne and think good thoughts of my fellow humans. I'll believe it sooner or later.

Well, if you put Descartes before the worse, it'll work out...

Major?

Yes?

Hat.

PF Flyers baseball cap!

*MAN WITH A HAYWAIN BY CONSTABLE*

Only good thing they've done in a long time is support Colin Kaepernick.

Do you know that they don't actually make any shoes? Every single type and brand they own is subbed out to companies, mostly overseas, wherever they can get it done as cheaply as possible.

I was recently searching to find an email I could send a note to regarding the fact that every pair of All-star high tops I've bought since they purchased the company and moved manufacturing from Vietnam to the U.S. has failed in the same way within about a month. I could not for the life of me find an address to write to. Ah corporations...
