A Bunch Of Carp

There is supposed to be a monster that inhabits Lake Erie ⇒. This monster is reputed to be a 20-30ft (6-9m) reptile named Bessie. According to legend, Bessie was especially active in the 19th Century and the early 21st century. Bessie predates and has been outshined in the public imagination by Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster.

No proof has ever been presented as to the existence of either Bessie or Nessie. These ideas are just two of many more stories that are retold those that want to think about anything less boring than reality in order to extract money or power. Belief in any of these concepts beyond youth demonstrates a lack of critical thinking skills.

Decisions

The decision to exercise artistic license depict Bessie like a drunk relative of Grimace ⇒ holding a beer can while floating in the water pays dividends from interest. Attempts to do something novel are appreciated by people like me, and I imagine others.

I also agree with my own decision to not go through all of the secondary backers. To give separate acknowledgement to each backer would treat a piggy back like the engine of movement. In this case, all of the backers are legibly mentioned on the 2nd picture that features the back design so anyone that wants to do their own research is able.

The Moniker

The influence of the idea of a Lake Erie Monster is real within the Cleveland area commerce. Great Lakes Brewing Company ⇒ releases a seasonal beer ⇒ from May through July. The local American Hockey League franchise of the same name ⇒ is a farm team for the Colorado Avalanche ⇒ of the top level National Hockey League.

Build A Better Tourist Trap

Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio is a tourist trap village located an hour east of Cleveland and a little over 2 hours west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At the height of it’s reknown, the town was the spot where titans of industry such as Firestone, Ford, and Rockefeller would relax during the summer. These days, regular people still show up to do stuff at the lake, patronize local ⇒ buisnesses ⇒ along ⇒ the ⇒ Strip, and visit wineries during the summer.

Germane to this shirt, Donor & Receiver Mac*‘s family enjoyed their numerous trips to the village. I am surprised that they did not have more shirts. None of their vacations to the town have been recent.

Left Me Far Behind

This was the only shirt of a pile left behind by Mac after he left for California that were not related to his former employment. As such, it was the only truly unexpected shirt of the group. I credit him with the donation because he told me that he was going to give me these shirts before he left and saw to it that all other people who stayed behind with access to the shirts would grant me access to them.
