I was wearing my "OBEY" T-shirt when I went to the grocery store yesterday.

Cashier: OBEY? Obey who?
Me: Um . . . Andre the Giant?
Cashier: Pffft. He's dead.
Me: Well, yeah. But he still has a posse.
Cashier: A posse? Who's in the posse?
Me: I dunno -- a bunch of people, I guess. They put up stickers.
Cashier: I ain't studyin' no Andre the Giant.
Random guy gathering his grocery bags: Hey, he's dead, isn't he? Andre the Giant is dead, right?
Me: YES, he's dead, but he has a posse, understand?
Random guy: His son wrestles now, right? Andre the Giant's son is a wrestler?
Me: I . . . I really don't know.
Cashier: I ain't studyin' Andre the Giant's son.
Random guy: [to cashier] Oh, OK . . . [to me] Hey, thanks a lot!
Me: Um . . . sure.

I think the guy who came up with that idea is doing ads for Mountain Dew now.

Seriously?

Afraid so.

Yeah, there was an article in the LA Weekly a couple months ago. He's doing ad campaigns for Levi's, Mountain Dew, etc. His office is in the same building as the Wiltern Theater.

Wow -- I don't know if that's cool or depressing. :/

When people accused him of selling out he said something like, "They just don't understand how America works".

Damn yo, I didn't know Andre the Giant was dead :( I want some of those stickers

gaaah! I liked the "Mahir Has a Posse" stickers. I wonder what ever happened to Mahir . . .

*adds Chinese restaurants to the ever-growing list of places not to go wearing Posse shirt* :) It's weird -- I get more questions and comments about that shirt than I do about my Jesus Lizard shirt.
