OSU wins trademark for the word, "the"

Unread post by kager »

Or, maybe that should be "OSU wins trademark for *** word, "the"
Ohio State University has officially registered a trademark for the word "THE" after a nearly three-year battle to clinch legal branding access to a word that's deeply meaningful to the school's overall identity.

Without a doubt.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Cincinnati isn't bad. C Bus can go to hell as can the rest of the state.

Kentucky is misunderstood. The far southeast and far west parts are shithole areas, but the caves are beautiful in central Kentucky. Lexington and Louisville have plenty of options for food and shopping. The University of Kentucky is a fun place. We visited Lincoln's birthplace outside Frankfort one time as well. I nearly went to college outside Lexington.

Louisville is a blast. I loved Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger museum. Mammoth Cave makes for some great hiking.

I lived in Michigan until junior high then my parents dragged me to Toledo, where I lived until moving to (near) Cleveland after college. While my wife keeps me in Ohio (I’d rather be in the Carolinas), Cleveland is an alright place to live.

Yeah, “the” Ohio State is very cringeworthy.
