So... this sounds like bullshit, and I can't find any official confirmation. But it's the kind of bullshit that SOUNDs legitimate.

I mean, seriously, doesn't this sound like something that'd happen?

Can someone help me out here? Find official confirmation of some kind?

I dunno. Don't mailmen get all sorts of tail? Perhaps I am thinking of milkmen... We need a milkman clothing line!

This will be an abomination.

I love it when Walker's makes these kind of threads. His rage amuses me.

Nah, it makes sense! Postal service all-weather clothing! "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." It's awesome! Like if the Coast Guard made a brand of winter survival gear.

I'm not enraged. I would buy the **** out of a USPS clothing line. I just can't tell if it's real or I've been taken in by a hoax. Found the company who's supposedly making the clothing with a posted news release purportedly from the postal service, but I can't tell.

Not that it's related, but I just bought this scurvy, puntastic, and otherwise caffeinated shirt from Beauford, NC.

I'm not enraged. I would buy the s*** out of a USPS clothing line. I just can't tell if it's real or I've been taken in by a hoax. Found the company who's supposedly making the clothing with a posted news release purportedly from the postal service, but I can't tell.

I see her point though. See, even in this post you sound like you're going to be buying clothes so, so... angrily.

Anyway, the USPS is in desperate need of some cash. Let the republicans and free marketeers wank each other off over how privatized anything is awesome (like health care? LOL) but I'd rather it be a failing sinkhole for our taxes than something that has to turn out profit to a corporate machine. It's just so much more trustworthy when you know they're losing money but carrying on with it anyway. It means it operates without greed, literally.

He's not angry.

He's just passionate.

Don't lie to me, Walker. I've seen you driving around, yelling at mail boxes.

Unless I completely misunderstood it, I'm more worried about this part:
"Isaac Crawford, CEO of Wahconah Group, Inc. tells ABC News that this is going to be an “image-conscious, first class, high end line.""

That shirt's kinda awesome, moreso because I hate coffee.

Angrily is the only way to buy clothes.

It's my passionate Latin blood.

Wait, mailboxes? That's different. Don't you know that mailboxes are part of the invasion of aliens who resemble everday objects? It started with the Walk/Don't walk signs and only expanded from there.

Yeah, that kinda worried me, too. I mean, I SAID I'd buy it, but this is me. High end? Image-conscious? Bite me, bitches, I'll stick to the ten-year-old North Face ripoff I got at the Thrift store.

I replied to you up above and accidentally put the reply in the middle of my quote of your reply. Ooops.

Right on, show them who's the boss.

There's no need to be upset.

I'll be upset if it isn't real, all right.
