   Was heavily into the whole no-branding thing in the 2000s. Never wore clothes with slogans or logos. Eschewed big brands. Bought a dog. Refused to name him. After six months, succumbed to peer pressure and called it Ian. Never responded to it. Just came and went as it pleased.

     @fesshole Love that somehow naming a dog fell under the category of branding for you.

     @Gargron @fesshole You are of course aware of the original meaning of the word branding?
     (Not primarily wood...)
