    Juan Moore Tartan??

    Was gonna post this on the pub, but I guess our ID's for here don't work there an couldn't get on.

    My brother has a T shirt he loves and sent me an email asking for help figuring out what tartan, if any, is on the logo.

    I thought you could perhaps give a clue as to the possible heritage of this one, an old and faded t-shirt I got many years ago in Maui for the play on words, it was only recently did I (perhaps become sober enough to) notice that El Senor Moore's serape seemed to have tartan origins...thus, along with it's origins in Maui and it's references to Mexico (and beer), the tartan pattern completes the shirt's associations with all those cultures that have most influenced me...

    I can't tell if its supposed to be an actual tartan, or just a representative sketch. Not even sure its a real beer. I know we have a lot of experts out there...Any help appreciated.

    Was it DesCartes that said, "If God did not exist, it would be necessary for man to invent him."?

    If the Juan Moore tartan does not exist it will be necessary for you to invent it!

    Well, I think the joke is:

    "Juan Moore" = "One More"

    Say them out loud.

    However, it is a real beer:

    Aye Shay,

    Could also be read as "Want more" beer.

    Was hoping an eagle eye'd tartan expert would be able to tell if that tartan is just an artist's rendering of a generic tartan look, or if it's close to a real tartan. Wanna help my lil' brother with his question...

    To me, seems a lot like the MacKenzie tartan....??

    Hey! My name really IS Joe King! I have been hearing that for decades.:rolleyes:

    It is still kind of funny, though.

    (AA - no offense taken, even after hearing it for years, I still grin when people I know stumble across it)

    Aye Joe,

    I've had to put up with stupid drek since 1968 when the clown was rolled out. Only when call tracing was invented did I get any peace.

    Maybe nearly 40 years of practice with those stupid comments made it easy for me to deal with the kilt comments.

    Still nada about the tartan...oh well, worth a shot.

    Glad I'm not the only one. I thought my computer was acting up.
