the baron likes this shirt very much. she found it sometime late last year, at the herbivore clothing company's website, and bought it for the husband as a holiday gift. the paramilitary aspect of the design appeals to her - the intricate blade design and the crossed swords. also those fern things on the side, it's all so symmetrical and pretty and evokative of civilized violence. also, there at the bottom? where you can't quite see? it reads: 'liberate protect avenge', which the baron loves best of all.don't misunderstand - were you, reader, to share a meal with the baron and her husband at some vague, imagined restaurant, they would not abuse you for ordering the chicken, they would not try to liberate, protect or avenge your meal at all. they are not the sort of 'no meat' eaters who proselytize, sharing their unwanted opinions above the protestations of company. they would respect your desire for chicken, and they would expect you to do the same of their not-chicken. see how simple? to get along?
