At the risk of sounding stupid... I always thought Old Man Emu was a real
brand... then a month or so ago I made the connection - Old Man Emu and OME.
So I thought it was just a cute little reverse acronym the guys on the list
made up... Old Man Emu for OME.  Now you're saying they actually have the
Old Man Emu stamped on the shock... or is that OME???

Obviously confused in Hawaii,
