BROWN AND OUT

These Go on Your Face

The sun. It’s warm. It’s friendly. And overall, it has good intentions. But it can come on a little strong sometimes. Like this pun. Anyway, you’ll need Orlebar Brown’s new line of sunglasses. They’re all handmade and battle-tested on the Amalfi Coast. So... feel free to conduct a follow-up test.

Odds you’ll eat Count Chocula in the breakfast nook: strong to very strong

Well, this browser plug-in will automatically change the word “literally” to “figuratively” every time it appears on your screen. Which is litera... okay, we’re pissing ourselves off now.
